Love old films and music. Classic (and not so classic).
pinned post!
Given the state of things, I have to take joy from the little things. Therefore, I'm happy to see that my favorite 007 score (and my favorite Bond film) is being released in an expanded form. .. it goes without saying that composer John Barry is a legend.

How could I miss Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan? But it seems that I did (these last-minute end of year spreadsheets can be such a pain 😞) Anyway, here's hoping that everyone has a safe, heathy and happy New Year.

Now it hits me. 💡 That was Wilfrid Brambell (The "clean old man") on the tram. According to wiki,

Sci-fi will also note that Robert Beatty shows up on

Hot take: The general premise behind
#CreationOfTheHumanoids
- despite the grade Z budget - is actually fairly good. I'm actually surprised that no one has remade this (but then again it does have "Blade Runner" vibes).

Well, I'll be darn the 1939 version of
#WutheringHeights
has both "Sr. James Bond" (David Niven /Casino Royale 1967) AND "Alexander Waverly" (Leo G. Carroll/The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). PS. Cathy is getting on my nerves.

Maybe it's me, but Cathy is giving me "Nell Forbes" vibes (from the noir "Don't Bother to Knock") "You're a gal with a lot of variations."

* yeah, I know it should be the other way around (1952 vs. 1939)

Subjective. But having just lost what family she had, Sylvia's reaction to these events is understandable and adds to her character.

Me too. It was nice of Spielberg BTW to have cameos for Gene Barry and Ann Robinson at the end of the 2005 remake. I enjoy both films. Somewhat different vibes, but both are enjoyable and well-made IMO.
