“[S]ome people don’t know the glory of black and white, whether movies or comics.”

Being of an age, I now have this image of Myrna Loy and William Powell in “Frank Capra’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”…

(Which, come to think of it, may just describe “Grendel”.)

Oh, now you’re making me worry that I’m doing something wrong with my comic posts! Seriously, thank you. Although that last thought saddens me, I’m sure you’re right… some people don’t know the glory of black and white, whether movies or comics.

I don’t think you’re wandering with your TCM posts, either. I originally came to read about comics, but now I look forward to classic movie posts more. I can’t imagine you’d need much more encouragment to continue with your TCM posts than the thought that many people today have never seen a Cary Grant movie or a Barbara Stanwyck movie or a William Powell & Myrna Loy movie.

Feedback’s always appreciated, Tim! That’s a good idea. And I’m very pleased that you like reading them. They can be a bit of work to put together, and I sometimes wonder that I’m wandering too far afield from the site’s original purpose. Thanks for the affirmation.

I love the TCM posts. Would it be rude to suggest that you parenthetically mention the year of the film’s release? In this case I was curious when the Marked Women film came out (1937). Ignore if this is too much work. I’m grateful for the info these posts already offer, thanks…

Ah, Barbarella. The first film I saw with nudity. (Sorry, TMI…) Also great for the character Dr. Durand Durand (played by Milo O’Shea [no relation]) which inspired the band name Duran Duran…
