watched over the last two nights:  MGM When The Lion Roared. almost 6 hrs of great MGM clips (lots of unreleased on DVD, rare outta print stuff) interspersed with ridiculous setpieces where Patrick Stewart walked about up and down staircases wearing more costumes than Stevie Nicks in the 80's. Taht part was overdone and super cheesy... but so was a lot of MGM fare, I guess, back in tha day.

A lot of the stories from old timers like Jackie Cooper are rose coloured, but some are bitter and dark.

The saddest part of the whole story tho is the ignoble end of turning the studio into a stupid Hotel chain. Kerkorkian makes LB Mayer look like Mother Theresa.

I'm down with flu, so have been watching all episodes of "North & South". It's a great tv series.  :cool:

The Blue and the Grey wasn't that bad either.

"The Devil's Arithmetic"

It's just like the "Wizard of Oz", except instead of Dorothy being transported to Oz, Hannah is transported to Poland in 1941, and instead of being taken to the Castle where she defeats the Wicked Witch, she's taken to a concentration camp where she's gassed. Fun for the whole family. 

7 Canisters of Zyklon B out of 10.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Your review had me sputtering. Good show.

It's actually a pretty good movie to educate kids about the Holocaust with.

Twilight.

Religious Mormons shouldn't be allowed to write fiction.  For being so absurdly Pro-Chastity, the movie rapes, mutilates and leaves the Vampire genre bleeding in a gutter.

The pilot of the original Battlestar Galactica (i.e. Ep. 1-3).

Pure goodness.

I found it amusing that in the third part on Carillon a major plot point is to defeat Sire Uri's ambition to settle on this planet and destroy all weapons and ships as show of goodwill towards the Cylons.

Shit yeah.  That's the best BSG ever, that I watched a thousand times over as a kid  It is the font from which flows the certainty that Starbuck is a man and that the new series is an abomination.

I saw the movie version a thousand times as kid, similar the mashup called "Mission Galactica", made from the "Living Legend" episodes and "Fire in Space". Commander Cain was the coolest, toughest guy ever. A tv station later re-ran the series a couple times to my delight.

Though I still prefer Buck Rogers.

I just see on IMDB that Ridley Scott is making a Robin Hood movie with Russel Crowe. If it's Gladiator in Sherwood I'll be pleased.

watched "Silent Light" the other day, by Carlos Reygadas. Not as good as his earlier film "Japon"... but still interesting despite it's slow moving story. set in Mexico, some Mennonites have family issues as Dad has fallen for a different homely woman from the one he's married to. Hilarity ensues (NOT) . Reygadas films will either bore you to tears or in my case stir something deep with his over long establishing shots and quirky camera.

I think he takes the "Dogme" thing more seriously than any Dane ever has.

7.33333 big nosed Mexican women speaking low german, wearing kerchiefs and really boring lingerie outta 10

Last Night watched "Dollars" starring the 70's specific combo of Hawn/Beatty, and directed by Richard Brooks (In Cold Blood, Lord Jim, etc) a cool little heist film with both Beatty, and Hawn working inside jobs so to speak. Ending seems a bit tacked on, but it's a lot of fun, and how many films are set in Hamburg?

fun little gem.
