    Who Did You Just See Live?

    Yelling? Wow! Well, you did say "last night" so it couldn't have been a Sunday matinee...

    The Artist

    I had made a point of not looking at this thread before seeing the film. It was a digital presentation-- but I see modern movies so seldom that I only know "that's what they're going to" and I don't know where they use it and where they don't. I didn't give a thought to the aspect ratio...

    How do you play "Ask Me Another"?

    Thanks so much!

    How do you play "Ask Me Another"?

    Remember a frustrated Groucho, says to Chico(? I believe...): "Say, we're not playing Ask Me Another..." and here are some lyrics from "Who-oo? You-oo, That's Who!"-- "Everywhere, now-a-days, They've got that question-asking craze; Dad says to Mother, Ask me another; Now, I got...

    The Artist

    There was the "Benny Goodman 1937 Sing, Sing, Sing Scare"-- it's in the ads but not in the movie-- but the music in the big dance number finale also sounded more like 1937 than 1932, to me.

    Golden Era Hair Oddities

    I find myself wishing for a higher angle for the Physical Culture image-- I think there's a bird's nest up there, with eggs.

    The Artist

    The girl reminds me of the 1970s actress Kay Lenz... with sort of a Brooke Adams mouth? I didn't care for the song she(?) sang on the soundtrack. A standard, but I'm drawing a blank. It didn't seem like a rendition that would bring even movie star of the time, another invitation to sing.

    Whatever was showing on the adjacent screens of the multiplex where I saw it had more than enough explosions and rumblings, thank you. Is there a movie called "Saving Private Skywalker"?

    Favorite classic horror movies

    I saw Karloff's "Frankenstein" at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo, and it drew a good crowd but quite a few were giggling at the "scariest parts."

    Counting Your Change...

    I didn't know they kept on with "1964" after the year had ended. Like cheating on their own rules-- a "1965" would have to have the new content, right? When I used to be into coins a little bit, I noticed 1946 was very popular for nickels-- catching up after the wartime metal shortages I suppose.

    What are you listening to?

    John Gary's last album for RCA (1970) was a combination of old songs, such as "Baltimore Oriole" and "She's Funny That Way," and vintage-inspired tunes including "(Rah Rah Rumble Seats and Running Boards) Those Were the Good Old Days." Each side started and ended with an actuality from the...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    And just about to make one of those "Our Miss Brooks" wisecracks... although I have to admit I've never seen the TV version... and it took me a while to start liking the radio version.

    What are you wearing today??

    crazydaisy, that's spectacular. Seriously. On a lighter note, isn't it great that the bit of camera red-eye goes with the colors you're wearing?

    Songs That Sound Alike

    Yeah, I had the Cantor/Ono similarity in mind too.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Top one reminds me of Eve Arden.

    Remember these cash/receipt tubes in stores?

    I remember them from the Sears office where my father worked. (I was reminded of that office the other day when I used a water dispenser equipped with pointy-bottomed paper cups... I know those aren't exactly rare, but I hadn't seen any in a long time.)

    What are you wearing today??

    This image seems to call for a desperate explanation/excuse, such as "I missed my bus, because it went by at least four minutes before it's supposed to! But I... I... I... won't let it happen again. Ma'am."

    Boswell Sisters, Andrew Sisters, Dining Sisters and what else?

    I've seen the Three X Sisters in one or two movie shorts which had a radio-studio setting. In one they did "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Lately I heard The Thrasher Sisters (Andrews-style) on a radio show-- I think it was Fountain of Fun from 1942.

    Disney's Carousel of Progress

    It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but currently (on certain days of the week) the esteemed Reynolds Brothers (Ralf and John, with helpers) are performing at Disney's California Adventure as "The Ellis Island Boys."
