Interesting...is the movie any good? You said it has a good cast, but...that doesn’t always make a good movie, as we know.

I would like to check it out...

A an aside from the website IMDB:

” (February 5, 2014) (Nimoy) Announced that he is suffering from a lung disease known as Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary Disease, one month after he was seen in a wheelchair in New York.”

were Miss Remick alive today, I’d leave Mrs Llevrok for her.

She was right up there with Grace Kelley, IMHO

Just now starting to discover some of the older movies (older to me means anything before 1980). Many of them were quite good and I'd like to discover all of them.

I was thinking of watching every movie ever made in chronological order. English speaking movies, of course. I don't think I'll live long enough to see all the foreign movies too.

I was wondering if there was a list of every single movie ever made out on the Internet. I would start with the first one ("Horse in Motion" from 1878) and work my way forward.

Eventually I hope to see them all!

The sequel to The Detective was Roderick Thorp’s book called Nothing Lasts Forever. In the book, Joe Leland finds himself in a high-rise office tower battling terrorists.

Frank Sinatra did not want to do the sequel.

Instead, the sequel was done in 1988 with Bruce Willis, and a few of the names were changed (but not all).

It was called Die Hard. It did pretty well.

I saw that movie once on TV (not all the way through) I thought it was interesting in that it included a lot of themes and topics that would continue to be part of detective movies and TV shows for quite a while.

The man to the right is in a tan raincoat. It's Leonard Nimoy!? I'd swear it's him being used as an extra. He simply disappears off screen.

It's because Spock has to have sex once every seven years or he goes crazy. Remember that Star Trek episode?

The real question to ask is not whether that is Spock, but whether it is the Spock from our past or the Spock from our future?

Maybe it is Evil Spock. Was he wearing a Van Dyke?

Happened all the time in films. Jack Nicholson is in a brief scene in the movie “Ensign Pulver” as the radio operator. I do believe he made into the credits, but not sure

Well, I watched Samuel Bronston's "El CID" with Heston and Loren. The special edition DVD set has amazing commentary and a 1-hour commentary on Bronston's amazing studio set up in Franco's Spain. He had become partners with Pierre DuPont, who guaranteed his financing. Bronston would finance the next picture (current picture) on the success of the previous one.. As soon as he had a flop, though, he was in trouble. He almost bankrupted DuPont!

Anyway, the commentary, by Bronston's son and a film historian, is pretty good and there is no denying that this was a true epic movie.

Hmmm...I’d doubt it was Nimoy. He was already an established actor, at least on TV, by 1968.

It was a great book and a great movie. Where did you see it?
I haven’t seen it on my cable system.
