    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I very much agree with your opinion of "Rio Bravo". It has it all... Heroic Sheriff - John Wayne Drunken Deputy/Former Sheriff - Dean Martin Old Coot - Walter Brennan Young Gunslinger - Ricky Nelson Gruff Wagon Master - Ward Bond Lady Gambler - Angie Dickenson Evil Smart Brother - John Russel...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I think there may be some generational issues in play here. To the best of my knowledge I have never heard of "Harry Styles".

    DAISY BB's

    I certainly do. However, was it 50 or 100 per pack? Fifty seems a bit small.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    They used to say exactly the same thing about the sixties.

    Help me understand what WWII US Army pilots wore in flight (?)

    There are several good reference books on the exact topic you are asking about - WWII uniform regulations and use. . They give things in such detail that you can find out that black ties were pre-1942 regulation and khaki ties were used after that. Sam Browne belts for officers went away...

    Help me understand what WWII US Army pilots wore in flight (?)

    One big fault of the TV series "Twelve O'clock High" was that they often didn't wear oxygen masks at bombing altitude (over 20,000ft). I think this was so you could better see the "star's" faces. (Only B-29's had pressurized cabins.)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I'll never watch "Son of Frankenstein" in the same way... The most amazing part of this whole "situation" is that the former Mrs. Douglas MacArthur (!) is directly involved. (I thought we invented the Sexual Revolution in the 1970's. Apparently there is nothing new under the sun.)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    This is an excellent but very hard to watch movie. I have seen it before, and will probably see it again, but it will take summoning some force of will to let me do that.

    You know you are getting old when:

    The cops in Nashville just started that "self-reporting" nonsense here. It applies "except in the case of DUI". How are you supposed to know that, with NO WAY in real time of checking on the other driver's blood-alcohol level?

    Actors' Reunion for Band of Brothers

    Found the video - Thanks! Now I need to find time to watch it. In the spirit of the actors in "Band of Brothers", here are a couple of our own reenACTING photos. The first D-Day photo is of our lieutenant, with the implied caption: "Guten Tag, Mein Herr. Would you care for a cigarette?" The...

    Actors' Reunion for Band of Brothers

    I would be surprised if it wasn't. Somehow that link only gives the program announcement, but not the whole program. Any alternative? I REALLY want to see the program, or as much as possible of it. Your first hand impressions and experiences would be VERY welcome.

    Actors' Reunion for Band of Brothers

    How was it?? I signed up for it, but forgot (!!). Our reenacting unit several years ago was sponsored by the 101st Airborne Museum and the 101st Airborne Division at Ft. Campbell. I had some incredibly enjoyable experiences doing that, so I REALLY wanted to see the BoB actors' reunion.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    OK - Somebody tell me what a "dice girl" is. (I could look it up but I trust the FL folks to tell a better story.) Also, get used to Flip Corkin, he's in TatP "for the duration".

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I don't remember that particular plot, but it seems like it might fit the Andy Hardy formula. One that I do remember is that Andy Hardy's "crisis" in that film was that he was set up on a date with a girl who was about a foot taller than him. However, it all worked out fine... There were...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The "Andy Hardy" series with Mickey Rooney could be considered "coming of age" movies, since he went from high-school, to college, and then into the Army. I don't think his (fictional) experiences resemble in any way the '80's movies you mentioned.

    Has everyone seen that excellent anti-Google commercial for a different search engine where this very creepy-looking guy is right over your shoulder as you type? The song/music for it is PERFECT": "Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you." (Can't remember who did that...

    And the #1 "trouble" is that she may get pregnant - whether you want that or not...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Barbara Pepper wound up "down on the farm" after all, as Mrs. Fred (Doris) Ziffel (with Arnold - a real pig - as her son.) Before she settled down with Fred, she was one of the floozies who were a part of John Garfield's entourage in "They Made Me a Criminal".

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Aside from the word mis-usage that you describe, the one word that usually applies to any product labeled "new and improved" is "worse".

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    A similar mis-usage is the annoying "one of the only" phrase that news-media types say or write far too often. one = only : (!!)
