FrankGrimes

Bonjour, SoKyle -- Oh. I thought you were declaring yourself my "former biggest fan". I don't feel that way. I'll take all the fans I can get. That's much better. But if push comes to shove, it'll be hard not to choose the gal with the Gitanes and the Absinthe. Minya has both diseases? She's a bigger mess than I thought. Bonjour, Minya -- You're both gentlemen and scholars. Oh, yes, very much so. I have already proven my gentleman status. Howdy, Me -- Choosing Minya before FrankGrimes is not the surprise. Apparently he doesn't have either of those things. (I'm off to find out what those "things" are.) Hey! Be careful with my things now. Howdy, Fordy Guns -- Are you fond of your hair? Because then you should say goodbye to it. It's about to end up on Scar's lance. Why? I have not said a bad thing about Scar. I guess he's just interested in collecting scholarly gentleman scalps.

Good Morning! And "thanks". Guten morgen, Kylefornia! You are "welcome." "Your Former Biggest Fan" That was quick. You shoved me off the plank. But I don't mind getting shoved aside for Minya. Any girl with a "vampy dames" gallery, in her bedroom no less, takes first prize with me. And she's trashy! But if I remember correctly, your "tastes" were well rewarded this month - even though it was mostly due to a few unscheduled "In Memoriam" posts. Actually, you are very correct, you have been very kind to my tastes. And my accolades have far outweighed my grumblings. In all honesty, your "credit" with me shall remain high after your Grace Kelly postings on the "Coop" thread. You will only receive half of my hate for you for a while.

I had planned posting these "women's films" posters about a month ago - before I learned about your "vampy dames" gallery. Ahhhh, the "vampy dames" gallery. Just the thought wakes me up. (But I will admit the French pirate posters were completely spur of the moment.) And I'm hoping you spurred that moment straight off ye plank. Maybe May will be less to your liking. I promise you that May will not be to my liking, Winky. I've got my torch lit. I'm just awaiting the word. Terrific Susan Hayward poster! Your Former Biggest Fan

I can see you prefer the Belle Watlings of this world. They're honest. But I'm foolish. I like the Scarletts of the world. Maybe you should visit Missy in WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. (my favorite part of that movie is the cat in the opening credits) You have your choice between Jane Fonda and Capucine, or both. I'll take Lawrence Harvey. Or both? Now that is a "walk" on the wild side. I'll take one Scarlett. You can't pull the Scottish wool over this goil's eyes, Tom Doniphon. Maybe not Scottish wool, but SCOTTish wool I can. Give you back your meatball? I was about to ask you to push over some spaghetti and garlic bread. I'm such a pushover. Would you like some parmesan cheese?

Horrid film, eh?? Atlanta's not the only thing that's burning....grrrrrr. That's not very lady-like, Lady. Give me my meatball back! I know you're funnin'. At least, you BETTER be. You must be new to the board because I'm always serious. Life is no fun when funnin'. Serious is the only way to go. I just can't decide whether I want to be Lady Bronxgirl or Hallie Doniphon. Hallie Doniphon only works if you wish to be a coward's girl. Lady Bronxgirl sounds like the name of a brothel owner. I like that one best.

Hello my Tramp. Ruff-ruff! To paraphase Rhett: "Never in any crisis have I known you to be without a slice of pizza" That's my favorite line in that horrid film. Your Lady Bronxgirl That's the good kind of "Lady." Pip-pip and cheerio. Pass the fingerbowl, please. There's just no escaping the snobbery! Another snobbery!

Desperately, my little cuddlemuffin. Desperately... You must be desperate if you are looking to go to the dance with me. Even though I know you will dump me for another guy at the dance, I'd love to be your little cuddlemuffin before you tear my heart out, Kimme Fatale.

