I wonder how many people younger than 40 can name the Stoogies without using google (hint, there were actually six different actors used in the group at various times). Larell (sp?) and Hardy as well as Abbot and Costello are some other big comedy acts who were huge in their time, but are possibly becoming forgotten.

The ball will never be caught!" A; "Nobody catches lots of balls." C: Getting agitated. "How can anybody catch a ball when Nobody's in left field!" A: "Nobody can catch his own balls. There's no need for Anybody to catch them for him." C: "But there's nobody in left to catch the ball!" A: "Of course! He's the left fielder." C: Extremely agitiated..."Isn't <somebody> going to catch a ball hit to left field?" A: "Of course not. Why would he be over in left field?" C: Befuddled..."I just thought somebody would want to catch the ball." A: "Only when he's playing his position. There he catches lots of balls." C: "His position?" A: "Yes. He's our right fielder. You can't have an outfield without a right fielder." C: "But you have an outfield with nobody in left!" A: "Why not? He's a great fielder." C: "Why don't you have somebody in both left and right fields?" A; "One man can't play both positions, that's impossible!" C: (Pulling himself together.) "Is there a center fielder?" A: "One of the best! Anybody." C: "Anybody can play center field?" A: "He could play center field on any team!" C: "How did he get on your team?" A: "We traded six players to get him." C: "Your team was willing to trade 6 players for anybody?" A: "In a heartbeat. We suckered the other team!" C: “Can anybody hit a home run?” A: “Lots of them. Nobody has a higher batting average, though.” C: “What kind of outfield do you have when everybody’s batting average is below nobody’s?” A: “You’ve been looking at our bench roster. . . “ (PD by the author, RSE.) |

It will be interesting to see how things shake out. Logically, I think that many of these movies will end up in streaming movie services. However, so many movie companies look at their catalogue as a gold mine and try to extract every last penny they can out of it, pricing themselves out of the market of what people are willing to pay to access such a service. Customers have to know that they want to watch a particular movie before they will buy it. Much of the time that requires seeing it on something they already are paying for. |

Again, you are confusing cultural significance with commercial value. They aren't the same thing. The Transformers movies have tremendous commercial value and no cultural significance.

I can say my nieces have watched Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid movies ad nauseum. Snow White, if they know her at all, they know because she's on the merchandise with the rest. I have no kids, yet in my family, I'm the only one that actually owns a copy of Snow White. |

I don't remember the title of the 18th century book that is utterly despised by most professors of theology, that is one of the five most cited works, in papers written by undergraduate theology students. The reason it is cited so much, is that it is on either Google Books or Internet Archive, and "looks like it is theologically reliable". Amber |
