What will you be watching on TV tonight (2024)?

I saw them one by one as them were released. I don't like the new versions.

I would agree with that about the new versions, no one can top Charleton Heston, James Franciscus (who was so handsome) and Roddy McDowell. I too saw them one by one as they were released, but when they had that marathon day where 4 of them were played in succession, it was pretty cool.

Edit to add: that was in the early 70s, of course, and it was before #5 was made (which wasn't nearly as good).

You heard Wagner and were blown away, went to a marathon of operas and it put you off him for life? Is that right?
Amazing what a torture chamber can do to your tastes?!

Tannhauser is a good opera; classic, and not too long. "I was duped, miss!" The Ring is the difference between diving off the high board in a swimming pool, and diving over the Niagara falls...
