Star Trek gag reel! They sure bounce and dance (Kirk/Sulu!) and curse a lot. I also love that we get a better look at some of the extras. Needed more Simon Pegg, though.

Christina Hendricks got married! And of course she looks gorgeous.

Oooo, yay, we're getting another season of TCM's The Essentials next year, with Robert Osbourne & Alec Baldwin ( Read more... )

Well, that rain came and went.

Yesterday: I tried making myself a Shirley Temple. It wasn't bad, but I think I need to tweak the proportions a bit. Watched In the Heat of the Night...again. I love good crime dramas, and that is one of the very best. Florida International University vs. Miami (Fl) college football brawl? Thugs, the lot of them. I saw ( Read more... )

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a brilliant evening of Harold Lloyd films! Often called the King of Daredevil Comedy, Lloyd was best known for the stunt where he dangles from a clock tower in "Safety Last" which is airing on TCM right now (well, for the West Coast, anyway). He was always overshadowed by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, ( Read more... )

Oooo....Oooo
Tip-toe...tip-toe...tip-toe...
BOO!

Happy Halloween too all you ghosties and goulies. I was watching Topsy-Turvy on Friday morning and it got me thinking. The ladies of the time when Gilbert and Sullivan were writing such awesome operettas wore such lovely fashions. So, on a whim, I decided that I was going to dress up for Halloween ( ( Read more... )

More than once, I have noticed fans of Labyrinth quoting particular lines from the film. I'm speaking of the "you remind me of the babe..." exchange. It is quite clever, isn't it? But what you may not know, dear Labyrinth fans, is that this exchange was not written by the screenwriters for Labyrinth! It hails from 1947 to be exact, from the classic ( Read more... )

I'm gutted. Jerry Goldsmith, my favorite film and TV composer, has died at the age of 75. For those of you who don't know who Jerry Goldsmith was, where have you been? He wrote the themes for Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, and Perry Mason among many others. He also composed the scores to some of my all-time favorite films: Patton, Lilies of the ( Read more... )

Nora: I read you were shot five times in the tabloids.

Nick: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.

Ah, the lovely couple, sleuth Nick Charles and his wife, Nora Charles. Yes indeed, The Thin Man is on! If you haven't seen this classic clever whodunnit, you're missing out. ;-) My uncle, oddly enough, resembles William Powell...

Just finished watching The Sting! I was lucky enough to catch it from the beginning. I simply adore Kid Twist. So dapper. The music that is played the night before the big sting is one of my favorite songs, the slow piano tune 'Solace', and I loved it so much, I bought the soundtrack. There are a lot of other great rags as well. And the poker game ( Read more... )

My mother was shopping somewhere or another today and saw a delightful shirt. It said "If I throw this stick, will you go away?"

My brother, on the other hand, had a very bad joke to share. I don't know where he got this, but it's just wrong. Here it is: Who is the opposite of Christopher Reeve?.......Christopher Walken. ::shakes head::

I am ( Read more... )
