  1. >*I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still, or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey, whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. . . I hope to shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams, I hope...*

    Morgan Freeman

    The Shawshank Redemption

    Francey: They don't grow on trees. . .

     

    Baby Face Martin: Why didn't you starve?

     

    Francey: Why didn't you?

    I believe it is, for there is always some disagreement for the way the voting breaks so strangely some years. I remember when Marisa Tomei won, and people were asking if Claudette Colbert didn't get her ballot in on time-suggesting CC would have not voted for her..

     

    That is, I've heard discussed on some movie insider programs like Shootout.

  4. I, like you, enjoy the discovery in what everyday items like the one's

     

    used in MST3K puppets myself:

    Tom Servo (right) was a candy dispenser. Gypsy's (far left) cranium is an inverted infant seat, with battery lantern mounted on it.

    > When I was in third grade, Miss Parker's class, a friend of mine had a GUNSMOKE lunch box. Day in, day out. You never saw him without his little red lunch box. Damn thing's probably worth $20.00 now!

     

    I would say more like $200 now. The TV-themed lunch boxes fetch more...

  7. While they are both excellent actors and dancers, I cannot choose myself as to which I feel is better. But I will tell you this, imho:

     

    Fred Astaire's work is best showcased in Top Hat, Holiday Inn, and Funny Face

     

    My Gene Kelly favorites are Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris and On the Town

     

    and if you are collecting, another couple favorites are Kelly's Les Girls and Astaire's The Band Wagon

  8. I Accuse My Parents. Jan in the Pan. (sorry, don't remember it's actual title) I do credit my sons for introducing me to this show.

     

    And any movie from Japan with Cheesy monsters... What was that big Turtle again?

     

    Thank you for mentioning this. We must have a live MST3K party sometime. It's the bomb!

  9. CM- Oh, you expressed my sentiments exactly! What a terrific story. I appreciate how well-paced the character introductions were. I didn't lose track of one of them! And isn't it just like the English, land of the Victorian novel, to not let anyone of significance drop from the plot either! The townsfolk all have their angle and their humanity about them. The Vicar in his big scene in the Church is the perfect response in the story, and thecongregation in their planning is so natural in it's development.

     

    Just terrific... What did you think of those little boys in the her Ladyship's home? I kept thinking, of course they would be like that, brought up on Kipling and Robin Hood and King Arthur...
