Ridgewood, RKO Madison, Willard and any 3 of your choice where roaches breed and bilge gets sumped ‘n’ pumped. LOL!
You’re welcome, Lost Memory. And thank YOU !
BklynJim, 6 / 14,300 = 0.0004196 = 0.04196 %, which is 4.2 percent of a percent. I agree, hardly worth getting anyone’s BVD’s, panties, thong or otherwise, into a knot.
Just for chuckles, what six theaters are those ?
“It’s my hope …” Yes, mine, too, and I couldn’t agree with you more !
Got 100%, mikemovies, but with a brief explanation: 2 I had known; 2 I knew because of discussions on CT; and 1 lucky guess (#3). Have already shared your URL with some Tor aficianados. Good catch! THX!
Speaking of sites and percentages, I’ll just throw this out as a math problem in perspective. The CT website boasts the listing of over 14,300 theaters. 6 are railed at for being having members considered to be OT: movie or actor discussions, and to a lesser extent, neighorhood friends and memories. Dividing the number of listings into the “bilge group” yields 0.0004195%, hardly worth getting anyone’s BVDs – or panties – into a knot.
It’s my hope that we can all try to understand that most members bring a little different expertise, knowledge, personality and even humorous and human viewpoints onto a pretty unique site, itself a treasure.
Thanks Peter. Its worth alot!
Lost Memory, for what it’s worth, I will continue to post whatever I want to.
Guys….There is no difference. Usually after a movie ad is posted, people start a conversation about that movie. In our case, we have a conversation about a movie without the ad. So what. That doesn’t make our comments “bilge”. “Warren” has already expressed what he wants this website to become. We had this discussion in another listing and no one agreed with him. He is determined to get his way no matter what. He is turning this website into Cinematour 2. And the sad thing is, people are allowing him to do it. People are leaving here because of his constant “barking”. No one will post any interesting theater stories because they are afraid that he will “bark” at them. Maybe its time to muzzle him. I might not succeed in stopping him, but I will put up one hell of a fight!
I got 4 out of 5 correct on the Tor trivia test. Better than I thought I would do. Thanks, mikemovies.
Lost Memory, rather than guess, I will let Warren speak for himself.
Don’t ask me, I’m guilty of both offenses!
Here is a simple question for the peanut gallery. What is the difference between posting a link to a movie ad for a theater and a few people posting comments about a movie that played at a theater? Why is the theater ad okay but the conversation about the movie is “bilge”? Maybe someone can enlighten me.
I found a website for Tor Johnson BrooklynJim. Try the trivia test. Very easy. Perhaps PKoch would like to try also. See who gets the best score.

Sorry to interrupt your message Jim, but I found another “Gem” posted by Warren and I would like to keep them all in one place for now. There are so many of them, I feel like I struck gold. He wants people to believe that these messages were written as a joke. Since he has demonstrated to us that he has no sense of humor, how could these messages be written in a joking way? Talk about an open and shut case!
“Frankie, you’re back! And right where you belong. Sniffing at colons!

whew!
An admirable job, mikemovies, on that Tor Johnson list. I sincerely thank you for your efforts (which, BTW, did not look sloppy at all). We can always refer folks over here if they need any TJ info.

Frankie and I are the same person? Thats funny “Warren”. Why would I use a “real” name of Frankie and then use this pseudonym for a name? Did the other member tell you privately that I am also Bela Lugosi, Jeffrey Dahmer and possibly Jay Leno? You make some of the most idiotic statements that I have ever read on a website. I’m sure that “another member posted me privately”. Well, I’m aware of who the cockroaches are on this site. Cockroaches usually travel in a group. Not a problem. “How would I track down a phantom? By hiring a private detective at $500 per hour?”. By the same token, how could I track you down? I guess that it isn’t possible then and you have nothing to worry about. And your threat against Frankie was “intended figuratively and not literally”? I doubt that very much. You might want to hire someone else to help write your comments since the one helping you now isn’t very good at it. Just a helpful tip. You do have the right to remain silent. It might be a smart move on your part to exercise that right.
“Lost Memory,” another member posted me privately that you and “frankie” are the same person. Until either or both of you reveal your true identities, I shall refrain from commenting on your posts. Those who hide behind pseudonyms surrender their rights to be treated like real people. I’m sure that anyone who read my “threat” against “frankie” for attacking me with the “S-word” knew it was intended figuratively and not literally. How would I track down a phantom? By hiring a private detective at $500 per hour?
Would you care to speak to a law enforcement agent? I can arrange that very easily. Did you or did you not post the second comment that I am going to paste here? You have threatened another member with bodily harm. That violates the rules of this website and is ILLEGAL. I’m waiting for your explanation.
“Warren, how come your shit don’t stink ? I have noticed you snide tone all over this site, and the smell of it doesn’t add cachet to your knowledge.

