Now that’s a good answer to the unanswerable argument.

Linda, I have no idea whether you’re faking or true. I just take most people here as true because I wouldn’t be able to operate otherwise. When Elvis says he’s not Alfie, I take it at face value, despite suspicions.

Just carry on regardless, Linda. Do what you do. Critics eventually get…[Read more]

My grandad – on my mother’s side – was a miner, Linda. He was trapped in a mine collapse back in the 1930s. My aunty would never have a word said against the Salvation Army because they kept the family alive during the 1926 strike, People think of the General Strike of 1926 as lasting just nine day,s but the miner strike lasted nine months.

well, we had the lights out during the miners strike in 1972, and the three-day week in 1973-74, when we were encouraged to have a bath together to save water.

But thanks for sharing the memory of your parents experience and memory of 1938, Linda.

It scared me that people were scared by The End of Days.

Interesting that your parents were caught up in The War of the Worlds scare, Linda. Were they living in NY State in 1938? Did they flee their home? If so, how long was it before they cottoned on that it was only a radio show?

Sorry, misterq, I don’t know Mary Ure.

And, yes, Welles wrote the radio script for War of the Worlds in 1938 which sent millions of Americans fleeing their homes in panic at what they thought was a real martian invasion. It made his name.

Not sure what you mean about Disney and Hollywood, mrq.

Moreau wasn’t a big Hollywood actress, or rather ther most interesting films weren’t made in Hollywood..Jules et Jim being a point.

But her Orson Welles films were the most interesting to me.

Welles was male, for sure, but hardly the standard Hollywood producer of the day. After Citizen…[Read more]

I’m sorry if that’s really the case, mr q.

You brought a much needed sense of goodwill to the boards. There’s always going to be put-downs, innuendos and lies, but these boards were dominated by them. You changed that for the better by refusing to respond to anger or taunting, and persisted despite everything.

I just hope that the…[Read more]

Well, acting could be pretty ham in the so-called ‘golden age’, and Moreau was seen in very sexual terms. I mean,, she was sexy lol.

Jeanne Moreau was special. Her mum was one of the Tiller Girls, from Oldham (I think)? but certainly a lassie from Lancashire.  Her dad was a Paris restaurateur who slapped her when he found out she was appearing…[Read more]
