So true. I am reading about the Tudors and am amazed at the various ways Mary. Henry VIII's eldest daughter is portrayed
In one book she is a brave and independent Queen and in others she is a radical Catholic - burning heretics left and right and earning the name Bloody Mary. A lot seems to depend on the author and their point of view

Always enjoy Whitman!
Though I am a Donne man first!

A super episode!! I have the Complete Twilight Zone Series on DVD- have to say my favorite episode is the Ed Wynn/Murray Hamilton one- "A Pitch for the Angels"

agree!!! great thriller- perfect popcorn flick!

Ken wrote: "Love The Outlaw Josie Wales

Isn't that on TNT about twice a week? It's good but I don't need to memorize the dialog.

Remember when HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmasters On.""

Stefan wrote: "Still need to see JOHN CARTER!! Love The Outlaw Josie Wales though. Great flick!

Have a Happy 4th!"

Classics like Josie, Ken- when released on bluray- become almost like new films- you notice details you never noticed before- Like the exact number of wrinkles Chief Dan George has on his left nostril!
There such classics must be owned and watch over and over- like our favorite film John Carter!
