And I said I stood corrected, dude.

I can’t ETA the OP but: ETA that Lang didn’t direct the remake.

I should have googled first!

I stand corrected! They share the same producer. The director was blacklisted, who has his own interesting backstory.

Yes it’s the remake which Fritz Lang also directed.

TCM is showing the 1951 remake. I should have clarified which is what I was describing.

To clarify I’m talking about the Lang remake in 1951 that TCM is showing. It’s very much a noir.

I can’t wait for this series! I’m a TCM hound but there are a few here that I haven’t seen.

I especially recommend Babyface which is not only labeled ‘Wanton’ by the Catholic church (hee), but being pre-Code it really does handle some subject matter that wouldn’t have been touched even 5 years later. And it’s one of…

Agreed, if you are avoiding it because it sounds ‘Unsavory’ then you are kind of reacting exactly how the Catholic church would like you to react. And it was made in 1956 and under the Production code, so really, it can only be so shocking. It’s a movie worth watching, though it’s my least favorite Tenessee Williams…

Pleasepleaseplease let Michelle Martin get her spot. I miss Tell Me More so much.

Oh I Love this comment!!

If you can successfully negotiate a limited contact relationship then that is a great compromise, with a lot less guilt. The guilt I still feel, that she ‘really isn’t that bad’ is something I deal with almost daily. Which is still better than the pain and anxiety I used to have. Best wishes to you!

I agree. It took me years but I’m finally no contact with my maternal unit. DarlingNikki, your story reminds me of the time mine quit speaking to me for about 8 months because I wouldn’t drop my work and drive 8 hours to pick her up 3 states away WITH MY HAND IN A SLING just because she didn’t want to take the train…

YES I TAKE UMBRAGE WHAT.

WUT. All About Eve is so not funny. Witty, yes. You know what’s funny and not on this list And witty? AUNTIE MAME. Jesus fuck WGA!

Best of luck!

I avoided the 405 like the plague! We used to be in Lakeridge (SE Lake WA) and we’d take SR900 out to Issaquah anytime we were headed to the other side of the mountains. We saved a good 30 minutes more often than not.

You know it’s been so many years, the folks I knew there are gone. What I would do though is drop off a portfolio if you have one and ask HR for an informational interview and see what they can do for you. A little bit of persistence might pay off with them. If the outdoors is your jam that will help you a lot, so let…

The 18 can be pretty gnarly I’m afraid.

And this might be really whackadoodle, but check into Sunset (SR900) out of Issaquah into Renton. I used to commute from Mt. Baker/Columbia City through Renton and onto 169 and through Kent. It may have not been the fastest but it was more pleasant than the 167.
