Baseball Bugs (1946)
baseball and bugs
A super classic for those who love baseball and even for those who dont. Bugs plays every position including pitcher and catcher against the gashouse gorillas, its bugs bunny so the laws of physics go out the window. We have a conga line of batters around the bases, a bat boy that literally is bat ,a screaming line drive that is literally ball screaming. The ending of course is ridiculous any ball hit over the outfield wall in fair territory is home run catching it at the"umpire" state building doesn't matter.
The Rachel Maddow Show (2008)
mildly entertaining,somewhat informative
The show is just a propaganda show,and the host not really a reported, but a political preacher,preaching a very specific political,cultural,social point of view.They carefully cherry pick details of a story and pick guest for the sole purpose of towing the show's party line.They occasionally will have a guest that has a different point of view but not to learn , but to ridicule and endless interrupt him.Remember you learn from people you don't agree with.They carefully amplify the good and censor the bad for their side and do the opposite for their opponents.Overall the show is mildly entertaining and somewhat informative.
Haunts of the Very Rich (1972)
cheesy,at times good,bad ending
I remember seeing this when I was very young and again a few days ago because someone posted it on Youtube.This is a pretty poor movie made to appeal to the mass TV audience.The basic premise is good but this movie goes out of its way not to be clever or ironic.This first problem I have is the title. Do any of these people look very rich?And why were these people sent here? Have they really done some evil thing? I can see if they were a bunch of murders, but they seem like ordinary people who's only crime is over acting.Moses Gunn is great as the innkeeper and Robert Reed is very good too ,in fact he may be one of the most underrated TV actors around.But Ed Asner is just doing his Lou-grant-yelling-at-Ted-Baxter bit and Cloris Leachman is just too silly.The movie misses too many opportunities to be clever, how about a bunch of lit 'no exit' signs how about calling the innkeeper Mr 'Hell'man or Mr Devlin? instead of Mr. Seacrest. Come on now, lets try for a little imagination.The movie is also pretty murky and at times almost out of focus.Its also far too long ,this was made at a time when people had more patience and no remote controls.(SPOILER ALERT)The movie goes on and on and on and we finally get the point were they realize they might be dead.One guest had only packed a silver dress and shoes-something you bury a corpse in.Robert Reed had a few things you take to the beach because he drown there,the young couple were the only ones that packed because they were the only ones going to the airport when their car hit a tree and so on.I will put up with many things as long as the ending ties everything together and this movie has absolutely no ending, they just ran out of ideas and tacked on a silly slow-mo scene with Lloyd bridges and Cloris Leachman, the music is also silly. The should have used creepy music instead it sounds like something you hear in a doctors waiting room.Watch only for nostalgic reasons.
Let It Be (1970)
only for Beatles fans
Saw this movie when I was a kid and just saw it again a few days ago.First, the video quality is pretty bad, I mean ,this is the Beatles you think they would use good quality film equipment but the whole movie looks like those old 8mm home movies.Second, its hard to believe these guys created all those great songs, all I see is 4 guys just goofing around and mindlessly jamming.Without George martin there is no focus or direction.There is no insight to how the songs are created,just a random bunch of video clips.The producers should have taking one song and followed from the beginning to the final mix.But overall its still worth watching though it could have been much better done.