Howdy, Fordy Guns! -- I could also include French Fries. Crispy ones. Mmmm. This is making hungry and that's no good! I ate like a field hand at lunch. Say what?! You actually ate something fattening today? Yay! :x Howdy, Bronx Blossom! -- "I'm getting older, I can't exercise like I used to, sob, sob....ooooh! SAMSON AND DELILAH is on! I have just enough time to make myself a tuna sandwich before it starts!" That absolutely killed me! I've been killed a lot today, too. You are definitely my kinda dame, B. I love how your mind dances all over the place yet always stops for food.

Howdy, Lynn -- Second favorite to Kyle? Can I get any lower? Oh Frankie, don't be that way. You know that Lee Marvin is my main man so you both are in good company. Now how could I turn my back on a gal who says Lee Marvin is their "main man"? Well, I must confess, you do treat me with great respect unlike some of the "ladies" around here. And my "snippy" reference was not in reference to you. No, MISS Snippy knows who the "snippy" comment was intended for. I apologize for getting confused. You have so many women hanging around you I almost feel like I need a score card to keep their nicknames straight. The numerous bruises serve as my scorecard. I've got many snippy, obstinate, indecorous, and flagitious black-and-blue marks. I've got just one broken heart, though. You wouldn't want to be first best, trust me. No, you're probably right. If you can play second fiddle to Lee and Kyle, I can play second fiddle too. Fiddle-dee-dee! Did you watch Harvey this morning? No, but I do have the DVD. Well, one of these days you must watch. One of these days will become one of these days... one of these days. Anything to get me out of watching Ford, Coop, and Garson films. I hope you post on Molo's wonderful "Harvey" thread. Doesn't my time spent on your "The Searchers" thread count for anything? There are some gals on this board who'd like for me to do the same just so they can run me out of town on a rail. That won't happen. We won't let them. I don't know about that. It's a vicious, vengeful gang with many weapons. Those of us who appreciate your erudite sense of humor and your thoughtful way of looking at movies need you around here. Uh-oh. This is an ambush. There are days around here that can be as arid as Monument Valley (and by the way, Kyle -despite what he says- liked the Monument Valley ghost thread. ) and your movie thoughts are well appreciated. Have I said enough to get back in your good graces? You just scalped me. Hey, Molo -- I have some advice for you: don't be kind, gentle, and loving to the girls on this thread. That's all I have been to them and they have chosen to pay me back with such care by hurting me so. I've read their comments. You don't deserve it Frank but it's like the girls I knew in school. They wouldn't spend so much time and creativity abusing you if they didn't care so much about you. That's what I convinced myself at least. Don't let them fool you. Just one look, one smile, will find you on the pile. "Ford, yes"? You just earned a lot of brownie points. You can have my Ford brownies. The Fordian ladies who baked them forgot to add taste. Enjoy. I like a good Ford western every now and then. You better watch yourself because there are some around here looking to turn "now and then" into something painfully permanent. You need to bump the Double G thread and I need to watch a Double G film. I will at some point. I'm still waiting for CineMaven to post her comments that she promised a while back. I'm sure if you answered me, she'd chime in. Hola, Miss Holiday -- Well, I guess the only solution is that FrankGrimes will simply have to be my substitute. At least it will be a way to make sure he does watch some more quality movies. Like usual, you are hopelessly confused. Lynn said Ford films, not quality movies. I guess she wants to show us what hack filmmaking looks like first. Since you say you are a Traditional Gentleman, Mr Grimes, I trust you are delighted to be put under obligation to me. Be sure to take copious notes. Put under obligation to you? A fate worse than death. It looks like you, Miss T, are elected because there is no shred of gentlemanliness, traditional or otherwise, in Mr Grimes. A traditional gentleman is always at the service of a lady. Hi, Sweet T -- you really are striving for me to look dreadful arent you? making my make-up run and everything! If it looks good on Coop, it will look even better on you. i hope mr, darcy comes along and sees it and maybe he'll pick it up for me, like a GENTLEMAN! I doubt it. I can't see a gentleman helping you out. You are past the stage of helping. Smithy must have hit you on the head again. Everyone knows I'd never watch a film like Pride and Prejudice, especially since I know it's a favorite of yours. I like film noir and films with lots of blood and sex. I would be the last person to watch a trashy film like Pride and Prejudice. so now were getting somwhere. the reason you wont watch, or claim you wont watch P&P is because i love it, not because it isnt your kind of movie. that sinks the duck!......and YOU! You only like trashy films and my innocent eyes cannot watch such lewd behavior. That's the precise feeling of a femme fatale who has just strangled a man to death with her long black gloves. again with the black gloves. you arent going to forget about the black gloves are you? i guess ill have to strangle you again!....and then apologize. heehee! I like your brand of femme fatality. Such murderous manners you possess. Put your little finishing school doll down. She cannot do a thing to me. wanna bet? Your pretend doll has no power over me. She only has power over you because you keep talking to her despite her not being real. OOHHHH!!! Better Off Dead pics!! okay now i feel guilty all the sudden! why do you do this to me? first you accuse me of strangling you with my black femme fatale gloves,and then you go giving me BOD pics! youre so wishy washy! heehee! Feel guilty? You ARE guilty! "she's a delightful girl, with a strong grip." Monique has a long, black gloves kind of strangle grip, you might say. i love tha part when charles demar, laughs everytime he is around stallin. that makes me laugh just seeing him cry when laughing around him. im giggling now! haha! you forogt to post the pic of when ricky loses his balloon and jumps for it.....it kills me every time! The little jump in the air by Ricky makes me laugh, too. ......would you possibly mind posting some of the skiing clips with monique and lane? puppy dog please! i have some more gloria grahame pics for you!.....sweet ones! Okay, when I get some time later tonight, I'll do that.

