Don't forget the king of 'em all - Gilligan's Island.

Hannah and Her Sisters actually came out a year before the Ullman show.  Kavner credits that movie with revitalizing her career.

Ronnie Lane doesn't get near enough attention as a songwriter; he's one of the best of that era, and unfortunately he was sorta pushed aside when Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined the band.  His first solo album Anymore for Anymore is brilliant as well, but difficult to find.

That's the one I was waiting for!  WERST SUPERCUT EVER!

1. A Prayer for Owen Meany
2. A Widow for One Year
3. World According To Garp
4. Hotel New Hampshire
5. Until I Find You

I actually really like the idea behind V/H/S.  Finding a bunch of old videotapes and watching them is a much better idea (or at least takes a few more brain cells) than…"that was the F film…now here comes the G film…oh, this one's H, it's gonna blow your mind."

The comparison is really only because it's another anthology movie opening this week; I know that they're apples and oranges as cinema.

Yeah, the length of the films is part of it.  The whole idea of "A is for…" just seems so easy and trite, especially comparing it to the idea behind "The We and the I" (for one example).  I suppose the ABC's could've been utilized better; one director would've helped a bit I'm sure.

J is for Jesus what a stupid idea for an anthology film.

Cave the Bad Seeds sounds almost awesome.

Probably could've asked how his sister was doing, but some questions are better left unasked.

Lots of folks have things in their heads, like funny wigs and things.  Sometimes those folks make pictures where their funny things get shown.  Those folks usually are not very good at making pictures, but they sure did make one, that's for sure!

I could never tell if Eric Roberts was the John Carradine of his generation or the David Carradine of his generation.  I still can't tell, but I'm leaning towards John (a guy who just enjoys acting in really odd, low budget movies, and who occasionally gets asked to be really awesome in something legit).  It's tough

It sure is an ever changing world in which we live in.

Whoopee was one of my favorite films as a kid; yeah, they still get shown on TCM, but hopefully he'll get a DVD treatment soon.

Loved that show.  Their Vegas episode sticks out in my mind (Johnny Blue Jeans did something like "Vegas on 75 cents" that had me rolling).

Dick Clark is smiling somewhere in the great beyond just knowing that someone cares about Remo Williams.

Exactly!  I was watching a documentary on the golden age of Broadway, and there was a section on this actress named Laurette Taylor, who originally played Amanda in Glass Menagerie.  Everyone interviewed said it was the greatest performance they had ever seen from one of the greatest actresses ever, and yet the only

Yes, "Carnival of Light."  I've heard every terrible bootlegged 78th take of "Strawberry Fields" but never "Carnival of Light."  I'm still surprised it hasn't been passed under the table in exchange for a sack of million-dollar bills.

You know what's unattainable:  all live theater.  So go out and see a show today.*
