I like this season's FA signings, although some of those young Giants pitchers will have to get their mechanics issues straightened out in AAA. Have Sergio Romo teach all of them the "slider of death."
Giants' outfield defense has been less than scintillating in the past two seasons, so I'm glad he's on the team.
Got to see this great movie at the Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, CA during the Bette Davis Centennial retrospective. Yep, Ann Dvorak's character is doomed.
That reminds me of. . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uOu...
Tough to see as a diehard San Francisco Giants fan, but Shohei is equivalent to Ichiro + Babe Ruth. Wish we had a Juan Marichal or Gaylord Perry pitching against L.A.
Stand-ups seen frequently on The Ed Sullivan Show a couple of years before this movie was made: Jackie, Alan King and Joan Rivers. Also recall seeing Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin and Richard Pryor on Sullivan.
String swing
I remember when curve baller Kirk Reuter pitched for the San Francisco Giants during Dusty Baker's stint as manager. Reuter won 100 games but rarely topped 84MPH on the gun. Barry Bonds said "Woody's great, but he couldn't break glass."
This gets me thinking of Night School High Q from SCTV.
Good work! Been enjoying TREK POLITICS.
When I asked jazz pianist Jaki Byard about musicians I should check out, he mentioned Clyde Hart.
My dad took me out to classic movie revivals and I thank him to this day! At "Termite Terrace," Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Frank Tashlin, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett and (later) animators-turned-directors Robert McKimson and Arthur Davis all featured their own variations of the Oscar-winning rabbit.
She's related to dapper silent movie star Sidney Drew, who starred in sophisticated comedies for Vitagraph and Metro. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiov...
She's outstanding in WOMAN ON THE RUN (1950).
John Garfield?
I recommend the ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS episode starring Tony Randall as a hard-drinking, violent and psychotic film/television director, and co-starring Jayne Mansfield in a non-blonde bombshell part. therokuchannel.roku.com/details/e359...
Enjoyed listening to Jon Miller and Duane Kuiper on my MacBook, here in my new home, upstate New York. Saw lots of Giants baseball at Candlestick Park many moons ago.
My dad's favorite movie and one I need to watch on Blu-ray, along with a few Orson Welles directorial efforts.
Gotta see that! It was a big day when one of my film buff pals showed up with a Kodachrome reel from INVADERS FROM MARS. Later rented a 16mm print of Menzies' THE WIZARD'S APPRENTICE. Somewhere in the stack of reels in storage I have the trailer to THINGS TO COME.
Hope Ryan Walker, Keaton Winn, Hayden Birdsong and Tristan Beck pitch as if their lives are on the line and Spencer Bivens does his best Yusmeiro Petit impersonation in 2026. Could just ONE speedy young OF hit over .250? 90+ wins and WC possible? Padres and Diamondbacks are NOT juggernauts.
Down the road from you in Kingston, NY, I listen to your podcast.
Alex deserves big time kudos for his contributions to several John Mullaney mini-musicals on SNL.
Circus performer Poodles Hanneford is the little guy.
Thanks for your splendid work on the Showbiz Imagery and Forgotten History website, Kliph. Was 4 years old when I saw The Nairobi Trio on TV - and it's no accident that at 46 I could be found schlepping 16mm projectors and reels to various venues. There's something about making audiences laugh.