I'm starting to believe you've been in the champoo tonight because you are rather funny. Now what would make a guy afraid of you, I mean, Ava in the dark?

You're pretty good at doing a handstand. Was this before or after the bubbly?

Well.....I must admit that if Ethan's throwin' the party I'll make sure we get good and rowdy! That's a girl! That Pandora party looks to be a Goddess party. One in the same.

Hi, Super Sweet Model Greer -- heehee! "twas beauty that killed the beast". Beauty strangled Beast with her long black gloves. im not as pretty as fay wray! I beg to differ. the mansion isnt THAT big anyway silly. It looks very lovely, especially now. i told you i dont mind gene. she isnt as bad as the impassive one. I agree. Gene is nowhere near as bad as Miss Impassive, Gary Cooper. Here's sweet, adorable Francie combing her lovely hair:

A party too rowdy for you?

Here's your "tea," me lady.

Gorgeous? Like the mansion could match your beauty. compared to that mansion? ha! im definitely no match. i thought myself unworthy of such a chance! but i relished it prodigiously! Worthy. Prodigiously worthy. Wow! Sweet T is a model! It was merely a matter of time. i dont think my modeling will go much further. heehee! but i thought it was interesting that i was supose to be modeling forthis mansion. i didnt even know it at the time when the pics were being taken. Everyone will soon be asking, "who's the beautiful girl featured on your website?" So is the mansion haunted? I know that it is. it is becoming a bed and breakfast, i dont think people will want to stay there if it is really haunted. i know for a fact that it isnt.i got a tour of the whole place. I know for a fact that it IS haunted. It will forever be haunted by your beauty. aawwww! how sweet. more P&P pics! im in heaven! i think ill go with thet hairstyle with the ringlets next time! heehee! that was actually my next choice if the frist choice wouldnt work. gene tierney's was next. heehee! Gene Tierney?!

im here if he objects!....which i highly doubt he will object anything you tell him to do. so i dont think i need to worry Objecting is the first order of a traditional gentleman. Most especially, the objection of a pushy WOMAN.

