Westerns? They ain't got the best westerns! They don't know the best westerns. I'll show you the stinkin best westerns!

An impressive list. I've seen all but two and am thinking that in addition to the one cutely referenced above, there are a few others more deserving: Little Big Man, Hondo, Blazing Saddles, Ulzana's Raid, the John Ford Cavalry Trilogy and since they included No Country for Old Men - Hell or High Water.

OK - that's more than a few and I cheated. Perhaps the list is just too short. . .

I was listening to the radio earlier this week and the DJ says it's Sally Fields' 71st birthday today. We all remember her as Robin Williams mom in Mrs. Doubtfire. And I'm like Say What?

Great story on this bridge in the WSJ a while back. They can't raise it because of the railroad tracks. They also can't lower the road. It is what it is and the video site which kinda started as a joke is now world famous.

..sigh.. Really wish Dark Shadows was back on Netflix. . .

Agree with Shoehorn. Most "best of" lists exist to start a discussion and these are successful at that.

A deserving Vampire film: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

And as Shoehorn also noted, a deserving Zombie film: Pontypool

Small, well-done independents from Iran and Canada.

No data for Maine eh? Well, I don't know what the odds are, but I'm pretty sure I know what the animal is. . . .

The costume originated from smiffys - a UK firm. It's no longer available there, but based on their other offerings it would appear it was originally presented as a WW2 Evacuee Girl Costume and someone at one their distributing subsidiaries took an artistic marketing solution to the problem of selling it outside of the UK were no one knows the history of evacuee children while everyone knows Anne Frank. From one seller's site: This costume makes a historical enhancement to your child's history project on World War II, or school book report on the Narnia books or the iconic Diary of Anne Frank. Stockings and shoes not included.

Agree it was a very bad move. In the realm of stupid, but I don't think there was any intentional malice.
The Telegraph-UK article

Well. There's bad planning and poor execution and then there's really bad planning and really poor execution. The hippies got nothing on the millennials and The Fyre Festival

But then again, from the article: The Internet was ablaze in a firestorm of ridicule, with thousands of people without the money to frolic at Caribbean music festivals heaping abuse on “spoiled” millennials, who were freaking out because they were forced to sleep in tents and eat cheese sandwiches instead of sushi. “I can’t figure out what #fyrefestival is,” tweeted one, “but it seems like rich people having a bad time, which I fully support.” One woman tweeted: “I’ve always dreamed of building elaborate deathtraps that attract the 1%, but #fyrefestival actually went and did it, kudos.”

Guess one's interpretation of "mess" varies -eh?

Henry's Hamburgers was a family favorite back in he 60s. Way better than McDonald's. Great memories - thanks for this.

Stephen King has put a red balloon in his window in Bangor

I've a sewer grate right in front of my house and I've been thinking of doing the same. Three school bus runs go by in the morning and I'm thinking it would draw some interest. Probably bad interest ; which is why I've been too chicken so far. . .

Kokadjo is right up the road from Lily Bay State Park, my favorite place to go if I want a base camp to wander around the North Maine Woods. The sign is just outside the "town".

Gene! Gene! The Dancing Machine! Show us your Lark!

Thanks for the memories.

Couldn't agree more with your comments regarding Joan Crawford and Feud. The whole series was awesome, but the end was exceptionally well done.

Peter Cushing made the list but he got a reprieve (with the permission of his estate). I thought he was excellent in Rogue One.

Here. We. Go.
