Never pick up a cat by his tail...:eek: As Mark Twain said, paraphrased, "That will teach you something that you will learn no other way"...:cautious:

If I asked for "crisps" here in the States, no one would know what I wanted. OTOH if I asked for potato chips in England I might get deep fried potatoes ("French fries")...:)

😄 Uh..... and older.

Definitely #2. My back side still hurts!

When I first moved to Hollywood in '68, Johnny Weissmuller had a nice nutrition store and natural foods lunch counter right on Hollywood Blvd. I ate there a lot, but never saw Johnny. He was such a legend.

Heh, heh. Welk was as corny as they come, which he rode all the way to a fortune. But at least the guy would make fun of himself, e.g. here on the "Jack Benny Show".

Nice to see a a fresh thread, Jazzy1. Yes, I shelled peas and shucked corn with my grandma. And when I got older I grew my own and shelled them (which is easy to do). Fresh grown peas are delicious!!

I really enjoyed the "Amos 'n' Andy" TV show. The long running radio show was voiced by white actors, but when written for TV, black actors were cast, with rare appearances by white actors.

Black Angel (1946) This “A” noir has a couple of things in common with the following year’s Blind Spot (1947) reviewed earlier. Black Angel, like Blind Spot has a rather “locked room” key element, and, as in the later film, the lovely Constance Dowling is stunning as the character who both...

I'm not an animation fan, but I did see a trailer for Z-2, and it looked very well done. Might have to check it out....

Ah geez, that must have just happened, since it played the other night. It'll eventually show up on other sites, or if you have IPTV or can get torrents. Maybe OldAge66 will share a link.

Blind Spot (1947) This “B” noir picture from Columbia has an intriguing plot, but it’s lightweight direction by Robert Gordon, lack of “A” actors, and 73 minute runtime, all were designed for the picture to be shown on a double feature bill. The screenplay was by Martin Goldsmith who was also...
