*Celine Dion?!? How could you?*
knowing me, does that appear as a trick question to you? heehee! honestly, sis, you should know better.
*i had another funny Gary dream last night. I was sitting in my livingroom wrapping presents (I don?t know if it was Christmas or what b/c there weren?t any decorations out) and I had it on TCM. A short came on and it was one that Gary had made (but not a real one) and I was freaking out b/c I hadn?t seen it before. He looked like he did in that little bit of Alias Jesse James that he was in which means he looked like old cowboy Gary!! Yay!!*
wow! sounds like a cute dream to me! why do you get all the weird dreams with peanut shells, glue sticks, furniture, and wrapping presents? heehee! i think youre gonna need a bigger drool rag.

ooooooh thank you dahlink april!!!
i love that video, i watch it every once in a while,just to see all of her dresses again...im still waiting for them to release the third season of the loretta young show.....i alkready have the first two seasons.....maybe i watch them too fast. heehee! but i cant help it, i always feel like her when i have a skirt or dress on, unless i have a certain type of dress on that looks like it would be a junie or greer or doris dress. heehee!

oh swasheroo!!! i love that screencap of Babbie!! that's one of my favorite scenes as a matter of fact! i love it when she played innocent half the time.
*So here is Babbie, the wily lass, tricking the poor unsuspecting minister into blowing the horn that will wake the town. Oh you girls, always using your batting eye lashes or puppy dog pouts or just looking wild in the wind like ole Maddie here to wrap the guys around your little pinkies. Boy, you girls are something else. But here we can forgive her because she is doing good in getting him to blow that horn and warning the town of approaching redcoats. (She tried to do it herself but couldnt because, after all, shes just a girl)*
excuse me! thats how girls are born, to bat our pretty eye lashes, not that mine are pretty, but helen's are gorgeous, she knows how to use them well on her leading men characters. heehee! thats right, she's doing good for the people in the village, b/c she cares....i love that she was a wealthy society girl who pretended to be a poor gypsy wandering around the entire village doing random fun things. what do you mean she's just a girl!!!! heehee!
*Still, you goils are a wily bunch all the while. No wonder we here this:*
*Innity finnity fickety faeg*
*A diddae dolmansaeg*
*Lipperty birky ravens croak*
*Into hell and let her smoke*
yeah when i first saw the movie, that scene really freaked out, with a little boy circling a wishing well casting a spell on the gypsy girl, and then she walks up to him wanting to know what he's doing and giggling atthe sight of it. then she is troubled, b/c he tells her she is a bad influence on the minister which in turn led to being a bad influence on the boys father. she didnt want that to happen, and it wasnt her fault, yet she promises not to go near her love again just for the boy's convenience.....but later on she kind of runs into him anyway, i loved that.
*So yes, I loved The Little Minister. (Can you tell?) Positively. I watched it twice. Of course youve seen but let me share a few highlights that are especially to my liking. BTW, I wouldnt exactly call this a remake, per se, since this is the BBC and not Hollywood again who did it, still its the same story, and interesting to discover that it was written by J. M. Barrie, first as a novel and then an adaptation for the stage, interesting because J. M. Barrie also wrote the famed, Peter Pan.*
isnt it great?! i thought you would love it. its our kind of movie. heehee! its funny, when i first got the box set, that was the movie i was least interested in watching and it didnt even cross my mind that it was the remake of Kate's version, but when i put it on, i noticed that some scenes looked very familiar, and then it came to me. i was being distracted by sewing my skirt together, but the more the movie went on, the more i was entranced with it, the entire thing, and i was fully focused on it a few minutes into it. so far i havewatched it 7 or 8 times. i lvoe it so much. but i havent watched it in a whole month, so i need to watch it again. heehee!
isnt that interesting that J. M. barrie wrote both of those stories? they are so completely different, but both very strong and beautiful with wonderful plots.
