What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
China Seas with Gable, Harlow, Beery, and Andy Hardy's dad. Robert Benchley had a small part, but his non sequitur dialogue is hilarious. Rosalind Russell is the polar opposite of Harlow's and they both have a history with Gable, captain of China steamer. The dialogue is pure 1930s, snappy, full...- Wally_Hood

favorite director of all time?
Due to an oversight, I have missed this thread, but I could not express myself and my tastes better than this list. Thank you , Dr. Strange. For those who are only aware of Kurosawa as a director of samurai period films, he has several "contemporary" (that is, post war settings) classics, i.e...- Wally_Hood

Autumnal Thoughts........
Autumn? It's been crazy in the 90's here in southern California (it's October, f'cryin'outloud). It's short sleeves all week long, and then it's still miserable hot and sticky. I used to live in Lake Tahoe (last millennium) and we had seasons then...- Wally_Hood

Jambalaya from scratch. Then Mrs. Hood's sort of pudding, sort of mousse pumpkin dessert, with home made whipped cream courtesy the KitchenAid, oh man oh man oh man.- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
At our monthly movie night get-together it was Another Thin Man, and the snappy dialogue mixed with the Powell-Loy chemistry made for lots of laughs. Then, last night my wife and I watched Sorry, Wrong Number, based on the famous radio play.- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Betrayed (1944), originally entitled When Strangers Marry, with Robert Mitchum, Kim Hunter, and Dean Jagger. Directed by none other than William Castle. A noir, but with occasional offbeat camera set-ups and some odd visual effects. Couple marries in a whirlwind, salesman husband seems to be...- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Bad Sleep Well (1960) with Toshiro Mifune, dir. Akira Kurosawa. Mifune's character takes on wide spread corruption involving corporations and the government. Dark, dark, dark. Well shot, with strong performances from the leads. At two and a half hours, it does have some slow spots. Kurosawa...- Wally_Hood

Taking Amtrak
I am watching this thread with interest~ the Missus and I want to take the train from Los Angeles up to the Seattle area to visit some relatives. I'd be willing to pay the pricey fares for the experience, but I've heard personal stories of surly and rude staff. Perhaps it was an isolated...- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Doughboys from 1930 with Buster Keaton, Sally Eilers, Cliff Edwards, and Edward Brophy. Keaton as Elmer accidentally enlists in the Army (just watch how that happens, it's kind of wacky), where he goes to France and is ordered around by Edward Brophy whose character is Sergeant Brophy. Fellow...- Wally_Hood

Against the Sun (2014) about the experience of three Navy fliers who crash land in the Pacific in 1942 and must survive in an open life raft. How they improvised with what little they had was amazing.- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A Woman's Secret (1949) with Maureen O'Hara, Melvyn Douglas, Virginia Grahame, and Bill Williams. Characters relate in several flashbacks their version of how a radio singer got shot. It's sort of a mash up of several blends of storytelling, with parts of mystery, character study, romance...- Wally_Hood

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I watched Gunga Din last week as well, on dvd. Then, a couple days later, re-watched it with the commentary on. Almost the entirety of the comments were on extensive background bios of the various actors, the drawn-out process of buying the rights and then trying to write a screenplay; very...- Wally_Hood

Last night, a lemon drop for the Missus, a martini for myself; the other night our guests had a Boston Sidecar (for him) and a lemon drop (for her & the Missus) and a Manhattan for me. There have been requests for mojitos tonight when our guests return from a wedding. Our lime tree is producing...- Wally_Hood
