Yes, I remember seeing the 1973 Dillinger some years ago on TV. (In fact, it might have been on the old AMC, back when that channel was actually for people interested in movies.) A remarkable film, from that brief period of artistic revival in the American film biz (1967-77 roughly) when Hollywood regularly made films for grownups. In addition to Johnson, Warren Oates is also pretty amazing. Such a feeling of reality, of lived life, to his portrayal.

The first one that came to my mind. There sure are a lot more of this category than I thought.

Actually, I parted with that set some years ago and grew to semi-regret it.... I actually semi-like it myself; So, do you have anything to semi-trade for it? Um.......I'll get back to you.

Did you try right-clicking that bad boy?

When it comes to music industry stupidity, there is truly nothing new under the sun. They've been pulling essentially the same dumb stunts over and over for many decades.

Actually, some episodes of The Next Generation are not bad at all. Today, watching Undeclared. A classic. I'll take that under advisement. That Undeclared is a classic? I assure you it is.

I couldn't read past the "take a run at Rosa Parks" part. The guy sounds like a complete idiot.

I saw this at a bookstore recently. Quite amazing just as an object.

Kind of like listening to politicians for the philosophical depth...

If they don't post, how can we "feel" or know anything about them? (I'm feeling something right now, but I think it's related to having eaten too much pesto earlier...)

No kidding?

Seems to me that a lot of the parts of that music showed up in the C&W of the 90s. Quiet as it's kept... So maybe they destroyed Country too! Perhaps they destroyed themselves, too: "She said---I know what it's like to be dead..."

Fine book! I'm almost entirely ignorant of the wider story of the Russian politics of the time, but I'm enjoying the simplicity of the prose. I've only dabbled in Russian literature (Dostoyevsky, Gogol and some Tolstoy) but I find it speaks to me somehow. All bleak and cold and filled with injustice - don't know what that says about me! I've read some tremendous novels that came out of Stalinist oppression: First Circle, also by Solzhenitsyn, Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon and Victor Serge's The Case of Comrade Tulayev. Darkness At Noon is a great one. Though it's been ages, admittedly, since I read it, the book left a lasting impression.

I've heard good things about this.

Turns out I was wrong about him retiring from acting a long time ago. According to the IMDB he appeared on an episode of The West Wing in 2000.

Happy Belated Birthday!

I must agree. So is the Weston.

I don't think I've ever heard Marlena Shaw.

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

I remember being surprised when he appeared in Boomerang from 1947, but I shouldn't have been because he also appeared in Kiss of Death from around the same time.

But wouldn't I have to be vewy, vewy quiet?

Oh yes, there's something ridiculously heart-wrenching about that theme, which plays in well with the ever-questing nature of Caine's life in the series.

I watched the show pretty regularly and I don't remember that either. Of course, I didn't know Cannonball OR Feliciano from a hole in the ground back then.

I know; I really hate that. And most of them do, sooner or later.
