If BK doesn't care for page 7, could he care less for page 6?

In The Wrong Man, Henry Fonda and Vera Miles knock on a door answered by an impossibly young Bonnie Franklin and Tuesday Weld. Strange.

Have decided to watch Dial M for Murder next. My player doesn’t do 3D. So it will have to be 2D.

Are there home systems that do 3D?

Yes, Freddie, there are. And the disc was released with both versions.

The murder scene in Dial M is perfect.

I realize what kept me from loving The Wrong Man this time around. There’s no humor or even much softness in it. It’s hard. It needs to be. And that Hitchcockian sense of artifice is missing. It’s not a drawback, given the hard hitting nature of the script, its truth-based approach and the nervous breakdown of Vera Miles’s character.

Yes, there are.  My TV is capable but I don't have a 3D player or the special glasses that are needed.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

The religious nature of the film is also profound.

Watched episode one of Palm Royale tonight (Apple+). Alison Janney is wonderful in it. Carol Burnett did not have any lines so far.
