Oh, that? I've been using it to make hot cocoa.

Keep it, I found a new one on Amazon.

The Departed

 

[mikepara]

Last I saw at the Cinema The Great Gatsby. I must have been unique in the Cinema. sad to say I didn't actually know the story of TGG before I saw it. Last Film watched was The Spy Who Came Out Of The Cold with Richard Burton. Superb, I love spy stories.

Dial 1119 (1950, MGM), with Marshall Thompson, Virginia Field, Andrea King, Sam Levene, Leon Ames, and William Conrad (as "Chuckles"). Story about an emotionally-void, convicted murderer who escapes from his mental hospital, kills again, and then takes a small group of people hostage in a bar. Thompson's character blames the Army for making him a killer, but his motivation is actually something else indeed, something which is not revealed until the last 10 minutes by psychiatrist Levene. Good performances all around, especially by Thompson.

Mclintock. That fireplace shovel has its uses.

Hotel Transylvania. Makes me miss the old hand done animation! The only reason I watched it was, it was raining out side and I could not spray paint some motorcycle parts I needed.

You could have used the tub. That's where we kept all our automotive parts.

The Avengers. Best Marvel Comics movie so far I think, but I haven't seen the latest Iron Man.

Based on conversations I've had, both online and in-person, I'd say most people (myself included) consider The Avengers to be the better of the two.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Tucker, A Man and His Dream. A true tragedy that he wasn't allowed to build cars. Things haven't changed in Washington since then.

Watched Zero Dark Thirty today. Superb film, don't know how much was reality and how much was Hollywood, but really enjoyed it.

I did that just last month. I am still cleaning up over spray all over the bath room, and all the white calking is now light yellow.

Watched Zero Dark Thirty today. Superb film, don't know how much was reality and how much was Hollywood, but really enjoyed it.

Michael Morell, Acting Director of the C.I.A., issued a statement that said, "Zero Dark Thirty is a dramatization, not a realistic portrayal of the facts."

 

[Late to the Party]

June Bride

 

[AmateisGal]

Hunger Games with my daughter. Enjoyed it, though the concept is horrific.

 

[Touchofevil]

In the Valley of Elah.
Entertaining.
Sad.

And still a very well done movie which was probably closer to reality than they would want to admit.

WB, where are you getting this string of noirs? Netflix? Red Box? You're posting some stuff of which I have never heard...

Did I already post that I watched Pygmalion on Friday? 1938, dir. Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard, introducing Wendy Hiller as Eliza. AA for best screenplay. Hard for (my) American ears to follow some of the high-speed English conversations. It was fun picking up bits and pieces of story or dialogue that turned into song for the musical.

Wally, they're almost all exclusively on YouTube, believe it or not. Just watched Outside the Wall (1950) with Richard Basehart as a recently released prisoner who has no experience with women, and who wants to go straight, but gets involved with a nurse who has a dollar sign for a heart. I think you'd like it; I'll give it a fuller review on the Lounge later on.
