FrankGrimes

A fine good evening to you, Lady. Hi, Gumby, Hmmmmm... what to make of this. Let's backtrack to your previous words: I'm actually in love with Gumby, even though he has no private parts. Ahem. Uhhh, this "Gumby," ummm... I loved that Creature photo. Isn't he just a sweet-pea?? So you're another girl who loves the Creature, eh? Very interesting. I'll have to look into getting me some gills.

Hey Frank...where is Julie Adams?? She's right here.

Welcome to the board, Rob. Your first two posts are both wonderfully expressed and written. What I am saying, in other more concise words, is that one must not approach this film too literally. A literal reading reveals logical flaws, but a symbolic reading reveals depths of meaning. Hear hear. I'm in complete agreement.

Thanks, J-Girl! I love getting caught in bat traps. I'm starting to believe Nate McLouth is Batman. Here's some torture back...

You are evil... hence my liking you. (1) The Cubs are now 7-0 against the Bucs this season (10-0 if one reaches back to last year), and This is the REAL reason why you dug this thread up. I like that. The Bucs had been playing pretty good of late, too. Relatively Bucco speaking, that is. (2) The Gene Siskel Film Center is showing 35mm archival prints from 20th Century Fox from June 6 through July 2 of: THE DARK CORNER (June 13 & 16) FALLEN ANGEL (June 28 & July 2) KISS OF DEATH (June 21 & 23) LAURA (June 27 & 28 ) NIGHTMARE ALLEY (June 6 & 9) NIGHT AND THE CITY (June 14 & 18 ) PANIC IN THE STREETS (June 7 & 12) PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (June 7 & 11) ROAD HOUSE (June 20 & 21) THIEVES' HIGHWAY (June 14 & 19) Wow! Now that's film noir hell! Fuller, Preminger, and Dassin! What messengers! Need more? From June 21 to July 26, the Siskel will be presenting (in addition to the above, Romanian Film Rising and various other movies) a series devoted to Luchino Visconti: DEATH IN VENICE (June 21 & 26) ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS (June 22 & 24) THE DAMNED (June 28 & July 1) SANDRA (June 29 & July 2) In July (dates not yet announced): BELLISSIMA, SENSO, THE LEOPARD, LUDWIG, CONVERSATION PIECE and THE INNOCENT. Visconti is a director I'm very interested in because of his helping to launch neo-realism. I love Ossessione. I'm curious about The Leopard because of, uh, well... It's going to be a nice summer here. Join us. Maybe you can catch a game at Heaven, aka Wrigley Field, too. Heaven for you but not for a Bucs fan.

Frank thinks so and he WOULD KNOW.

Hiya, ButterscotchGreer -- yeah but joking about it herself, is different than YOU joking about it. Yes, it's less funny when she says it. i am not obstinate! The first sign of obstinance. im naive remember?! heehee! did you hear that april? he thinks i dont ever know what im talking about....im pouting!!! You are definitely naive if you think your pretend doll talks to you. What?! You're gonna float away oh no! dont ever say the word float to me. one time i watched the movie "IT" with daddy. not the clara bow one, but the steven king one with the clown. and he has this line in it, "they float, they all float, and you can float too." every time the word "float" comes up in conversation around daddy andme, he repeakts that line in a scary voice and it freaks me out. its so mean!!! that movie gave me nightmares for months!! use another word please! No! You just gave me the kind of ammo I need, Floaty. i still have plenty of honey due left thank you. You're leaking. so does april! Your pretend doll is not full of honey... she's full of other things. Hi, Miss Goddess -- I see you're being your usual honey-sweet self Mr Grimes. I'm dripping honey-sweet. Theresa, how do we tell Mr Grimes this is Frank Sinatra's world and he's not going to be living in it much longer if he isn't nicer to us? I'm nothing but nice to you. And is there such a thing as a "lovely witch" or a "nice witch"? That doesn't seem likely.

I'm not so "strawberry" anymore, I'm pretty much ultra-blonde at this point. And no jokes, MrGrimes. heehee! i dont think he'll listen to you. he NEVER does. Hey! I listened to her. I didn't make a joke. That joke told itself. didnt you remember that frankie has selective listening skills? especially when it comes to us. sheesh! I listen to you ALL THE TIME. I cannot help it if you don't know what you are talking about or that your are obstinate or that you are have trashy tastes or that you are mean. im working on my 8th cuppa. What?! You're gonna float away. i even tried honey with my cream and you know, it doesnt taste that bad. i think ill start doing that more. heehee! You should look into that since you are starting to lose your natural honey due to your hanging out with indecorous girls. Why do you think the one uses so much honey in her tea? Uh-huh. She needs gallons of it.

I say get Ranse to do it for you since Doniphon is too cowardly to do it anyways, pilgrim.

But yes, I do like the outfit. I "know."

Well that's just ridiculously cool. The poster or the outfit? I'm guessing the outfit. Brilliant poster, Kyle.

I'm going to see CLUNY BROWN on the big screen Friday night! Yay!!!! Wow! That's fantastic! Cluny Brown is a film you have really spoken highly of on this board. I'm very excited for you. And supposedly, Molly Haskell and Andrew Sarris are going to appear to introduce it. Even better.

I wonder if Loretta Young's mailbox was ever as full as yours, Mrs. Max.