*Some beautiful and comic scenes, i.e., in Nanny Websters cottage where Nanny relates the story of the rose that mortifies the minister, a great scene where Nanny keeps the surprises coming and our Helen almost falls off the chair for excess of mirth (and she so very funny in the doing). The minister is wonderfully played by that actor, the name escapes, but he was perfect. At the end of this scene Babbie calls him a boy. Haha, Helen called Gino a boy too, remember? But Gino couldnt write a poem like this*
i loved that scene in nanny webster's cottage where she found some tea in the gypsy's pocket and she said, "oh you are a darling creature......was this come by honestly?" helen's answer: "nanny....of course it was." nanny webster made her raise her right hand i think and spin around a few times to sware she was telling the truth...that was too cute......and then when the minister walked in and they had that conversation at the table about the rose, she acts as if she know3s nothing and its very convincing and having fun with it until nanny says something to affect of, "there is a girl." helen trips up and starts to cry a little and looks at the minister in question. "is this true?" she asks, and nanny webster explains about the rose and all the sudden helen knows its her, b/c she gave it to him in the garden. thats a great part!
i loved it when she nearly fell off the chair in hysterics laughing at stories of herself. my goodness.i was wondering if you would pick up that she called him a boy in here as well as she did in WAFTT. i found that weird, but i rather thought it was more cute in The Little Minister, b/c they were young themselves, so that made it better for me. i thought the poem was pure beauty and it made me melt when i heard them read it in the movie. i almost starting crying.
*Whoa, what a poem! And how about that minister writin such a poem as that. In another good scene, the poem is discovered by board members of the kirk (thinking its for the prayer meeting) and one of them, after hearing it read, says oh so gravely, Does every line begin with a capital letter?, and when the reader provides the awful answer, the other in turn affirms the dour conclusion, Then its poetry. And, of course, Heaven forefend, a minister engaging in the art of poetry when he is suppose to be writing sermons. Tsk!*
i think you can do just as good, youre a great poem and songwriter remember? or did you forget so early? heehee! he is allowed to fall in love! i dont think he planned to, but really, when helen came up to him as a gypsy and kissed him right off, a perfect stranger, i think he was struck. heehee! it's like she knew they were going to fall in love, but she didnt know it yet. Or does that make any sense? heehee!
*And Babbie also says this to him in that scene: If I love him, its got to be that he has shown me what love is. If I have a soul, he has to find it for me. He must compel me somehow to think. He must be my master.*
funny, youmention this part of the movie, when i first saw her say that, i had the most interesting sense of deja vu. it was like i had heard thta line somewhere before, and i dont recall if it was in the original with kate. its my new motto. heehee! i absolutely love thta line, its the best line in the movie....it has to be a tie between my other all time favorite quote by greer in Goodbye Mr. Chips as she tells chips that he can accomplish anything.
*Yes, her master, but not in the Gino sense in the other movie, no where is there a sense that the minister would ?shake? Babbie as Gino did Lilia. It?s more gentle here, do you agree? A woman in this parochial setting does, in fact, need a man who is stronger than she, because it?s the way of their little world and provides a necessary and positive security for both parties. And there is no sense that a husband will lord over his wife in a cruel way. (And we need to remember Babbie?s actual station in life, so it applies there as well, as she is the one speaking the lines).*
THANK GOODNESS!!! im so glad he didnt shake her back to life as mean Gino did. when you watch the minister's personality, you see in his eyes that he is very gentle natured and it is hard for him to "tame" Babbie from her having fun and it is almost as if she brings the fun out of him in the garden when he gets so mad at her for everything going on, yet he cant be angry at her, b/c he is falling so deeply i love with her and he mentions how he loves her hair, her face, the wat she deos everything. i thought that was just the sweetest thing!
if you remember in the scene in her manshion when she comes out dressed as her real self, it upsets the minister and rightly, but even when all this happens and the truth comes out to him, right as he is about to leave, he grabs her and kisses her oh so passionately tilting her slightly in his arms, and her father looks on in astonishment as well as her other betrothed man. as he releases from her grasp, she is still in the same position in awe and then purposely stays there with one eye open for a second to see if anyone is watching. i started giggling when she did that. i just loved that whole scene!
*(So when will Butterscotchgreer meet her match and jump. Boy, I can see those eye lashes abattin? and that puppy dog pout ?apoutin. )*
when my mother saw this movie with me, she said the same thing. she said that Babbie reminded her of me. oh gee, thanks momma. heehee!
