Fool to cry

I think the 1940s in general was the best era for women centered movies.

A variation of this line in every mystery plot: "(name) is not a (man/woman) it's a (blank)!" Example: "Emily's not a woman, it's the name of a boat!" Also the reverse: "(blank) isn't a (blank) it's a name!" Example: "'Snotty punk' wasn't an insult it's the name of a race horse!"

What's Up Doc? and Foul Play are airing tomorrow night. If Freebie and the Bean were in between them instead of The Sugarland Express we'd have the trifecta of 70s comedic car chases!

My favorite is the last season with the jazzy arrangement of the theme and the family getting into the car to go to a picnic. I wonder how Barbara Billingsley got first billing? You'd think with the times it would be Hugh Beaumont. Even going by alphabetical order Hugh would be first. I think it's cool her name was first but it is kind of odd.

He wrote a lot of great music but my favorite is the song he wrote for the opening titles of the original The Italian Job from 1969," On Days Like These" sung by Matt Munro. Makes me feel like I'm driving a sports car through the Italian Alps every time I hear it!

Teri Garr was the only good thing in The Sting 2.

Before becoming an actress she was a background dancer in a number of Elvis movies like Viva Las Vegas: and also one of the dancers in the legendary TAMI show(1964) featuring big musical acts like the Beach Boys, James Brown, the Rolling Stones and The Supremes: One of her first acting roles was on the original Star Trek in the episode "Assignment: Earth" a backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff about the enigmatic alien agent Gary Seven. She played Seven's innocent secretary Roberta Lincoln. I remember first seeing that rerun when I was younger and going "Is that Teri Garr?"

My first exposure to Jack Jones was seeing Airplane 2 on TV and this funny moment:

There are a lot of great classic noirs, Double Indemnity, Out of the Past, The Postman Always Rings Twice, but Detour captures the pitiless dark soul of film noir.

I would assume he was right after Trudy died. What kept him going was the need to find her killer. Also the pandemic effected a lot of people's mental health and if it was bad for them it would be even more so for someone like Monk.

Golden years involve going on cruises. Is Cindy on the game show the most satisfying humbling of a Brady child?

The original premise was Jedi investigating someone killing their ranks. That's an easier thing to sell.

I finally realized what bothered me about Moira Kelly's voice. She always sounds like she's in the middle of a yawn.

Yeah but it wasn't a bad show IMO. Yes we miss the throwback screwball comedy rat a tat dialogue and the Paddy Chayefsky inspired speeches Sorkin wrote but it was still a very good political drama.
