    Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

    Really surprised to find nothing but promos here. Did no one actually see the film and want to discuss it?

    Fun IMDB: The Site We Left Behind....

    So, much as I hate Jeff Bezos and did my best to boycott Amazon following the wanton destruction of the IMDb boards, I didn't manage a full boycott, but did cut way back. So now Donald Trump hates Jeff Bezos and it seems that though no one would listen to thousands of us, millions listen to...

    Review Beauty and the Beast (2017)

    I have also seen all three and participated in a stage version. FYI the stage version contains eight songs the animated version does not, and I had to search some of them online to listen to and rehearse. I am sorry to say I have no pictures of my own of our stage version, but here is a...

    Review Ray Bradbury

    Over the course of over 40 years (I started young) I have made it a goal to read Ray Bradbury's every published word (so far I have managed to read most), as well as taking in many film and audio adaptations. When I graduated college and my dad asked me what I would like as a present, I said a...

    Controversial Trump

    Difficult and nigh impossible as it is to believe at this point, Trump still has his defenders, at least one of whom is still among my Facebook friends. I posted the following on his latest little defense of Trump and attack blaming the Democrats as sore losers and portraying them as the only...

    Fun Your Favourite Films?

    Is the 1998 Director's Cut of Close Encounters of the Third Kind overwhelmingly better than the 1977 theatrical release, which I remember as quite possibly the hugest letdown of any film I have ever seen, proportional to the amount of anticipation? I vividly remember the buildup, the heartfelt...

    Fun Rare and Obscure Movies and Shows You Want to See

    I want the original film of Anne of Green Gables from 1919, believed to have been lost. I also want the missing footage from Buster Keaton's 1928 The Cameraman.

    Fun Rare and Obscure Movies and Shows You Want to See

    Wow, amazing! Come to think of it, I did know the director's name, that his son wrote the experimental novel House of Leaves, and that the director himself had a fascinating survival story. Obviously I found this online so that must have been where I found Moosie's name, but that other...

    As far as controversial, look up the Whitman Massacre of 1847, though the M-word is now frowned upon. Do you think you could seriously for sure gather more information on the episode? Perhaps someone in California would be willing to travel to the museum and view it?

    Fun Rare and Obscure Movies and Shows You Want to See

    Thanks for your interest. The TV program, and a much better-known theatrical movie, Seven Alone, which I have on DVD, were both based on a false version of a true story which occurred in my region and was a subject of fascination for me since being part of our third grade history unit. Despite...

    In the Land of the Setting Sun (1919), a lost silent historical shot around Portland, Oregon. A script and stills exist which would cost a mint to have copied from the Library of Congress. Maybe nowadays with digital scanning not so bad as in past times. If ANY footage turns up, I would be...

    Review A Star is Born (2018)

    Why did this have to be made in the first place, let alone remade twice? What can possibly be accomplished by another version?

    Fun IMDB: The Site We Left Behind....

    Skepticism engendered over the demise of the Internet Movie Database Message Boards has given rise to entertaining conspiracy theories. No one bought the lame and bogus excuse that troll posts were to blame. Sure, let the situation run rampant for years and then decide to pull the plug on...
