    The most frightening motion pictures?

    "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is the first horror movie I ever saw and it scared the living hell out of me. I remember it very well forty-plus years later. "Wait Until Dark" with Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, and Richard Crenna was a close second. I never forgave Richard Crenna for scaring me...

    Your fashion accessory weakness???

    A lot of schools and organizations have an official tie. Many of the Masonic groups I belong to have official ties. I have a weakness for British regimental ties like those found in the link below. I'd probably never wear any of them in England for fear of insulting someone, but I really like a...

    Childhood TV kiddie shows...

    Ah, the adventures of Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith. Paul Winchell was indeed a master. He was also the voice of Tigger of Winnie the Pooh fame. Winchell was also an inventor and participated in the invention of an artificial heart.

    "Battleship"

    I think you're confused. Your class looks like Screenwriting 301 to me. Screenwriting 101 : Guy Movies: Naked girls and toilet humor Chick Flicks: Hopelessly hokey love stories

    "Battleship"

    My guess is there are a lot of good screenplays submitted and turned down by the big studios because, in general, the people who go to movies these days don't have the attention span of a gnat. You've got to blow something up, kill somebody, or have some kind of wild special effect every couple...

    What are you listening to?

    I love to listen to Perlman do anything. Maybe it's just me, but it always seems like he coaxes a sound from the violin that is distinctly different from any other violinist.

    Childhood TV kiddie shows...

    Oh, yeah. I listened to the WLS The Big 89 during most of my youth although I was pretty young when Biondi was in his prime. I was more of a Larry Lujack guy. Of course, that was when I wasn't listening to Vince and Lou doing the Cubs games on WGN. I listened to my share of WOWO too. When I went...

    Childhood TV kiddie shows...

    I watched all of those as well. When the gods were pleased and the stars were in their proper alignment so that the antenna on our house in north central Indiana could pick up WGN Channel 9 out of Chicago, I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaz4guv__GQ

    Warner Brothers : "Tales from the Gangster Squad"

    Harvey Keitel played Mickey Cohen in the movie Bugsy that starred Warren Beatty as Bugsy Seigel. It was a pretty lousy movie, but Keitel was magnificent. He was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor for his role. Keitel is way too old for the part now. Neither Penn nor Gandolfini...

    What are you listening to?

    In the middle and late sixties when I was watching, everything was good, clean, wholesome fun. Well, I would have much preferred seeing The Beatles or The Dave Clark Five at that point in my life. Ironically enough, The Beatles did come to the Indiana State Fair in 1964. I've met several...

    What are you listening to?

    I had to watch the Lawrence Welk Show every Saturday night of my life until I was probably fifteen or so and old enough to be out with friends on Saturday nights. I was positively certain at the time that all of those years of watching that show was going to scar me for life. Even then, I kind...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I hope you put some jack stands under the car before you crawled underneath it. I've personally known two people who were killed because jacks gave out on the vehicles they were working on and I've read of many other instances of that same thing. No one should ever count on a jack as the sole...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    This 1958 Olds is exactly like the one we had when I was a little boy. 1958 may not exactly be considered Golden Age as the term is used on this forum, but it remains my favorite car. We later traded it in for a 1962 Olds Starfire exactly like this one.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Those are great photos from up in the Boundary Waters area. I've passed through that part of the country several dozen times on the way to and from the Canadian fishing camp I go to every year. I always thought it would be great fun to canoe the Boundary Waters sometime after the first frost in...
