Thanks MM, I heard parts of it elsewhere. I was familiar with it; my ex had a recording. I put it (the movie) in my Netflix queue. I would have never known about it if it wasn't for you writing. Thanks again.

Getting ready for a tribute day on Friday for John Belushi. Love him, and loved the Blues Brothers. I don't want him to be remembered for how he died, but how much he entertained us. Post what you want in the meantime.

I just realized how wonderful to listen to Willie Nelson while doing my taxes! haha.. Can the Cosmic Forces of Fate strike again...? The Vogues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGtrys6CI8Y Alan Jackson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBaQsJpijpg Making plans with that refund.

> {quote:title=JakeHolman wrote:}{quote} > Steve McQueen was not even nominated for Best Actor for his outstanding acting in Papillon... > > Wonder why...and what a joke... I agree with you. Here's the list of Nominees in 1973: Marlon Brando -- Last Tango in Paris Jack Lemmon -- Save the Tiger (won the Oscar) Jack Nicholson -- The Last Detail Al Pacino -- Serpico Robert Redford -- The Sting What Brando was doing in that list is lunacy..

h5. We hear from the Fourth Estate Ha! Of course a newspaper man would get it right, stick to the facts, and correct accurately without causing his opinions to be the focal point -only to illustrate if necessary his point of view. Sorry for the run on sentence, but I appreciate your comments. I wish you were giving analysis of HCR (not here-the thread would be locked). I stand corrected. Thank you for setting the record straight. h5. Dancing with the Stars The dance numbers with Vera Ellen and O'Connor were charming. I didn't know you guys could could trip with Terpsichore so well. I still want to see the George M Cohan musical. But alas, I won't get to see Cagney dancing it. h6. George M: "Don't print it, it's strictly off-the-record."

Good one, MM. This is what I was listening to while figuring mileage for taxes. Willie Nelson.

Not too tedious, except for: Billy DeWolfe is given straight lines (big mistake) and Ethel Merman's punchlines, weren't that funny. Donald O'Connor doesn't move enough. Vera Ellen has a European?/Russian accent. . Ask me about George Sanders...it's an OMG moment.. I would really like to see George M Cohan's I'd Rather Be President -but they didn't make a movie of that one...

h5. Since this train to River City been derailed already... Did anyone catch Wilson's other musical, Call Me Madam ? It was easy to catch, it moved that s l o w l y.... h4. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

oh, forgot to tell you: h4. Irish Coffeehouse: In Double Old Fashioned glass over ice, pour in this order.. *2 oz. Kahlua* *2 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream* Don't stir; let them float - Bailey's lighter than Kahlua. Looks like a B&B, tastes much better to me.

Chopin has a fascinating biography. He suffered from ill health. But his music is beautiful. Nocturne: My favorite Etude:

I'm posting here, listening to The Lark Ascending and in a mellow mood for sleep. Yes, the gown is perfect. I keep thinking it is of such a design, so timeless, a woman could wear it now. Didn't Greer have perfect shoulders? How could Charles be so reserved around her? Paula/Margaret deserved to be loved. Or did he put her on a pedestal? I miss England in the Spring.

LOL.. I want _your_ job...

A: Please play nice. It's OK can be snarky, but keep the posting partners in on the joke. I try to live by the philosophy- you can't laugh together, it's not funny. B: Please be respectful. Even here you cannot be certain if the person you are dissing maybe one with whom you'll be doing business someday. I've written Coleman too, and the other posters were polite in overlooking it and simply gave me a pass. Other times, I have been corrected on details, but usually with a gracious and caring touch. That's what keeps this forum so popular. Edited by: casablancalover on Feb 28, 2010 5:02 PM, for she didn't notice that fxreyman can take care of himself.

> {quote:title=psmoviephile wrote:}{quote} > That key! How believable is it that the cottage would have remained untouched and just as it was years ago? Even down to the flowers on the tree branch! Not that it matters. MGM perfected this brand of delirious hokum in the 1940s. Black and white photography was at its glossiest; the whole production persuades the viewer to overlook such details as believability! Dont get me wrong -- I love it! LOL. So true! When seen in a movie, call it: h5. Gravity in spaceships I'm glad they found each other in the Spring, but it does make it seem they were apart for maybe a week, or it was the following year. Who was that Production Designer? Probably Cedric Gibbons.

Oops. But then, how nice of you to remember me.. Please, may I dig that up later? I wanted to take a walk in a rare MN Beautiful day in February. Edited by: casablancalover on Feb 28, 2010 12:10 PM, because it is still February..

I think the #1 reason the AMPAS gets it wrong is The voting process is confined to members of that aspect of the movie-making process, with the exception of Best Picture. Memories of Student Council elections come to mind..

Bible Verses for today: h5. Proverbs 6:12-15 h5. John 8:42-47 The hymns today: The last one is especially important, for there is backstory. h4. Prove you love your God today. Love another person, though it does not benefit you. I will be back later.

Excellent guitar work, I agree. Do you have another treat today? I will stroll along the banks of the beautiful Upper Mississippi today, and check in later.

Glad you stuck with it. Sorry about coming in halfway/two-thirds way. A story needs a reveal, everybody needs to be clued in on what's happening. The best part is when an important character is unaware, and the clever way the truth comes out. Would Kitty caught on sooner if it wasn't for the KEY? My girlfriend and I are still discussing honesty is the best policy aspects. Her line, the wife always finds out My response, Amnesia is convenient, but could no longer be used as a defense nowdays.

I know you didn't mean it really, Jake. You are usually careful in what you post. The 1997 version has one aspect that I do love over the others. The eternal link of love. Despite the years and the heartache, in the end Jack and Rose are together. Their love transcends time itself. Lewis Bodine: We never found anything on Jack... there's no record of him at all. Old Rose: No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now... Not to anyone... Not even your grandfather... A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me... in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory.
