"Wonderman" with Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo, this was followed by "A Song is Born". The latter has a pretty incredible cast including Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Barnet, Buck & Bubbles, The Golden Gate Quartet. You don't need a plot, just watch and listen when it rolls again on TCM.

I scored some VHS tapes in the council cleanup and one of them was The Fourth War. Isn't too bad, mostly military/Jean Claude Van Damme style of an action movie.
Pano - agree to disagree on Moore, but as for Lawrence of Arabia - I probably saw that shortly after it came out in ‘62. In full 70mm Panavision with the deluxe stereo soundtrack, it was the IMax of its day. 50+ yrs later , one of my absolute top 10 “serious” films - a list that also includes Citizen Kane and Schindler’s List - Spielberg’s ultimate masterpiece? I’d have to think about the remaining spots, but none of the Bond canon would be among them.
Now, what’s going on at Real Housewives 😱
Here’s a class of mineral water to clear that throat gag.

Yes, it's gorgeous, no doubt. I remember seeing it in a 70mm print at the Max Linder cinema in Paris. Ryan's Daughter, by the same team, was amazing to look at. Never seen anything else like it.
Well, there is that. 😛 One of those 1960s cameo role extravaganzas that were so popular. But I dunno, Peter O'Toole seems much too fey to play T.E. Lawrence. And Alec Guinness, hmmmmm
Well, with all indications it will be the fastest $1B world-wide box-office yet, it appears that you can't dumb things down far enough for the target audience, so I'm not so sure it's a screw-up.
I'm much more looking forward to Deadpool2 - and, well as hunky as Ryan might be, it'd mostly be about Vanessa

Anara Serra - Firefly , Mother Anna - V, Leslie Thompkins - Gotham, that's what you might wanna call a great body of work.
Ready Player One at the cinema in 3D. Never read the book so I can't compare, but I thought it was a solid entertainer, and given the subject matter, 3D is appropriate, but is by no means necessary to enjoy the movie.
"Lola Montes" -- (the mistress of Franz Liszt and Mad King Ludwig and scores of others), directed by Max Ophuls -- Now in "Criterion Collection" but will be making the TCM circuit.
Peter Ustinov is a circus ring-master who presents episodes of her life w flashbacks.

I watched The Dark Tower on TV. So disappointed as I read 2 of the books in the series. Stephen King really gets killed in some movie versions. Dreamcatcher was really a terrible waste of a plot twist so perfect for the big screen.
