Thanks. I'm sure I'll be fine by morning. I was feeling great until about an hour after I ate and then, well, I don't need to describe it.
Shrink's symptoms are largely gone now and he's just weak and tired.
Well, for you, I'd recommend rest, sleep, and plenty of hydration (when your stomach feels up to it). Yes, you'll be fine, but that sort of rapid.rejection is violently upsetting to even the healthiest of individuals..
For Shrink, I'd imagine that he will need quite a few days of rest while he sets about the business of recuperation; even once the immediate symptoms have passed, he will need several days of relaxing recovery - just rest, and a nice warm quite space, allowing himself a bit of that lovely American expression (which is, for once, used in what I would consider the proper context here), namely, 'chilling'..

Excellent! Enjoy it!
I did, although the image quality was pretty poor. I'll look for a better quality version to buy, because I definitely want to see it again.
Yeah, most of the videos I've watched from there aren't the best quality. Kind of disappointing really, considering its a site dedicated to the preservation of the genre. But I don't let it stop me from enjoying them.
From yesterday: The Living Daylights and the original Planet of the Apes.
Our house have officially deemed Mr. Dalton our favorite Bond. The movies might not have been so great, but he was terrific.
Just finished scrolling through Rick Baker's Twitter account. Lots of great movie memories there, lifted my spirits too.

I saw TCM aired the two Planet of the Apes films last night. Is that where you happened to view it?
With that said (above) I'm now watching Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) recorded on TCM last night.
Yes sir. I hope you enjoy Beneath... as wonky as that was (the cult makes me LOL.)

Rewatched God Forgives...I Don't! I preferred Terence Hill as a bad ass over his comedic "Nobody" films... such a great film title too.

When I was 15, Planet of the Apes came out (1968). A friend's Mom invited us to go to the movies, and the choice was PotA or Gone With The Wind. Guess what we chose? However 10 years later I finally had the pleasure to see GwtW.

TCM is presenting Gone With The Wind in select theaters on September 28th and October 1st.

If my schedule allows, I may try to go see it.
Mine too. That hair!
I also like Lazenby quite a bit, probably the opposite way though: great movie while he's more of an average actor - still a nice Bond imo. Have to watch it again some time, think it was a more realistic and down to earth - can't stand most of the campy Moore ones any more (never noticed as a kid lol)
Contraband, meh. Had its moments but overall pretty mediocre - ending was a bit off (and not in a good 'Fulci'-way). Better than expected but worse than I hoped for - if that makes any sense.

Got me the True Detectives set and will watch that one again as soon as possible.
Im seriously thinking about taking my Mom. Probably her favorite film of all time, its playing about 30 minutes away.

Yeah, the nearest theater where's it is showing near me is about 30 or 40 minutes away too.
I'm sure your mom would love to go see it with you!

Sean Connery In From Russia With Love was the best bond. Daniel Craig is the first true Bond since Connery. All the others were Bond caricatures, especially Roger Moore. Frankly I don't remember LazenBy, so he is exempt.
Don't try to argue!

Granted, George Lazenby himself was a pretty weak James Bond, but the movie was excellent, the music outstanding, and his female partner (played brilliantly, by Diana Rigg, an excellent actress), was the only Bond 'girl' (in this case woman), who was a strong character in her own right, who was brave, clever, stylish, confident, and who was his social, intellectual and classy equal. Which, of course, is why they married, and which is probably also why, she was killed, a fact which also makes 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' the only Bond movie to have a tragic, rather than a happy, ending.
So, notwithstanding a poor enough Bond (which is a pity), the movie was excellent and broke the mould in a number of ways.

It can be reasoned that the Daniel Craig Casino Royal had a tragic ending while rolling seamlessly into Quantum of Solace. Combined, in the world of 007, they were exquisite. These are probably my favorites, even more so than FRWL, which was a budding teenager's infatuation. What I most appreciate in CR is that the stunts were believable versus Pierce Bronson, who as I recall jumped off a cliff to catch a diving airplane... over the edge for my suspension of disbelief.

Now, here you have me.
I confess that I have not seen the recent Bond movies, though I am well aware that 'Casino Royale' (the modern, that is, Daniel Craig, version, not the slightly camp, sometimes funny, sixties send up with David Niven and Woody Allen) is highly regarded and was very well reviewed when it came out first.
However, - while I shall watch it when opportunity offers - I still admit to a certain liking for OHMSS, for the reasons alluded to above.

LOLOL. In our casa, it's Dalton shaken, not stirred.

Dalton's voice makes us swoon. You can keep his hair.
Yeah, dear ol' dad took me to see the Moore Bonds and I hated them then. Way too campy and Roger (bless that Saint) feels too old for Bond for me.
Lazenby was the villain in some film I saw recently. Don't remember what though.
Contraband - yeah I felt the same way. Fulci made some terrific gialli, okay westerns and well those sick as hell zombie films but his crime movies were probable the weakest of them. I also felt like Lucio had no idea what to do with Fabio Testi (whereas Enzo Castellari knew exactly what to do with him and did it ridiculously well.)
Enjoy True Detective season 1. Again.

Oh that's terrific you saw the original Apes on the big screen.
Movies I watched this evening:
Young Frankenstein
Saving Mr. Banks (boy that was depressing. Well acted though.)
Might sneak in one more tonight...
Roger Moore, well I was way too young back then and loved every Bond film no matter what. It's just now that I 'discovered' that I actually find them surprisingly dull and campy in a not so good way - won't touch them and try to keep the good memories - although that will be hard as well since the Ken Adam sets are just too good to be true. The rest of the lot is fine.
Hmm, Enzo Castelli and Testi..can you give a hint? Saw that Testi played in Barbarella and Once Upon a Time in the West
(as well as that Solange film I see every other DVD trailer featuring. Good?)

1) Agreed on Moore.
2) Fabio has very tiny roles in Barbarella and OUATITW. He was still a stunt man then (and boy did he earn his lira in his 1 minute stunt for Once. Ouch!) Not worth buying those films (if you do not own them already) for him.
3) Enzo Castellari made a couple of great westerns and killer 70s police films. He produced a couple of fine works with Franco Nero, but his films with Fabio Testi are fantastic.
If you can find an Italian Dub/German/English subtitle dvd for The Big Racket - go for it. The film looses a bit of it's very nasty punch with the English dub.
My personal favorite Castellari/Testi film is The Heroin Busters. Most people prefer Racket, but I am not most people.
Fabio has terrific chemistry with David Hemmings (Deep Red, Barbarella and Blow Up), the film is funny, crazy and has a nearly 30 minute chase scene. 4) Yes. If you can find What Have They Done to Solange? Go for it. That is my favorite non-Argento giallo and considered one of the best ever made. I agree with that 100%
