I think Carrie is morphing into Jabba.

So..........you saved her pictures.....hmm.

Forgot about "The Band of Brothers." Excellent mini-series. Also not mentioned are "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima."

Gettysburg and Das Boot (with subtitles) are also excellent.

I would have the opposite with Saving Private Ryan and then Full Metal Jacket.

Fixed

Yeah, the classic dancing scene with William Holden and a young hot Kim Novak with Artie Shaw's Moonglow in the background is one of my favorites.

Those are some cool images.

What a shame. I wonder if Castro is mourning.

No, haven't seen it, but I will look for it. Looks interesting. When you mentioned Orson Welles, I thought you were referring to "Touch of Evil." The long version of this movie is also excellent if you can overlook Charlton Heston as the Mexican detective. Another Welles movie that is very good is "The Stranger" with Edward G. Robinson.

Yeah, I also really liked "LA Confidential." Excellent characters in that movie.

Excellent list Sam and you can't go wrong with any of them. I especially like Laura. Other good noir films include: The Postman Rings Twice (the one starring John Garfield and Lana Turner) Act of Violence The Killers Strangers on a Train Rope

Brandon, why don't you start with the first, "The Maltese Falcon" with Humphrey Bogart. I love classic movies, especially noir films and there are plenty from the 40's and thereafter. If you're interested, I can come up with a list. Just finished watching most of the first season of "House of Lies" on Showtime. I have two episodes left.

Both you and Tank are greedy suckers...........and I agree with the two of you. I want mine!

Toss up between the time I sold tickets door to door for the women's Olympic volleyball team exhibition game (before the '76 Olympics) and managing a boiler room of telemarketers for a photography studio. I did sell 2 tickets to the volleyball game, but only because the lady at the door took pity on me. I quit after the first day and never got paid. The boiler room experience lasted about a month. I really hated this job because we really were preying on a lower middle income class neighborhood selling them a package of 1 plastic 35mm camera, one 8.5 by 11 inch photo and some cheap coupon for $19.95. When a package was sold, we would page (late 80's) a driver we had in the neighborhood who would immediately go to the house and pick up the money so this prevented someone from thinking too long about the sale (buyers remorse). When they would come in to take the photo, they would be hard sold into buying a larger photo package costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 to $400. I really needed the money, but I couldn't sleep at night knowing we were taking advantage of people.

Yeah, watched both and a little disappointed. I'll continue with both and hope that they improve with time.

I can agree with the $10M, but the pony? You're going too far.

They should open one up in Norco.

Make it so, number one.

I crack up watching that show. The owner thug guy with the gold chains doesn't take crap. You can tell he grew up on the streets. The only thing that annoys me are the two kids, especially the daugher.

I'm not much of a conspiracy guy either, but this one is different. Too many people stating that they heard shots from the grassy knoll to strange circumstances at the hospital. If this was carried out by a part of the government, it was probably a small group of individuals. Less chance of any info leaking. Assassinating the president is something most are not going to confess to. One of the best ways to cover your tracks is to start a bunch of other conspiracy stories as part of a disinformation campaign. How many different theories have we heard?

Yeah, there was a movie that provided a solution back in the 70's. It was called Soylent Green.

I like!

Just to let you know that any respectable taco shop will cook their refried beans in lard.

I perfer to settle this the way gentlemen always do........marbles?