i have greer's hair style right now! Wolf whistle! my photographer( my grandmother's GOOD friend) was so excited that she got a teenager who wanted to do something different, so she called the owner of an 1800s mansion and the owner said she could take pics of me in their, and it was gorgeous!! Gorgeous? Like the mansion could match your beauty. but there was a catch, she had to have my permission to put my picture on her online sight for murchandising purposes!! she is making the mansion a bad and breakfast and i dont even look like myself in those pictures!! they are amazingly vintage! she said i looked very pin-up...without the pin-up. heehee! that was funny! Wow! Sweet T is a model! It was merely a matter of time. the owner of the mansion kept bringingdown her collection of vintage clothing and accesories and she let me use some of them in my pics, b/c they went with my dress beautifully. she was so nice and she found it hard to believe i was as young as i was and i knew all this stuff about old things. we reall became pals! it was so exciting!! okay im okay now, i just had to take a breath. heehee! So is the mansion haunted? I know that it is. I'll try to post some Greer caps from Random Harvest later tonight.

Hey, Lynn, dear -- Oh now, Frankie, you know that after Kyle you are my favorite and I'm not being snippy. Second favorite to Kyle? Can I get any lower? I try very hard not to be snippy with you because, unlike the other dames in your life, I actually like your opinions and think you are a well-read guy. Well, I must confess, you do treat me with great respect unlike some of the "ladies" around here. And my "snippy" reference was not in reference to you. No, MISS Snippy knows who the "snippy" comment was intended for. But, if you doubt my sincerity, I guess I'll always be second best with you. A girl can live with that considering the competition around here. You wouldn't want to be first best, trust me. Did you watch Harvey this morning? No, but I do have the DVD. I'm not beating him down. I called him well-read and complimented him but he refuses to comment about that instead calling me snippy and tells me to go to the devil. It's Snippy who likes to tell, uhhh, people to "go to the devil." I wouldn't do such a thing. I'm a traditional gentleman. BTW, Frankie, I'm still hurt. Doesn't my time spent on your "The Searchers" thread count for anything? There are some gals on this board who'd like for me to do the same just so they can run me out of town on a rail. What's the score, Molo? -- So this is where you go to torture Frank huh? Only once a year though??? For some, it's every few hours. Murnau? yes, Ford? yes, 50's Sci Fi? yes, Bergman? Well if I have too. "Ford, yes"? You just earned a lot of brownie points. You can have my Ford brownies. The Fordian ladies who baked them forgot to add taste. Enjoy. Oh and Frank, Don't let them beat you down now! Too late for that. I'm already down. There's only so much heartbreak one guy can take. I have some advice for you: don't be kind, gentle, and loving to the girls on this thread. That's all I have been to them and they have chosen to pay me back for such care by hurting me so. Bye the way, Double G was the answer to one of the the trivia questions over in the trivia thread today. Excellent! I just checked the thread and I see El Dorado Dan was the questioner. Dan is fantastic. He's very knowledgable and he asks the best trivia questions on the board. You need to bump the Double G thread and I need to watch a Double G film. What's the word, Cubs Mann? -- Wait until I get to lead a Fuller/Cassavetes class with the discussion starter of "Compare and contrast the acting techniques of Gene Evans and Timothy Carey, and explain why chewing the scenery is better than chewing the cigar." Why is it that I sense a Fordian coup in that class?

Woah! ...It's like someone read my mind. I have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite hang out Ohhhh, you just wanna go to the dance with me, admit it.

Hola, Teacher's Pet -- I actually like your opinions and think you are well-read guy Hee hee ha haaaa!!! Oooooh! Signed: The Pretend Doll I thought you'd eat that one up. I just wish y'all had some taste. Don't you girls like love and romance? None of the films you have suggested to me contain any love and romance. All I've seen are films about women purposely hurting men. I guess y'all find that to be romantic and quite loving. Are these comments addressed to me or to some "doll" you keep inflating at home? Because you're hitting the reply button on my name, Mister. I don't exist, remember? Ohhh, I know the Goddess exists. There's 10,514 hot-air-inflated reasons to know you exist. Like I'm going to be in a Ford class. I'll meet you in the boy's room. I do my best writing on the wall. I'll make sure to let you know which number NOT to call for a good time. Come on, it'll be fun! We'll even have a school dance! ChiO, are you paying attention? This is the one I was talking to you about in the boy's room. This one is for the Sweet, Sneaky Girl.

