| What's your favorite Bogart movie? - Methuselah on 5/2/13 at 4:58 pm
I'm kind of torn between [i]Casablanca[/i] and[i] The African Queen.[/i]
[i]Casablanca[/i] may be the more classically "great" movie- well made, well structured, well acted. With a simple but strong plot and memorable scenes. It had some great iconic lines that stood he test of time. It had ...

| BBT question - how would Sheldon's life have been if Leonard had not moved in? - Methuselah on 5/1/13 at 1:02 pm
I know this is not exactly a Big Bang Theory friendly board, but what the heck.
When Leonard responded to the roomate add, Sheldon had just had a roomate leave while spray-painting "die Sheldon" on the wall. The neighbor across the hall was this huge cross dressing guy who called Sheldon "the cr...

| Unforgiven - some brief sacrilegious thoughts - Methuselah on 4/30/13 at 7:07 am
Caught a bit of this last night and something struck me. I thought Clint Eastwood was doing some pretty wooden acting. I'm particularly thinking about the part where he is telling Ned how much he's changed and how his wife straightened him out.
I can appreciate that he was supposed to be a laco...

Rat Pack (Mostly singers though - not sure how many movies they together).
Brat Pack.
Arnold, Sly and that group.
The Oceans crew.
Adam Sandler and his group.
Boggie, Bacall, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. (This is my choice).
Another group.

| Bedknobs and Broomsticks - an underrated Disney flick? - Methuselah on 4/4/13 at 8:36 am
I thought I'd throw this one out for discussion. It's overshadowed by Mary Poppins. And Roger Rabbit gets a lot more love when discussing live action/cartoon combinations.
But I really liked this movie as a youngster and I've watched it a couple times as an adult and it holds up pretty good.

*prompted by the Spielberg thread which got me to looking at bios on different directors*
If the stories can be believed, Speilberg, Jackson and Burton all were given or used 8mm cameras as pretty young children. I'm sure there are more that are not coming to mind now. Tarrintino I think spent ...

So far the discussions about fixes I've seen involve mostly things like manual changes to files or springing for software t...

| What is your earliest "critical watching" recollections? - Methuselah on 4/2/13 at 3:38 pm
For me, I can remember watching Sunday movies with some of my cousins at one or the other of our houses. The fare was usually something like old Godzilla or similar movies. We we're probably not much more than 10 but we loved snarking on the movies - "oh, yeah, THAT would really happen" :lol:...

| What do you consider the "golden age" for television - Methuselah on 3/20/13 at 6:00 am
if we break it down by decades, I'd have to say for me it's probably the 2000-2010 decade. The advent of original series on cable (basic and premium) seemed to set off a boom in creativeness. You had things like The Sopranos and BSG on cable, the networks responded somewhat with things like Lost....

I remember being pretty disappointed in it when it came out. It seemed kind of slow and plodding to me. I don't even think I stayed awake through the whole thing. But I'm wondering if a re-watch now would yield the same results. Tastes change with age.
Anybody seen it fairly recently? If s...

Sometimes I forget how much I like this movie. Pretty quotable too.
Not sure how much I like the story notes though. Some of them are interesting but a lot of them are just distracting.

I know it'll likely never happen. It's pretty few and far between that these companies can ever team up for comics. A chance for a movies team up would be even more remote with all the studio complications.
But, if by some miracle it were to happen, what characters would you pick? And do you h...

Looks like the 2nd hour of The Bible on History will air directly against The Walking Dead on AMC.
As someone without a DVR (possibly one of the last few still without?) I think I have to stick with Walking Dead. Might catch the first hour of The Bible though.

Don't get me wrong. I love a good griping fest as much as the next guy. But, as an experiment, how long do you think the OT can go without moaning about anything and everthing under the sun.
