I may've posted something like this before, but the youtube algorithm just came up with the closing credits for me and that reminded me of the movie's fantastic opening....many here already know these scenes, but both the opening and closing are still very clever for a 65-year-old flick, I think.....graphic designer Saul Bass and his wife are responsible for this what must've been pretty radical stuff for 1961 (vertical lines??? - what could that possibly mean??!!)......AI summary for Saul Bass: 
Saul Bass designed the iconic opening for West Side Story, transforming credits from simple lists into a narrative prologue using abstract lines, shifting colors, and eventually filmed aerials of Manhattan, introducing the city's tone and gang rivalry before the story begins, a groundbreaking integration of graphic design with live action. He and his wife, Elaine Makatura Bass, also created the graffiti-style closing credits, linking the film's tragic end to its urban setting, making the sequences a distinct part of the movie's identity
always cool to watch plus Bernstein's work to boot......stay with both to the very "end"........full screen and volume up!......

It should be noted that Gutfeld and the network late night talk shows do not start and end at the same time. The Nielsen ratings quoted attribute the time for Gutfeld as 10pm  where as Kimmel and the rest of the network shows are attributed to 11:35pm. There is quite a difference in the universe of people watching television between those two time periods. When looking at social media platforms that bring true late night reach into focus, the description of “horrible ratings” given to JK is very inaccurate

The ratings quoted earlier are based on total audience but when you look at the most coveted demo for advertisers (Adults 18-49), all three network late shows outpace Fox News with Kimmel and Colbert running almost equal. Fox News may have have higher numbers in the daypart but their audience is way older. As someone who has spent a good amount of his career involved in network television, it is all about reaching the target audience who has the greatest buying power. XXXX

The show was lame but the three programs that won big awards totally deserved them. Adolescence was incredible.  The Pitt was excellent and Noah Wylie was amazing.  The Studio is a clever satire that was super entertaining

Really looking forward to this.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

A great way to end the season. Can't wait for next season. Give Jean Smart another Emmy> Can't wait to see her nest month on Broadway!

I’m finally reading the big bestseller DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver — which was inspired by DAVID COPPERFIELD by Dickens, but tackles poverty and Opioid addiction in Appalachia. It’s a total page turner so far. 

I really liked the film. Thought it was very original and interesting.

I really liked the film. Yes, very much like Ridley but I loved how it all unfolded with some very disturbing scenes that really pushed the boundaries of what is in movies today. Great soundtrack. Been listening to the playlist on Spotify all weekend!

Agree. I liked to see each guy in his own uniform instead of looking at their sleeve to see from what team. The miked thing fails in what it needs to do more times than it works. 

I thought it was a terrific book.  Well researched about the British view of WWI and very moving characters.

One of my all time favorites - watched it 3 times.  Twin Peaks 
 

Saw it last week and thought it was terrific.  Performances were stellar.  It's been at the TKTS booth for awhile for all performances.  We scooped up 6th row orchestra at $100 each!

I have had pretty good experienced with guys living here in Atlanta from both RentMassuer and Massuerfinder. As in any big city, there will be good and not so good. There are a few I consider “regulars” for different seasons.
