They vary - the earlier ones weren’t very explicit, some being serious literature like “The Price of Salt” (Carol) or “We Too Are Drifting” packaged as racy pulp, and as the decades went by, say Fifties and Sixties (like Nautipuss, which doesn’t even pretend to be serious) they get more porny. So they range from…

However, sometimes they do have a modest selection of things that can be trotted out when a visitor just wants to see “cool stuff”, without having to display the gems of the collection.

I actually prefer to sit by the window. That way if it’s bumpy I can look outside and see that the plane is in fact stable relative to the ground. I was sitting in the middle section on a flight that went through a thunderstorm, and it was so turbulent that I was too terrified to shriek.

I have taken to reading books in a foreign language as a way to focus my attention. I also prefer to break up the journey into 2 shorter flights instead of 1 longer one; since I survived the first flight I’m more relaxed on the second one. This might not be very feasible if you’re going to Europe from the US, though,…

And sing!

Wasn’t she married to someone big?

Perhaps to prove your point, I would be unable to distinguish any of the actresses in a line-up.

I come here via the computer, but frequently the photos will load and not the text.

He was gorgeous! He was ethnic!

The first thing you do is shriek, and then you run into your room and shut the door. The next morning I found it when I went to get a shirt hanging on the doorknob. After another shriek and a fruitless call to the brother, I opened the window, threw a coat over the shirts, and tossed the whole thing out the window. The…

Bacon. Sausage, though delicious, gives me indigestion.

In the original “Cape Fear” (1962) Robert Mitchum’s character is going to be charged with “lewd vagrancy”. I hadn’t hit puberty yet and my mother wouldn’t tell me what it meant. And then at the climax she made us walk out of the theater!

Also fun fact: Taylor was the first American actress to appear nude (except for the edge of a towel) onscreen.

He was fantastic. It was my first introduction to the series and I immediately rushed to read the other books (only 4 at that point).

Fun fact: throughout the movie you can see her tracheotomy scar. That would never happen today, they would cover it up with a necklace.

I saw this in the theatre back in 1964. Then a year or so ago I read a couple of biographies of Cleopatra, so I re-watched the movie, on videotape. If you watch this - on a large screen, please!- do yourself a favor and split the viewing into two nights. My video viewing got interrupted anyway by a bat flying around…

Throughout the 3 sequels I was DYING for an adult Star Wars. Okay, it couldn’t be R-rated. Another problem with trying to make a movie for the next generation of 9-year-olds.

The best thing about “Jason Bourne” was Matt Damon’s regimen for getting back into shape at the age of 45: no bread, no desserts, “not much fruit, nothing fun,” no wine or beer, work out 4 hours a day.

Every sequel to Star Wars beginning with The Empire Strikes Back. With each film the female roles became skimpier and wimpier. It took 40 years to get Rey? Finally, some momentum.

Hong Kong is still a city. The Irish wouldn’t freak out if it had been “a Belfast McDonald’s”.
