Everybody rags on Mark Borchardt for his "mispronunciation" of COVEN, but here's great American thespian William Daniels saying it the same way on an episode of Kolchak.

I would never second guess his pronunciation of anything.

Memphis Belle (1990)

This was a few months ago now, but I can't say enough about this film.

Hugely influential on me; watched it all the time as a kid on VHS (taped from HBO, most likely).

It's plucky; it probably could have used more of a budget, but they did what they could with what they had. I recently saw somebody dogging the effects, but to me there’s kind of an otherworldly look to the miniatures and other work that I love and that I think actually suits the movie quite well.

The cast is incredible all the way down, which really helps.

What I most love now though, having finally seen it on the big screen, is it has that Nolan "survival is victory" vibe a la DUNKIRK.

Oh, and I almost forgot, George Fenton's score is fantastic.

Not me crying at seeing this perfect movie on the big screen for the first time since I was a small child. And I brought enough Beemans for everybody.

Amazing night last night. Got to see this on film, on the big screen again after 35 years. And I brought enough gum for the whole class.

Sometimes you forget these people have careers.

I was at the Schlock-O-Rama X event at The Mahoning Drive-In this past weekend, and the first two films had five Bond actors between them.

Village of the Damed, amazingly, had two actors who essentially played the same role in two different films. The town doctor was played by Laurence Naismith, who was Sir Donald, the diamond expert, in Diamonds Are Forever. Sir Edgar Hargreaves (possibly the Home Secretary?) was played by Richard Vernon, who played Col. Smithers, the man from The Bank of England, in Goldfinger.

These Are The Damed (or just... The Damned, as it was in the UK) features Alexander Knox aka "The code word is imminent" from You Only Live Twice, as well as a pair of officers played by Walter Gotell and James "Why don't you try the Identigraph?" Villiers.

I know if it's been said once it's been said a thousand times, but how could you possibly make another movie in the franchise after ending the trilogy on this shot?

First look at Endeavour’s new display in the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. Looking incredible!
