  1. I enjoyed his Batman back in the day. Some did not.
  2. Asphault Jungle. 1950. Purportedly the first time that the criminals were the main characters instead of the cops. I was very surprised how most of the score was quiet. No violins or intensity noise during the crime. The middle part was a bit dull but the plan and the escape were great. Surprised to see that Marilyn Monroe had such acting skills. The ending narration from the police commissioner must have inspired Dragnet.
  3. I am watching even though I don't like it. It captures the spirit of the girl power fad of the early 90s, which was shallow back then too.
  4. A cauldron is another word for melting pot. An appropriate remake would be the black lives matter salad bowl.
  5. Local college is performing it as a musical. I feel so old having seen it in the theater.
  6. Any suspicious criticisms of the NCAA coming out of the Big2? So far I heard the UCLA coach complaining about the NCAA booked flights on Allegiant. That is pretty good cover for anyone who has had to fly on Allergant.
  7. Now they can have that rematch.
  8. Iowa is at the top of their brand, the scrappy lunch pail team that wins with 3 stars. It has been evidenced. It was like 15 years ago but Iowa was on top of a chart of the ratio of wins:recruiting. Somehow the Hawks run this ancient offense that found their way to the conf title game when the BUG was split by geography. I haven't encountered many overly proud and enthusiastic Hawkeyes. Tennessee is #3 in SEC titles and only recently was passed by UGA at #2. I have no idea where Iowa is/was in the little 8.
  9. IIRC Stephen King's complaint about the film was that his book was about a sympathetic author who gets driven mad, while Jack Nicholson was pretty much there from the start.
  10. They meet up with the folks from Trading Places. Easy game, they go out for a tour on Andy's boat; a three hour tour.
  11. Iowa has had something like two head coaches in 50 years? And all without a pedo scandal.
  12. This is the single platoon era where he had to play defense to be on the offense!?
  13. For BGSU, Penn St won by a td, A&M by 6. https://www.toledoblade.com/sports/bgsu/2024/09/21/bgsu-football-suffers-another-tough-setback-ranked-opponent-texas-am/stories/20240921120
  14. We need a separate thread for movies we started on tv and will circle back to. until then, Meet Jon Doe, 1941 Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, dir Frank Capra. Need to budget two+ hours. Very bright and light hearted for the pseudo-dark premise. Neat how bright and cheery Hollywood was back then, and Barb was once young.
  15. So will Tim Horton's be in competition?
  16. That's why they need daily visits of home care and health care. Somewhat surprising that Hackman did not need to see at least a nurse every few days.
  17. No but he has his hand at all times clutching the remote.
  18. So his wife was a single point of failure. Not secure.
  19. Well I missed the mummy subplot but they would not have missed a bruise on the head.
  20. Yes it's a community experience that you don't get in your cave. Blockbuster was a little bit if you went at like 7:30pm on a Friday.
  21. I think the first responders would have noticed that last part.
  22. Garahm Buckell Colonel Fisk was the robot pimp in the Paper Chase!?
  23. What are theaters charging per barf bag?
  24. I go to the theater if the film is important to me, so I don't have to hear my family's non-stop talk. Subtitles are mandatory in our living room. My tube tv still works.
