This is not new, but I only stumbled across it tonight. It should get everybody thinking twice about trying to set new speed records with their family car (or worse).

I had never heard of Halloween before coming to the U.S. in summer of '74 [corrected from '75] (at the age of 17). So I never experienced it as a child...not that I think I missed out on a whole lot. But at some time in the 90s or so they managed …

Yeah, that's why I try to avoid typing on my smartphone and rather use a real computer whenever available. And I have to correct myself nonetheless, those were only five years of Latin that I had, come to think of it (grades 7 through 11). But sti…

Just looking again at your OP (no, not Octopussy), I was obviously the first one to pick up on it and post a photo of our two sweeties at the time then (2018). Had forgotten about it. I can't tell from your video, but was (or still is, I'd hope …

Just stumbled across this one, which I highly recommend not just for the fans of Hogan's Heroes:

If you count all non-Bond films as well, I guess that Connery would be my choice. For instance, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER is one of my go-to films when I don't feel I have to watch something new, and none of Craig's movies, even those I liked. But …

I failed to put to work my intention to watch SHAFT again upon learning about his passing due to some other engagements, but I'll hang on to it. Even interrupting my Fritz Lang spree.

Well, first of all I did really watch THIS, originally titled "The Return of Frank James", as advised last night: And Overall impression: not bad, but no better than the original Henry King Jesse James movie. Tonight I kept on exploring Fritz…

Watched this one (again) last night as a preparation for my next Fritz Lang movie (which is going to be "The Return of Frank James"). A really good Western, in glorious early Technicolor. Historically not really accurate, but hey...

Sounds relatively harmless, anyway. I know some clowns in politics that scare me a lot more.

I literally "stumbled" across this after having (according to my DVD Profiler database) bought it 11(!) years ago but not watched yet: The original English-language title is "The Hoax". It's actually a very good movie, based on true events…

And here's the next one of my Fritz Lang spree: I'd say it is noir as noir can be, with a femme fatale (Gloria Grahame) being at the centre of the entire story. Plus, it is probably the most railroad-centred movie I know. Ahead of From Russ…

...and here is my next Fritz Lang movie: This is in fact quite a gripping spy/war movie made in 1946. US nuclear scientist Alvah Jesper (Cooper) is commissioned by the OSS to get an Italian colleague out of the German occupied country, since i…

Last night: this. Very good noir/crime story, directed by the legendary Fritz Lang. I'll probably watch another one of his movies tonight.
