,This is so beautiful

This is a beautiful episode with a heart warming conclusion.

@mgs3re4dmc3 At the risk of sounding like a sanctimonious old fart remember that the greatest tool of the cartoonist is imagination. All the very best my young friend and I hope I'm around to see your work on the screen somewhere,

The sadness of time. I happened to be in San Francisco when Huey Newton was killed and my first reaction at the truncated news bulletins was if some big, white cop shot Newton I'm getting the hell out of this town before the riots start.Upshot? Nobody cared. :Product of the 60s, I was both reli...

@SelenaQuintanillaxo I'm sorry (again) but you're right. A person, any person, deserves to have their name spelled correctly. What else do we have except out name? All the best.

@RGBRYN That's not a stupid question if you haven''t read Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) who almost whimsically set out to prove that the legend of Beowulf didn't have to be boring. He combined that Nordic myth with the actual memoires of Ib Fadlan an Arab who travelled am...

@AG4572 I'm a creaking fossil these days but I agree completely. I imagine John Fogerty would too,. All the best.

Dammit, I'm going to cry and I'm too old to cry.

I'm an old man and have read Kafka, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Bradbury, ad infinitum but this chapter of this story remains indelibly printed with kindness and love on my mind. Bless you Mr. Graham and RIP your legacy is intact, Now if only someone could adapt that most beautiful title The Piper At...

@gdawsey Well, in one way you're fortunate. You've had your courage tested and passed, most men live in doubt. You have no enemy here, just another civilian admirer.Again, all the best..

@GodConsciousness Thank you for a whole new train of thought. It never occured to me that the Powers were loioking on and measuring the British Empire by the outcome of the Zulu wars. Just my own stupidity, I guess, but probably I've been so wrapped up in the tactics I overlooked the strategy.

Odd, except for a few pillow words I don't speak German but I find the German version of this song more compelling than the English version.Maybe it's just because Nena becomes even more exotic and beautiful in an unknown tongue and when she breaks the fourth wall seems to look right inside a man.

@AncientHistoryBuff What a nice thing to remind us all especially in an emotionally charged movie like Casablanca. Viedt must have felt uncomfortable in a Nazi uniform but he trooped on and contributed a great deal to this classic.

@tanjudge I don't judge all of Australia by a few experiences. My son in law and my beautiful grandchildren are born in Australia, proud Australian citizens, which has kept me coming back for 15 years.I've had some of the best times of my life in Australia. So much more shattering when my food is...

This doc makes no mention of the hopeless People's Crusade, Peter the Hermit or Walter the Penniless. No big deal, I guess, but it seems odd.

And yet another international masterpiece denied to the general public by copyright pimps.

Oh, my, if only someone in the ranks of the copyright pimps would have the courage to realize they are behaving like Ebeneezer Scrooge as they try to wring the last nickel out of international treasures like Casablanca, This film has returned its costs time and time again and made its profit. Let...

Can't understand anyone trashing the lyrics in this classic because the opening stanzas are up there with Tom Waits and although it's a cliche "and we pray this night never ends" should have meaning to anyone who has ever been on a date, But, then, I guess some people haven';t, which makes me sad...

Even my granddaughters seem to have outgrown Sailor Moon now which is unfortunate because in the often turgid world of Japanese lollicon SM retains a saving grace. Sometimes it is funny as hell.

Wait a minute, I remember this farce. It was supposed to be the be-all, end-all of eroticism and exotica when in reality it was about as risque as an episode of Sailor Moon. Boring from the opening credits it was always drive-in fodder although I think its theme song was nominated for an Academy ...

@likecrunchyness Hello and thank you.I'm afraid I was a bit harsh in my comment but it does anger me when people denigrate beautiful women simply because styles have changed. MM, Natalie Wood, Ingrid Bergman, Susanna York, Catherine Deneuve, hell even Mary Miles Minter and a legion of others will...

@1916jutland That's a very astute observation and the comparison between Little Bighorn and Isandlwana is overdue, for the very reasons you cite.I still believe that repeating rifles, well within the capabilities of industrial nations like Great Britain or the U.S. could have made a difference. I...

People of limited perception have been trashing this song for years. Forget the commercialism and the greed of magazine publishers, the rage of critics at their own impotence and the knee jerk reaction of some of the public who are self proclaimed experts of various music genre. To many of us, be...

Since I was about ten years old and realized that everyone dies, and everyone dies alone no matter who might be holding their hand and that everyone is about two seconds old when they die, I have had no fears of the grim reaper. But dammit this vid makes me look in wonder at mortality and wonder ...

I agree ... for once ... with 'Roger Ebert that that this movie is refreshing in its assumption that the audience will realize the literary references that pervade this story, Percy reading Carson McCullers while slurping noodles in a bus station is just beautiful. This is not a snob thing, I am,...

Critics be damned, this is a fine film and so American, as if the ghosts of Steinbeck, Burroughs and Fitzgerald (Faulkner and Williams don;t own the south) were looking over the shoulder of the screenwriter, Maybe Hemingway too.The actors went a little beyond themselves to create an odd but heart...

@monicatorralba The A&P is also referenced in one of Lorraine's songs in that vastly underrated film Love Song For Bobby Long. And I;'m old enough to remember even the Five and Dime. All the best.

Constant, ditzy, hilarious, heartbreaking, wonderful Diane Keaton.

Since when did a nation that produced the likes of Thomas Jeffereson, Abraham Lincoln, John Steinbeck,Robert E. Lee, Eleanor and Frankklin Roosevelt, Sam Houston,, Marlyn Monroe, and John Kennedy have to sink to worshiping some nose picking , unbathed morons as a source of national pride? George ...

I wonder if Darren McGavin knew he was becoming an iconic and much loved figure, from Mike Hammer and Riverboat to Night Stalker and Christmas Story, or did he just approach each new role as just another job? He must have known how popular he was.

No disrespect, Billie Holiday is ethereal and tragic as Verdi, but the problem with jazz is that you can't just listen and enjoy you're supposed to have a degree in it or they throw you out. Much of that is pretense I realize but it's off putting so no wonder rock and roll took over, All it asked...

What the heck, why not? Happy New Year from Vancouver, B,C,,Canada

Guy Lombardo reflects what Canadians and Americans should be. Best friends in an uncertain world. Think about that the next time you sing Auld Lang Syne on either side of the 49th parallel and Happy New Year! (Especially Seattle.)

I''n as old as dirt and have been through everything from Presley to the Four Seasons to the Beatles to the mystic of the Stones. But I have always enjoyed Aerosmith because they looked like they enjoyed the sensation they wre creating and I Don't Want To Miss A Thing should be right there with M...

Rhonda Fleming may have been the Queen of Technicolor but she;s pretty good even in black and white.

Doesn't anybody else get it? Salma Hayek is having Letterman off, and most of America. As well as arguabley being one of the most beautiful women to ever step in front of a camera she is also a producer, executive producer, director, writer, activist and the star of such controversial films as Fr...

Always ignored among the many wonderful scenes in Rebel is the quiet moment when James Dean pulls into his driveway and finds Natalie Wood waiting for him, unexpectedly.It's been so long I barely remember but to have a girl you desperately want to see appear unbidden is one of the great moments i...