*Helen showed some range here too. She appears comfortable doing all than cutesy business as a Gypsy and very believable. All the acting is just superb, something that one can nearly always count on with the BBC. Anyway, I loved it. I have not seen the movie with Kate, but I doubt it could match this, not to may taste anyway*
i think that is what the big difference was between these two versions of the Little Minister. Kate's was a little more in the heavy dramatic field, whereas, helen's was mroe playful and funny. i really cant compare the two, b/c they have two different styles, but i must say that i have watched helen's more. heehee!
*Care to recommend another from your Helen Mirren at the BBC boxed set, darlin?, you sure are a good recommender.*
ill chat about the philanthropist later, okay. i have to go, my mother is here to pick me up. yes i ratehr have a few more helen movies you might like to see and would most likely enjoy. ill explain later.
have a fun day fulll of smiles and sunshine....tootles! heehee!
-
yeah i was glad when it was over, and then i rushed out of that stuffy room and i wore a skirt to school today and just felt like doing a loretta young twirl when i opened the door to walk out and then closed it like she did. heehee! i couldnt resist.
i was just listening to all of my favorite and lip synking along with him...i was just listening to All the Way, the duet with celine dion...i absolutely love it to death!
-
*Anything I can do for you I am happy to do, dahlink! Don't let anyone be a meanie to you, especially anyone who might also be a meanie to Texas girls!*
we'll all gang up on him and surprise him from the back, so itll be alright. heehee! then ill call for michelle yeoh and cynthia rothrock to come help.....who will he have? miss impassive? holy joe!
*So much 80's nostalgia is probably having an effect on me. I actually had a dream that was vaguely related to a school reunion or something, complete with an 80s theme and lots of 80s songs.*
my momma was from the 80s, and she's still obssessed with them, so i sort of grew up knowing most things from then, especially the music and movies.
-
*That's great thinking! You're very inspired in the mornings, I need at least three more cups to*
*get my tired brain functioning!*
i love mornings, but i dont like when i have to get up too early. heehee! i dont think anyone likes getting up too early. im on my fourth cuppa. heehee! i was thirsty. plus i am listenhing to frankie on youtube, and we both know how that works...heehee!
*And you can even drink something called "Calm" in the morning and still be bright and energetic!*
*I'm impressed, I need things labeled "Kick Start" or "Ultra Mega Caffinated" ha! My boss just*
*handed me one of his Irish Tea bags, so I'm now about to have my third.*
well i wasnt in the mood for high caffeine, but even the Calm tea did the trick. i had a test just now in college mathematics class and i kept sipping all through the test and i passed it with flying colors....i think i would have fallen asleep if it wasnt for that tea....
lucky ducky! i bet you got your irish tea...that actually sounds really good right about now. when i get home, ill have to whip out some of my irish tea. im surely yours is better though. ;0

*I like him much better.*
i know olivier martinez makes mr blush, he is so charming, but you wouldnt know it from his character, at least when he shows the real person he is at the end. he's charming allthroughout the rest of the movie though, talk about needing to breathe. heehee!
i was trying to remember where i had seen his face before this movie and it was borhtering me for a week, until i remembered this one time my daddy had Unfaithful on TV. he is the guy that had the affair with diane lane. smack myself in the head, why didnt i see that before? goodness me! but i didnt like that movie very much, too many sex scenes, not a nice plot, not my dreamy sappy ending. this guy doesnt know how to have a real relationship with his women in his movies. heehee! but i would take Mrs. Stone over Unfaithful.
*Oh, me too! And I didn't like that "grey" hair color on Viv, it wasn't very flattering. Helen's*
*color is much nicer.*
i never did understand why they gave Viv that grey in her hair. were they wanting her to look older? wasnt the movie about her wanting to look younger? that kind of confused me.
-
*I like some of the Police stuff but my fave of Sting?s songs is one of his solo works called Fields of Gold.*
heehee! ang, this is too freaky.....this used to be my favorite song from Sting, and it still is one of my mother's favorites. she loves that song and we like singing it together. its a great song and im ashamed to say it, but it makes me cry, i just love hearing it again and everytime i hear it, for some reason i always think of the Princess Bride, Buttercup and whesley riding off into the sunset kissing those five pasionate kisses that whipe all the rest out. heehee! my kind of ending.