Shows how much YOU know! I'll fully aware of my not knowing much at all. That I know.

Good morning, Kyle! -- The morning just became all the more good for me after seeing a Grace Kelly poster. Thank you! Hey, Minya -- Duran Duran wore make-up? In the early days, some of them were very make-upey. That's why out of all of them, John Taylor made it on to an early version of the List Of Men I Plan To Marry One Day. I didn't know trashy girls had such lists. Do you dance on the sand? Just like that river twisting through a dusty land. Well, when no one is looking, anyway. I'm impressed.

What's shakin', CineBaby? Well, heeeere's a sneak preview, Molo: What are you doin' teasin'? That ain't your style. But I must say, it's a nice change of pace. "I may not be physiologically equipped to talk about Gloria Grahame, but I'll give it the good ol' college try. Don't worry. I will keep it high brow and will discuss some of her roles. But one usually reacts to her physicality. Now of course we all know who the movie goddeses are: _____, ____, ____. You can fill in the blanks your own way. I'll opt for: Ava, Lana, Rita, Hedy, Elizabeth and Sophia. She may not be a love goddess, but there's something about Gloria. Love goddess: no. Sex goddess: yes. My reaction to Gloria is almost always a sexual one. Is that high brow enough for you? HER VOICE: Her voice was not whispery or baby-doll. It was sharp, tart. She didn't squeal and wasn't breathless, but you could hear the hurt in her voice... if she let you. I like that, CM. I definitely like Gloria's voice. I'm still trying to put my finger on why. HER BODY: She was not voluptuous like Kim, Marilyn or Jayne. She had delicate features but you know she knew her way around the bedroom... Stop that! I usually don't like the voluptuous girls all that much, although I do like girls with hips. Gloria's figure was lovely but that's not what attracts me to her. It's how she uses her body that really draws me in. In "MACAO" you could see the astounding super-structure of Jane Russell from outer space. But Gloria was like a quiet heat-seeking missile who'd look you square in the eyes with arched eyebrows that said "I dare you!" You used the term that I feel applies to Gloria in Macao in your next paragraph: sex kitten. She's very feline in Macao. Her fur is very soft and she has the ability to rub up on you even from a distance. Meow. She could be cultured or tramp, victim or vamp. She was a sex kitten that you'd just want to cuddle and nothing more; unless she let you. She was glorious and under-rated. She was Gloria Grahame. You are very correct about Gloria being "cultured or tramp, victim or vamp." In fact, she could be all that with just one character and that's a big reason why I like her. She's many women in one. I love those type of girls. Will this be okay for a start??? Yes! That's a pretty damn good tease. I like your style, T. I always have.

I can only speak for myself, but having grown up in the eighties I can honestly tell you this is not the case. I must have been the only girl in my group not to lust after Robert Smith. Although I did have many, many Duran Duran posters on my wall. Duran Duran wore make-up? Okay, I'll take your advice and avoid the make-up, Rio. Do you dance on the sand?

You better head over to your house, Coopsy's Clarita. You're at #2000.

Maybe us Southern belles have had enough of you yanks! I guess you really have turned on us since you?re clearly ignoring my PM?s . Uh-oh. I guess I better watch tonight's films to learn how to make-up to a Southern belle. I've got it! The best way to make up to a girl is to wear make-up. I learned that from Coop.

I must be! Because I'm seeing things. I'm seeing worthwhile, interesting posts by FRANKGRIMES. You are seeing things because of your champoo stupor, Mrs. Bullock. When you come to, you will quickly realize that I'm always interesting and worthwhile... when no one is looking.

Hola, SoKyle -- Turn the photo over. What you'll see are four knives in my back. That's the only reason those four girls would gather around me. Ciao, Miss Former Blonde Goddess -- Hmmm....I'm not sure I'm happy going from blonde to brunette and you certainly would never catch me looking at FrankGrimes so adoringly, unless I was up to something really baaad. When are you not up to something really, really, exceptionally baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad?

Dydd da to you, Mr Grimes! And many, many thanks for the wonderful screencaps! You're not looking at me adoringly, are you? The gentlewoman, Mrs O'Hara, who had an eye to every tiniest detail of running her household. "Calm and kind." Losing her shattered rugged old Mr. O'Hara. Wow! You're in an expressive writing mood. The delightfully dizzy Mrs Bullock! She lived in her own happy orbit where no worries or trouble could penetrate. All she asked was for everyone to be as pleasant and amusing as possible around her. And she was so imaginative. That's a rare quality, especially on Fifth Avenue. I guess that's where one of her daughters got her imagination. We'll have to ask Mr. Bullock about "all she asked." And best of all, Beth Morgan! You picked each of my favorite scenes with her, too. Nothing is more important to her than her dear family, which included her daughter-in-law, Bronwyn (Anna Lee). Sara, the "old beauty," should have gotten an Oscar. She has a dozen of them in my heart. You even have a kind, warm heart this morning. What's wrong? Are you ill? You better head to Coop Land, Jabber Jaws.

It's "Southern belles" night? Oh, crap. I've had enough with the Southern "belles," thank you. Bette looks mighty fine in that poster, Kylefornia. I like it.

Dydd da, Missy G -- What a wonderful list or mothers and daugthers! I loved how you went the extra mile in sharing why you like your favorite movie moms. That was excellent.
