I'm terrified! I can see all the bandits, outlaws and various psychopaths that peopled the West turning up on it. Or, in other words, just about anybody Gary Cooper or John Wayne shot. I've decided to make my top ten more of a "good guys" list because the next list I'm curious about with you is, who are your top ten favorite villains in westerns? I'll come up with my own list for that later on, too. Like I said, I really don't have a deep enough pool to draw from, but I know you and others do, so maybe I'll pick up some titles to check out.

I think when I go on vacation I'm just going to eat my way there and back. Yay!

That's a wonderful display of some ugly cowpokes. Way to go! I like the Hondo pic the best. You're gonna just love my top ten cowboys.

The "A" girls want you to believe they are sweet but they are not. You are being tricked. yeah like you arent! I'm not being tricked. I know they are bad. And you are the sneaky one, Baby. see, now youre confusing me again! one minute im sneaky, the next im sweet, the next im snippy, the next im innocent, the next im not! for lizzy's sake...MAKE UP YOUR MIND FRANKIE! heehee! Okay, I've made up my mind: you are an obstinately sweet and snippy sneak. It's the girl in the skirt that means the most, and you're the most, Kim! and how is this so mahtin? did you read it in a gossip magazine? tsk, tsk, tsk. its guys like you that bring girls like me to issues like this. heehee! Issues like what? Well, Francie was not willing to be as naive as you. If "Mr. Burns" lied to her about his identity, he could also lie to her about stealing the jewels. dont you see?! he had to lie to her about his identity, but he didnt lie about anything else! as my mother always says, "its in the script!" heehee! she was just being an obstinate girl and chose not to believe her love! Well, it was "in the script" that Francie had to turn The Cat in. She didn't realize she loved him then, either. She had to learn she loved him. Stubborn girls are like this. i dunno its just like an instinct telling me to wish you all the unhappiness the world has to offer. You have succeeded. I shall forever cry. oh im so sorry! polease dont cry frankie!!!! ill sing you a song, will that make you better? No! You'll sing me Celine Dion and that'll make me angry. I'm glad your pretend doll puts a smile on your face since she's with you all the time. Your pretend doll has the opposite effect on me. forget it, i dont wanna sing YOU a song anymore. heehee! funny isnt it? i thought i saw you smile a couple times.....and it wasnt my imagination! I'm smiling upside-down. One minute it's boiling chocolate and the next it's frozen. Why can't you just accept my kind, caring, loving words with open arms, Bullhead? because they are hateful, bad, indecorous, meanie words and you know it fly meanie! heehee! I told you that your beauty shall haunt a mansion forever. And your trashy taste in film haunts this board. Elizabeth was just angry because she couldn't spend all of his money that evening. She's extremely snippy. Now I see where some people around here learned such behavior. Thanks, Jane Austen. and thats why she turned down his first marriage proposal too?! That's because she had a couple dates with richer men lined up. When those men wisely turned her indecent advances down, she chose ol' puddin' face, Mr. Darcy. lizzie was never snippy, You're the second-to-last person I'd want telling me someone wasn't snippy. You don't think you are snippy. and she was the way she was, b/c mr. dacry had to be shown somehow. Mr. Darcy had to be shown what? He's a snob from start to finish, just as Lizzie is snippy from start to finish. me? snippy? where'd you get that idea? Yes, you. goodness, april where are you?! You probably drowned your pretend doll. Bloomers are much to racy! I cannot believe your grandmama allows you to watch this kind of filth. um....in fact grandmama started giggling with me when my mouth dropped and i first saw that scene. She should have covered your eyes! It's no wonder you now listen to a Finishing School Girl. i think those bloomers actually overdo it a bit. heehee! I should say so! I can actually see the shape of Greer's legs. How revolting! Women need to be covered in many layers of clothing at all times. Indecorous Lizzie, stripping in front of the window for all to see. youll never drop that scene will you? Seeing a woman drop her dress in a moving picture startled me so. I was not prepared to see such lewd behavior. To Lizzie's credit, she at least knows she's a horrible lady. Why haven't you learned this lesson, Unsweetened T? You should be ashamed, too. he should have been ashamed too! he was one of the reasons he and bingley went away and left poor jane and lizzy to cry because they missed their loves! and they were in love, and i would have said that too. It wasn't Darcy's fault, it was Lizzie's. Lizzie refused Darcy's love immediately. Even after he spoke so highly of her beauty and charm when he first saw her. The only reason Lizzie "loves" him is that he's rich. I really do like Jane Austen and the lessons she teaches young girls. It's very intelligent.

