When Insults Had Class These insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words. ^ I found these posted on facebook. Quite interesting, since I'm learning about most of these people in history ATM! "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." - Winston Churchill "I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with...

This 1965 theatrical release comedy has long been on my list of movies I've always wanted to see, if only for the various cameo appearances by celebs of the day. Every once in awhile, TCM runs DON'T WORRY, WE'LL THINK OF A TITLE and for once I managed to catch it! The film is a mindless but painless gagfest essentially starring the DICK VAN DYKE SHOW supporting cast. Produced, co-written by and starring...

Regular readers of this blog will know that in the league of blogosphere rudeness mine just doesn't rate. It is not in my nature to slam and slag people off. I don't find it therapeutic and attention seeking isn't a priority either. However I would not like to give the impression that I never speak ill of people. I do. But I confine my comments to people I know well and trust - making them, that is:-)...

The summer of 1986 is memorable to me as a time of intense highs, and sad, sorry lows. The highs: Hands Across America, the reopening of the refurbished Statue of Liberty, Greg LeMond winning the Tour de France, and the videos for Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer." Intel introduced the 386 processor. Gas was 89 cents a gallon, and Pee-Wee's Playhouse...

The Strange World of Planet X ( The Cosmic Monster , Cosmic Monsters ) is a 1957 British science fiction film starring Forrest Tucker . Sigh... Yet another voice-over narration gets us started. "Man goes forward into the unknown, but how does the unknown react?" A theremin is used to provide some of the music. I wasn't expecting much from this one, but I ended up liking it. I liked Forrest...
