. That poster is puzzling me now though. Is that a shot of Bogart from the movie or from an earlier movie of his?

You know, I was thinking the same thing when I posted that yesterday. To me it looks more like Bogart in High Sierra.

I got the chance to see this on the big screen earlier today. Not sure if I've seen it in a theater before. Great film. Certainly don't make them like they used to.

5/5.

I’m pretty sure that film critic Leonard Maltin called Honkytonk Man the type of film that gives “change of pace” a bad name.

I like the film because again, Clint was playing a vulnerable character. He wasn’t afraid to do these change of pace films.

Stewart turned it down because he didn’t want to play a grandfather.

Has to be more to it than that?

Netflix.

These two films were a sheer delight. Great wholesome family entertainment. Nicole Kidman is way over the top as the baddie but wait till you see Hugh Grant as the baddie in part 2. Especially the end credits sequence.

A rare occasion that the sequel is just as good if not better than the original.

5/5.

Same here. I gave up after about 3 episodes.

I wish I had too. I kept thinking it must get better. It didn't.

Yes! I've tried the UK version and couldn't get into it.

I watched this for the first time a couple of months ago and was astounded how unfunny it was. In the 12 episodes I never laughed once. A couple of amusing moments but I’ve read reviews claiming it’s one of the funniest series ever!!

I’ve never seen the US version.

Sounds like you guys had fun. Just reading through the thread on my lunch break at work and picturing the scenes as you discussed them.

Also, what a great time capsule that video is for the late 1960's.

Wonder what the old guy with the flowers in his glasses was on. Far out man!

So, all going to plan, I’m going to see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood on Monday. Just saw the run time of 161 minutes!! Going in with little expectations so we’ll see.

As a kid it was always M*A*S*H but then Seinfeld came along and that is my all time favorite show.

I hardly watch much TV now and from what I see advertised (The Bachelor, Housewives of such and such, Survivor etc) I don't think I'm missing anything.

I’d love to join but I’m just so damn busy. I don’t want to say yes and we set a day and at the last minute can’t make it. That’s what always irritated me years ago when people would say they’d be in it and and an hour before showtime, they’d post something has come up and it was just myself, KC and a couple of others if we were lucky.

This may have been mentioned years ago but I don't remember ever hearing about it until I saw a facebook post this week where it said, that at the 2 minute and 58 seconds mark of Hey Jude, Paul McCartney says, "[email protected]#king Hell". Of course it has been toned down but if you crank up the stereo and right at that moment you can hear it.

^ That was a great game. Yankees won, 7-1. Five Yankees hit home runs, including Brett Gardner, the only guy in the starting lineup who's still with the Yankees. (He had an RBI double to bring in the only run in today's 1-0 Yankee win over the Toronto Blue Jays.)

A great game and a great day. I remember that it poured with rain the night before and I was worried if it continued the game would be a washout but we woke up the next morning to clear blue skies before heading to the Library, the ballgame and finally dinner at a Greek restaurant.

Good memories.

There was a movie made a few years back about those penguins.

And the final piece of the puzzle.

First the pencil, then the programme and now the ticket stub.
