Is it just me or was the walking pattern of Vader in R1 noticeably different from OT. On lava planet, Vader’s walking pattern seemed like a fashion model walking on the stage. In contrast, walking in OT is much more “robotic”, which I like more.

Admittedly, I only saw R1 once and my impression could a bit incomplete.

Can’t say I paid too much attention to Vader’s walking in his first scene with Krennic.
Maybe Vader just finished watching Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy” music video. 😃

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
A comedy about 3 gold diggers who rent an apartment together, in New York, trying to bag them some Tycoons. It doesn’t all go according to plan, and realise there’s more too it than money… love!
It was a funny movie, but very predictable.

I like how you both called it Citizen Cane.

Maybe someone made a remake called Citizen Cane, about an elderly person who walks with a cane.

Duracell: That reminds me of a 90’s movie “Stay Tuned”, starring John Ritter.

^ not too far from me

I learned a new phrase today… I like British slang!

I watched Rogue One for a second time, and it still gets me pumped to watch the OT. It was great that they added Vader in the end of the movie, to tie in with Star Wars. I would’ve been ok if Vader wasn’t in Rogue One, but having him in it, just adds to the level of awesomeness.

^That’s a funny picture.

^ That looks like Scarlet from G.I.Joe.

Would it be freakier to know that was only a small fraction of the cats I owned at the time that picture was taken?

That’s quite a bit of cats.

The great comedy from back in the day:

The Three Stooges (Curly Joe & Joe Besser, not so great)
Laurel & Hardy
Abbott & Costello
Marx Brothers
The Monty Python
Benny Hill

Monty Python is the only one I like.

Well, their humour was all over the place. They had something for almost everyone to like. They’re movies were hysterical.

^ Great videos!

^Black Adder and Fawlty Towers are funnier than MST3K too.

😃

Those are funny shows. Don’t forget Are You Being Served, another funny show.

I used S-VHS extensively back in college. It beat the pants off of U-Matic. More than a few forum members have at least one S-VHS deck around for videotape preservations.

S-VHS straddled the world between consumers who wanted better video quality for their home video projects, and low end broadcast. The broadcast end competed mostly with Sony’s venerable U-matic format, which was the backbone of many a small cable company or college. One low power tv station near me, (now long gone) was new enough in the early 90’s, they were S-VHS from the ground up. I rented their editing suite once.

So, S-VHS was an alternative to the more professional, expensive broadcast standard of Betacam. I would like to have an S-VHS deck, to help perserve some of my home videos. I remember my highschool had an S-VHS deck, which was used to make copies of some student’s small film projects.

IIRC, there was a VCR in the late 80’s/early 90’s that revisited the dials idea to make digital programming and clock setting easier. Can’t recall who made it though.

I seem to remember the programming was a little tricky, that’s why I asked my dad to setup the times for my shows. Though, setting the clock was easy, since you had buttons underneath the LED screen.

Sony also made VHS decks in the end. A dark day in the view of die hard Beta fans. Beta’s industrial broadcast cousin Betacam became an industry standard though.

Well, Sony had to eventually comply, so they can make some extra scratch. That’s true, Betacam did become an industry standard. I also remember SVHS, which I think tried to duplicate what Betacam was.

The Gazebo (1959)
A dark comedy about a Television writer, who is trying to raise money to pay off a photographer that is blackmailing him, by threatening to release nude photos of the writer’s wife.
A lot of weird quirky scenes throughout the movie. A great movie to check out.

The Other Side of the Door (2016)
A horror suspense about a mother, living in India, who is grieving over the loss of her son, in a tragic accident. She’s told of an old Indian temple, that helps link the living, with the dead, via a door (portal).
A typical horror that uses jump scares, suspense, gruesome imagery to “scare” people. The character disobeys a warning, which starts the domino effect of the “creepy scariness”. It’s not bad, worth seeing, at least once.

We had a Beta machine first in our house. I miss that clunker.

Beta was higher quality over VHS. Sony got their revenge, with their Blu-Ray format.

I always liked the buttons on that. Damned if I can find a picture of the actual model but it was cosmetically close to this one.

Nice, pretty high tech, for a consumer vcr. My JVC vcr with the colourful buttons came with a remote, that had to be plugged in. Also, the auto-record timer feature had to be set with “gear dials” underneath a covered panel next to the tape deck.
