Thanks kindly, Mr. Write. I wasn't too clear on the "Fantasia 2000" connection, but you've cleared that up. I can imagine what a Hirschfeld caricature of Woollcott might've looked like - an owl comes to mind... I shall return with a question, as soon as I can devise one.

I want my MAYPO!

Yeah, what you said. David, too many Bunuel movies will make you talk like that. ;-) Message was edited by: wordmaster

Well, that would make me [at 50]...pretty older? Let me tell you, it's not that pretty...yet...but then I'm not awake.

Alexander Woollcott?

No worries, Sam. I'm a bit of a music geek, so information of this type tends to rattle around in my brain and tumble out without much prodding. Hmmmm...MaestroMot...not bad [files for future reference].

excuse me...but has anyone seen my pointless needle?

very cool...and you're not that old, I'm sure. I love "the rail song"...I just have an old cassette of "Twang Bar King" that got me through university while all my vinyl was at home. I've only seen Ade perform a couple of times - back in the late 70's while on tour with Bowie, and then with Crimson on "The Power to Believe" tour recently. I have his autograph and some autographed guitar picks from then. We can talk about other stuff later, if you want. wordmaster [a Crimson fan since the beginning]

How do you know about 'fish head'? Just curious... Message was edited by: wordmaster

Oh, have you read "Confessions of a Lion Tamer" by Claude Baddeley?

Yes, and I am reading "The Agonies of a Russian Hurdler" by Ivan Toriznutzoff.

no, David. This is the thread where you can say: what how when why where you want. like this. blancmange

hello there... Could it be "A Summer Place" [1959]? Take a look at the plot summary on this site's Movie Database or www.IMDb.com, to see if this rings a bell with you. Welcome to our message board. Enjoy yourself. Wander around. wordmaster

re: Van Heflin His performance in "Johnny Eager" as Jeff Hartnett [which won him an Academy Award] is worth watching, I believe. Message was edited by: wordmaster

"Tropical hot dog night...like two flamingos in a fruit fight..." [Don Van Vliet]

The car was an Aston Martin [DB5, I think]. Only two gadgets come to mind, though...smoke screen and oil spill. [Did one of the Bond cars have blades that came out from the wheels to shred tires?]

Robert Mitchum. Oh, the stories he could tell...

Count me as another Dorothy McGuire fan. "Till the End of Time" is a sorely underappreciated film; it was one of the first films I ever saw with Dorothy, and the first time I saw Guy Madison also. There's something about the directness of the film and the way it dealt with their relationship that really made an impression on me. It was probably one of the few roles that Guy Madison could handle well, given his lack of formal training. "Trial" - I can't wait to see that one; this time, Dorothy's with two great actors, Glenn Ford and the underrated Arthur Kennedy. "The Enchanted Cottage" is a curious film but worth seeing, all you romance fans out there, for its message about the universality of love.

Maybe somebody can refocus this thread. I don't like where this is going... I feel somewhat responsible for this foolishness. I'll return later with some film suggestions.

HUH???? That must've been some "Maui Wowie" we were doing - that flew right by me...

This is what I said, and meant. VOICE FROM OFFSTAGE: "Hey, don't bogart that joint! Keep passing it around..." Rename the thread - I don't care. Let's have fun now. Everyone, into the pool!

I am perfectly happy with leaving the list untouched and letting either Jump Raven or our festival's prospective host deal with it, in the spirit of free speech. I am not some egghead fascist who needs to micro-manage [i almost wrote 'mangle'] things for my or anyone's benefit. Let's feed the beast, and figure out our next move once this thread has run its course.

My question is, then: Are we making a list of junk for the sake of making a list or do we want to do something with it? If it's just for our own amusement, fine - forget everything I said. If not, then let's start thinking about what we want to do with it.

Regrettable. Am I totally out to lunch here? If so, let me know. It's an idea I'm perfectly willing to retract if the majority thinks it's not appropriate.
