I remember when death of major characters o TV were so rare that when they did happen, it was a real shock rather than just waiting for somebody's number to come up. On a show like TWD, it seems that many were just waiting for Glenn to get it after so many other deaths. And it could very well have happened as so…

Auntie Barbara? It's Jackie… Jack-key! I'm fine… Fine!… I'm fine!… I have some bad news… Glenn is not with us anymore… I said Glenn has passed away… He's passed away!… Glenn is gone!… Glenn's dead!… He's dead!… NO, *DEAD!*… *DEAD!*… He's fine! He sends his love! Bye!

Not that I was um, around in the 70s or anything.

But nothing about the TV remake of "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"? I would think Russell would have had a lot to say about that.

The franchise lost me after the second one which I thought was just okay. But I did see it opening night at a 10PM showing with a 34th Street audience (almost as good as Times Square, so there's that.) But every movie just kept ending the same, and there were more cheap jump scares than actual scares and the third…

Considering what Lovecraft named his cat, I'm not surprised he had a dim view of Native Americans either.

"We got rules here, mister, RULES!"

Oh, and the felt banners.

That's exactly what I meant. Thank you! Like I said, Catholics did the folk masses in the 70s (and some still do) but that was about as edgy as they got.

Having been raised as a Catholic, both "white church" and "black church" felt weird. Though there was that whole "Folk Mass" movement in the 70s.

Ya know, I wanted to cry when I saw you mentioned "As the World Turns." That was the storyline that got me to start watching and who can forget the day the secret came out? And yes, that's William Fichtner as Lily's father. And Julianne Moore pops up later in the episode. http://youtu.be/uT-eAqB9CHc

I definitely will. I own a copy but haven;t seen it yet. Thank you!

"The Woman of the Snows" is great. The set design, the almost painfully handsome Tatsuya Nakadai… A version of this story was adapted into one of the segments in the "Tales from the Darkside" movie in 1990. (It's the Rae Dawn Chong segment.) The whole movie, however, is gorgeous.

"The Munsters" are a family I wouldn't mind hanging out with. "The Addams Family" would scare the sh*t out of me. The Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons were so great, such as the one when they are all gathered on the top of the house about to pour boiling oil on Christmas Carolers. (A scene which was used for the…

So … is his father going to teach him that Vishnu, Krishna, Shiva, Durga, Ganesha et al are the greatest super team of them all? Them Christians ain't gonna like that!

My Shakespeare professor in college in the early 90s said he preferred Mel Gibson's "Hamlet" to Olivier's. He felt Olivier was too brooding, whereas Gibson was perfect for a young (or not so young) Prince who acts rashly without much forethought. I agree that it's quite a good film and Helena Bonham Carter's Ophelia…

Ooooo. So much like the gritty Brooklyn realism of "2 Broke Girls." I hope they place them in an hour block together.

Divine was at his absolute best in "Female Trouble." From that funky 70s theme song he sings to Dawn Davenport over the years, it's the best.

Nobody ever seems to point out that Richard Lawson, who played one of the paranormal investigators in the first film (the guy who DIDN'T rip his face off) , somehow beat the "curse" by surviving a deadly plane crash at LaGuardia in 1992. But then again, his daughter, Bianca, played the first replacement slayer for…

I believe that was already done on "Knots Landing" with Karen after Sid died. And she fired Gary's ass.
