No one can replace Robert Osborne. It will take us time before anyone can step into his spot and be accepted as his heir. I like Ben, but for now, he is no Osborne.
Eddie, I like enough, but he is not TCM leadership material. I am happy that he is on TCM, but think that he needs to stay in Noir Alley.
I watched these (Billy Jack) as a kid and found the “Kung Fu” aspect entertaining. I was a kid. Now, I find them to be exceptionally annoying.
Buford Hayse Pusser would knock his block off. Buford was real, not some barefoot hippie.
I laughed at how many times Marty said his father was an ugly man but his mother adored him. When he told Clara they were “dogs” but she had a pretty face I about fell out of the chair laughing.

Bullet for Joey (1955) on the MGM HD channel. Sometimes I watch a movie just to see the world as it appeared during the time period it was filmed. The shots of the big city, the theatre, the streets, the shops can all be as entertaining (if not more) as the story being told.

My wife commented while watching a 1940s movie taking place at a baseball game how the people dressed more classily than they do now, even for going to a sporting event. The mindset for how you presented yourself in public was remarkably different from the torn-jeans, sweat pants, t-shirts, and so on from now-a-days.
