I had never heard of THE HIDDEN either - it is on COMCAST ON Demand for a few more days.

Good morning, all.

I first watched Wait Until Dark on a bright, sunny Million Dollar Movie matinee. I was scared. I was also about 8 or 9.

I am very simpatico about putting a kibosh on things.

"Wait Until Dark" delivered my first "almost peed my pants" moment.

The only other film to do that is the ending of "Carrie".

Truth: I still jump even though I know the moments are coming.

I have a couple of questions for you, BK. You've probably talked about this before, but how did you meet Muse Margaret and how long have you known each other?

We met in the late 1970s. We were running into each other at tons of commercial auditions and just instantly connected because we both hated the waiting room and many of the other actors therein. So, we struck up a friendship and then I put her in The Creature Wasn't Nice and we've been grand pals all these years.

To answer Shayne's question about the Wait Until Dark song: It may have been for Oscar consideration, but remember that Mr. Mancini always had songs in his movies back then - I can't recall any film he scored that didn't have a Mancini song in it, so it was pretty SOP for him. While it's sung over the end credits, it also is played on the radio several times in the film, as well as being used in the actual underscore at least a couple of times. The uncredited vocalist, by the way, is Sue Raney.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Have you seen a film released in 1987 titled THE HIDDEN? It was on Comcast last week. It was filmed on multiple LA locations.....not much studio work at all. It begins at a Wells Fargo Bank near 5th Street and Flower....the police work out of the Lincoln Park Police Station....there is an imported car dealership, a record store with a pink wall inside, and a diner..... The hero lives in a Craftsman type house in a neighborhood that has light poles with large glass globes on the top. I didn't watch until the end, but I am sure there are more.

Have not seen The Hidden - I'll have to check it out.

I am home from City Center. Joshie is up to his ears in "Big river" work today, so I did what I needed to accomplish and then beat it out of Dodge.

DR CHAS SMITH I do not have a PAID subscription like DR FJL, but I have submitted things to IMDB that have been used. It's a LOT of clicking.....but it's nice to have accurate info there. It does take some time...but eventually you get an email that tells you your item has been added.

That's good to know.

It feels like we only use IMDB-Pro, which is the part that costs money (I think), a few times a year.

FJL · « **Reply #42 on:** January 25, 2017, 11:40:25 AM »

All this "alternative facts" discussion these days reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek saying we learned in the second week of law school:

How to win you case:
If the facts are against you, pound on the law
If the law is against you, pound on the facts
If both are against you, pound on the table.

What a coinkydink! I actually watched and recorded that! I kept thinking that Kyle MacLachlan who played an FBI agent (sort of

) eventually went from that into "Twin Peaks," playing another FBI agent.

Here's a question: Has anyone here ever submitted any such information, additions or corrections, to the IMDb? I don't know who has the privilege of doing that. Can anyone with a login submit?

I have a free account and have made some corrections (typos and things like that), but I haven't submitted any new material.

Truth: I still jump even though I know the moments are coming.

The last time I actually jumped while watching a movie was when I saw the John Carpenter remake of "The Thing" during one of Theater Artists Olympia's movie nights last yera. There were two, count 'em, TWO moments that I literally jumped out of my chair. My friend who was sitting next to me had also jumped both times and we sort of laughed at ourselves the first time, but it didn't stop up from jumping at the second surprise.

And speaking of "Twin Peaks," I looked it up on IMDb and went to Michael Ontkean's listing and saw that just yesterday, January 24, 2016, was his 70th birthday! Who knew?

A certain moment near the end of "Deliverance" ain't too shabby, either.

She was a fine actress - comedy and drama - and I think i enjoyed her in everything I saw her in......Coast to Coast Big Mouth, Chuckles Funeral, and Rhoda's Wedding are three episodes I always watch when they are on.....

Matthew - That's great. Let's aim for the Tuesday April 18 during the day (late afternoon) rather than Wednesday morning, then , for that mini-HHW get-together.. I'll get messages out to the people who RSVP'd.

Great - I may try and see a show that night, so we'll have to try and time it so it will work!

I got my car smogged, then spent a lot of the morning reading the news, which i seem to do everyday now - as well as looking up any new acronyms that come my way. And that's all I'll say about THAT.

Saw the National Tour of Kinky Boots last night. Still a great show, but wasn't too impressed with the two leading men - or was one a woman? Anyway, the guy playing Charlie - his vocals were bad, mostly vowel placement, probably because the role might be a little high for him. The guy playing "Lola" wasn't really dynamic at all, which makes the whole show kinda ho-humm.
