The one from Batman is a new one to me.

HA! Holly gets an *extra point* for tying in a current actor with a classic! Good one!!

I guess the reason I love the A&E Pride and Prejudice so much is for Colin. I have not seen the movie with Uma... is it a recent release?

I am having I hope my last very awkward holiday, with the ex and my son, and my neighbor and her boyfriend. But then, I believe many of us have awkward holidays... make it a good one anyway!

I had to step away from my cooking Cranberry sauce (with a touch of Chambord) to agree with you, CineMaven. I love some manly hair on the chest. I give thanks for men like that.
Happy Thanksgiving!

>Mamie; *What kinda keepin' is that! Nothing but tricks! ...If you went to Hollywood, and told Miss Linda how much you love's her, and how much you misses her, and told her like that, the way a lady likes to hear it told, I bet she'd be the quickest ex-movie star who ever Ex'd!*
>Jim: *Your crazy, Mamie...*
>Mamie: *I'm crazy! I knows Miss Linda! I knows her like I knows my own kids! She ain't the fancy type no more than you are. What SHE wants is what you have right here! But women has to have those things told to them the right way! You could melt her heart right down to butter, if you only turn up the heat!*
Louise Beavers and Bing Crosby, Holiday Inn 1942
Happy Thanksgiving..

We have plenty to be Thankful for:

The most recent film I love isn't even fiction, Ken Burns' *Lewis and Clark, the Journey of the Corps of Discovery*

Ok, I don't necessarily care for sad eyes (Thomas has some of the most beautiful I've ever seen though) because I like a man with a happy face.
But these pics are some of the best. Thanks JF..
I wonder if I went to images looking for hairy chests. . . ?

You know my two favorites! Thanks! I am doing the next quote from memory, hope it's accurate:
>*This is the worst. When do we get to the better?*
Virginia Mayo, The Best Years of Our Lives 1946

This is the best news on one of my less happier days.. Thanks..

I know many of us will be shopping for Xmas this week, and
Criterion DVDs will be 50% off starting tomorrow at a famous seller of literature aka b&n...
Do you think other retail outfits that are click away will follow suit?

All those mentioned previously are great, and I have another little favorite, one didn't think I would like at all. *Fever Pitch* Boston Red Sox and their fans made for a sweet story. I also liked *The Sandlot*

lz,
I think tivoli was just looking to network here. It is a shot in the dark. We really never know who's out there.. ;-)
There could be a connection to be made, somehow.

I've loved Hoagy Carmichael since seeing him in The Best Years of Our Lives in High School (very progressive history teacher)
I love Stardust too, Nat King Cole did the best version, imho:

The Tin Pan Alley lyric style comes through on this lovely ballad too. It's just that the arrangement is very 1970...Cotton, Lloyd and Christian:
I think Nat King Cole and Nelson Riddle could've done it better.

From the beautiful altos of the fifties to the enchanting baritones..
Nat King Cole:
And the great bass/baritone: Sir Bing Crosby:

Yes, another reason to keep my eyes on TCM, and off QVC! LOL!

I learned *Guantanamera* in my 2nd year of Spanish, and I trilled my Rs with the best of them! Thanks for the memory.
Also the Burton Cummings fan, the best memory of this song is on a TV show I watched in the early nineties: *Due South*. Paul Gross is one *handsome* actor:
and this lesser known, but beautiful:
