Hi-di-ho, ChiO -- Did you see who's in first in the NL Central with the second-best record in the NL? Didya, huh, huh? Is it the Bucs? Now we're beating up NY teams. Oh, we know it can't last, but already the second 100 years is looking better than the first. I'm only at the beginning of my "100 years." Maybe we can pass baseball notes in class while the others are discussing Fordian slips. 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. Howdy, ButterscotchGLORIA -- i certainly hope so! you know me, i feel guilty if im mean all day to you. heehee! All day? More like, always. althought its more than you deserve! 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.

Pride and Prejudice (1940) A TRUE Romance!
FrankGrimes replied to butterscotchgreer's topic in Films and Filmmakers
I must depart, but before I do... oui monsiour!! "i am a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart". heehee! There is no such thing as a rational woman. There just ain't. on the contrary, you never compliment me! I compliment you ALL the time. I can't help it if you Jane Austen girls consider yourselves to be above my loving words. I try. you just wave your tough guy meaness in my puppy dog eyes and then how do i reply to that? I'm never mean to you. Everyone knows I shower you with kindness. Bashing sirsnobbery is something to be proud of. That's what traditional gentlemen do. i dont ever recall larry olivier, or ronald colman, or walter pidgeon bashing snobbery like you do! they were sweet men full of heart and compliments! Of course they don't bash sirsnobbery because they are snobs. I only turn violent when I watch trashy Greer Garson films. what from her films triggers such treachery? She's always looking to ruin men's lives. i can honestly say that i have never heard of any guy's anger being triggered by a romantic kiss in a greer movie. You've just met one. Another bullseye, Eliza. more evidence!! april you have to witness this! Your little finishing school doll can't witness a thing. Because you're wearing your femme fatale black gloves. oh come now, frankiefurter, i have already told you that i cant handle a gun, and im a klutz, so if i had a knife in my hand, i would probably set it down, b./c i would drop it inadvertently silly goose! You first drown a guy in your puppy dog eyes and then you strangle him to death while wearing your long black gloves. So Jane Austen intelligently teaches women to inform the men they long for to "go drop dead"? How romantic. you said it! i didnt! heehee! So Jane Austen girls want to romance a dead man? As someone may say, "grossness!" you cant spring puppy dog eyes on me! thats not fair, thats my job! i have a tear coming......its so sad to see someone i know crying unless its out of joy, and by that picture, you dont look happy. Everyone knows how much it hurts me, a sweet angel, to be treated so horribly. Now look who's crying for me... -
well i figured i was "snobbish" enough on the P&P thread. heehee! i had to make up for it! That's a good start, Snobby.

Hitchcock wanted Joan Fontaine for some of his films after Suspicion (1941). But David O. Selznick refused to loan her out. In terms of performances, I place Joan's near the very top of the Hitch list. Most of Hitch's ladies weren't asked to play wide emotional ranges, but Joan was in both Rebecca and Suspicion. Tippi Hedren was another of Hitch's actresses who was asked to do so, too. Tippi doesn't get the credit she deserves. Sadly, Alfred Hitchcock and Ernst Lubitsch didn't get a chance to direct more intense dramas. Ernst Lubitsch directed a brilliant "anti-war" film called Broken Lullaby. There are lots of brilliant camera shots in the film. Playwright Robert E. Sherwood praised this film by calling it "The best talking picture that has yet been seen and heard." But the film turned out to be a box office disaster. So Ernst Lubitsch didn't make serious films after Broken Lullaby (1932). Robert E. Sherwood wrote the screenplays for films like Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). I can't really speak on Lubitsch, but in regards to Hitch, I'm glad he didn't make too many intense dramas. I prefer his "boy" films the most. I think when he chose to be serious, he stripped himself of his own personal touch. He would lose his boyish mischief.

Howdy, California Kid -- "The California Kid may be headed for a hangin'. I'd like to help ya out, pardner, but you've done me wrong too many times. You're on your own, son." - FrankGrimes How quickly they turn. But I ain't afraid. You're not the only one who can play Will Kane around here, ya know. Though now I'll have to recruit someone else to help me with my plan for "May 7th". If the plan is putting an end to the "Cooper" thread, I'm with ya 100%, pardner. Something must be done. I've had enough of them gals coming into town and thrashing everyone with their silver-knobbed whips. It's about time someone stands up to them. Doniphon has been cowardly hiding in the shadows for too damn long. Now pardon me while I go to the beauty salon to fine the most stunningly perfect shade of lipstick for the big day. A fella must always look ever so pretty. And my indifference to Wayne and Westerns isn't exactly "news" to 'lzcutter'. So why are you shhshing us, Shhhshy? You are so dramatic. I wish you'd follow my lead and just speak it straight. I'm always on the level. She knows I'd rather discuss Young Mr. Lincoln than Rio Grande. Besides, it's not like I brushed off William A. Wellmann. (Which I kinda did once. She humored me.) Lynn nearly scalped me for saying Barbara Stanwyck should have been the "Star of the Month" for her 100th birthday instead of her beloved Randy Scott. She's a tough dame. "That's a rather strange poster for "Red River"." Duh! It's Danish. Have you seen their furniture? I guess John Wayne must have seen their furniture because he looks like "The Mummy" in that poster, pilgrim. And I turned into a mummy after seeing a John Ford poster today. You talk tough when it comes to not caring about what Lynn thinks of your dislike (indifference, my rear) of John Wayne, but your actions are weak. You actually make Doniphon look brave. Howdy, Tough Dame -- Bad news. Kyle copped to both a few years ago so his posting it again came as no surprise. He must live in fear of you if he's whispering the word. What did you do to him? Do all the women on this board take great pleasure in hurting men? I've never seen such a thing before. He paid the price back then, no need in further torturing him about it at this late date. I believe it's time for a review of Kyle's misdeeds. Thankfully, my slate is sparkling clean. You are going to watch Harvey in the morning aren't you? Uh-oh. Don't tell me I'm about to get the business Kyle got before. -

Vous ?tes une dame ind?cent, Femme Adult?re! Yes, like hating kind, caring gentleman like myself. Such manners. no, thats in your imagination too It's in my imagination that you are always looking to drown me? And for what? For telling you that you are sweet. Such ungrateful behavior. she taught me to stand up in front of men such as yourself, that take pride in bashing "british snobs" Bashing sirsnobbery is something to be proud of. That's what traditional gentlemen do. im starting to believe that you live in a violent world darlin'. I only turn violent when I watch trashy Greer Garson films. im just never going to win! Another bullseye, Eliza. I haven't seen it. I speak the truth. Why don't you believe me? You know I'm always upfront and honest with you. "then why do i see fear behind your eyes?" heehee! Because you're wearing your femme fatale black gloves. "Elizabeth" longs for the day when I'm treated with love from prissy, snippy girls. no, she longs for her darcy, whom she just told to go drop dead basically. sounds familiar....... So Jane Austen intelligently teaches women to inform the men they long for to "go drop dead"? How romantic. and the last time i checked, she wasnt longing for you. She was just longing for me to be loved and appreciated. She knows how needless and uncalled for the abuse has been against me. you arent a gentleman! youre a conieving, man of such an imagination. -
Hey, Konway -- Did anyone noticed the difference between Mrs. Danvers in the novel and Mrs. Danvers in Hitchcock's film? Its true that Selznick insisted to make the film faithful to the novel. But in the film, I found Mrs. Danvers very different. I think Hitchcock might be responsible for the changes in character. In the novel, Mrs. Danvers is old and more like a jealous mother figure. She looked after Rebecca, since she was a child. But in the film, we see a much more younger Mrs. Danvers. And we don't know anything about the past of Mrs. Danvers in the film. The only thing we know about Mrs. Danvers is she became to Manderley when Rebecca was a bride. I've never read the novel, so I don't have the foggiest. The Goddess should be intimately familiar with the book, so maybe she can chirp about it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on some of Hitch's prospective projects. The Constant Nymph sounds interesting and I'm sure it would have been twice as devilish if Hitch directed it. I adore Alma.

GWTW Named All Time Favorite in Poll
FrankGrimes replied to MissGoddess's topic in Films and Filmmakers
Ciao, Minya -- I never liked the word "lady". Too matronly and old-fashioned. I'm with you on this one, as well-not that I don't have any sense of class (she said with a pointed glance in Grimey's direction) but that word was never one I saw in connection with myself. What's with the pointed glance? You don't think I believe you lack a sense of class, do you now, Trashy? I think you just want a Scotsman or an Irishman to whisk you away, Lassie. You say that like it's a bad thing. By no means. You can have all the Scots and Irishmen you wish to have. I shall not stand in your way. That's a step up for me. I'm usually being told, "aller au diable." Yes, I could see that. You just couldn't wait to get back to this thread to tell me that, could you? Welllll, maybe. It's such a great phrase, and one that is used far too little. In general, I mean. Yeah, right, "in general." "In general," I think you have pretty decent taste. It's the specifics where you start to come apart. Howdy, Sweet Texas T -- ["Special phrase"? What's so special about it? its specila, b/c april has a line that actually gets under your skin. heehee! Your doll talks to you and says bad things about me? Are you okay? By the way, there is one WOMAN on the board who doesn't have to say one little thing to get under me skin. Her powerful, snippy perfume makes my skin crawl. Of course I do! Do you really expect me to like it? Greer Garson is in it, so there's absolutely no way I can like it. None. well knowing you......yes i do expect you to like it. heehee! you are a softy underneath the bad boy film noirness. heehee! I guess you are right because I believe in wedding vows, unlike that homewreckin' Mary Rafferty. She's worse than any femme fatale. if greer garson is in it, it must be a whopper of a movie and totally worth seeing. wouldnt you whole-heartedly agree with me? I agree! I love Greer Garson in To Catch a Thief, Rear Window, High Noon, and Mogambo. She's a total sweetheart. Mr. Collins is my favorite, so I shall call you "Liza," Liza. but "liza" reminds me of liza minelli, cant you just call me lizzie? heehee! No! I think "Liza" suits you best. It matches your prissy way. Killing snobs is for good. but you call me a snob just the other day?......does this mean you are wanting me to be killed off....and by my greer? what a dreadful thought! APRIL why didnt he die in the chocolate?! we need to come up with something majorly quick! You're definitely a Jane Austen snob and it's only a matter of time before "Paula" smacks you over the head like she did Smithy. I think you need a good crack anyways. my idea of an intellectual story is the one i am reading called "North by Northanger" lizzie and darcy are married and pregnant and are solving a mystery! beat that one! Ohh, that's a great book! Can you believe Lizzy cheated on Darcy and is carrying another man's child? I wonder if Darcy will find out who the mystery man. Don't look at me. -

Howdy, Pilrgrim -- "I am not a big Western fan and thus not a big John Wayne fan..." - Minya Me either (please don't tell 'lzcutter') Well, looky here. The California Kid may be headed for a hangin'. I'd like to help ya out, pardner, but you've done me wrong too many times. You're on your own, son. I suggest hittin' the trail before you catch your death. That's a rather strange poster for Red River. Don't know if you noticed but the artwork has Dassin's "signature" on it - like the way an artist signs a painting. I wonder if he was the "creator" of the image or if this is a scan of a poster someone had him sign. I like to think it is the former. I did notice Dassin's "Johnny Hancock" and I have no idea if he had anything to do with the poster or if he just signed the poster. Hola, Minya -- There are back rooms? Yes, Me Lady Tart. Why am I just hearing about this now? Because you have to prove your backroom worthiness first. You're doin' pretty good, Shallow Gal. -

Bonjour, Mademoiselle Collet Mont? -- i dont hate you....its all in your mind. heehee! jane austen taught me many valuable things thank you! Yes, like hating kind, caring gentleman like myself. Such manners. I rather make you cry. That's more fun. how mean! you know i dont like to cry in front of other people! i cant help crying to my favorite movies. it comes naturally......you make me cry on purpose! because you think its fun, but it really tears me up inside....im telling you......jack the ripper! I'm not Jack the Ripper. That's Smithy. elizabeth bennett if you recall, didnt like crying in front of mr, darcy either. I have no idea what you are talking about. None. So do you honestly believe I'm going to like Pride and Prejudice? going to? you have already seen it. we have evidence! april where are you, you are suppose to be backing me up on the evidence! he has me backed up into a corner! I haven't seen it. I speak the truth. Why don't you believe me? You know I'm always upfront and honest with you. Bonjour, Mademoiselle Agressif -- I don't believe he buys dvds to watch them, he just buys them to torment us with an occasional screencap. Some of us mortals have our own spells. I bet he never even watched High Noon and all that talk about his "lambchop" was just tomfoolery. Have you actually watched the movie, Mr Grimes? I'll let Helen Ramirez answer that one for you, Mrs. Harv... "Elizabeth" longs for the day when I'm treated with love from prissy, snippy girls. -

well no one said you had to chat with me! partir en vacances!!!! oh yes! that is my design in life! to kill you off, or havent you heard? I've heard and felt. Why do you hate me? I'm a kind, loving soul. I guess Jane Austen girls are told to hate kind, loving men. weddings are a part of life and everyone loves to go to weddings. you are a softy, you should like them! Not me. Weddings are a bore. There better not be one in Pride and Prejudice. You're right, I have seen No Country for Old Men a couple times. Would you like me to post some caps on your thread? I could find the bloodiest, if you like. r?pugnant! if you want me fainting constantly go right on ahead! I rather make you cry. That's more fun. So do you honestly believe I'm going to like Pride and Prejudice? -
If you carry my books and take notes for me, I might throw you a couple pity kisses . You don't know how many times I've heard those words. Those aren't the classroom stories I've heard. Hey, you're supposed to keep that to yourself . Just don't get any ideas. Pride of the Flubs, just doesn't have the same ring to it . Ring? Do you and ChiO even know what that is?

There's a wedding in Pride and Prejudice? I'm definitely not watching it now. No way, no how. yes and thats the best part! oh im sorry, you ABSOLUTELY cant ruin your reputation now can you? sheesh! If I'm watching prim and priss weddings, I'm dunfer. I hope you are happy about killing me off. There's a confession of love in the film, too? Do you really expect me to watch this trash? I think it's time for me to watch No Country for Old Men again. ew! not on MY pride and prejudice thread you arent! frankie how could you even mention such a trashy movie on this thread? heehee! and you have already seen it, come on you already slipped a couple times darlin. You're right, I have seen No Country for Old Men a couple times. Would you like me to post some caps on your thread? I could find the bloodiest, if you like. -
Howdy, Coopsy's Clarita -- I changed my mind, I wanna sit behind the sleepy cowboy!!!! It would be much more fun to blow kisses at him than throw spitballs at you . Where are my kisses? There's no way I'd be in the same classroom as you. Let's just say, I've heard stories. Hey now, I only cheated in that one class and I had a lot going on that year. I had dance lessons, was in band, the flag corps, annual staff, key club and I was taking Algebra II (by far my worst subject). There was no time to study chemistry. My teacher was also insane and he would tell you something once and never go back over it. Heck, I didn?t even cheat very well as I just barely passed . Those aren't the classroom stories I've heard. At least you don't give up double-digit runs in every damn game. And we're supposed to have pitching! I?ve got an idea let?s play ?whose team has the higher closer?s ERA? ! Ours is 10.80. It was 12 something but he had one scoreless inning yesterday so it dropped a little. Valverde has yet to have a 1-2-3 inning and in 8 IP?s, has given up 4 homers. It?s a good thing I dye my hair, b/c it?s probably turned white. People are starting to call him the ?Latino Lidge?. I can?t go through another season of a crappy, unreliable closer. The closer is an imaginary position in Pittsburgh. Sadly, so was starter this weekend, too. But I'd still rather watch the Bucs get shellacked every game than watch one single Gary Cooper film. Now that's real torture. You better pay attention in class then b/c I heard punishment for cheating is you have to watch one of Gary?s early films where he?s wearing makeup. Let?s just say, I will have to bone up on my cheating skills ! I think Coop may be the biggest cheater in the class. :p What's the SCORE, ChicagOwen? -- Leon "Bull" Durham just doubled in Bob Dernier and Ryno, it's 17-6 now. But I'd still rather watch the Bucs get shellacked every game than watch one single Gary Cooper film. I knew it! You are a Cubs fan! Anything to get out of a Coop film. I think your first extra-credit assignment (not that I mean to imply you'll need extra-credit) should be: Why THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES is my favorite baseball movie and how Gary Cooper played first base better than Willie Stargell. Trust me, I'll need extra-extra credit. A Coop film about the Yankees... can it get any worse? Maybe a Coop film about the Cubs? This one's for Pops... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw6F3Sf-PGw

Pride and Prejudice (1940) A TRUE Romance!
FrankGrimes replied to butterscotchgreer's topic in Films and Filmmakers
Have you been hiding in the bushes? one of the things i dearly looooooved about the Colin Firth version was that they showed the wedding at the end! a double wedding between jane and lizzy. sighs!!! i just loved actually getting to see the wedding! it is always so exciting. There's a wedding in Pride and Prejudice? I'm definitely not watching it now. No way, no how. the most recent one in 2005....how do i put this....i have to be honest. i fell alseep watching it. heehee! it was an accident! honest! i didnt want to, but keira knightly just ruined my elizabeth bennett for me. although i did like the love scene in the end when they finally confess their love for each other, but even that scene wasnt as great as the original for me. There's a confession of love in the film, too? Do you really expect me to watch this trash? I think it's time for me to watch No Country for Old Men again. -
So does my knowledge of all things Coop make me one of the fast cool kids? Ohh, sure it does. The make-up class is down the hall and to the left. Seriously, my chemistry teacher in high school called me and my group of friends "bad influences". A-ha! Proof positive! I hope Sweet T is reading this. Granted, my best friend and I did cheat to pass that class, but he had no proof . Other than that one class, I was a model student . There's no way I'd be in the same classroom as you. Let's just say, I've heard stories. Me and you will sit behind Frank so we can shoot spitballs at him. We?ll also continue the taunting of how bad his Pirates are doing. It?s a shame they can?t be having as good a season as my Astros . At least you don't give up double-digit runs in every damn game. And we're supposed to have pitching! But I'd still rather watch the Bucs get shellacked every game than watch one single Gary Cooper film. Now that's real torture. I see that somebody is sleeping in class again... And who the heck is responsible for this vandalism?

Howdy, Lynn -- Glad to have you on board. I hope Frankie (and others) will throw in with us as well. Come on, Frankie, it will be fun. Think of the knowledge we could share. Knowing me, I'd put off watching the film at hand until the final day of class and then show up, all ready to talk about it. By the way, Harvey is coming up on the TCM schedule. Is your TIVO ready? TiVo? We don't need no stinkin' TiVo. Ciao, Miss Goddess -- I'll sign up as the first very apt pupil! Just don't let FrankGrimes sit behind me. Ohh, I guess you want me to sit next to you so we can hold hands. That's so sweet of you. :x And some poor guy is definitely carrying THIS icky girl's books. That sounds about right: snippy and pushy all the way. What's up, Cubs-13-Bucs-6-ChiOuch -- You know me too well. You are predictably boring. I should know, since I'm twice as boring. Bergman -- Would've been a possibility with the early films, but not the post-Scenes from a Marriage stuff. That's what I figured. 1950s Sci-Fi -- I actually have a draft proposal on the topic that I was going to submit to Facets, and this class is nearly identical, so...nevermind. So you are a Sci-Fi guy then. This I didn't know. Ford at Fox -- I was momentarily tempted, but I feared that MissG would lose all respect (if any remains) for me. There's a lot of ground to cover with Ford at Fox. The silent films would probably interest me the most. Murnau! Murnau! Murnau! -- I've seen four (Nosferatu, The Last Laugh, Faust, Sunrise) of the six films, but seeing Tartuffe and City Girl and, one hopes, digging deeper into his art is too much to pass up. Tartuffe is my least favorite of the Murnau films I have seen but it's still very good. I have never seen City Girl but I've heard good things about it. Are they showing Tabu and Phantom? I love those two films. Actually, I like all of the Murnau films that I have seen. I'll post some caps from each later tonight. Hiya, SoKyle -- OK all you students. Here's someting truly serendipitous - and a little scary. I was killing some time earlier tonight with the "free" satellite service "Classic Arts Showcase" on my TV and what should appear but excerpts from a historical/biographical documentary titled "The Way To Murnau". It was made in 2002. I found it quite interesting and it might make a good primer or introduction before diving in to the films themselves. If you want to incorporate this into your curriculum (sp?), it can be found on the Kino DVD of Murnau's Tartuffe and is available through Netflix.

