All I can say to that is, sorry. SOOOORRYYYYY!!!!

Yup. Just ask my brother Darryl. Or my other brother Darryl.

"DON'T LOOK, ETHEL! But it was too late; she'd done been in-censed."

"Hooked On Classics' MADE the aerobics craze.

I heard "A Fifth Of Beethoven" played by a symphony orchestra live, as part of a program geared toward elementary school children. It was actually freaking AWESOME, and not just for watching the kids' reactions to it.

I got "Hooked On Classics" as a present for my 16th birthday (yes, I got it because I'd asked for it). My dad heard it and said "Well this is going to be around for a long time!" He wasn't being sarcastic. Something about what he said hit me wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it for a long time. Years later,

I thought it was dismal as well, pretty much. Maybe between "innocuous" and "dismal".

You might want to take another look at rogerebert.com. Most of the reviews have been by others for quite awhile - Richard Roeper wrote the one of Evil Dead, at least this one

The movie really benefited immeasurably from being shot on the "James Bond Soundstage", which was the biggest soundstage ever built. The sets (the street with the "El" train in particular) way Oz uses the space is extraodinary.

I love "Doesn't anybody wanna get out of Skid ROOOOOOOOOWW!"

"Somewhere That's Green" is a hearbreaker, I have to say.

"Hoo-ee, I just screwed the pooch!"

I remember his video pick of the week one week in the late 1980s (I can't remember if they each had their own pick, I think so) was the video release of "Love Me Or Leave Me", the Ruth Etting biopic from the 50s starring Doris Day. I was most impressed by his saying something like "This is the kind of movie that

THeir program was the first place I ever learned about pan-and-scan, and about film aspect ratios, and about film preservation.

I really love this movie. Interestingly, the book has a rabid cult following, who/which pretty much want to refuse to admit this movie even was made.

She was a…revelation in this movie. Holy cow, what a hotsie totsie!

Oh well, if we could have anything we WANTED…Mr Tumnus was so perfect and lovely. But he was a faun, not a satyr (the book makes the distinction, but not the movie - fauns were good, satyrs were bad).

OH, I don't know about that. I always found him appealing on The Odd Couple, though infuriating, and he was in INCREDIBLE physical shape.

Theodore Geisel didn't like 5000 Fingers that much, I recall reading, though I don't really know why. He was very reluctant after that to have his works adapted for television, and there never was another feature.

I was in high school when the show was on. I didn't really like it all that much, because Sidney was such a sad-sack, but I remember saying it was on that night and my friend said "Oh, the show with that faggot?" Ouch. It was a not-needed reminder that the world could be an unfriendly place.
