The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Night of the Hunter, with Lilian Gish...

She died, what, 50 years ago? Must be an oldie. I may have to look for it. Never heard of it, so it may not even be available. But I'll check.

Some may regard this as sacrilege, but a lot of "classic" movies just don't do anything for me. Bogie? IMO, he couldn't act. He was flat emotionally, and droned on monotonically. I recognize that this was at least part of the culture, the image of the "manly tough guy". But his performances leave me bored, even if their were some great lines from his characters. Cagney at least had more emotional range and intonations, but the only movie of his I really like is "One Two Three" (that is hysterical, especially for those of us who can remember the USSR and Cold War and Berlin Wall). That movie also is really hard to find. It popped up on a channel I got maybe 10 years ago (Netflix?), but I'm not sure it's still showing. They always rotate their movies in and out.

Thanks for digging up a movie reference like that. Gives me something to dig into.
