After hearing all the praise about father the flame I decided to give it a rent on Amazon.
I know I enjoy pipes but that made dark Phoenix look amazing in comparison.
4/10

I saw Elton John during his Ice on Fire tour in 1986. He put on a great show. I like all of his music, early and late. I watched My Man Godfrey (1936), starring a pipe smoking William Powell, last night. Great movie, although Carole Lombard's performance was a bit over the top. In her defence, her character is written that dizzy in the novel.

"The Ox Bow Incident". I have enjoyed this film since I first saw it in a class in junior high. I think I have seen it a half dozen times maybe. I love all the character development in this one. It's a slow one, but truly great. It's funny that it was financially unsuccessful and is now considered a cinema classic. I give it a 9/10.

The condensed TV version on Alfred Hitchcock Presents was also very good.

Just finished watching "The Ballad of Lefty Brown". Not a bad movie, but weak in a lot of ways. The plot was not very believable and the ending was awkward. Still, it had it's moments. I give it a 5.5/10.

I give it a 5.5/10. I have to agree with you on this. It was not a bad movie, but I was still overall disappointed in it. It was stilted and disjointed.
Now THAT is how a western is supposed to be made.

We watched Once Upon a Time in the West last week and we thought it was the best western besides Unforgiven. Almost more art than movie, though.

Im an unsophisticated neanderthal when it comes to emojis I see, it was a code that didn't show up as an emoji when I looked at it on the computer. I see it now. Sorry, I am supposed to be a computer expert, but I don't really do social media other than the forums.

"The Ox Bow Incident" is famous chiefly because of Henry Fonda's hat. He always wore cool hats in his Westerns.

Just sitting down to watch him in "The Wrong Man". Another Fonda gem. Some chubby English guy Directed the picture. Vera Miles was also excellent.

My wife was on the edge of her seat saying they can't do that, in spite of the fact that the same thing happened to her. Brought her back some bad feelings. I hope that she's over it in the morning.

Henry Fonda getting some luv here in the past few threads. Spence Tracy is often cited as our past leading film actor, but I've always felt they ran head to head.

There is a scene where Mr Joad lights his pipe with the top of an oil lamp. I much admit, that made me cringe. lol

I was about 19 the first time and identified immediately with Tom Joad. Years later, Pa Joad started making more sense. So, I took after him, "Let's give her a whirl" was one of my favorite expressions. Lately, I feel like Grandpa Joad. "This is my dirt. It ain't no good, but it's mine".

Once upon a time in Hollywood. Quentin Tarantino. The movie has some good scenes with Brad Pitt but I thought Dicaprio really turned in a poor performance. I really think Matt Damon should have been cast in his place. A kind of what if movie based around the Manson murders and spotlighting many films made by other stars at the time period. The sets are good lots of 70s stuff. I give it 7/10 wait for the DVD.

Last good movie I saw was Green Book, made me ashamed and felt let down by my upbringing somewhat, trying to be a better person.

For folks of our generation, the problems represented in that movie were very much a part of our upbringing. You, clearly, had the intelligence and soul to grasp the situation and became a better person. So many of us are stuck in 1963 attitudes. For me,it is a lifelong process of overcoming what we were taught growing up.

I was raised differently in Houston. We had segregated water fountains, bathrooms, busses and restaurants, but my mom hated it and impressed that attitude on me. In my teens saw things in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama that made me ashamed to be white. We always got along with our black neighbors but most of our white friends weren't that flexible. My nephew who's retired from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Dept. was the most racist person I ever knew, which is funny because he is darker than most black people. Many charges of excessive use of force. During Katrina he saw something on the bridge in New Orleans that turned his world upside down and he immediately retired after that. He said something about not testifying against his fellow officers. We have come a very long way, not that you'd know it from the news m
