maven, re: Rossano - get this, from the TCM article accompanying *The Story of Esther Costello* - He was so handsome, in fact, that he once stated, "Sometimes my face is more beautiful than the leading lady's." I hope Joan didn't hear that.

MissG - It sure would be nice to understand how this mysterious place works. I may be wrong, but just yesterday, another thread in General Discussions disappeared. It was started by a fairly new poster, or a poster with very few posts. Then it quickly degenerated into one poster admitting that they liked to bait other posters and mention of trolls, etc. Well, it's gone, and while I understand why that may be - why hasn't it been returned? I'm curious as to what would be considered as necessary to remove from that thread. The word troll? The poster admitting that they like to bait other posters? I can't figure it out. The multiple identity thing (which is rampant here) has been brought up numerous times. Why would anyone think that having one person sign up as multiple personalities would be fair and conducive to good communication. It has to be against the Code of Conduct rule against giving false information when signing up here. It is dishonest, and I don't know anyone who would knowingly waste any time talking in any way to phony entity, whose only purpose is to belittle other people. We have been asked numerous times to keep conflicts off the Boards. But my question is, how long do we need to wait to get any feedback? Is there anyone else besides the moderators who can give - those of us who are interested - answers? I feel as if we are pounding on the door to try to get to the Great Oz. This has all been said before in many ways. If anyone out there reading this has any answers, please let me know.

*Alan Ladd 1950*

In my large family, we had two kinds of cereal, Cheerios and Corn Flakes. And oatmeal and cream of wheat. A big pot of it. As for shredded wheat, I always have to let mine sit a while after I pour in the milk, otherwise, it's way too crunchy. I think the box started stating that you could eat it hot.

I've seen *Galaxy Quest* many times on the job - it's a movie you can watch with kids when you're watching them. It's funny funny funny. My favorite characters are Guy (Sam Rockwell) and Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman). I love to watch Alan Rickman being funny in spite of himself.

JackF - How can I have lived this long and never heard of Johnny either? After careful analysis, I'll have to go with Claude also, though. Johnny's songs sounded identical to the original versions, and he doesn't move around enough to be motivated to exercise to, like Claude. What color was his hair? First, it looked blond, then red, then strawberry blond. And him belting out "Ave Maria"!! (Maybe he changed the lyrics.) And what was with Johnny's image in a stained glass window? I'll stop before I wonder about that name. Just wondering out loud - you don't have to answer these probing questions.

I don't know which moves I like better, the jumping jacks or the side to side moves. In any event, your eyes are either glued to that silver suit or the *girls!* He must have been the hardest working man in French show business. I always thought that Paul Anka wrote "My Way", but he just wrote the English lyrics.

Susan, Thanks for sharing your good news with us. I recall that you said that you moved recently, and I felt for you when I heard that. Moving takes a lot out of you, and I hope you are in comfy surrounding. Best wishes, cinemafan

Ain't that the way it is sometimes, maven. Here's another food story that my friend told me. She and her little sister went to a friend's house when they were kids, and the mom said that they were having steak for dinner. My friend was embarrassed when her little sister asked "What's steak?"

I never heard of him before today - this opens new frontiers for my trivia and obscurities filled brain. I took a quick look at his bio, and he died young in a particularly tragic way.

*Sorry it's hard to read, but Basil Rathbone is saying how quick it is to prepare and eat. (still is)*

That first clip - when I first saw him, I thought it was a young Mr. Humphries of *Are You Being Served?* I think it's the eyebrows. He's also very bouncy.

Mr6 - re: *Dances With Wolves*, I did start to watch it - it's a good one. Professor Geiogamah had nothing but good things to say about it, as far as I could tell. I didn't see *Black Robe* or *Run of the Arrow*. I hope they will be shown again before long. I saw *White Commanche* once a while back - that was enough.

Mr6, I saw *The Unforgiven* for the first time. I didn't try to make too much sense of it, and at times it was hard to watch for one reason or another, as most of these movies are. Either they are gruesome and violent or embarrassing. But that's what we have. It was good to see a young Doug McClure and Albert Salmi and the veterans Lillian Gish and Charles Bickford. And Audie Murphy. I couldn't figure why the music bothered me - it was so.....noticeable! Every time it came on, I was aware of it - did it sound "tinny" to anyone? Here are some interesting behind the scenes pictures - *a promotional coloring contest* *John Huston filming* *Audrey knitting between scenes*

> {quote:title=JackFavell wrote:}{quote} > Oh, that's a good comparison! I love those TV segments in A Face in the Crowd - I wonder if kids now even understand how realistic those commercial bits were..... Vitamix - was that the name of the stuff? It was *VitaJax* (what you do to me!) remember the ad with the pig and his tail's reaction to *VitaJax?* > That Josephine Baker ad is without a doubt the most beautiful one I have seen. Yes, the Josephine ad was beautiful. Apparently, she tied in with the hair product in France in the 1920s. There was also a product called *Bakerskin*, but I can't find much on it. Josephine Baker was all the rage, as they say, and women wanted to get the Baker look.

The son of one of my favorites - Pedro Armendariz, Jr.?

scsu - that was hilarious - thanks for the laffs and keep em coming.

I've seen *Dances With Wolves*, so I will probably pass, but I would like to catch the opening and closing comments. Hopefully, this will attract some new viewers who will appreciate it being shown as it will be. I would like to see *Black Robe*, but the one that fascinates me is *Run of the Arrow* with that great cast - Rod Steiger, Brian Keith, Ralph Meeker, and Charles Bronson.

Both of these have tremendous casts, but take a gander at *Run of the Arrow* - Rod Steiger, Brian Keith, Ralph Meeker and Charles Bronson!

coopsgirl, another winner! Thanks for taking time from your studies to visit and bring us another great Gary video. In the clips you pick, he's pretty irresistible.

> {quote:title=clore wrote:}{quote} > >>If I remember correctly, Drums Along the Mohawk has the best running scene ever.

Much of the footage appeared in MOHAWK, only this time it was supposed to be Scott Brady doing the huffing and puffing. Lots of other footage from the earlier film was used and it didn't mix well with the new footage which was all set on obvious sound stage sets. clore, I'm paying for it now, I'm barely awake. I missed Scott Brady in *Mohawk* - I am not at all familiar with him - I even looked at a photo of him and can't remember ever seeing him. I wonder what Professor Geiogamah had to say about that film?

> {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote:}{quote} > I never saw the whole film until last night, and I was astonished to see that Tracy was working for the danged redcoats! Fred, you might be kidding, but that did take some getting used to for me. I had to keep remembering which war was going on.