hey michaela!
*Good morning, Theresa. Your wish is my command!*
thank you buddy, its nice to know there are some really sweet people around here to help when a really meanie furter isnt sweet. heehee!
*Great video to start the day off with, it's a nice upbeat song.*
me and frankie really like that song by Berlin. its a rare song from the 80s but an extremely great one! one of our favorites.
dahlink! youre here!
*I'm here! And just what can we do to keep the monster in its place?*
i dunno, i have been thinking......maybe we can get the couldron out and boil some hot tea, b/c he hates that stuff, and then we can throw him in there and dump all the honey and cream in it we want! what do you think?
*I'm on my second cuppa...how about you?*
banana oil! in on my last sip of my first cuppa, im heading to get my second cuppa right now. im drinking Calm Tazo tea, but it isnt as good as our french stuff. heehee! yummy!

*Howdy, Too Naughty T -- mellow greetings from yooky dooky frankiefurter!*
*Somebody is in a good mood.*
how do you do that? heehee!
*Greer is all too perfectly a snob. Now Grace Kelly, she's all too perfect.*
have you seen the pics of grace and the pics of greer? at least greer doesnt have her nose in the air like miss imassive.
she must be a bad person, she has brain washed you all the way!! April!!!!! Michaela, Angie and Kathy!!!! i need you!!*You, a princess?*
hey now!!! thats what i get for calling you a gentleman, i should have known you would try to spoil my dreams. heehee!
*Ohhh, so he was handing our burgers and breakfast sandwiches. So were you Wendy, Jackie in the Box, or Ronnie McDonald the clown? I bet you were a fry girl.*
im puppy dog poutin' now. im afraid of fast food. it upsets my tummy.
i hope i never have to be a fry girl. *You were the rebellious teen spice girl of the strict king and queen.*
you werent suppose to let that out in the open frankie! heehee! just because i liked the spice girls when i was a preteen, doesnt mean im a rebellious one! oh thats right, you were the rebellious ken doll. heehee!
by the way, you mentioned one of my top favorite 80s songs.....every little thing she does is magic.....i could jam to that song all day and night. it has such a cute sound to it.
here my frankie, this one is for you. are you riding on a metro?

mellow greetings from yooky dooky frankiefurter!
*Howdy, Dream Girls -- So Coop is no longer your man but your father? This is a stunning development. I guess the next step is for him to become Grandpa Coop.*
ew! no! i didnt like it when i dreamt about him as my daddy in the first place. greer got him all to herself, of course i cant really get mad at greer. she's all too perfect. heehee! she was absolutely gorgeous and no matter what you say frankie, she was an absolute angel. that was the first one with greer as my mother too. goodness, i was related to everyone in it. heehee! helen was even my aunt and banana oil, smithy had to be my uncle. holy joe! i cant complain, i was a princess. heehee!
*I like the overalls with the cape look, Princess Greer. I guess Coop was a frontier vampire.*
why do i have to rephrase everything around you? honestly! heehee! he wasnt wearing a vampire cape, he was wearing one of those things kings wear that look like capes and they have fur on the edges you know? i forget what its called. i rather thought the overalls went well with it. he still looked handsome as ever, but in my dream i didnt think that obviously, b/c i was his daughter.

*Hi, T! Thank you for posting your thoughts on the remake...i may have to see if I can*
*rent it. What did you think of the guy? Who played Warren Beatty's part? I think almost*
*anyone on earth would be an improvement.*
heehee! im not much of a warren beatty fan either. Olivier Martinez played his
*It's not a pleasant story at all, and watching the downward spiral of this woman is truly*
*tragic. But it doesn't have to be. I kept wondering the whole time, "where is this*
*woman's family? Did they all die? Did she cut them off when she became famous,*
*or vice-versa?" It's rather a scary movie to watch because I certainly don't want to end*
*up that way! I always think about that when I watch this movie.*
no it isnt a pleasant story at all. although there are some very fun scenes where they are very happy and go to dances and balls, but other than that, the happiness, especially in Mrs. Stone just isnt there, b/c she thinks everything in her life is spiriling out of control and into non-existence.
