    No, I'm a fan of the 70s Shaw Brothers Kung Fun movies and somehow that one fell on my radar on Amazon. I saw it on cable years ago and was amazed how bad it was. So bad it was great.:) Plus a star studded cast, Scatman Brothers, Isaac from the Love Boat played a militant, Florence from.The Jeffersons had a cameo and that whole 70s dialogue. I was laughing start to finish. Very cool movie :)

    SW:

    Have you ever seen Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)? Great spoof movie with a "feature" called A Fistful of Yen. It's a takeoff on Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. The first time I saw it I laughed myself into an asthma attack. It used to be shown as a double feature (dating myself here) with the Groove Tube.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned in what they are watching, but at the moment I'm watching the German language Netflix series DARK.  I love watching motion pictures with subtitles.  I know head Mistress Kang mentioned how she really likes it a couple of years ago.  But I'm hoked on subtitles now.  Aside from that it is a very good, smart and mysterious show.  Wow need to slow down and produce better shows and movies and films if we can.  Lost faith in film a while ago.  

    All the crap, and it is crap, that I'm working on at the moment are ridiculous American productions that lack nuance, ingenuity and soul.   A lot of it is trying to take advantage of the current state of affairs that we are finding ourselves in but it is COWARDICE!  The older films I watch have so much more integrity then what is been bieng made.

    I hope you are all safe and well.

     Best,

    Just saw the 1931 German Classic movie "M" last week for the first time. I had seen the 1951 American remake before but this subtitled original was far superior and very disturbing.

    "The Horror of Dracula" starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (1958). That was the first vampire movie that made a lasting impression on me.

    When I was a little boy I went the movies with my friend and his mother. During the coming attractions they showed The Horror of Dracula and Frankenstein. We were very young and (I didn't know this till later) my friend's mother covered his eyes during the attractions. I had nightmares that night.

    I'm truly stuck in the 60's this week. My Three Sons, Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy, Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, The Twilight Zone, and Mannix. I've even been listening to early 60's music. The Twilight Zone episode was "Kick the Can." I think I want to go back, too.

    Glad to see you are keeping up with all the latest entertainment.

    ”No whammies, no whammies, no whammies!”...sounds like something I may have been screaming during my last session.  If anyone heard that they may have thought I was about to win big.

    I'm in a pre 1970 time warp.

    Watched "From Here to Eternity" and remembered the scene from The Godfather where Tom Hagen said to Jack Woltz "Give Johnny Fontaine a part in that new war movie......"

    That was the movie and Frank Sinatra got that part.

    Wasn't planning on watching this, but it came on and I stuck with it.

    The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse. Thought it was a porn movie. Turned out to be a 1938 film starring Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor and Humphrey Bogart. Going stir crazy.

    Dannyboy:

    Haven't seen that in years. I watched 5 episodes of the 1960's series Combat with Vic Morrow and Rick Jason over the weekend. I may have reached the bottom today by watching The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

    Watched reruns of "The Lone Ranger" hoping to find the scene where Tonto says to the Long Ranger "What you mean 'WE' white man?" I found it in "MAD" magazine so many years ago but never in an actual episode. Crushed.

    Dannyboy:

    I remember that, but I'm not sure where I saw it. Do you remember Gary Larson's "The Lone Ranger in Retirement?"

    I don't remember if I saw that one. There were a number of good ones that year: American Graffiti, The Sting, Serpico et al.

    Dannyboy:

    Also, Papillon, Mean Streets, The Exorcist, and The Day of the Jackal. Charley Varick was from 74. Worth seeing.

    Good point!!  Now what would be fun is to add a where element.  Imagine walking down the street, a van swings by you, opens up and you get grabbed by the fortress mistresses and a way you go.  Never going to happen but a guy can dream.  I guess I’ll settle for the who in the not too distant future.  Stay safe!!  Unless it means getting kidnapped by dangerous beauties of course.

    I think you're a mind reader.

  11. I'm ready to dust off the power block set in the basement. It's an 85 pound set with 5 pound increments the equivalent of 17 pairs of dumbbells. I bought these over 20 years ago in case I couldn't get to the gym for an extended period.  Guess that time is here.
