I agree. The correct phrasing these days should be "my Paypal account is taking a beating".This use of phrases such as "This is going to hurt my wallet" or "My wallet is taking a beating," etc., is getting old. It's a metaphor for your spending habits and mine, and our wallets have nothing to do with it. They are inert. We are, theoretically, intelligent. Can we retire those responses to every new announcement from TT or the Warner Bros Archives (along with "That said," and "That having been said," and "Having said that," and all the permutations of those words)? These have became way-y overused and cliché on this forum, and the latter one almost everywhere and for just about everything anyone says, as a sort of needless disclaimer. I don't happen to use either phrase or variation of them, although I've certainly fallen into the trap of using the once-expressive but now-almost-irrelevant word "great," which used to mean true excellence but now has simply become another way of saying, "I liked it."
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...
The announcement of SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON is just great (see above)! This will erase any need or desire to order the inferior Japanese release. I hold out hope that Warner Archives will continue on with their RKO titles, perhaps even including some or all of the Val Lewton 9 or BRINGING UP BABY or GUNGA DIN, etc.
Yeah...mine's about maxed out!I agree. The correct phrasing these days should be "my Paypal account is taking a beating".
Shared from the Warner Archive thread... "Silk Stockings" is coming too...

Looking forward to reading your impressions.I'm at the TCM fest and Love Me or Leave me is Friday a.m. and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is Sunday p.m. Looking forward to both. Will report!
They are certainly offering something for everyone: musicals, noirs, westerns, dramas, comedies without overloading on any one genre at the expense of the others. You do have to hand it to them. (Of course, they have such a vast list to choose from, every genre can be represented with ease.)There is no doubt about it...Warner Archive is having an amazing year.
