@BoylanRoger Hahaha. It was the international community’s answer to the American disaster hits like The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure. All dumb fun.

Sophia Loren and Richard Harris in "The Cassandra Crossing," 1976. It wasn't a success. The NY Times critic called the film "profoundly, offensively stupid."

@ma165386 @DrPopCultureUSA It was on when the whole family threw up our hands and left to see Burnt Offerings at the hometown theater instead.

@DrPopCultureUSA Saw a few episodes at the time. Variety shows were kind of on the way out when this was going on. Weird what you remember,. I was shoveling snow outside and coming back in house and this on in other room, family watching. I didn't stay. Fake Jan made it not legit for me. 👋

May 25, 1977: "The Brady Bunch Hour" last airs on ABC.

@bones_mckinney @DrPopCultureUSA Yes. It reached levels theretofore unknown.

@DrPopCultureUSA Hard to accurately describe how utterly terrible it was.

@FredrickUphoff @DrPopCultureUSA Yes, but the majority of us were shaking our heads in a combination of disbelief, confusion, and revulsion. Even us kids.

@DrPopCultureUSA 😳 Did people actually watch this tripe?

@Updated_Jennie No

Do you consider HEAT to be Michael Mann's best film?

@GoneBoy94 Mariel Hemingway, doing some genuinely profound acting. Meryl’s shrill, entitled idiot character, while well played, has always been grating, and now plays as a laughable anachronism.

@PeabodyNobis @roger_bakes @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @ihateclaims @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet @performativeUtt The problem is that the next guy always takes the position that he can take it farther. “If Hitler got this far, just think what we can do with all the resources we have that he didn’t.” Go back to Orson’s dinner time speech in The Stranger which we discussed the other day.

@Windix3 @roger_bakes @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @ihateclaims @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet @performativeUtt But amphetamine-fueled, which eventually led to their demise. Turns out staying awake 24 hours a day can take a toll.

Is the Holocaust pure catnip for film awards? The 2002 Cannes Film Festival gave the Grand Prix to The Pianist, finding its Nazi-era horrors more captivating than entries such as David Cronenberg’s Spider & Woody Allen’s Hollywood Ending. Is the message simply, “Never forget.”

@PeabodyNobis @roger_bakes @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @ihateclaims @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet @performativeUtt That’s the seductive power of it. Nazi Germany was the most efficient state in history. Efficient. Organized. Proud. Powerful. And when a problem or antagonist presents itself, just squash and eliminate it immediately. Look at how far they were able to take it.

@roger_bakes @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @ihateclaims @Windix3 @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet @performativeUtt We're now at the point where people want to emulate the Nazi behavior.

@ronsterd89 I have long contended that Brian Keith’s Teddy was Oscar worthy

An easy one. What do these guys have in common?

@DADiClementi I made a recipe of hers for dinner tonight

Julie Andrews! Spiffing looking as she heads towards 91!

Like so many, my dad was plagued by PTSD and nightmares after the war. In college he switched his major to language and literature because, as he said, "I needed to get it out of my gut...write it down. This is the way it began for me." Images: Rod Serling 1943 & 1975

@FrankTracy That’s certainly testimony to just how good of an actor he was

The Great Escape was my childhood rude awakening that David McCallum wasn’t actually Russian. #TCMParty

“We don’t take an oath to a King”…. “We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution.…and we're willing to die to protect it" - General Mark Milley #MemorialDay

@TheCinesthetic O.C. and Stiggs

What is a movie you will defend forever, even if most people do not get it?

@filmstofilms_ 70s by leaps and bounds

Which decade had the best movies? 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s 2000s 2010s

A WWII veteran returns to Utah Beach, the Normandy shore where D-Day unfolded. This Memorial Day, we remember the Americans who never came home, the heroes who gave everything so we could be free.

@For_Film_Fans Gene Wilder and Daisy the sheep 🐑 is one of the funniest segments in film history

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX* (* BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK) - 1972

@Rob_Motto Yes. An absolute masterpiece.

Not only is it a great film it’s one of the best films in a completely loaded year.

@ihateclaims @AMclenon @FrankNeuville @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @performativeUtt @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 Ditto

@AMclenon @FrankNeuville @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @performativeUtt @Windix3 @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 And I know about irreplaceable

Greatest movie soundtrack? #OTD in 1962, the West Side Story LP hit #1 on the charts; songs like “Tonight,” the rousing “America” and the hilarious “Gee Officer Krupke” still sound vibrant today. Leonard Bernstein’s music truly is exciting; I love the haunting “Somewhere.”

@AMclenon @ihateclaims @FrankNeuville @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @performativeUtt @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 I love this story

That's funny because my favorite dog was named Lenny after the Simpson character. When I'd take him to the vet often on the paper work it would say "Lenny McLenon" He lived 16 years and could absolutely read my mind. Everybody knew him because I took him everywhere with me because he was so well behaved nobody cared and he was kind of famous because he was so cool. Died in 2016. Irreplaceable.
