Programming note - 12 Angry Men is on TCM - NOW!!! I won't answer since I'm watching the movie now - this has the makings of a great thread.

Interestingly, the two best Star Trek movies, Wrath of Khan and First Contact, are direct continuations of TV episodes - Space Seed, and Best of Both Worlds

Except North by Northwest and Singing in the Rain, where you went for classy handsome leading men. I have no idea what my favorite movies are. um. That Thing You Do?

[quote="ScarletKnight41"]Joe is Doing Well in Norfolk - Joe Hietpas has also been hot at the plate lately, hitting safely in ten of his last 13 games. Hietpas had a career-high tying nine game hitting streak during that stretch, and the 27-year-old has hit .316 (12-38) with two home runs and six RBI over his 13-game stretch.

Bannister, Brian - 8 Delgado, Carlos - 10 Floyd, Cliff - 0 Glavine, Tom - 7 Heilman, Aaron - 3 Hernandez, Orlando - 0 Maine, John - 7 Milledge, Lastings - 10 Trachsel, Steve - 0 Valentin, Jose - 3

That was a great clip - I hope I get the opportunity to see him speak in person.

It basically means over-the-top acting or to ham it up.

I liked it - a lot. Set approximately 5 years after Superman II, Superman Returns, directed by Brian Singer, finds Superman absent from Earth for 5 years in an attempt to find any remains from his destroyed home planet, Krypton. Earth, especially Lois Lane, has moved on, with Lane even winning a Pulitzer Prize for an editorial titled, "Why We Don't Need Superman", and having a five-year old son and a new fiance. Singer pays homage in so many little moments to the original films, from the opening sequence (using John Williams original theme), throughout the movie, including Superman telling the passenger of a rescued jet that, "Flying is still the safest way to travel". Also look for Noel Neill and Jack Larson in cameos. Brendan Routh is very good as Superman/Clark Kent. He's no Christopher Reeve, but he does bear a striking resemblence to him in many scenes. Kevin Spacey plays Lex Luther much more twistedly than Gene Hackman, and excels, as usual. Frank Langella does his usual enjoyable scene-chewing as Perry White. My only nit is with the casting of Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. While she and Routh have obvious chemistry, she just seems to be too young for this role. At this point in time, Lois Lane is supposed to be a fierce, pulitzer prize-winning reporter with a five year-old son, but at times I couldn't get past the fact that Bosworth was only 23 here... Overall - this movie really deserves the big-screen treatment - don't wait for DVD to see it. 4 out of 5 stars.

This is the same as the Mets getting swept in Houston in 1986...

Kathleen Turner in Body Heat.

I just watched this again on DVD - one of my favorite movies. Ray Sharkey plays Vinny Vacarro, a street-wise music producer who is looking for a "face" to perform his music. Loosely based on the life of Bob Marucci, who discovered, Frankie Avalon and Fabian. Peter Gallagher makes his big-screen debut, and this is Taylor Hackford's directorial debut.

ok - I haven't listened to Benigno in a while, so I just tuned in. Within 15 minutes, my ears started to bleed...

The best part of that was listening to Vin Scully.... "If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words"
