Really? Most of what I consider good movies I've seen more than once.
Some, like the original "King Kong", probably 50 times or more.

Oh, I thought that's what you meant by that. We -are- talking about the
Errol Flynn version, right?

Water in the ears makes the brain soggy, too. However, the mind is the
_second_ thing to go.

I remember most movies I've seen, even obscure gems like "Bosom Babes
from Addis Ababa". <g>

Well, ya gotta admit, they make everyone else look good.

Can't recall the street or area of Studio City I stayed in, but it was a
house-behind-a-house on the same (fairly large) lot. 'Probably worth a
couple mill today.

"Redirection" is a more standards-compliant way of putting it.
