    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I agree and it's a darn good movie. I enjoyed it. It was fun to see Klemperer in a dramatic role. I've seen him in them before (he is outstandingly dislikable in "Judgement at Nuremberg"), but his Colonel Klink persona is the first one of his that I knew, so I'm always a bit surprised by his...

    Escape from East Berlin from 1959 with Don Murray, Christine Kaufmann. Werner Klemperer and Ingrid van Bergen Escape from East Berlin's minimal political commentary might appear surprising, but when a movie is predicated on a country having built a wall to keep its people in and, then...

    I enjoy the Japanese culture, too, but I'm sure she's way ahead of me. I'm also sure she's read a lot of Junichiro Tanizaki's books, like "The Makioka Sisters." On the movie side, I'd recommend hunting out almost anything by writer/director Yasujiro Ozu, but I'd bet she knows that too. Please...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I felt a rumble in our apartment, pretty much like it feels when you're standing on a subway and an express train blast through. We didn't have any swaying or stuff falling over, but it was very noticeable.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Never thought of Joe becoming an army cook, but I guess in the army, despite how the army says it officially, it's less about having an aptitude for cooking and more about not having an aptitude for soldiering. I'm for anything that gets Joe home safely.

    If I Had a Million from 1932 If I Had a Million is an early talkie curio of a movie comprising several short episodes related to each other by one overarching narrative. It's most valuable to us today for its incredible number of stars as each episode has one or several new well-known actors...

    I really enjoyed reading your well-written observations. I made some similar comments several years back when last I watched it. Comments here: #26,651

    ⇧ I saw it years ago on cable, closer to when it came out, and remember a similar reaction. Ronan's performance, as always, is impressive, but the story felt force and incomplete (from memory).

    I do the same and have found myself quite into the season as if it was happening live as I have no idea how well the Dodgers did in any of these particular years.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Cops arresting criminals holding up an illegal dice game is so 1940s, especially since it was one of the dice players who called the cops. There's a "meta" joke in there somewhere. Burma: "You short-circuited a full color dream I was working on." I think Burma just overshared with us. Note...

    Sleep, My Love from 1948 with Claudette Colbert, Robert Cummings, Don Ameche, (sizzling) Hazel Brooks, George Coulouris and Raymond Burr If Gaslight and Dial M for Murder were mashed up, you'd have something like Sleep, My Love. It has Gaslight's husband trying to make his wife think she's...

    "I only borrowed the money and it wasn't in exchange for, well, for what you're thinking. If 'that' happened anyway, it was incidental to the exchange of money. That's my story and I'm sticking to it." - Senga

    I love the book and have read it three or four times (it's a fast read). I also love the movie and have seen it at least three or four times. Knowing you as I do from this forum, I think you will greatly enjoy both the book and film, but as you plan, reading the book first is the way to go.

    Remains of the Day from 1992 with Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, James Fox and Christopher Reeve It is hard to turn an outstanding book into an outstanding movie, but Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's screenplay of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Remains of the Day, with James Ivory's deliberate directing...

    Then the "Lizzie" maternal lineage hair seems to start off straight in childhood and curl into adulthood. Or do all the adult "Lizzies" get "permanent waves?"

    Having just read though their first meeting in the Clover Press edition, I'd agree with Lizzie. There was something there, but even Burma knew it would be wrong and Terry was too young to be the instigator. Also, Burma really wanted to roll around in the hay with Pat and she knew banging Terry...
