@SupernalOne Oh, mind control is achievable. My wife's mind is completely controlled by her mother.

Man, wtf happened to Hollywood? How does all the garbage movies of today making billions in ticket sales compare to classic movies like these?

[EMCEMITCH]

SINATRA WAS BRILLIANT IN THIS---IRONICALLY, HE WAS SO UPSET BY JFK ASSASSINATION A YEAR AFTER THIS MOVIE WAS SHOW, USED HIS INFLUENCE TO BAN EVER SHOWING THIS FILM---IT WASNT SHOWN FOR 26 YEARS UNTIL 1989

You know I think this attitude to cinema is really strange. Talking about music I can understand it, but film? Yes crap tops the box office with much greater frequency than before, but there has been so much quality cinema SINCE the original blockbuster (Jaws).

I mean If I take a look at the imdb top lists for decades I honestly prefer the 90s to any other decade, the 00s and 80s weren't bad either, certainly better than the 70s and 60s (not that they were bad).

To this day Sirhan Sirhan does not remember shooting Robert Kennedy.

This was just on tv. I had never seen it before. Creepy, powerful,compelling and a scary performance from Angela Landsbury. A fine film.

That's a rumor, Philip K. Dick was not involved in MK-Ultra.

Chomsky is an anarcho-communist or classical libertarian, and thus against all states.

@bapyou. You sounds interesting "one-time head of the Communist Party USA and one of the first men targeted by America's post-World War 2 anti-communist pogroms". Was there a counterpart in USSR or in China or in N Korea or in Cuba, a political party who could speak up against the authorities ??? What would happened to Noam Chomsky & Gore Vidal, if they were living in a Communist state & were speaking against the state?? btw, would they have lived in these states, given an option??

The way Frankenheimer moved the camera around in a 360 degree to go from dream state to reality is a mind f*uck! Excellent!!

OUTSTANDING!!

Anyone can identify the photos of Stalin and Mao on the wall behind lecturer Yen Lo (actor Khigh Dhiegh; for examples 2:23 and 3:00). But can someone identify the men on the wall to the right of Yen Lo at 3:23?

I'm realtively certain the man in the right-hand photo is William Z. Foster, one-time head of the Communist Party USA and one of the first men targeted by America's post-World War 2 anti-communist pogroms. The man on the left I can't seem to figure out who it is.
