Thanks, as always, for stopping by --

Do we really need another BluRay edition of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) when there are so many other great movies that have not yet made it to BluRay?
Thanks for the mention and the blogathon plug too! I'm really looking forward to the Gilmore Girls revival.
Thanks for the mention. i think you'd like Lady Gangster. I like Faye Emerson more and more.
I'm only on season one of Lawman. Lots to see.
Belated thanks for the links Laura! I'm so curious about that Little House movie. It could be pretty fantastic if they do it right.
