this is true, he is an english-hater! I love Hitch and Alma! Maddy Carroll is a doll! Cary Grant is my second favorite actor. I'm definitely not an English hater. I merely dislike the priss and proper. he hates my elizabeth bennett AND mr, darcy! how could even honey boy hate them? they are some of the best characters ever......they dont evne seem like characters to me! like scarlett and rhett, they are so real! and frankie has to go hating them. i have tears coming! Real characters are Max Cady and Norman Bates. Don't you just love them? i think he just needs a little more love and discipline! Your brand of love and discipline is me going to a British ball with a bunch of snobs. So Pride and Prejudice is not a dreamland story for girly-girls? It lacks priss? And did you say Gloria Grahame plays "Elizabeth Bennet"? (GASPS)!!!!!!! (runs to my bedroom and throws myself onto my bed in tears!) heehee! Do you always giggle when you cry? Is this what Jane Austen taught you gals to do? Y'all messed up.

You're alive! I thought the Goddess poisoned you and then ran off with Smithy. You need to be careful around her. we are related for crying out loud! heehee! frankie just doesnt understand this. tsk. tsk. How are you related? Are you trashy twins?

God, I have been good to you lately, haven't I? And tomorrow will be no exception. I think I'll have to make some changes about that toward the end of the month. Can't have ya happy all the time. You have been far too kind and generous to me, Kyle. You need to snap out of your funk. I become all the more boring when I'm happy. It's best to stick it to me. By the way, I have not forgotten about your post or Lynn's post on the "torture" thread. I'll get to them later on tonight.

Hi Shasta! -- Hi FrankGrimes - I apologize for "Sabotage"-ing your question as we have not been properly introduced but I noticed no one answered your question of what movie the cartoon was from so I wanted to speak up. It is one of my favorite Hitchcock movies! My question was really meant to be an open one, so you are not "'Sabotage'-ing" a thing. And even if you were, it would be nothing new to me. Dangerous Di constantly looks to do me harm. She'll say different, but don't you believe her for one second. You are correct, the short "Who Killed CockRobin" is from Hitchcock's Sabotage. I also like Sabotage. The "delivery" scene is one of my favorite Hitch scenes. The other Disney short that I posted is "Playful Pluto" and it's from Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels.

That's hitting below the belt!!!!!!!! Is that so, Ann?

I've always had a crush on Lindsey Buckingham. He looks like Colin Firth to me. (sigh) Stevie Nicks works for me. If Thackeray and Austen are too wimpy for your noir sensibilities, then I weep for your manhood. Here's a hanky.

Shhhh.....Don't tell Miss Butterscotch! I'll be forever lost from her good graces. Are you kidding me? She needs to know the truth. She needs to know just how bad of an influence you truly are. But I fear Smithy has strangled Sweet T. She has suddenly disappeared. You and Smithy were the last to have been with her. I can't imagine you doing something horr... wait a minute. What have you done with sweet and innocent Butterscotch?

Yes, if you count Carol Burnett's send up. And I loved it! You actually do have a pretty good sense of humor... for a snippy blonde. But then, I'm not a big fan of musicals. Maybe there's still hope for you after all.

Thank you, Mr Grimes. Compliments are always welcome. I'll be sure not to make the same mistake twice.

It's now a musical on the West End: I'm sure that would be a very different Gone with the Wind experience. Have you ever seen a different incarnation of Gone with the Wind. Something tells me you would be extra critical of such an event.

I have low expectations for the film since it's not my kinda of flick, but you have helped increase my want to see it because of Gloria. Mine were pretty low too but I really enjoyed it. I think I was in just the right mood for this kind of film. It's very light stuff. I'm definitely interested in seeing Gloria in roles I'm not used to seeing her play. That's where my interest lies. It hit the spot after a rough day. Gloria will always hit the spot. Gloria is a knockout in this. That's what I wanna hear. Actually, it's what I want to see.

Hiya, Kylefornia -- Your poster selections continue to impress me. The Night of the Hunter and Touch of Evil make for a formidable one-two punch. I loved the Hedy poster, too. Hey, Minya -- I love me some Night Of The Hunter It's refreshing to see such wonderful taste around here. (is it wrong to covet Robert Mitchum even when he's totally and completely evil?) No, please do. Help yourself.

