magnificent 7 on NOW if you haven't seen it in a jillion years like me

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Monday, 27 December 2010 21:05 (fifteen years ago)

ok, sitting down to watch A Connecticut Yankee, tempering my expectations that it can't be as great as "Will Rogers stars in Mark Twain adaptation."

Speaking of which, did you know that Morrissey's favorite holiday movie is Christmas In Connecticut? At least it was growing up in Manchester

The Decline of British Cat Power (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 02:27 (fifteen years ago)

Remember the Night > Christmas in CT

Will Rogers to King Arthur: "The sun will never set on your empire, but you'll always make bad coffee."

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 02:59 (fifteen years ago)

Which comment prompted the Archers to put a coffee drinking scene in every movie

The Decline of British Cat Power (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 03:33 (fifteen years ago)

At least that's what The Small Back Room commentator said

The Decline of British Cat Power (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 03:40 (fifteen years ago)

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:43 (fifteen years ago)

well it's Roach on Tuesdays, but

January 11 is a 24-hour salute to Laurel and Hardy, with 40 shorts (16 of which are TCM premieres) and three feature films.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 11 January 2011 15:33 (fifteen years ago)

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:30 (fifteen years ago)

finally saw Libeled Lady on Sunday; didn't expect a funny screwball comedy from MGM.

Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:31 (fifteen years ago)

what about the Thin Man?

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:34 (fifteen years ago)

or y'know, lotsa things w/ Wm Powell.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:34 (fifteen years ago)

anyway, pretty sure I never saw Riffraff w/ Spencer Tracy at 10:45 so I'm gonna try to stay awake through that.

love those come-ons in Red-Headed Woman: "Beee-ull!" "Chorr-lie!"

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:38 (fifteen years ago)

Don't associate Powell with a studio, or The Thin Man series for that matter; they're almost an independent phenomenon.

Anyway, those Thin Man movies are overrated as laff machines; only cared for the first two.

Rich Lolwry (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:44 (fifteen years ago)

I just meant the first one -- think I only saw the second once

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 02:46 (fifteen years ago)
