THE PEEPS is coming! LOL

Puppies and chickies and bunnies, oh my! The fuzziness! Be glad that Lily doesn't live in Florida. Doggies have been known to mysteriously vanish -- snatched and eaten by alligators. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 30, 2013 6:50 AM

Oh, merci, SueSue, but H.P. Lovecraft and Poe also offer their thanks, because they're the two writers I very often childishly emulate, ha! It's also easy to write about creepiness (alien crab-puppies and tree branches, et. al.) when one is living in Florida, lol. So much weirdness, so little time! You're such a terrific cook; I salivate whenever you post your menus. Can you share the Easter feast? I keep waiting for Rudy to whisper all his secret recipes in my ear. http://goldenagedames.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/2cva5df049w95af2.jpg

The film that made Rudy a star. I can't imagine why, can you, girls, lol?

I'm in the mood right now for some sensitive Rudy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAW3pdwMnwYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAW3pdwMnwY

You know what, Sans? Many authentic Asian melodies, particularly Chinese, always sound a bit Celtic to me. If anyone could explain why, I'd be so grateful!

Buona sera, Sans! I love Celtic music so much.... But now I am lost in my sun-drenched Italian antiquarian dream location: Ravello....(maybe I'll run into George Sanders taking a detour from Ingrid Bergman, lol) Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 23, 2013 11:47 PM

I've got more stuff on the Bronxgirl's Mother thread, if you're in the mood to waste a bit of time, lol. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 12, 2013 1:09 PM

There's only one role I associate Irving Pichel with, and that's Gloria Holden's ghoul assistant Sandor in DRACULA'S DAUGHTER. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/IrvingPichel2DraculasDaughterTrailerScreenshot1936.jpg/220px-IrvingPichel2DraculasDaughterTrailerScreenshot1936.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Pichel&h=163&w=220&sz=5&tbnid=wIB-Pmv1M4HnyM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=112&zoom=1&usg=__MQtBck-iZrVi8X64pZWRtasFctg=&docid=2kOAy55uUwKW5M&sa=X&ei=Bhg_UY6mIYTg2QW1-oBw&ved=0CDUQ9QEwAQ&dur=880

Spasiba, Cap, for the Odessa lyrics!

And I will close my holiday greeting with:

You also can't get much better than: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRMvJxuKCpk Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 12, 2013 12:31 PM

For St. Patrick's Day: beautiful lullaby, beautiful Dennis and his beautiful voice, beautiful George O'Brien in an undershirt, plus -- Fred Mertz! It just doesn't get any better than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1Uh_1rJBx8 Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 12, 2013 12:29 PM

I'm also remembering that rarely shown Twilight Zone episode, "Spur of the Moment", when rich girl Diana Hyland, rebelling against her conservative father's warnings, ups and marries her free-spirited boyfriend, with frightening consequences...

Woody's in a neurotic class all by himself, building up female egos only to tear them down once they become strong and therefore a threat to his "male"-ness. I'm also thinking of Jill Clayburgh in AN UNMARRIED WOMAN (and you can't get any more Mazursky bridge-and-tunnel than Erica's shrink Tanya, lol) with Alan Bates' artist Saul really just another version of her selfish, immature husband. I'd like to believe the institution of marriage can actually be liberating for a man and a woman, but then, I've never taken the plunge...

>Women should have better choices than either Carl or Ben. Ben wasn't a replacement for Carl. From my POV it was the other way around; Carl was a replacement for Ben. But given a few days after the final scene, she comes to the conclusion that she didn't love either man.> Ha!! I think I agree with you. Ben would probably start treating Elaine like an intellectual inferior shortly after their marriage. I see a Kramer vs. Kramer scenario here, lol.

> I think they end up exactly like their parents, wondering how they got to that point. That last shot is so full of uncertainty and the tinge of fear and regret, but it'sonly just crystallizing that they have no idea what they just did, out of a whim of the moment.> When Elaine starts to run out of the church with Ben, her mother hisses: "It's too late!", to which Elaine replies: "Not for me!" but then there's the ambiguity of that ending (probably just to keep everything "edgy" and "ironic" for the "hip" late '60's?) Even cynical, bitter Mrs. Robinson started out as an art major and then went downhill from there, lol. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Mar 9, 2013 9:46 PM

Love it, Cap! What a great city. The statues are magnificent. If it's not too much trouble, might you translate some of the songs into English?

But I need to get weird Florida out of my mind right now. This is where I want to be on Spring break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDCMKql3YH8
