    Any "Film Noir" experts here?

    When I was about 6-8 years old, my mother took me to a theater and we saw some film noir sometime between 1956-1960. The movie ended when a big man "stalked" and choked a smaller man (to death?) after the smaller man emptied his handgun into the big man. The scene unraveled as a...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    I considered listing him, but then I decided on only guys who could act, and not those who get work because they're related to famous and powerful directors. No offense meant, Father O.

    Movie Theater Needs some action... The top Ten Movie Scenes of All Time. What is yours?

    Yazzum!! 'Giri' in Scandinavia. I wish they'd release the extended version but that's a pipe dream because it was such a flop.

    DAAYYummmm. Are you still here, Bill? I'll vouch for him, Bender (I know you're just kiddin') because I remember BW73 damn near poppin' the same line at ~7 posts. Bender, Lindy, Medic Jim, Ray always with the IORs--turned me on to my first "quality" spotting scope, the old IOR Valdada--man...

    Questions on private-firearms-policy coverage..

    I can think of one situation without pondering. If I was picked up by EMT's for some condition that rendered me unconscious. Less of the speculative WAG-type answers would be appreciated.

    Questions on private-firearms-policy coverage..

    I hope someone can answer my question(s); they're all related to what "COLLECTIBLES INSURANCE SERVICE" calls 'away from premises' loss...

    Recommend a good book to learn chess

Prolly the only guy there who remembers "Crusader Rabbit". Since the club is so small, average turn out for a chess night is maybe 25-35 people. Sometimes...
