Well, you've read the notes, you have had your fill of ersatz scallions, and now it is time for you to post until the ersatz cows come home.

From the X rated topic the other day, I forgot to mention my favorite X rated movie title ever: Hannah Does Her Sisters.

And as I was driving down Santa Monica Blvd. on Tuesday, I passed by the TomKat movie theater (formerly a Pussycat, now a gay movie house) - first off, I was shocked that there are any adult movie houses left, given the Internet and DVD - who knew? And would you like to know the name of the film playing? A Rim With A View.

At least our five GUESTS aren't WUSSBURGERS.

FILIBUSTER, baby, FILIBUSTER.

And now - Dino at the piano.

Welcome seven GUESTS. We're talkin' about something or other. Oh, yes, silent movies. I like The General, City Lights, The Circus, The Kid, Seven Chances, The Lodger, Metropolis, and the Josef von Sternberg silents.

I thought "Silent Movie" was very funny when I first saw it in a cinema but it did not work for me on second viewing.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #7 on:** February 23, 2006, 12:32:24 AM »

Hard to go past "The Kid" and "The General" as classics of Silent Cinema.

Good morning, all! My day is centered around the apartment since I have my Macintosh Man arriving at 10 to tune up the eMac. I will finish the second third of the Dance Medley for the Chorus, and hopefully take a trip to Toyland after the computer's back to its sparkling self. There may be a bit of banking to be done as well.

TOD: Phantom of the Opera
The Student Prince
Sunrise
Nosferatu

For those of you able to listen (if you haven't already), Donald's show this week is lots of fun. He interviews Michael Kostroff, an actor from the national tour of Producers and Les Miz. He (Kostroff) wrote a book about his time on the road. It's a good listen.

There's a lot of controversy over how to thicken a good New Orleans gumbo. Some people will tell you "You bettah use the okra, fool!" while others will reply "No, no, you gotta use the file, buster!"

(File, pronounced "fee-lay." It's made from powdered sassafras leaves.)

Gasp, I don't know that I've ever seen a silent movie.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2006, 06:56:40 AM »

Thank you Mr BK . Believe it or not, I am patient about some things. No more filibuster.

Since there are no students in school this week, I am instead doing a home visit. Which means I didn't have to get up this morning and go into work, I'm just heading downtown in the afternoon.

TOD:

Broken Blossoms
Phantom Of The Opera

Lots of others I'm not thinking of. I like anything with Lon Chaney--I wish they would find a print of London After Midnight.

Good! I think you're going to like that picture! (a Love that Bob reference).

There was a Mary Pickford movie that I saw a few years back that I really enjoyed, but don't recall the name. Might have been DADDY LONG LEGS.

Good morning!

Gray morning with showers earlier but looks to be clearing some as the morning progresses. SUpposed to be in upper 50s today.

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2006, 07:40:00 AM »

Favorite silents:

THE CIRCUS, CITY LIGHTS, and THE GOLD RUSH from Chaplin

SHERLOCK, JR., THE GENERAL, and STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. from Keaton.

BEN-HUR

SUNRISE

WAY DOWN EAST

WINGS (but I haven't seen it in a long time and might not feel the same now)

SHOW PEOPLE

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** February 23, 2006, 07:42:49 AM »

I have to say that the Garbo silents I find very resistable. I watched LOVE and THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL and THE TEMPTRESS agog because I couldn't believe how uninvolving and static they were. I much prefer her in some of her sound films.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** February 23, 2006, 07:44:48 AM »

I'm not sure I've ever seen a DOuglas Fairbanks silent picture all the way through. I've seen parts of THE THREE MUSKETEERS, THE BLACK PIRATE, THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD, ROBIN HOOD, but I don't think I've ever seen any of them all the way through. That's something I must put on my to-see list.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2006, 07:47:50 AM »

I read yesterday that CBS' sister network, UPN, might pick up the remaining episodes of LOVE MONKEY to show during this season. (I had previously read CBS might burn them off ths summer).

If UPN runs them, and they do decently in the ratings there, LOVE MONKEY might get picked up for the new CW network for the fall. It's a small, slight chance, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
