No TV Ratings for Friday Night's 'Dateline'

DATELINE on NBC. Last night's episode was called, "Deadly Swap" (3/15/2024). The website where I grab TV ratings did not report Friday's numbers. So, no TV ratings for this segment. 

Note: This was interesting because of the way the murder was pulled off. But - Police investigators were very smart. I just don't get why human beings resort to killing for such a small reason.

Classic Movie Flashback 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' 1988 with Bob Hoskins

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT distributed by BUENA VISTA (1988). The production budget climbed to $50 million and it grossed  $351 million at the world-wide box office. It would become the 2nd highest grossing movie in the U.S. It is behind "Rain Man." (Movie ticket price for 1988 was $4.11). 

The film scored 6 Oscar nominations in the technical categories. It was not nominated as Best Picture. It won 3 Oscars including Best Film Editing, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects. 

In 1988 - There was no animated category at the Oscars.

The story surrounds "Live" action characters and "Cartoon" characters who live side-by-side in 1947. Roger Rabbit (a Toon) is framed for a murder he didn't commit. A private eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) investigates even though he hates Toons.

This was the first and only time "Warner Bros." cartoon characters and "Disney" cartoon characters appeared onscreen together. (Bugs Bunny & Mickey Mouse). Both studios contractually worked out each scene where their cartoon characters had equal time.

Despite the tremendous success of the movie. There will never be a Sequel. Robert Zemeckis (Director) has always been open to making a 2nd film. So has the lead actor Bob Hoskins who unfortunately died in 2014. Filmmakers wanted to keep the original hand-drawn "artist" sketch-style. However, times have changed with animation growing into the digital age.

I recall watching this 5-times in a big movie theater back then. I loved it. 

"Rabbit" is now on Ultra HD Blu-ray and it looks Out-Of-This-World.!!

Below is the 25th Anniversary Trailer of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

"Godzilla: Minus One." The production budget climbed to $12 million and grossed $107 million at the world-wide box office. It grossed $56 million in the U.S to become the highest grossing non-English language film to date. 

"Godzilla: Minus Color." It had a one week run in the U.S. The black & white version received critical acclaim. 

Both versions will be released on Blu-Ray & DVD in Japan on May 1, 2024. No release date has been set for the U.S.

"Godzilla: Minus One" took home the Oscar as Best Visual Effects - Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi and Tatsuji Nojima. 

Note: I am not a Godzilla fan, but I walked into a movie theater to watch this. I was blown away by the story and of course the visual effects. I cannot wait to see the black & white version that is a throw back to the original 1954 version... Way cool.

Podcast 'Unsolved Mysteries' episode 'Double Murder'

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES podcast SPOTIFY. I am re-listening to intriguing episodes that lead to a deep mystery.

Great Waters, Georgia (2014) An 88-year-old man is found murdered inside his home garage. His head was cut off completely. His 87-year-old wife was missing and later found dead floating in a nearby lake. She was seriously bludgeoned to death. The killer tried to "weight" down the body so no one could find her.

Nothing was disturbed in the home. No signs of robbery. No human struggle. No fingerprints nor DNA evidence left behind by the killer(s). No blood was found except where the husband was killed. No one knows why? The couple had no enemies. But - Police investigators found an angry motive toward the wife because she was taken and later killed.

The couple was targeted by more than one killer whom they knew. They left behind nothing to identify themselves with investigators. Security cameras show nothing in the private gated community.

This case is still unsolved 10 years later and is still open.... It's a mystery folks. Take a listen.
