Very sad to hear of Val Kilmer's passing. I was always amazed by how chameleon-like he was as an actor; how he seemed to disappear into his best roles. Of course, my favorite performance by him will always be Doc Holiday in TOMBSTONE. I was also amazed by how much he physically transformed into Bill...

Oh no, Andy - hope you feel better soon!

Excellent column, as usual.

Very cool, Andy! Thank you for sharing! I also thoroughly enjoy 1941. I'm happy to hear your son really enjoyed the movie, too.

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!

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...

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...

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 ...

Great news! I am looking forward to getting this set. Thank you again, Andy!

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...

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...

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 ...

Oh no! I didn't see that it was broken. I'm sorry you received a damaged copy.

Well done, MJ!