Oh come on now! It puts hair on your chest! Or is that hair on his chest? How does viewing Gary Cooper put "hair on my chest"? No, I think he's a big part of the neutering that you and Unsweetened T are attempting to do to me. And you are devious. You get me all fired up with Missy photos and then hit me over the head with a Coop pic. You are evil.

Hi, Minya -- Yeah, right, "in general." "In general," I think you have pretty decent taste. It's the specifics where you start to come apart. Did you stay up late just so you could make me feel bad? I know when I'm being insulted! I know when I'm being insulted! I.....I....ohhh, forget it. I stay up late to hurt everyone's feelings. It's quite enjoyable and very proper of me to do. It's far too early for me to muster proper outrage. Besides, I'm not really good at it. Oh, no? May I introduce you to some sensitive ponytails? I heard you are quite fond of such dashing men.

Howdy, Hurt Lynn -- I'm hurt. Really. That you wouldn't want to learn more about Ford and share your knowledge with the rest of us. I'll sit quietly in class and let others "educate" me. I've been told I have a lot to learn about hack directors like Ford, so I'll at least listen. Of all the girls here, I've been the one that tortures you the least and this is how you say thank you? I'm taking my wagon and going home. sniff, sniff. The least? Who are you tryin' to fool? You're sneakier than Butterscotch when it comes to torture. Let's see, there's "sniff, sniff," "flashing puppy dog eyes," and "go to the devil." Hmmm. The one sentiment is rather pushy and dripping in snippiness. Howdy, Fordy Guns -- I see he's pulling the old "i dont mind watching them." schtick that he tricks you with and then turns on you and blames you for "making" him watch 'trashy' films. Unbelievable. I just wish y'all had some taste. Don't you girls like love and romance? None of the films you have suggested to me contain any love and romance. All I've seen are films about women purposely hurting men. I guess y'all find that to be romantic and quite loving. Boiling chocolate sounds too pleasant. What would be unpleasant, Miss Unpleasant? Hiya, ButtersneakHomeWreckinGREER -- All day? More like, always. okay you just made me start crying! where's my gardenia hanky?! I hid it in the bushes, Liza. What?! I deserve so much more. You force me to watch two Greer films, Smithy's Random Harvesting of Female Victims and The Valley of Decisive Homewrecking, and my reward is abuse. I thought you would be appreciative, but there's no satisfying you. You're starting to remind me of another snippy, pushy, stubborn, wrongheaded girl around here. I told you she's bad for you. I MADE YOU WHAT?!! goodness me! iexcuse me, while i go over some of those PMs.....i believe you asked me if i wanted you to watch them when they came on TCM, but i said i wasnt going to make you watch anything....you said, and i quote, "i dont mind watching them." so i agreed since you didnt mind....ever since then, you have tortured my poor greer! oh poor greer! i'd give her a hug, but she isnt here right now! heehee! Smithy must have hit you on the head again. Everyone knows I'd never watch a film like Pride and Prejudice, especially since I know it's a favorite of yours. I like film noir and films with lots of blood and sex. I would be the last person to watch a trashy film like Pride and Prejudice. wow i justlet it all out.....so there! heehee! let me catch my breath for a second. That's the precise feeling of a femme fatale who has just strangled a man to death with her long black gloves. as i was saying.....april where's the vat of boiling chocolate?! Put your little finishing school doll down. She cannot do a thing to me.

Here are some pictures of a lady to make you feel like a man again. Unless you cross her. Sounds familiar. The first pick of Missy is steamy-dreamy. Thank you. Oops, who put that in here? Yes, who did? The neutering continues.
