But Sprocket Man, intimidation can be more inflexible than a law. I think Hays and Breen had a lot of groups behind them that were very intimidating.

Driving home from work, I thought of this song. Classic Sixties number,
The Walker Bros:
Hum, Broadway. Remember this?

> Thanks everybody for your responses...It just makes me upset that the vast majority of American people go to the movies and watch this stuff when there are literally thousands of movies just waiting to be watched that were made during Hollywood's Golden Age. I wish I had the money to show classic movies to the public in my town. (sigh)
I didn't do it really for snarkiness, but as a way of showing how a story is told will mark a classic from a mundane movie. There are still great films being made and I agree, the classics should be revered.
Actually, Audrey, there is one way you can bring Classics out to the public. We have a *Meetup* group that meets at various restaurants and coffee shops, etc in our town, and we show the movies free. We have gathered many new friends this way. Enjoy the Classics with your new friends. Maybe there's a Meetup group already in your town.
Or if you live in place with a Party room/Community room, meetup there. [www.meetup.com]

h4. It is awful, isn't it?
I saw a movie the other day where this woman had a love affair with a man she just met. She didn't tell him anything about herself, for, well, it would have been a big turn off. It turns out she was married to a guy that had died in Concentration camp only weeks before! Then, she dumps her new lover as he's waiting to marry her!
A year later, she meets old lover by accident in another city and they start up where they left off!
AND GET THIS! Her husband didn't die after all, and is with her in this other city!
I am going to watch this again . .

Hum. . . needs a few musical numbers. Sort of a "Bells Are Ringing" with a social network milieu. I am better at sarcasm. You work on the songs.

>Atticus Finch: *I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.*

Let's not wait. . .
h5. Not everything Neil Sedaka touched was gold. Anticipation is wonderful for kisses, sex, and otherwise good times. Not so good for some mid-seventies music. Eww. . . I need to take a shower now.

You know, women can't seem to get away with this, but some men can and do quite successfully sometimes.. with the exception of "comb-overs"
Cary Grant comes to mind..
Jimmy Stewart
Henry Fonda

h4. Then Again, Remember Minnie Pearl?
Hum, I always thought Donna Douglas could have benefited greatly from Queer Eye for the Straight (Gal in this case) It's like she found her look and stuck with it, for 60 years...
I so wonder what her home looks like?

Of course, there is nothing I can do about your complaints, but just reading how entertaining some of them are may get them noticed by someone who can correct the situation. You never know.
h5. CS means customer service, not Cecil Stephen.

Peter Ustinov, Quo Vadis? (1951

My favorite musical experience, Les Miz.
Bring Him Home:

h4. Quo Vadis ?
In as many times as I have seen DeMille's *Sign of the Cross* (1932) no one mentions its storyline is so close to Quo Vadis. Sign of the Cross has been remade several times over.. and Quo Vadis has been remade 9 times, but we only hear of the 1951 version.
I love both, but I lean toward DeMille's SOTC, just for the view of Roman life he visualizes for us. But Quo Vadis has more interesting characters in the supporting cast, Peter Ustinov, Leo Genn, and
Finlay Currie noted.

*South Pacific*
I guess every song is well known, but this remains my favorite from the musical. This, and Wonderful Guy! I used this clip because the intro is important.

Oh, we're still here, but we are trying to learn our new smart phones and post where we are in Gowalla or Foursquare so we can remember what we came there for.. ;-)

*LOVE IT ! !*
Reminds me of the other great musical that R & H did for the King:
SOUTH CHICAGO, with the memorable
Happy Talk in the Ghetto
Love Me Tender Than Springtime
Viva Bali Hai

A little tangent to the movies musical.
I love this one. I guess that makes me an optimist.

Thank you Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields..
h5. In this world, with its amazing coincidences, fateful moments, mislaid papers, discovered messages, stolen kisses, awkward embraces, glances that take a second but last in our hearts a lifetime, we seek the possibilities in each other's faces. -casablancalover

>*Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is another Skywalker.*
Frank Oz The Return of the Jedi (1983)

LOL, too cute. Return of the Jedi is a treasure of lines, most with the wonderful syntax of Yoda. Poor George Lucas, he should've stopped there. A Christmas Story is a favorite, for except for the radio references, +I+ lived it too!
Yes, Lonesome, I'm guessing you actually have more favorites from 1958. And they would be. . .?
Favorite line from movie.
