And I do still have a working VCR (with Star Wars VHS tapes, though my wife got rid of all my other VHS tapes) not to mention a DVD player and Blu-Ray player. One good thing about all that stuff is that I don't have to worry about having an internet connection, let alone a fast one. I plan on keeping my DVD players as long as they work. With a digital collection, you don't need an internet connection to play it on your pc. And you can connect your pc directly to the TV if you prefer and play it on the big screen without internet as well In fact, sometimes I read digital comics on my TV

It's also interesting to note that on this particular month, about half of the marvel Comics look to be all reprints. Sgt Fury was reprint every other month, the monster/horror/western books look to be all reprint too. possibly the romance books as well. Martin Goodman always had a publishing philosophy of flooding the newstands with his company's titles, and the cheapest way to do so was with reprints

My Top 10 movies from 1959
Ben-Hur Compulsion Eyes Without A Face Hole in The Head Journey To The Center Of The Earth Mouse That Roared North By Northwest On The Beach Rio Bravo Some Like It Hot World, The Flesh And The Devil
I had a fascination when I was young of scenes showing completely empty Manhattan streets. Hence The World, The Flesh And The Devil starring Harry Belafonte, Inger Stevens and Mel Ferrer. Hole In The Head with Frank Sinatra is another guilty pleasure

Next up for my classic TV watch is My Living Doll ran for 1 season, 26 episodes on CBS Robert Cummings plays a NASA psychiatrist who is reluctantly entrusted with the agency's top secret life-like robot for outer space experiments. He's told to look after her in his bachelor's pad for several months and takes it as an opportunity to develope her into the "perfect woman" (Do as you are told and keep your mouth shut) (It's the early 60's folks). She has a computer brain but when told something illogical she always replies 'That does not compute" which supposedly the show made that phrase commonplace. Only 11 of the 26 episodes are on the DVD, the only collection ever issued Back in a week with comments

Just a few episodes to watch for the TV series Branded with Chuck Conner. Some good and some not so good comments Overall, the series is decent. The 2nd season is in color. Some good guest stars like Burt Reynolds, Martin Landeau, Johnny Crawford (Conner's son on The Rifleman). Conner is aways charismatic, does many of his own stunts and horesback riding. The show occasionally deals with real-life characters like President Ullyses Grant, P.T. Barnum, John Wilkes Booth's brother Edward, Mr. Seward of the Alaskan Seward Folly Purchase, General Custer and more. 2 annoying things. The DVD collection uses the syndicated episodes meaning about 2 minutes was editted from each show. Quite noticeable since minus the opening and ending credits, the original show had about 23 minutes of material and the 2 minute edit means about 10% of the show is missing The other problem is the show's premise. Jason McCord blacks out at a battle which his entire calvary troop, 30 men, are massacred. He does not know why he survived or why he was removed from the scene of battle. He's court-martailed on circumstancial evidence Here's the problem-McCord chooses not to defend himself or try to clear his name. He does not want to besmirch the reputation of the man in charge of the calvary troop, even though he was incompetant and already dead. McCord actully destroys physical evidence that would have exonerated him.So the whole series has McCord drifting around with really no purpose or plan except giving dirty looks at people who call him coward. Add to the fact a flashback episode where McCord saved the life of General Grant during the Civil War. And 3 different shows where McCord goes on secret missions at President Grant's request. You'd think President Grant in return would do something to help McCord's reputation in return? Nope But I did enjoy watching the show. Quick Western half-hour, competently written and acted. I'll get to the Rifleman later down the road

And the Yankees slide back in sub-mediocrity losing back-to-back games against the awful Oakland As. During these last 7 weeks cellar-dwelling performance, the starting pitching has been pretty good. It's the offense that has sputtered too many times and the relief pitching blowing games with many of the best bullpenners out on injuries