*Did they film the remake in Rome? That part must have been nice.*
yeah they filmed it on location in Rome and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. you would love that part dahlink!
*Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the pictures---they do resemble*
*one another there! Mrs Stone is a brave role for an aging actress to take on, since it strips*
*the character bare of all defenses, just like in A Streetcar Named Desire.*
a lot of people continually point that out. they say thats why both viv and helen were such inspirational and gifted actresses not afraid to do anything.
*As to Williams, well, he definitely had a warped point of view, particularly of aging women,*
*shaped no doubt by his own experiences growing up.*
i believe that. he just made aging women out to be fearful of being too lonely and ugly, when it doesnt have to be that way...reality check! we are own own persons and every woman thinks differently. i just hated his portrayal of aging women. but the story really is moving in the intensity of it.
they did great with the haircuts,but i prefer both of them with the long hair. they look much prettier.
-
*Okay now for my dream about Gary being my father. I was 13 and I gotta tell you it was strange seeing myself that age again. Anyway, I was friends with Gary?s daughter Maria and she was also my same age and she looked like she did in pics from her book when she was that age. I?m not sure what happened to my family but I didn?t have any and I think I was in foster care or something. Well, I was always hanging out at Maria?s house (it was beautiful too) so Gary and his wife Rocky decided to adopt me. I don?t really remember seeing Rocky in the dream but I remember Gary telling me about it and I was so happy and me and Maria thought it was cool that now we got to be sisters. My mom got a real kick out of this one and she joked that she was hurt b/c I had tossed her aside for Gary instead.*
i still cant believe we both had a dream where gary was our dad in the same week no less. heehee! goodness!
*It was especially funny that Theresa and I both had dreams about him being our father in the same week and we were both embarrassed to tell anybody. I?ve had plenty of dreams where he was my ?daddy?, but never my father . He was a great dad, but I like the other dreams better .*
i have never referred to gary as my sugar daddy in my dreams though, that may be one of the few differences in our dreams. heehee! boy are you bad sis. tsk. tsk. tsk...heehee!
*And Sis, stay away from my Charlie .*
yeah yeah, i think he's cute and he's a great actor, but you can have hi,...i want smithy....or darcy....or gary...im still deciding, i just hope laffite doesnt catch me. heehee!
-
*Oh, dahlink, I don't think I have seen the Helen Mirren version, but I am most certainly intrigued enough to want to check it out. The Viv version I saw not too long ago, I thought that was pretty good.*
the Helen version is pretty good and she looks absolutely GORGEOUS in it with exquisite gowns in it. if you would like to see that one and compare it to Viv's version, go right ahead. i'd like to hear other comparisons.
-
*Seriously I don't think I've yet had dreams that featured classic film stars, at least not that I can remember. Maybe the way I'm going it's just a matter of time.*
youre right, its just a matter of time. heehee! just watch some of your favorite movies right before you go to bed. it always works.
-
*I bought a couple more Jean Arthur movies this morning; Talk of the Town and The Silver Horde (haven't seen this one). In January TCM is showing The Devil and Miss Jones and I'm really looking forward to that! Sony is also supposed to be releasing more of her films on dvd next year too - yay!!! Saying that I'm not much of a John Wayne fan is an understatment so unfortunately I'll just have to miss out on the one she made with him. Why did you do it Jean, why?!?*
hey stop picking on jean for making a WONDERFUL movie with the Duke. heehee! she did it because she wanted to and you KNOW you WANT to see it right? heehee!