You have no heart to break. I've been told. I've also been told to "go to the devil" many a time, too. And you're holding my past against me. That's impossible. There's too much of it for one man to hold. Jackie just very astutely pointed out who it was who landed the role of Scarlett and you had said she was your favorite girl character in movies. I adore Scarlett. I just wish you did too, Becky Sharp. Maybe another lovely Southern belle will come along one of these days to fill your vacant high heels. I admit I'm not mean enough to banter words with the likes of you. You may admit to such a thing, but I do not accept such admittance. Your meanness is unmatched. This conversation's gone far enough. I'm going to the only man who understands me. Ashley doesn't want you either, Becky. You better go poison Sedley at some pomp ball. I'm sure he'll be glad to see all of your faces. You are just mean and trying to be tricky. I would never do such a thing. I'm a traditional gentleman. A traditional gentleman whose respect for you has increased thanks to you actually having the courage to admit you like "Vanity Fair" more than "Gone with the Wind."

Oh stop being so dramatic! I learned from the best. I wonder what happened to MR OPEN MIND? You always brag, brag brag how open minded you are and criticize me for not being that way so I venture to say I like a book that's English and you go all to pieces. You are very narrow minded I must say. Tsk tsk. I've broadened my horizons and you are just a Yankee reactionary underneath in sheep's clothing. So are you saying I'm being just as deceitful as you when I claim that I am very open-minded? Do you really want to step into that minefield? How is it that your liking of trashy Jane Austen novels means you have expanded your horizons? You've always liked them. That's not news. It's also not the reason why my heart breaks so. I lost all my faith in you when I learned "Gone with the Wind" was not #2 for you. You certainly did rub it in, Becky Sharp (you are no longer Scarlett). You rubbed the break right into my heart. I always thought it was impossible to remove the sweet, little Southern belle from the Goddess, but I was wrong. Painfully wrong.

You took advantage of me, with your twisty lawerly big city ways. I didn't put any deceitful words in your mouth. I did not wish to have my heart broken. If I'm guilty of anything, it's that I was damn foolish to believe you were a sweet Gone with the Windy Southern belle. Sweet T had been trying and trying to convince me of this despite my severe reluctance. Finally, I gave in. I figured Sweet T couldn't be wrong. She just couldn't be. Well, I cannot blame Sweet T for falling under your spell. It is I who needs to accept responsbility for being so naive, so foolish. I put the "Gone with the Wind" noose around my own neck, only to see a "Vanity Fair" "woman" hang me. I deserve my fate. I deserve my darkness. I had only good intentions in starting this thread and sharing the wonderful news that many Americans, including me, adore this book. Not that I like rubbing it in....BUT I DO!!! -- Miss Good Intentions My intentions of believing in you were just as good. A harsh lesson has been learned.

Life is but an empty bubble. I have been betrayed by someone who sanctimoniously claimed to be a TRADITIONAL GENTLEMAN but who is in fact a very modernly disrespecter of innocent females. Please! I would never disrespect an innocent female. It's the guilty ones I disrespect. Especially the ones who have deceived me. The ones who have taken advantage of my loving trust. Don't try to apologize or make up, you can never atone for it. I don't know why I should be surprised, you've behaved very badly before. Apologize? To use the word of a former classy lady, "Ha!" The scar on the side of your head is from you losing your mind. Sadly, I now know there is no scar on your chest. You have no heart to scar. You never did.

I tried to lessen the pain for her by speaking of her favorite Smithy in such loving terms "Jack the Ripper" I said it in such loving terms. I love the costumes in "Becky Sharp" Ahhh, intelligent women.

Whippersnapper, this may be before your time: Yes, that song came out before I started to listen to music, but I do like Fleetwood Mac and that song. I have a Fleetwood Mac greatest cd. Sweet T may know my favorite of theirs. It's one of my very favorite songs from the 80s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcqrQg0lFwQ&feature=related Becky Sharp/Vanity Fair?! Blech! And this is what women consider to be "intelligent"? Everything is starting to become quite clear to me now. And did you see how that trailer starts off? Such masculinity. Gone with the Wind actually looks less like a chick flick compared to that abomination. I've got to get to a "political meeting" in the Tuscan sun mighty fast now.

FG should listen to you. I used to listen to women but now that I've been burned by the former Miss Scarlett, I've turned reluctant. There was one thing I thought I could count on in this world and that was the Goddess placing "Gone with the Wind" on a pedestal. Now that I have learned the truth about her being nothing but a phony, I'm a shaken man. I don't know what to believe anymore. Everything has turned dark. There is no tomorrow.

Rhett seems to be taking the news of your intelligent dishonesty very well. He's learning the very hard way what we hysterical, Dutch yankees already know about disloyal Southern belles.
