Yes he is a real crazy orange cat, but I love him and his brothers Mojo and Napoleon. (Also male and orange) They are part of the family. I can't imagine life without them. Are you a pet lover? Do you have any you want to brag about?

I agree but the story showed that Newman did have scruples when he did not accept the money that Vince was trying to give him for throwing the match against him. At that point you realized that Felson had somewhat matured and would not succumb to take the easy money that was offered to him by Vince. Do you agree?

I think Paul Newman was more suave and street wise in the "Color Of Money" which I enjoyed more than "The Hustler", because of his training "Vince" ( Tom Cruise) in the secrets of becoming a real hustler.

Sorry I had my cat Merlin biting my moving hands with that typing error. Ask BobHopeFan1940. she can verify that I have a cat that likes to bite moving hands as I type as I posted on her Thanksgiving thread the other night. Thank you for pointing it out to me though, he's still biting my hand as I'm typing this!

Good point filmlover, sounds like something that Truman would say. I think that if the McCarthy hearings were held during his term ,Truman would not have allowed to have it gone as far as it did. The fact that sneaky weasel Bobby Kennedy was involved in the hearings also gave it an odorous smell. As far as Truman goes the proof about his commitment is the fact that he took a stand against General McArthur in the invasion of North Korea and stood his ground when popular opinion was on the side of McArthur. Truman was a tough cookie and didn't hesitate to speak his mind even if it was unpopular,a trait that I admired in him.

Edward R. Morrow blew the lid off the Joseph McCarthy Hearings in the 1950's. He had the guts to confront that obsessive jerk who accused everyone of being a Communist. It is a shame that Murrow died at such a young age from cancer. His show "Harvest of Shame" in 1960, showed the Amerian people the terrible working conditions of migrate workers... We could only imagine what his view on Viet Nam with LBJ in his dictator handling of the war would have been. Also The sneaky Bastard Nixon with his Watergate fiasco and the mishandling of the First Iraq war by George Bush Sr.when he stopped at he gates of Baghdad. The only on who comes close to Morrow today is Bill Maher but he doesn't have the power and influence that Edward R.Murrow had. I venture to say that Mr. Murrow would have cleaned up the Turner Classic Message board overnight if he was assigned, he was just that good! He was a fair true American and I consider him an icon of the underdogs who were taking advantage of or falsely accused on any topic. They don't make them like that anymore "A True Honest American"

Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey reconciled and had a television show on WCBS in 1956. They preceded "The Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason. I know they had that TV show because in January 1956 history was made when a guy named Elvis Presley appeared for the first time on national television on the Dorseys show! I remember it like it was yesterday.

Your one of the nicest boarders on board! That's why I'm always on the "Film Chain" thread! I know I'm in safe waters in that thread and not in the hurricane like other threads. I knew there was an extra reason why I like you, like Doris Day you sound like an animal lover. I have three cats...Merlin....Mojo...and Napoleon ( Nickname Bomba cause he is a fat one). All are orange and all crazy. As I am inputting this, Merlin is on the desk trying to bite my hand as I am typing. If you see any mistakes from here on I can always blame Merlin because he likes to bite moving hands. ( Love bites...not hard) Hope your day went well I am watching King Kong right now that I taped about 17 years ago off of American Movie Classics when it was a great cable station. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I know how many Steve Martin haters there are but my favorite Thanksgiving Day Movie is "Trains, Planes and Automobiles with John Candy in one of his finer roles. I don't care if it was after 1970 and I don't care if it stars Steve Martin! I like it and that's who I please .....ME! You asked and I said (Thee Thee Thee That's All Folks!) By the way stoneyburke my favorite character on Soupy Sales was "Peaches" (Soupy in Drag) Don't forget to do "The Mouse" in your house also!

To me a classic movie is something I can watch over and over again and never tire of it. It could be a James Cagney gangster movie, a Doris Day comedy, a Jane Powell musical, a Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff horror movie or King Kong strolling downtown looking for Fay Wray. Classic is anything that I enjoy no matter if it is a Gish silent movie or slapstick Laurel and Hardy or Three Stooges. Even if it's a Flash Gordon serial or a Bugs Bunny cartoon. No matter if it's a Black and White, Technicolor, Metro-Color,letter box, pan and scan, former 3-D, Vista-Vision, diamond. I am not limited to any decade but if I had a choice it would be pre-1970's although a good number of great movies have been made since 1970. As long as it has imagination a good cast and script I will watch it.

Hey Mongo I'm having trouble with a word that's usually said to describe food. It's usually said in Westerns and last night as I threw in 7 Brides For Seven Brothers in the VCR it came up again. I don't know if I'm spelling it right, but I looked in the dictionary to find out the origin of the word ( slang) and couldn't seem to find it. The word is "Vittles" (SP?). Now I ask you since you are the question and answer man where did the word come from...who said it first and how do you spell it? This one really bothers me and I would appreciate if you give me any kind of reply. Thanks Mongo!