Bonjour, Femme Fatale With Long Black Gloves -- That's funny, because the Goddess' credo is almost identical to that: needless to say i will ALWAYS drink any pure alcoholes excessively in my lifetime. my pretend doll would never say such a thing. she's too sweet! I wasn't speaking of your pretend doll, Silly Goose. I'm was speaking of Miss G. Now I must flee. i was getting worried you would never leave! heehee! Ahhhh, such love. that has to be my FAVORITE scene in Emma. oh april i am so enjoying these screen caps from there! thank you! i dont think you should have posted that scene in front of frankie thought, i think he will have it out with you for surely now, so watch it. Have it out with your pretend doll? I'd never think of doing such a thing. They'd place me in the bunk next to you and Smithy at the mental ward. Talk about nightmares. isnt it funny how we drink champoo every once in a while. i myself find it quite voluminous and exhilerating to drink at least once a week. heehee! Say what?! You are not supposed to be drinking that stuff. That's the stuff of floozies! I knew it was only a matter of time before you were ruined by the Finishing School Girl. This is terrible news. yes we must be OCD with frankie around. its vital we get rid of all dirt on our tea table. heehee! You floozies like to brush your dirt under the table. some cream? It's sour, just like you and your pretend doll. ooh! i just made some chocolate banana bread yesterday, would you care for a piece? Yes! I'll take three! Bonjour, Champoo Floozy -- For your information, slanderer, Yes, traitoress... I do not drink 'pure alcohol', You're right, "drink" is too demure a word. "Guzzle" is more like it. I only drink Champoo every once in a while. With "a while" meaning, every twenty minutes. But you only have "once" then. Right now I'm enjoying my sweet, honeyed tea with Theresa, I hope you're thirsty, because you're gonna need to consume gallons of "sweet and honeyed" to make any difference with you, Snippy.

needless to say i will NEVER drink any pure alcoholes excessively in my lifetime. That's funny, because the Goddess' credo is almost identical to that: needless to say i will ALWAYS drink any pure alcoholes excessively in my lifetime. Now I must flee.

dont tell me you are already on your second cuppa. More like fourth glass. Au revoir!

You WERE sweet and innocent, but, despite my many warnings, you kept talking with the bad influence "A" girls and now you're a femme fatale... with long black gloves. the "a" girls are sweet....when not picking on me because im the baby of the fsmily. heehee! goodness! The "A" girls want you to believe they are sweet but they are not. You are being tricked. And you are the sneaky one, Baby. Is that what all the snobs are wearing this year? oh yes!.....with the exception of my polka dots skirt of course. heehee! youre a little behind in your fashion darlin'! It's the girl in the skirt that means the most, and you're the most, Kim! He lied to her about his name and background. That's not trustworthy. well were willing to forget that little incident. it was an accident! heehee! cary would never hurt a fly! and im not talking about you fly boy! Well, Francie was not willing to be as naive as you. If "Mr. Burns" lied to her about his identity, he could also lie to her about stealing the jewels. You don't wish me to be happy? Why? i dunno its just like an instinct telling me to wish you all the unhappiness the world has to offer. You have succeeded. I shall forever cry. Do you call for your pretend doll when you cry now? She'll only make you cry more. no you must be mistaken...april always puts a smile on my face, inlike someone else who's name is ken....hmmmmmm. heehee! I'm glad your pretend doll puts a smile on your face since she's with you all the time. Your pretend doll has the opposite effect on me. I'm too busy passing out words of love to stalk anyone. Smithy is quiet. He's quiet for murderous reasons. words of love? woah you really got it bad. let me feel your forehead....yup, april we must throw him into the frozen chocolate.....it just might cool him off....and give him a bump, but thats a minor detail. heehee! One minute it's boiling chocolate and the next it's frozen. Why can't you just accept my kind, caring, loving words with open arms, Bullhead? No, no, no. Mr. Darcy is stinkin' rich and Miss Elizabeth knows this. She only marries him for his money. Like I said, she's a very smart woman. I like her money-grubbin' style. oh is that why she waved her fan incredibly violently when she walked away from hearing him bash all over her? she could use that as a weapon. goodness! heehee! but its a good thing fans are innocuous. Elizabeth was just angry because she couldn't spend all of his money that evening. She's extremely snippy. Now I see where some people around here learned such behavior. Thanks, Jane Austen. Women should never be allowed to show that much skin! I had to cover my eyes until the scene was over. What kind of guy do you think I am? "isnt it? i havent dare shown it to mama." the kind of guy who watches it very closely without blinking. heehee! oh come now....now who's the dramatic one!? personally i like her little bow peep bloomers. heehee! Bloomers are much to racy! I cannot believe your grandmama allows you to watch this kind of filth. Snippy Liz with her weapon. Indecorous Lizzie, stripping in front of the window for all to see. To Lizzie's credit, she at least knows she's a horrible lady. Why haven't you learned this lesson, Unsweetened T? You should be ashamed, too.

