I follow an online group elsewhere which is devoted to discussion of 20th century country music, where I found out that it’s HILARIOUS that a big 80's hit includes the lyrics “There’s somebody here that I can’t see” - because the singer is BLIND! Not just a little ironic in passing, maybe even worth a chuckle if you’d…

I should be clear, I loved it. I actually wouldn’t have enjoyed certain things from “Shazam!” as much without having read MiracleMan first - in particular the Marvel family, and that sinister caterpillar at the end. I walked out of “Shazam!” thinking ‘Why do I know so much about Captain Marvel?”

Ha, that’s kind of funny that her costume was constricting. It seems like they ALWAYS are - whether it was Burton’s Batman not being able to sit down in the suit in the first movie, or Lynda Carter not being able to lift her arms up too high because her breasts would come out (!!!). It’s just kind of weird for action…

I stumbled across bound copies of Neil Gaiman’s “MiracleMan” at the library - wow. Alternate takes on knock-offs, it reads like - actually, more than anything it reminded me of “Blade Runner”, or “A.I.”, with its heavily-filtered, multiply-removed narrative structure. Like “Sandman”, of course, but very much its own…

And he looks and sounds just like Michelle Pfeiffer! Let's not downplay that!

I had forgotten about his Michelle Pfeiffer moment. That was incredible, actually - it was Michelle Pfeiffer, right there. 

You tell me.

One hundred percent with you - some of my favorite movies overall, like “All That Heaven Allows”, “Pillow Talk” and “Lola Montes” are from that era, and those technical aspects are a major part of the reason. They can still be stinkers, of course - I saw “An Affair To Remember” in the theatre a few years ago, just to…

I have rabbit ears too. I very very rarely access tv in general, though I mostly use it to Chromecast the occasional movie rental, or Pandora/YouTube for music. I had access to Netflix for a few months, and hardly ever even checked it out. I’d rather just see what’s on, maybe I’ll watch it, maybe not. I don’t know -…

Ah, explains why you’ve seen it twenty times. Maybe twenty-one will be the charm, and you’ll find out what really happens to Martin Balsam!

I waffled on seeing Ben-Hur in the theater last Sunday. I really wanted to see the chariot race on the big screen, but just couldn’t motivate myself to spend four hours of a beautiful Sunday afternoon in a movie theater. I still feel a twinge of regret, though.

Dear God, “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” is a funny movie. Wall-to-wall funny. When he’s about to give his speech and a stray breeze blows his notes away - even the way the papers just flutter up into the sky, and how his eyes follow them up but he doesn’t react otherwise - I thought I would literally die, I laughed so…

I look forward to the “On Golden Pond” entry, seriously. I didn’t know it was the biggest money-maker of the year, though I shouldn’t be surprised - as I recall, quotes from it entered the popular lexicon for a few years, and big movie stars draw crowds, and with three of the all-time biggest stars in the leads, AND…

I was going to get all hot and bothered about this “Nobody wants to read about old movies anyway” rationale, then I realized that it makes sense in the context of “biggest money-makers of each year”. It just stands to reason that the most popular movies often aren’t going to be the biggest hits, and that the biggest…

I’ve seen a few films multiple times out of curiosity as to when their “greatness” will be revealed to me (“Citizen Kane”, “Casablanca”, “Star Wars”), and accept that they just don’t work for me like they do for most people - but you’ve seen “Psycho” about 20 times and you still think Martin Balsam delivers the…

Haven’t seen the movie, have you?

I finally saw The Apartment a year or so ago, and simply could not believe how perfect it was - funny, moving, devastating. I was a little apprehensive that it would be smutty and dated, especially since a friend was with me who had stated many times that she did not like “old movies”. When the reveal comes of who it…