*Hey Sis, so are you gonna share that crazy Gary dream you had? If you tell 'em yours, I tell 'em mine .*
thats not fair! why did you do that? i was trying not to say it! fine i guess ill have to tell them now that you have let the kitty out of the bag.....honestly! heehee!
okay everyone here's how the dream started.......
the first person that showed up in my dream was of course greer and she was the Queen of England dressed up as Elizabeth II, dont ask. heehee! now here's whats weird, there were two Queens of England...why? i havent the foggiest and the other queen was helen mirren of course, but she was dressed up as Elizabeth I from way back then...goodness dreams are wierd! anyway, so they were the two Queens of England and dresssed from two different periods and greer was my mother, so that made me the princess of England. heehee!, and wouldnt you know it, guess who my father was......GARY!! seriuosly, gary just had to be my daddy in a dream and married to greer! heehee! and he was wearing overalls....again......with a cape over them (how silly is that, overalls with a cape
)so anyway Queen Helen was my aunt, greer's sister and she was married to Ronald Colman(he looked like he did in random harvest). Queen Helen was also pregnant....well dream went on and both Queens and Kings were trying to pair me up with my future husband.....Charles Farrell ( ang was so jealous 
). well i didnt know the man and although i thought he was so handsome i didnt want to marry for anything but love, of course, so while my royal family was planning a joust between my future husband and some other dude who was also elligible for being my husband i got to know charles more. i started to fall in love with him and then rooted for him in the joust but right as the joust was to begin Queen helen went into labor so we all rushed into the medical quarters of the castile and she had the baby, a little girl....and they determined that me and this new little girl were going to be the next two Queens of England.....and the joust was put back on the next day and charles won naturally and right as i went to give him a victory kiss i had to wake up! honestly! you'd thuink after all that i would get to kiss the guy. okay ang i told them gary was my daddy in my dream now its your turn! heehee!
-
okay dahlink, do you remember when we were talking about Viv in Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone?
well i recently saw the remake with my Helen Mirren in it. i must say that it was very interesting...and different than the viv version. it had nudity, which i did not approve of at all and thought was inappropriate, but the rest was rather emotional and well acted...i cant say if i like viv better than helen's performance. i loved them both in the part of Mrs. Stone. they both approached it from different angles, and somehow they both worked. i didnt like Anne bancroft in this as the Contessa, b/c she was a thief and i just didnt like her character....of course i didnt appreciate Lotte Lenya as the contessa in the Viv version either. heehee!
i must say that even though i adore my helen, i appreciate the Viv version more, b/c there is no nudity in that one. but in the helen version you can almost see how alone and mentally in pain she is. she just wants someone to love her for herself and not want her money. i dunno, i have so many mixed thoughts on these two versions.
i honestly dont think Tennessee Williams understood women to the full extent when he wrote this story in my opinion.
just look at the similarities and differences between the two.

*I kind of liked him with Sigried Gurie in Three Faces West, or at least I like the movie and*
*she is tolerable*
i feel thesame way....i liked him in that movie, but vera wasnt my favorite in it. i didnt really like her performances with the Duke. she has to be one of the few that i didnt really like with him. of course that could have to do with her acting style. i prefer maureen over vera. heehee!
-
*Fantastic list, Sweet T! You put some good thought into it.*
wow! dost thou ears deceive me or did i just hear a compliment coming from you? heehee! ust kidding.
*It's wonderful to see you back on the board, Sicky.*
im happy now that im back here too! yay! i just love drinking my hot tea and chatting with all of you at the same time.
*maybe i should rephrase what i said.*
*Yes, you better.*
lets not get too picky now. heehee!
*Unconditional love, which is something that I like.*
youre telling me.....my favorite kind of movie. heehee!
*Yet another unconditional love song! It's my favorite Cyndi song, too. The lyrics are beautiful. And I like Marlene at the beginning of the video.*
i will always love cyndi lauper! she can really show emotion...in her own style too. let's make a list of unconditional love songs franklie! pretty please with puppy dog eyes? heehee!
-
Michaela!
*Would you believe I have yet to watch Lady Takes a Chance ? This is why I do not yet possess enough confidence to make my own list.*
no worried pally....you know lots about old movies. i wanna see your list!
chris!
*I just realized how dumb that sentence sounds but I'm glad you got my point. Part of the interesting things about some Duke films was the contrast in his leading ladies. That was no accident. You mention Hepburn but there was also Dietrich. Her European background played nicely against Duke's good 'ol American guy.*
heehee! yes i got your point. it must have been an accident. i can see why they put those ladies with him. or vice versa....i think he is one of those guys who can have good chemistry with most women in his movies. maybe its just me. i dunno. heehee! i also liked Dietrich, but that was a kate hepburn matching too. i like those most i think. they are so interesting to see how they interact with each other when you arent used to them being together..
