I hope this new birthday year turns out to be a wonderful one for you, MJ. And many happy returns.
It’s probably no consolation, but at 51 years old I don’t have a girlfriend, either.
Chinatown is definitely an amazing film to share a birthday with - bravo!

Re: 40 Years Ago Today...
I really enjoy reading all of your recollections of seeing these films in the theater. Sadly, I didn't see either Gremlins or Ghostbusters in the theater in 1984, but saw them on home video much later (in jr. high or high school, I think) and absolutely fell in love with them. I thoroughly enjoy bot...

Re: Netflix CEO: movies aren't necessarily better on the big screen
A few years ago I saw Lawrence of Arabia in a local theater here in Oklahoma. I believe it was part of a TCM classic films series. They projected the film on a "regular" movie screen, so I didn't get the full 70mm experience, but just seeing the film on a regular movie screen was a revelat...

Re: Did you all skip the Oscars telecast too?
I haven't watched the Oscars (or even cared about them) in so long that I completely forgot about them this year! I saw a news article a couple days ago about Oppenheimer winning the Award for Best Picture, and I thought, "Has the Oscars ceremony already come and gone?" Oppenheimer is the ...

Re: STAR TREK Complete Original Series STEELBOOK Blu-Ray - $44
Thank you for the head's up, Andy - I picked this up! My brother bought a set of original series blu-rays used but they are the ones with new CGI effects. I watched a few episodes but much prefer the old special effects (low-budget though they were). I also don't care for the new sound mix on my bro...

Re: STAR TREK For Sale to Warner Bros.?!?!
Thank you, Andy! Thanks to your explanation I can wrap my head around this. It would be interesting to see what WB would do with Star Trek, especially if, as you said, it's developed by people who actually understand the franchise. I have been yearning for a return to the magic that made classic Sta...

Re: STAR TREK For Sale to Warner Bros.?!?!
Andy, why do you think Paramount would be willing to give up such a valuable IP? Are the current "Star Trek" TV shows performing badly? (I admit that I don't care for the current shows, but I didn't know how successful or unsuccessful they have been.)

Thank you for letting us know about the upcoming Supergirl release, Andy. I'm also looking forward to your thoughts when you get the blu-ray. Eric, thank you for sharing some of the production history. I didn't know what an important part Superman was originally supposed to play. I also had no idea ...

Yeah absolutely not! I stumbled into seeing it to be honest, Chris. An email friend of mine was talking about it and talking as if he had seen it. I didn't know him well enough to just ask him but I said, so what, I'll just ask -- and then ask if he had it! lol. What else could be said but "no...

Wow, that's amazing, Andy!

Your excellent analysis of the Clayton cut earlier in this thread answered most of my questi...