Howdy, Gabby's Girl! -- He played his little league games at the American Legion ballpark so it was definitely very Americana. Me and some of the other kids who weren't playing would run around and play on the other fields and we always had fun. There were some cute boys on his teams and I always liked walking along behind the dugout giving them bubble gum . Of course me being 8 and them being around 11, they were way out of my league (pun intended ). When I read, "I always liked walking along behind," the word "Sugarbritches" flashed in my mind. You started early! Howdy, Miss Gabby! -- Maybe I can show up on Wednesday now that only two of Coop's films are being aired that day.

Yes, you ARE a perfect match. Aren't we, though. Cold needs warm and warm needs cold.

TCM has chosen to honor Gabby instead of Coop! This is the best news of the day for me! I'm thinking the Coop Gals will soon become the Gabby Gals. Gabby is the more handsome of the two. There's no disputing that.

Yes and we know about your selective memory, too! My memory is not selective. I remembered how much you adore Ranse and that your favorite actress of all time is Grace Kelly, Theresa. Imagine, you freeze our your little "lamby" in one thread and you're going to heartlessly neglect her man in another on Wednesday. You sure get vicious when you turn on a lambchop. Awwwwww, my sweet little lamby knows how much I adore her. I don't need to prove my love for her. Besides, she likes it cold. We're a perfect match! Uh-oh. It looks like I'm in trouble.

All the promises you've scattered over this thread and board like rabbit pellets! You must have me confused with another guy again. I don't remember promising a thing.

We know about you and your promises. What promises?

What hurts! Your thumb? You just got through saying you don't have a heart! You hurt my feelings... in my thumb. You're perfectly welcome to join us but you have to watch every Gary movie TCM airs on Wednesday....and then talk about them. No, no. I'm going to do as I stated and what you desire: stay far away. This thread is unbearable most of the year but it's going to become extra torturous in a couple of days.

Howdy, Coopsy's Clarita -- What a very interesting post. All of which was surrounded by baseball. I really enjoyed reading about your days with your grandpa and your cousin. That was very sweet, very Americana. And I guess you were too busy trying to catch the boys instead of trying to play catch with your cousin. You ain't got game. On second thought... Howdy, Miss G(ary) -- LADIES!! I just learned the most wonderful news in another thread in connecton with OUR DAY WITH GARY on Wednesday! Nothing TCM could have planned is equal to this: I'm going to avoid the board on May 7th. You won't see me anywhere near this place on that day. A traditional gentleman like myself shant dabble in such bad taste as that day shall bring on this board. I just cannot lower myself to partake in such revolting behavior. What a horrible day that is going to be. --- FrankGrimes Yay!! No one to spoil our fun! That hurts. I would have thought you would want me to be here on that day since I'm the person on the board who talks about Coop's movies the most. I guess all those countless hours I spent expressing my feelings and sharing my thoughts on Coop's movies were for naught. Well, it's best that I return to my lonely place now.

That's b/c you will be glued to the tv enjoying every second of every one of Gary's movies that they wil be showing . I know you're really looking forward to the shirtless scene in A Farewell to Arms . Is that the scene where he shaves his legs? I see that TCM is playing your VERY favorite Coop film on Wednesday: The Fountainhead.

