Of course it all depends of your definition of all star movie.

There is
Grand Hotel
The Poseidon Adventure
The Towering Inferno
Murder On the Orient Express
and all the other Agatha Christie adaptations that came after it
The Ten Commandments
The High and the Mighty
Airport (and its sequels)

I did have an e-mail from Tomovoz just the other day.  I can't speak for him, but I don't believe anything has happened at this site to drive him away.  Well, except for Slingblade, and of course he could single-handedly close the whole board down.  ;)  I believe that Tom is still grieving the loss of his beloved Fosca.  I think there are a few other personal things going on, but I expect that he is just taking one of those time-outs that we all need from time to time.

My first choice is SHIP OF FOOLS.  It is a film that I never tire of watching.  Wonderful performances from everyone involved.  ** I also recommend MusicGuy's CD with The Theme from Ship of Fools.  I forget the title of the CD at the moment, and I am too tired to go looking for it right now; but Kerry can tell you, or you can look it up.

I like DEATH ON THE NILE. Ustinov, Mia Farrow, Niven, Lansbury,Maggie Smith and Bette Davis...I assume it was made because of the huge success, 4 years earler, of MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, but I prefer DEATH to the ORIENT...The other, not exactly all star, is L>A>Confidential;Even when the character has no lines, like the actor cast as gangster Mickey Cohen,you've  seen him in other films and he and everyone down to the extras are 'spot on'.

TOD: I love "Ship of Fools," "Grand Hotel,"  "Dinner at Eight."   Even "Towering Inferno" had some good performances.  The original "Airport"  (the one  with Helen Hayes) was good, too.

Thanks to Messrs.  Barnum and Earles, I got to see three episodes of Miss Storm saying that very thing last night.  Did Gale Storm have any ownership in the show by then?  It sure seems like it, although I know Hal Roach (along with many others) never gave up a percentage of anything if they didn't have to!

Personally, Ms. Patti, I don't think BK read your question correctly.  You specifically asked "most highly recommend," which presupposes that, even with a list of films that are all superlatives, some may be even more superlative than others.  If you had asked him "recommend" without the "most highly", then his answer of "All of them" would have made sense.

DR Jennifer,

As to why MEDIUM won't be on for four weeks. Well, next week is the State of the Union Presidential address which will spill into the 10 o'clock hour.

From what I understand, the next couple of weeks will feature extended episodes of AMERICAN GLADIATORS and DEAL OR NO DEAL.

New MEDIUM episodes will return for part of February sweeps.

It was a pleasure watching HAWAII FIVE-O last week. The last episode in the set was the last episode of the season, but no different from any other last episode: no cliffhangers, no artificial drama. It concluded a two part episode, and that was that.

I LONG for those old days. The cliffhanger stuff is, in most cases, so unnecessary to get me to tune in again next season.

Well DR KERRY - according to a cover article in the June 6-12, 1959 TV GUIDE:

"The changes included the sale of her series (The Gale Storm Show) to Independent Television Corporation last October by Hal Roach, Jr, who discovered Gale for television seven years ago....   And recent events included her show's sudden move to rented facilities at Desilu after the home studio, Roach, became involved in a securities scandal.

"Of all these matters, Miss Storm said she felt worst about the decline of her old studio.  'All of our sets are still there on the soundstage.  I cried on my way out.'"

Miss Storm continues: "I felt a sense of frustration about the show. I would read a script and want to change so many things.  I felt that I was just 'busy Margie' again.  Everything was too broad, too strong."

"So she got the pilot film out and made EVERYBODY watch it again.  So there were changes made.  

"As a result ITC agreed to a new production procedure with the move to Desilu.  The cast spends one day around the table thrashing out script and stagng problems before rehearsals begin.  Miss Storm reports that the script budget has been increased from $2000 to $4000."

[The Gale Storm Show was cancelled at the end of it's 1960 ABC season where it had moved from CBS.]

Used to be a fairly common practice for one network to take on a cancelled show after another network let it go. Certainly the show I'm watching right now on DVD - JAG lasted three lackluster seasons on NBC before CBS took it over and made a smash hit out of it.

I'm not much of a film guy, so all the movie discussions are pretty much out of my league. The only "all star cast" movie that I can recall seeing was "Last of Sheila," which was, of course, all kinds of fun.

Sorry to hear about your back, bk... back pain is the pits, and about as curable as the cold. With the contradictory advice that I've gotten for my own ("Try heat." "Try cold." "Try resting it." "Try working it out."), it's no wonder people go nuts at the medical profession.

DR MATTH is correct it is Mr Alan Sues.  His ex-wife Phyllis Sues was one of the models in the pool with him, and they were still a musical duo in revues around town including "Fun and Games of 1959" that they were currently rehearsing.