*Out of all the women Maureen O'Hara was my favorite Duke lady. She was as strong and as stubborn as he could be. A test of wills made for good cinema. Whether it was "The Quiet Man" or "Rio Grande" or even a small role in "Big Jake" she was not going to be pushed around.
*Overall a nice variety of ladies*
of course who better than his main leading lady Maureen.....i could never think differently about her and him together. they are one of the best pairings in movie history.
-
*Marvelous choices, Theresa! I totally forgot about Jean Arthur and Susan Hayward, but*
*trust you to remember them! And Donna Reed in Trouble Along the Way, another good one!*
i was going to put her in there, but i couldnt figure out where to put her. i was trying to think where i would rate her as a duke lady. maybe somewhere in the 10-15 range. thats a cute movie, i love that one too! i havent seen it for years though. i saw it at grandmama's house a while ago and have only seen it a couple times after that.
*I'm trying to remember if I've seen Texas Terror before, but I do have it on DVD now. All*
*his "Bs" kind of run together in my mind.*
all of Duke's B movies sort of do that same thing in my head, but when i think of each of them individually im good. heehee! then i can piece the different characters and scenes. Texas Terror has to be, in my opinion, one of his better B movies.
-
*Miss T:*
*You get bonus points for "Texas Terror." Anyone thinking of one of those old B pictures in that group is doing some thinking.*
*No problems with your list. I thought Duke and Jean Arthur were very nice together. Opposite ends of the film word can work.*
*Nice list.*
hey keyboard Chris...heehee!
thank you! not many people recognize Texas Terror, and thats dissappointing. it's a really great movie with a little romance, and you know me, anything with a little romance i'll love. heehee! i loved Jean arthur with the Duke...that is such a funny and very cute movie. they made good chemistry in that screwball romance. but its weird, b/c when you think of jean arthur, you dont think of her being paired with the Duke. thats, i think, partly why i lvoe it so much. its like seeing katharine hepburn with the duke, its unusual, but somehow it works.
-
*Theresa, congratulations on your list, it's terrific. (Obviously Kathy's and April's are terrific, too! )*
thanks michaela! did you make a list yet? i didnt see one. maybe i need to go back further. heehee!

*The Invisible Woman! Fancy "seeing" you here. It's about time.*
well i like that! how's that for a "how do ya do?" this is what i get for coming to chat with you, im invisible again. there are benefits to being invisible ya know. heehee! muwahaha!
*You don't like the lyrics? I think they are wonderful.*
maybe i should rephrase what i said. when i was littler and i was listening to this song, i didnt know the lyrics so i didnt understand some of the things said in it, and i thought they were different and weird, but when i finally looked them up one day i saw that they were very smooth and beautiful. now i love the lyrics...is that better darlin'?
of course you wopuld know that there lyrics are absolutely beautiful too. heehee! dont you love the beginning?
). well i didnt know the man and although i thought he was so handsome i didnt want to marry for anything but love, of course, so while my royal family was planning a joust between my future husband and some other dude who was also elligible for being my husband i got to know charles more. i started to fall in love with him and then rooted for him in the joust but right as the joust was to begin Queen helen went into labor so we all rushed into the medical quarters of the castile and she had the baby, a little girl....and they determined that me and this new little girl were going to be the next two Queens of England.....and the joust was put back on the next day and charles won naturally and right as i went to give him a victory kiss i had to wake up! honestly! you'd thuink after all that i would get to kiss the guy.

michaela! thanks for that update about nancy, thats what i wanted to hear! yay! im so glad she is gonna be alright, i was worrying there for a minute......i know a pelvis fracture is painful, b/c i have a friend, a little girl who is 6 years old who was just in a car wreck and her pelvis was fractured too so i helped take care of her for a while and she still isnt walking. but she will be soon, and im surely nancy will do just as fine! this is so wonderful!