Frankie, how would you know? Have we ever shared a bathroom? If you ever again connect my name with the “s word,” I will hunt you down and beat the “s” out of you!

You seem to enjoy threatening people, particularly gay people. I have other comments which are similar to that one that you have posted. I am giving you an opportunity to explain to the other members here what your motive was when you made that comment.
“Lost Memory,” you’re not telling me anything that I don’t know already. I have never had any problems with listing my name, address, and phone number in directories. If problems should start now, I’ll know the source and will take appropriate action…It seems that you are the one “obsessed.” Why else would you go to the trouble of seeking out those details? I’ve never made a secret here of my identity, which appears in full on entry postings and with just my first name on follow-ups. Why would you need more than that for purposes of Cinema Treasures? Do you intend to visit or send a bomb in the mail? Thankfully, you goofed by admitting that you looked for my phone number and address, which is now on public record here and can’t be removed no matter how hard you might try.
I almost forgot, our surveillance cameras captured a photo of “Warren” leaving his home. It can be seen at this link. Thats a nice look but may I suggest less eyeliner next time. Don’t be offended, but you should do something with your hair. The Michael Jackson look is out this year.
“Warren”…In the world that we live in today, you have to conceal your identity on a website such as this one because of trolls like you. Your address and phone number can be found very easily. Would you like proof? You seem to be obsessed with my screen name. Is it my aftershave that attracts you, or are you just lonely?
BTW….Always look on the “Sunnyside” of the street! LOL
“Lost Memory,” anyone who conceals their identity behind a pseudonym has zero credibility with me, so the feelings are mutual.
Why does the cranky fella keep following us around? We are just conversing about old movies. I don’t understand why there is such a commotion made over it.
Another non-theater related Troll comment. Your getting very good at making those types of comments. The exact thing that you whine about, you do yourself. Cinema Treasures has excellent credibility. Your the one that lacks credibility. If you told me that it was raining outside I would still look out the window just to be sure. As for driving away people, you are the single most cause of people leaving this site with your constant moaning and groaning. Stop scaring away the customers.
It’s a shame to see yet another listing infested by members of the Off Topic Bilge Brigade, which is destroying the credibility of Cinema Treasures and driving away people dedicated to theatre history and research. Apparently, the managers of Cinema Treasures don’t give a damn, or they would have stopped it by now.
It looks kind of messy but I don’t know why.

Welcome back, EdSolero! (Hope you either drove or ditched your tube of toothpaste with TSA and all the other Bushketeers.)
LM, rumors abound that “Black Sleep” will be released on DVD later this month or next. Previously available only on a bootleg video from PA.
Peter (“Kill! Kill!! KILL!”) Punster, yer killin' ME! AAARRRRGGGHHHH!
I’m pushing for a Tor Johnson Film Festival. 31 movies, I’m told. Care to do the research on this, mikemovies? :)–
The Lugosi clips were filmed when Ed Wood still had a few coins in his pocket back in ‘56 and later inserted into “Plan 9” with Wood’s dentist. It’s now available on DVD in a colorized version.
In 1957, with the advent of “Shock Theatre” on NY TV Channel 7 (ABC), we nutsy kids actually would use a pay phone booth at a dime a pop to call the station. We’d ask to speak to Karloff and/or Lugosi. We were told that Boris was filming something-or-other in England, and that Lugosi was also out of the country. You bet he was – with the undead. They were sharp receptionists who didn’t want to shatter l'il kids' dreams: the dissipated Lugosi had finally crapped out a year earlier from the ravages of las drogas.
