IMO internet phones have hastened the demise of traditional social contact and interaction. They long ago became the new smoking.-- people constantly fiddling with them and checking them. It's sad. Look at families in restaurants. No one is talking to one another. They're all staring down...

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure I remember Lawrence from appearance (s) on the Dragnet TV show. He strikes me as the kind of 1950s actor who they'd use.

Hmmm. They didn't seem to go all out with that trailer...😄

One sees that a little too often these days. Watched the first season of The Rig (2023 - Amazon Prime). It would made a pretty good 2 hour film, but they dragged it out to 6 episodes. It's a "supernatural thriller", which I hadn't realized, so I almost turned it off during the first episode...

I didn't watch the movie. The theatrical poster of them on that extremely high tower gave me the willies...

That's very true in many cases. But in actual fact many docs don't bother to advise patients to lose weight, exercise, etc., because patients simply won't do it. Most are looking for a magic pill. For the most part there's very little incentive in modern medical practice for prescribing...

Janice was absolutely galvanizing-- IMO the best white blues singer of all time. We were on the same bill as she at the Atlantic City Pop Festival in 1968. That's a whole interesting story in itself. But all the acts socialized after their sets in the jockey's quarters, where there was a live...

Jenni, unfortunately (and sadly) the patient is no longer the client. In most cases today the "client" is in actual fact the insurance company or the government (Medicare, Medicaid, V.A., etc.). So hospitals and most private doctors do whatever those entities dictate, without regard as to what...

I agree. An enjoyable movie. It's a good old fashioned entertaining monster movie. It holds one’s attention from beginning to end. And what’s surprising is that virtually everyone who sees the picture knows what to expect, and eagerly expects it, despite their being 36 previous Godzilla films...

IMO it's mostly a good film. I normally don’t enjoy pictures that are designed to tug at one’s heart strings, but this story about a poor, disabled folk artist painter was very absorbing.It was chiefly Sally Hawkins’ film, and no one plays waifs, sorrowful or pitiable women better than she...

trying out spoilers That's it..

Started Your Friends & Neighbors (2026) , season 2 last night. It's on Netflix, and after the first 2 eps it shows single eps weekly on Monday nights. If you liked season 1, it's more of the same with a few new wrinkles, e.g. a supporting role for James Marsden as a very rich nutty tycoon...

What a story! I think if a seal were chasing me I'd race outta that water as quick as I could. I suppose as an experienced diver, one gets used to various sea creatures.

I too recall ushers in nice theaters in the 1950s, but they've gone the way of the Dodo bird. I've heard that movie theaters make more money from their concession stands than from their ticket prices. That would explain why the snacks are so expensive-- like at an airport...:oops: And we'd...

Interesting. To my taste, I much preferred the metal tins. Well, at least they didn't go to plastic.