"Before returning to the West Coast (he was born in San Francisco), Sues spent seven years in New York, two of them in 'Tea and Sympathy'.  'I played the bully,' Sues said. 'Some cats swing that way'"

Good morning, all!  I was up at 6:15 am, bathed, dressed and to the laundromat by 7.  By 7:30, I had my captain's bed and its drawers toted to the basement. After putting the laundry into the dryers around 7:40, I began taping all the cartons to be moved tomorrow to my storage space.  When I return home this afternoon, I'll continue on that project, and the two new filing cabinets I ordered yesterday should arrive this afternoon.

I've been thinking about this bed frame.

And on Mac - and some PCs actually - if you hold down the "Alt" key, then type "i", you will get the accent.  Then you type in the desired vowel.

Quote
Three Pigs story ruled ‘offensive to Muslims’

A children’s story based on the tale of the Three Little Pigs was rejected for an award after judges became concerned that it would offend Muslims.

The animated virtual book for primary school children, The Three Little Cowboy Builders, was also criticised for its potential to offend builders.

The row centred on the Bett awards, which were supported by Becta, the Government’s technology agency for schools. The judges’ remarks, reported on the education technology website Merlin John Online, included: “Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?

“The idea of taking a traditional tale and retelling a story is fine, but it should not alienate parts of the workforce. Judges would not recommend this product to the Muslim community in particular.”

And here comes the payback:

DUTCH POLITICIAN PLANS TO AIR FILM CRITICIZING THE KORAN (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325305,00.html)

Quote
A Dutch politician known for his views against Islam plans to air a film he produced that is critical of the Koran, which he likens to Adolf Hitler's hateful writings.

Parliamentarian Geert Wilders spoke to FOX News about the documentary, insisting the Muslim holy book is dangerous and should be banned.

"I believe the Koran is, indeed, 'Mein Kampf.' They are the same package," Wilders said. "I believe that our culture is far better than the retarded Islamic culture."

There have been a number of shows that have jumped networks including soaps, game shows and talkers.  Then there are some that went from network to syndication.

Another curious one would be what shows originally had their concept over seas and were developed into shows in the US or enjoyed a successful run from their home country in the US.

LOL-Just before the mystery was revealed I started to tell Keith my theory, then decided he wouldn’t want to know it.  We had a good laugh when just minutes later all was disclosed to him as well.

We too enjoyed the episode very much, that is until the very ending which we found absurd & unrealistic.  Keith said the writers must have gone on strike 10 minutes before the end of the script.

Done four pages, and shall now take a break.  Mr. Spirtas is coming later than planned - they had a power outage in his neighborhood.  So, he'll be here about one-thirty and we'll go eat and work.  When I get back, I'll finish three more pages and perhaps end the chapter I'm on.

Well, he's scheduled for a green-clothes day - that's regular registers. However, with the modern non-sexist work ethic of equal-work-for-equal-pay-unless-it's-too-tough-for-a-girl, he might be called upon if one of the regular wranglers goes AWOL.

    * Ziegfeld Follies (1946)
    * Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)
    * The Longest Day (1962)
    * The Great Escape (1963)
    * The V.I.P.s (1963)
    * The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964)
    * The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)
    * The Bible: In The Beginning (1966)
    * It's a mad mad mad mad world (1966)

    * Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)
    * Battle of Britain (1969)

    * The Towering Inferno (1974)
    * A Bridge Too Far (1977)
    * True Romance (1993)
    * Ocean's Eleven (2001)

This list followed a discussion in which other all-star films were named.

I think "Poseidon Adventure" might also join the above list.

The temps only 28° (wind chill 22°) - not too bad.

I hate it that NBC is wasting two new episodes of "Chuck" on a Thursday night when I was used to seeing it on Mondays.

I'm sick of network airdate-hopping I am.

Actually, the network is trying out the show in these timeslots to see if the show would attract a greater audience somewhere other than Monday. As it already has a season episode order (if the strike ends), why not experiment with it in other timeslots?

MUSLIM CLERIC ISSUES FATWA AGAINST BOLLYWOOD STAR FOR WAX FIGURE
 (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325292,00.html)

Quote
Bollywood star Salman Khan had a fatwa issued against him for allowing Madame Tussauds in London to make his image in wax, the Daily Mail reported.

Mufti Salim Ahmad Qasmi, a Muslim cleric in India, issued the fatwa, saying the statue is illegal according to the Sharia, which forbids depictions of all living creatures, Mohammed in particular. A mufti is a Muslim scholar who interprets the Sharia, or the religious law of Islam; a fatwa is a legal opinion or ruling handed down by an Islamic scholar.

Khan, star of more than 50 Bollywood movies, unveiled the statue himself last week and described it as an honor. (Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India.) Major celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie have also had their wax likenesses displayed at Madame Tussauds.

The Dioband Seminary which the mufti runs has already issued a fatwa against Khan for dancing at a Hindu festival last month.

