Yay! I added you as well, WatchOut! As far as being welcoming, it’s super easy when the forums attract such high caliber people. We’re glad to have you and AlmostAGhost here with us now

I'm also interested in expanding my movie chops with musicals. I usually think I won't like them, but then I can recite Annie from memory. ETA - It's great that the regulars on these forums are so welcoming

I found a website that lists people named Tim. Tim Baltz is not on it.

**cracking my knuckles and jiggling my fingers over the keyboard getting ready for tomorrow's post**

I added you! Here's the original sign up if you want to see who picked what. As you can see, people drift in and out, so there's really no pressure

Hmm I actually did just grab a couple of musicals you haven't done. OK add me to the rotation

You know who'd make an awesome Bond? Lynda Carter.

Here's mine!

No problem! Currently, Slide Pocket is the last person on the rotation. Usually, when I get to the end, I’ll ask if anyone wants to jump in. If by that point you want to make your first pick, you’re more than welcome to do so

To add to Taylor Anne, you also don't need to be well versed in musicals either. Most of us aren't big musical people. Don't feel pressured to goin the rotation but don't feel like you can't participate because you aren't educated on the genre. This isn't serious business...except for Josie And The Pussycats which is the most serious business.

OK newbie here. How does 'Musical Mondays' work? When do we discuss what we watch?

This is my first time posting over here on the Unspooled message board, but since Double Indemnity is my absolute favorite movie of all time I thought I'd chime in with some of my thoughts regarding the film. 1. Every time Edward G. Robinson is on the screen in this film does for me what I often hear people who discuss Heath Ledger' s Joker does for The Dark Knight (and deserving so: Ledger was a revelation in that roll of course). One of my favorite aspects of Keyes' character is that, true to his last name, he's able to gleefully unlock Phyllis and Walter's scheme (up to a point), even going so far to realize that Mr. Dietrichson wasn't even on the train, but rather a "someone else" posing as him. Papa's got it all figured out. 2. Paul questioned a couple of times why this movie has never been remade, but it actually was. In the mid-70's Double Indemnity got a hilariously abyssal, shot-for-near-shot made-for-TV update starring Rambo's William Crenna. It came as a bonus disc with the remastered Universal Legacy Series edition of Double Indemnity, and deserves a HDTGM outing all its own (the TV version, that is). One of the most entertaining scene in the remake is when the main characters "attempt" the famous "How fast was I going, officer?" scene, and it just deflates right there in front of the camera before the scene gets going, as if the actors just got tired and gave up. 3. When he wasn't ripping off Quentin Tarantino's early films wholesale, British director Guy Ritchie would find time to lift and mutate lines of dialogue from other famous films as well. For example, here's a line of dialogue from Benicio Del Toro's Franky Four Fingers in 2000's Snatch "I am not in Rome, Doug. I'm in a rush," which is a simply variation on Keye's "Well, we're not in Medford now, we're in a hurry." Revenge for what we did to The Office? Who knows? 4. Billy Wilder's follow-up, The Lost Weekend is a direct jab at Raymond Chandler, as the character in that film is supposed to be Chandler himself.

I appreciated it, but I'm not letting go of this point! Lol!

I’m back baby!

This whole movie is 800 kinda of nuts. My favorite part is when Marky Mark is talking to them through the door and the camera is looking at him through the eye hole and he just freaks out. Then goes back to being calm.

I like that Tim is high status, Seeso's Shrink is low status and, Seeso's Berjillion's Glenn is low status failing to be high status

You might need to stop for a while later on, so that Hayes can read our popcorn gallery questions more easily. But it's fine to continue after that

I was completely annoyed at the off-beat clapping during that Ragnar "musical" performance. The audience was ALL. OVER. THE PLACE! And also, did anyone else feel the "Stargrove" song and that "Christmas Time is Here" song by Horatio Sanz and the SNL crew sound somewhat similar to each other?

I ain't scared of you [expletive/redacted]. What's the deal with Windex? I tried spraying it in my hair and the wind still came and messed it all up... It had no effect at all. Kick it! This is just a peak at my new character. It's a mashup of stuff that turns out not being so good, but I still do it 'cause I just do what I do. Epilogue: Henry's new character died immediately after posting this. He is survived by all those who knew and loved him.

gah, that's what i meant. i mixed his last name up with tariq abdul-wahad.

From now on, please put Shareef Abdur-Rahim on your plastic cups. I came perilously close to wasting my 1000th post on this, so maybe spell-check your cups more carefully in the future.