Hiya, Miss Invisible Girl -- Is this really you? Okay, I just read your words. It's you. No other girl is as obstinate as you. Poor Sweet T. She doesn't know how bad she's going to get it on her Pride and Prejudice thread. If she doesn't strangle me now, she will certainly later. Why? What are you up to? Don't you dare sabotage her sweet little thread with your monkeyshines, Monkey. Sabotage? Sweet, innocent me? I'd never dream of such a thing. Haven't you heard? I'm a traditional gentleman. I'm just going to demonstrate to Theresa how to shoot archery. You could use a few lessons yourself, although they have nothing to do with archery. honestly you two! heehee! frankie you should be ashamed of yourself!!! Why?! I haven't done a thing. I'm just going to show you how to shoot archery in a very kind, gentlemanly way. its a good thing april is here to defend me aometimes. Your pretend doll cannot defend you. Why would you think such a thing? Do you need shock treatment? goodness! you are so cruel! Cruel?! You must mean to say, "you are so loving!" by the way frankie, you would be surprised at my dexterity with a bow and arrow. i have my own bow and a target. No, I would not be surprised. You have good practice at killing guys. The sign reads, "SUCKER." okay my bow and arrow are set! Hey! Watch where you are pointing that thing! I'm examining the behavior of snippy, pushy, stubborn, bullheaded girls. such pathetic excuses you always come up with mr. frank furter! heehee! i just dont understand why you love for us to murder you all the time. beats me! "I don't!" I love that closing line from Pride and Prejudice. Gentlemanly manners?! My dear, I wrote the book. I just didn't read it. you wouldnt know gentlemanly manners if they hit you upside your head and bit you! How dare you speak such falsehoods. Are you not a lady? Your pretend doll is now your sister? It's time to send you to the Mental Institution with Smithy. Maybe he can serve you and your pretend doll some tea. and maybe its time for us to send YOU to a jane austen tea party, that might shape you up! I much prefer a lengthy stay at a mental institution to one Jane Austen tea party. smithy isnt in a mental institution anymore! he ran away and paula took care of him and they got maried and everything! sigh. heehee! Then they went on a killing spree together. Why do you always forget to tell the entire story? i think youre full of cranbery juice! I think an obstinate girl is full of that. i am neither, mr-we-havent-mudered-you-enough-times-grimey-person! You are both, Man Killer. My heart is not cold. I'm not the one who thinks breaking up marriages is a good thing. how many times do i have to tell you, mary rafferty is not a homewrecker!? Believe what you wish, but the truth is, Mary is a homewrecker. What makes her so evil is that she planned it that way. She chose to drown Paul's heart in the ocean just so that he would have to look elsewhere. Then, once he found the most perfect wife, she made the move to ruin the lives of all involved. greer wouldnt know how to treat her man horribly if it hit her in the face and i hope it never does. She needed a good smack in the face for ruining Smithy, Paul, and Mr. Collins' lives. first of all you need to stop lying about not seeing Pride and Prejudice, heehee! second, she didnt ruin anyone's life! i think you need a good slap from clark gable. heehee! he was an expert at slapping. Clark Gable slaps but Gary Cooper punches women in the face. Why do you girls like men who are violent to you? Look who I'm asking, the girl with long black gloves who strangles and drowns every guy she runs into. she was too sweet, unlike some people around here....heehee! You shouldn't say such bad things about Miss Goddess. how utterly indecorous! im talking about you! Me?! That's not me. You described Miss Goddess to a perfect "T", though. sweet april is the sweet innocent one! Your pretend doll is nowhere near sweet or innocent. She's utterly indecorous. Why would you want me to jump off a cliff? Why must you wish me dead? gee, i wonder why, think about it for a minute. im surely your short term memory loss will return shortly as the spell wears off. heehee! What spell? It is you who is under a spell.

What's the word, Bronxie? -- A heart? You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Good point. I do pride myself on my heartlessness. And listen, my sentimental friend, hearts are never judged by how much you love, but how much you are loved by others. So that's why I have no heart! It all makes sense now. Pay no attention to the buffet in the corner. I usually don't. Hiya, Miss Gun For Hire -- Yes, MrGrimes, you definitely are DOOMED and your DOOMSDAY ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018846/ ) is.....Wednesday, MAY 7, 2008!. I hope you plan to do all that is necessary to make a peaceful exit from this vale of tears. I'll be dead by then anyways. I'll make sure of it! No tears from the vale, just cheers.

I'll be involved in a more important birthday on Wednesday - my wife's. Now that's worth celebrating! Happy Birthday to Mrs. Movieman... Moviewoman! HE will have to take a back seat. That's a place where he is very comfortable. Maybe you can spend time with Brahms or Tchaikovsky who will have birthdays as well. Your cultural cup is full whereas mine is empty. I raise my empty cup to your Mrs. Your cup runneth over... because of her.