The Indian actor says his "bad boy" image is to blame as fellow Muslim and even bigger star Shah Rukh Khan is also in the wax museum and hasn't been singled out.

Shrimp scampi, steamed vegetables and herbed rice.


(And for those "inclined" toward such nitpickiness, Wikipedia says:  The word "scampi" is often construed as that style of preparation, not an ingredient, hence the seemingly redundant "shrimp scampi" or the seemingly impossible "chicken scampi".  The "style" referred to is the item being cooked in butter and garlic).

It was a pleasure watching HAWAII FIVE-O last week. The last episode in the set was the last episode of the season, but no different from any other last episode: no cliffhangers, no artificial drama. It concluded a two part episode, and that was that.

I LONG for those old days. The cliffhanger stuff is, in most cases, so unnecessary to get me to tune in again next season.

When Mr. Rogers ended his show, he did the same thing...just a regular episode, nothing special, no acknowledgement of it being the last show...mainly since it's in perpetual repeats and little kids might not understand a "last episode" but then see regular episode the next day.

It had a lot of soap stars in it

Some of the people in it included Jackie Zeman, Sean Young, Dabny Coleman, Ted McGinley, Crystal Benard, Michael, McKean. Ed Begley Jr and many stars of the time from many of the soaps especially General Hospital

Another show that had some stellar power was Soapdish but not on the same level as some of hte ones mentioned today

Yes, indeed - great news that DR Kerry's ankle seems finally to be getting back to normal!  :D
I'm sure that Sugar appreciates it, too.

Bless you, sweet man.   And yes, Sugar is pleased.  
DR's Laura and Sandra and the rest of the family appreciate it too.
Even though she can be VERY mean (you should hear the awful things she shouts at drivers and jaywalkers!   :o ), DRLaura and her family really took care of me through this whole ordeal.   I have to laugh that the first time in my entire life that I live alone is the time I break my ankle and cannot get around and need to rely on others to drive over to help me.  I'm a lucky man.  And all thanks to HHW (and Robert Goulet).  :D

SUPERNATURAL had a very tense rerun with a rogue hunter turned into a vampire after Sam. Some really scary moments, and a very sad end to the "daddy" vampire whose family had all been taken from him.

And I completed my evening watching the 10 p.m. CHUCK. Again, a very satisfying way to end the first half of their season. I really loved this episode.

I'll have the 8 p.m. episode to watch at some point this weekend.

I forgot to mention that I did finish PROJECT RUNWAY. I was absolutely delighted with the designer who was sent packing. Has never been one of my favorites, and in the last couple of weeks, I had really grown to despise this person.

I didn't agree with the winner, however. I thought two other designs were more interesting.

Post by: Jennifer on January 24, 2008, 08:26:46 PM
Actually, the network is trying out the show in these timeslots to see if the show would attract a greater audience somewhere other than Monday. As it already has a season episode order (if the strike ends), why not experiment with it in other timeslots?

I agree with DR RonP. I don't like when the switch days.

I'm all for getting the show (CHUCK) more viewers.

But i suspect that most of its regular viewers would have no clue that it was on today. I know i would not have known except that i happened to see it marked in my tv. But that was just by accident.

RE: this week's MEDIUM

SPOILERS

From Ron:LOL-Just before the mystery was revealed I started to tell Keith my theory, then decided he wouldn’t want to know it.  We had a good laugh when just minutes later all was disclosed to him as well.

We too enjoyed the episode very much, that is until the very ending which we found absurd & unrealistic.  Keith said the writers must have gone on strike 10 minutes before the end of the script.



I'm trying to remember this week's episode so i can remember the end.

I know it was the one with joe trying to get a job. And his "boss" had a wife who had allison help find their daughter.

I'm trying to figure out which part of the ending you didn't like. Are you talking about the boss selling the company and joe not getting the job?  If so i hated that part too!

Well, if you watched ANY NBC shows this week, there were promos for it. In fact, they were special promos featuring cast members that were quite clever and droll. If I wasn't already a fan, these promos would have made me check out the show.

I can't believe that regular viewers/fans wouldn't have been going out of their way to check to see when the show would turn up again. I certainly was interested to see when ALL of my favorites would be back on.

"Ugly Betty" - Good. Fun.

"Celebrity Apprentice" - Good.  Not so fun.  But it does look like it will get more interesting over the next couple of weeks.

"Make Me A Supermodel" - About to watch via DVR.

*But from the previews, DR FJL, it did like a bit softcore-porn-ish.  I shall report back later.

I watched all of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN without a break for any reason.  I'm still amazed at Heath Ledger's maturity.  This is a sublime performance fill with love, commitment, nuance as well as joy and sorrow.  I promised myself I wouldn't tear up, but, when Jack said, " I wish I knew how to quit you. . ." I lost it.  Completely.  For the rest of the film.   :'(