FrankGrimes replied to MissGoddess's topic in Films and Filmmakers
Hola, Boca Bronxie -- I never liked the word "lady". Too matronly and old-fashioned. I'm with you on that one, Woman. I like "lassie". I sense a doggie theme. I'm a lassie. A lassie is youthful, down to earth, yet still very female. I think you just want a Scotsman or an Irishman to whisk you away, Lassie. I just want to romp through the heather, then come back and sit in front of the fireplace. Hey, that's a good life for a human being, let alone a doggie. I could go for that kind of life, too. Welcome back, Shallow Slavering Tart -- That's a step up for me. I'm usually being told, "aller au diable." Yes, I could see that. You just couldn't wait to get back to this thread to tell me that, could you? Ciao, Unsweetened T -- That's a step up for me. I'm usually being told, "aller au diable." no i'll leave that special phrase to sweet April. mine is simply, "partir en vacances!" "Special phrase"? What's so special about it? I'm being completely honest! That's what I do best. Goodness! So do you think I'm going to dislike Pride and Prejudice even more than Random Harvest? Does "Liza" kill all the snobs with her bow and arrow at the ball? I hope so. you dont dislike Pride and Prejudice at all, do you frankie? of course not. heehee! Of course I do! Do you really expect me to like it? Greer Garson is in it, so there's absolutely no way I can like it. None. and excuse me, but never call her "liza". it would be okay to call her "lizzy" though, b/c mr, darcy does at the end, and so does her family. mr. collins called her "liza", yucky! and HA! thats another piece of evidence against you! heehee! Mr. Collins is my favorite, so I shall call you "Liza," Liza. now why would she kill the "snobs" at the ball? she only uses her dexterity with the bow and arrow for good, not evil! Killing snobs is for good. In my world. You should know by now that I'm always right. I'm a guy and you're a girl, and guys are always right. That's the way of things. Don't tell me Jane Austen tells you differently. guys are always what? im sorry i didnt quite catch that last word...if you say what i think you just said, you are looking for a big hi-yah and a face full of honey! Right. Jane Austen's first novel is entitled, "Guys Are Always Right." Didn't you read that one? I'm disappointed in you, T. It's an enchanting tale of a poor girl who goes to a ball in an elegant gown where she meets a rich guy who tells her he's right about everything and she agrees with him. It's a rather deep, intellectual story. -
Ford at Fox... and RKO, and MGM, and WB, and Columbia...
FrankGrimes replied to Film_Fatale's topic in Films and Filmmakers
Howdy, Fordy Guns -- I get the sense you enjoy being evil. Why must you taunt me so? What you just wrote about Madeleine Carroll now has me wanting to see The World Moves On. You also wrote some other temptress words: Ford's fascination with continuity with the past peeks out through the persistent belief held by the present day lovers, Madeleine and Franchot, that they knew one another in a previous time. However nothing less than my highest praise is reserved for the performances by madeleine and the always underrated Franchot. They give what struck me as one of the most convincing portrayals of two people very much in love. But boy is it anti-war---and anti-commercialism. It's official, I hate you. Despite my persistent hate for you, I did enjoy reading your thoughts on The World Moves On and Seas Beneath. You are the one person on this board who has provided reviews for Ford at Fox and I truly appreciate it. And have I told you that I hate you? Yes? Good. Why don't you upload some torturous screen caps?