Well, you ARE doomed. I just don't have the heart to tell you otherwise. Of course you don't have the heart to tell me because you are too busy trying to stab mine. Are you referring to the Chinese buffet with Mom yesterday? I'm still recovering from that. Yes, that's what I was referring to. I was full after reading it.

No one is past saving, not even you, my sweet little Gumby baby. Do you know where you are? This is the film noir forum. A doomed man is a doomed man. Lady Isabel-Bronxgirl-Sandwich-on-the-Rye I like that. I also liked what you had for dinner tonight. That was terrific.

"A head for you, a tail for me...." And that's how Frank will cease to be! (just joking Grimes. Watch Cranford tonight on PBS and you might save yourself) You're not joking. You're looking to put an end to me just as others are around here. And I'm way past saving. That should be obvious to all.

Hi, Miss Eliza! -- No, but you are, Femme Fatale. minor detail. heehee! i thought i was sweet and innocent. now youre just confusing me! You WERE sweet and innocent, but, despite my many warnings, you kept talking with the bad influence "A" girls and now you're a femme fatale... with long black gloves. come on, admit it....you want to wear make-up, so you can look good in black and white! Is that what all the snobs are wearing this year? i really dont mind It Takes a Thief, but havent you noticed that she always plays characters that dont stand by her men? honestly! that girl needs a talkin' to. heehee! she should have known that cary would NEVER do such a horrid thing! How could a girl trust "The Cat"? He's sneaky. because he's trustworthy again, she just shuts him out of her mind that way like a dummy. heehee! He lied to her about his name and background. That's not trustworthy. see...she looks all innocent in that pic, but really she is just waiting until it gets dark and then she'll strike! I hope! forget it, that would only make you happy. You don't wish me to be happy? Why? The girls with the pretty smiles are usually the most dangerous. They are hiding behind those smiles. im gonna cry!! APRIL!!!! Do you call for your pretend doll when you cry now? She'll only make you cry more. she's happy to see smithy being real chatty. heehee! He rarely has time to chat since he's always stalking his victims. no thats only you. I'm too busy passing out words of love to stalk anyone. Smithy is quiet. He's quiet for murderous reasons. I will give Jane Austen credit, she knows that the only way a woman can be smart is if she marries a rich guy. She's right about that. Now I understand why Austen is "intelligent" reading for women. Brilliant! no, isntthe moral of her story though...and by the way thats more evidence. heehee! jane austen teaches a lesson, that you should marry for love such as elizabeth and darcy set the example for all women to do. mrs. bennett just thinks her two eldest daughters married for moeny, but she also donest understand some things...poor baby, someone should tell her... oh mr bennet! heehee! No, no, no. Mr. Darcy is stinkin' rich and Miss Elizabeth knows this. She only marries him for his money. Like I said, she's a very smart woman. I like her money-grubbin' style. I'm very ashamed of you, Former Sweet and Innocent T. How could you make me watch a smutty film like Pride and Prejudice? Look at this filth: Women should never be allowed to show that much skin! I had to cover my eyes until the scene was over. What kind of guy do you think I am?

"I love "Some Came Running." It's a huge favorite of mine." - FrankGrimes That's great (and surprising) Now why is that surprising to you? Ohh, right, I'm boringly predictable. Or am I? Oh, wait, I am. though I don't think the poster is all that interesting. (All text. Little illustration.) I agree. A Some Came Running poster should be tastier than what was served. That poster is a "star power" poster more than anything. But I wanted to note tonight's beginning of the Sinatra Event on TCM - even though Some Came Running isn't scheduled until the end of the month. It put a smile on my face this morning. Your thread usually does. Well, except for all those days in January and February when you placed a scowl on my face. Grrrrr. This has been a very difficult month to plan out. Two days a week for Sinatra, exciting Essentials to acknowledge and Memorial Day - for which I have some really unique items to offer. And then there is that extra-special birthday on the 7th. With so many TCM events to plan around, it leaves little room for creativity. Maybe next month. But June has two nights a week for the Asian Images series. I guess there's always August. Such a menu! I'm going to avoid the board on May 7th. You won't see me anywhere near this place on that day. A traditional gentleman like myself shant dabble in such bad taste as that day shall bring on this board. I just cannot lower myself to partake in such revolting behavior. What a horrible day that is going to be.
