Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

On the subject of silent films, even though I am a classic movie lover, I never could bring myself to liking reading movies. I can’t say I like silent films any more than watching films with subtitles.

I don’t know when or what the first “talkie” was, but the oldest film I have in my collection is a 1929 Marx Brothers movie called The Cocoanuts.

The Longest Day had subtitles, too. I gave up reading them. Either I couldn’t get through them fast enough or I felt I was missing something on screen like facial expressions for focusing on the words.

Republidog only bites poor people.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Howdy chefwen, Number Six, JP Steve, jesse, and Baslim!

Number Six, that must have an interesting movie, “A Man Escaped”.

Wasn’t the “Bridge at Remagen” in partial subtitles?

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, noicantspell & all CDers out there.

good morning people and pets.

happy, happy, happy.

I seem to recall a lot of war movies had partial subtitles, Fellow Baby, especially if they were made in the 70’s.

nighthawks!

Good Evening CDers!

Hate to post and run, but I got a late invite for dinner from a classmate. I never turn down home cooking when I don’t have to cook it myself! :-D

Later! Sorry I can’t comment or reply right now…..

my new favorite radio station.@Citizen GROG!we know you like old movies.every afternoon on saturday they have a program all about movie scores.i think that movie scores are the modern equivalent of classical symphonic music.and a good movie is made into a great movie with a great score.

Star Wars and all its sequels all had great scores, but none of those movies would fall into the category of great movies with great acting in my opinion. What Star Wars had going for it was a great score and outstanding special effects.

I don’t know how many movies in my collection that I would skip the ending credits because I didn’t care for the musical score. And yet I might have loved those movies.

I love the score in Animal House but would I call it a great movie? It was a good movie but not great.

OK that’s enough of my rambling.

Hi Shika, bye Shika!

Oh gee, Number Six, I can’t sit through an hour of a silent movie, I just can’t. They just do not appeal to me!

Fellow Baby, you said “Some might think* that The Magnificent Seven was a great movie”. There is no doubt in my mind, IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE! And of course, you know what I think about the “Great Escape”. Classics both!

“Gray Lady Down” is on NetFlix right now. Haven’t seen that in “forever”.

Agreed, Fellow Baby, there are those who think it’s a cheap copy of The Seven Samurei.

I do not agree with that statement.

Number Six both excellent movies! AND THEY TALKED! Actual dialogue!

Yes, I know, silent movies were innovative, etc. just not my “cup of tea”. Now give me Earl Gray or Dragon Tea, that’s another story! ;-)

I do not agree that M7 is a cheap copy.

I loved them both, Number Six. I also loved Witness For the Prosecution. but I wouldn’t say it had a great music score.

Now Casablanca is a completely different story. It, too, had it all.

And then there was A Day At the Races. Great music and great comedy.

Laurel.(stupid spell check…)

they appeared in 107 films in there combined careers.

i am getting tired and feeling a bit down again.im thinking its because im tired.im going to get mom her ice cream, put her to bed, and decide if im going to bed, or surf youtube.

I liked Laurel & Hardy, but I’m more into Abott & Costello. I have a boxed set of theirs.

Good night, everybody!

Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys

Good night, StelBel.

happy if you read “Cul de Sac” google it on you tube. Thanks to Sisyphos I came across some short clips of the Cul de Sac gang in cartoon mode, little talking cartoon strips. I actually enjoyed the voices that did Alice, Petey, Dill, Mr. & Mrs. Otterloop, and even Miss Bliss. Very well done! They are only about 30 seconds long but very good!

hi STEL! Hope you are enjoying yourself. The weather may not be that great from what I hear, but remember what I say, “It’s an ADVENTURE! SO ENJOY!

Fellow Baby I can remember visiting my aunt’s over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Abbott and Costello I believe had a TV show at that time, which we always watched. I enjoyed them and Laurel and Hardy. And do you remember “Amos and Andy”? I know that in these days and times, it is considered racist, but I just always enjoyed it for what it was, a good comedy program. Those guys were so good in their roles.

Fellow Baby, I’d never heard of Amos and Andy until I saw next week’s schedule for Radio classics on XM radio. I hope to hear one of their shows if I’m lucky.

I love Our Miss Brooks, Fibber McGee & Molly, The Jack Benny Show, The Great Gildersleeve and Duffy’s Tavern, ever though I’ve only heard the latter a couple of times. Then there’s The Life Of Riley.

happy, I am SO GLAD you found them! Aren’t they GREAT? I sure hope Richard can get well! What a true talent, and a gentleman, and a GENTLE MAN.

Fellow Baby If my memory serves me correctly, the radio version of “Amos and Andy” were white men. The really GOOD “Amos and Andy” were the tv shows with Alvin Childress, Spencer Williams, I can’t remember the actor who played Kingfish, and I do remember Amanda Randolph. I wasn’t born yet when the original episodes aired but it was re-run for a while and I remember it.

I’m beginning to think I should have been born in the 40’s or early 50’s

Detroit’s beating the Yanks in the 8th 4-0. The Irish beat the Cardinal to stay undefeated. Life, so far tonight, is good.

Fellow Baby I remember Our Miss Brooks, Eve Arden and Richard Crenna, when it was on TV. Actually I remember them all, on tv, I have heard Fibber McGee and Molly on radio quite a few times, but Duffy’s Tavern doesn’t ring a bell. And the Jack Benny TV show, I grew up on that one too! And the Life of Riley was William Bendix! omg, am I aging myself or what? Hey my parents watched this stuff, remember that!

I wish I could hear more of the stuff, but Radio Classics is dominated by Dramas, Suspense & Westerns. And since I know what William Conrad looks like in real life, I can’t buy him as the voice of Matt Dillon.

I don’t mind Dragnet or The Shadow, but I tend to tune out on the rest of the stuff.

Johnny Dollar’s OK every once in a while.

I hate those Yanks!

good night people and pets…

I’ve been up way too late. Good night.

Goodnight happy and Fellow Baby! HAVE A GOOD SLEEP GUYS!

I don’t know FELLOW BABY! WILLIAM CONRAD HAD A GREAT VOICE! REALLY GREAT! FORGET WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE!

THANKS AGAIN HAPPY FOR FINDING THOSE OTHER CUL DE SACS!

Fellow Baby, I’m probably one of the few who have heard Gun Smoke after seeing Conrad on Cannon. I couldn’t buy that TV show any more than I could see him on Gun Smoke. Just think of the poor horse.

The poor horse would look like a reverse polarity camel.

And now I’m really going to bed.

Fellow Baby! As Matt Dillon on TV, no, James Arness was perfect for that role. But you have to admit, FOR ONE OF THE BEST speaking voices, William Conrad and James Earl Jones have kind of OWNED those roles! I know there are JUST one or two others who can claim that title but it’s late, I am tired, and I AM OUTTA HERE! Sleep well, Fellow Baby!And I thought YOU were going to bed as well?? HMM? :-D

It looks like I missed the party for once! I watched “The Good Wife” on HD TV at a friends house. Of course, I’m not sleepy now, and I have an early day tomorrow. I guess I’ll have to remember not to go out Saturday nights.

Lots of good talk about movies. Thanks for the “Circus” link Number Six.

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and dog-trained people.
