"We watched Babylon (2022). Do not recommend. There is so much wrong with this movie -- primarily the last third of a three-hour-and-nine-minute movie, which should be a clue -- that you don't want to get me started."
"Huh. Interesting. I'd heard of ham radio, but I hadn't made the connection to it being the same thing as a "radio amateur."
Now that I think about it, I remember hearing about how kids who lived way out in the Australian Outback used to receive…"
"Back in April 2024, when I watched the first of them, I posted: "Some time ago, someone on this board (I don't recall who) recommended three movies: Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, Women of the Prehistoric Panet and The Wizard of Mars," so…"
"Some time ago, someone on this board (I think it was Richard Willis) recommended (well, "mentioned") three movies. Tonight I found them jotted down on a piece of paper.

"Flash goes to look for the lawyer in the "Lawyers Building," which I guess is where lawyers hang around waiting for superheroes to find them.
Actually, the Lawyers Building was an office building named for Throckmorton P. Lawyers, who had been…"
"BELL, BOOK & CANDLE (1958):
Another Christmas movie. A man (Jimmy Stewart) falls in love with a witch (Kim Novak), but is it his own idea, or is he under a spell? The witch's aunt (Elsa Lanchester) is also a witch, and her brother (Jack Lemmon) is a…"
"THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944):
I didn't know much about this movie prior to watching it apart from an oblique reference to it in Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. It is about a six year old girl, obviously on the autistic spectrum, whose family,…"
"One of the actors was interviewed for the DVD extra and, from the way he discusses the film, you'd think he was Laurence Olivier or something.

I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE:
Found this for free on Zone-ify. It was really quite impressive. I liked it at least as much as several better known genre movie from the same era I could name. The cinematograpy was stunning…"
HI, I think I have unboxed you but...I am coming to the end of my `INVADERS` thread and would like to do a similar issue-by-issue critique of the Avengers - but not wanting to step on your "Baron 're-reads" early Avengers thread - I was thinking of beginning from #150 -? Would that be okay with you?
Hi Mr Baron sir,
I was wondering - I have just about 'caught-up' with my 'INVADERS' thread - going issue by issue through their history - and I'm scrambling looking for another series with which to critique in the same vein.
I am very aware of your 're-reads' and the recent 'Avengers' issues you've covered.
Unless you have any great desire to do so yourself or any objection at all -- I would like to take up the Avengers as a series from about #150 onwards...?
I reckon by then the earliest stuff - Kaps Kooky Quartet - Vision - Squadron supreme - KreeSkrull war - Avengers-Defenders war - even the Celestial madonna stuff is all over and the team and the title kind of entered a new phase that I'd love to pick up from.
If you DID intend on covering those issues etc I would of course quite happily go find some other series to wax lyrical about.
I do think the 'early Avengers' and this later phase could even run alongside quite easily as threads?
I don't mind. I usually tell people it's proncounced marconnay. When explaining it to people I tell them it's mark an A, like when you tell your teacher to "Mark an A on your test"

Anyway, how would you feel?
Please be candid.
Thanks

Gah! So much Tartan!
Anyway, this time-wasting web page mentions two of your favourite things, so I thought I'd share.
