@ACMillerAuthor @noirgal17 ~1990, when I was looking to expand my repitoire for my poor wife's sake (I cooked for us), I bought a cookbook for new housewives from the 1930's. It had recipes for *everything* from classic American dishes down to chow mein. Best thing ever.

@PopcornPost_ Len Deighton's Harry Palmer... even the bad ones.

@DADiClementi Well, I was a fan of Ronnie from his stand-up days before Gomer Pyle - after which 'nobody' knew him. So when his name pops up (sadly, this time, of course), I always like to give him some props for this.

@TheCinesthetic If this music reminds you of "Little Shop of Horrors", there's a good reason. His name is Alan Menkin.

@hlrule An old radio program I listen to from 1950 had ads that said a pack of Camels cost 15 cents. A decade later, when my mom would send me to the store, I distinctly remember her pack of Kent 100s cost $1.25. It's amazing to me that they weren't more in '84.

@lippyent "Thelma and Louise"?

@DADiClementi The second was a comedy night in a campus theater and featured, among others, Shelly Berman ("Oh god, don't fizz!") and Don Knotts. Another night to remember.

[Rick Trethewey @rainboanimation]

@DADiClementi The first was in a classroom/theater and starred ventriloquist Ronn Lucas, Bobby McFarrin (who did his Wizard of Oz), and actor/clown Bill Irwin. It was an amazing show.

@Noirchick1 "The Maltese Falcon", of course. Even though it embarrasses me that after umpteen viewings over decades, I still pick up details I'd missed that make it even better every time I watch it.

[Rick Trethewey @rainboanimation]

@gggirl924 I dunno. By the time I was 13, I'd completely outgrown mine.

@yonann My affinity for actors led me to think this up:
So, his agent calls, "I got you an NCIS!"

@oxley264 Dear old dad took the whole family downtown to see this epic. I loved it when the fortress exploded and the cannons fell into the sea.

[Rick Trethewey @rainboanimation]

@gggirl924 I'll always remember that a local dept. store record dept. gave away business-card-sized stickers printed in orange ink promoting their TV appearance. It was a hot kid commodity that week here in Minneapolis.

@TheCinesthetic It's a fine song, but it seems very similar to "Goldfinger" and maybe "You Only Live Twice".

[Rick Trethewey @rainboanimation]

@ATRightMovies Toss up between "Lawrence of Arabia" and "The Lion In Winter".

[Rick Trethewey @rainboanimation]

Watched it - been almost 20 yrs. Still 'meh', but better than I remembered. Mary & Minnie are good together. Very camp. Very slapstick. Lots of familiar faces from British TV. Glad I watched it again.

[Noirchick In Old Hollywood @Noirchick1]

@rainboanimation I have to check this film out.Just for the title alone🤣
