Princesses wear long gloves, too, that doesn't make them femmes fatales. I think you see femmes fatales everywhere you look. You've got them on the brain.
But Sweet T is a femme fatale princess whose long black gloves are dripping in blood.
She drowns guys with her eyes.
No, in chocolate.
That's after she drowns them in her eyes.
I watched it! I just happened to watch it while holding the FF button down throughout. I've heard that's the best way to watch films
It's the best way to watch bloody movies, not bloody good movies.
It's also a wonderful way to watch trashy pomp and priss. I mean, look at this snobbery...

What threads!!?
Well if you don't know, I'm not going to say. They are easy to find; just look for them.
She did no such thing. You probably scared her. Your the one who's going to be drowned.
How could I scare her? She's a femme fatale with long black gloves on. She drowns guys with her eyes.
You shouldn't say one word about P&P until you've watched it anyway. Your always preaching about being fair...is it fair to criticize a movie you haven't watched?

I find that rather ironic since Kim truly is a tramp. I still cannot believe she can get away with juggling two guys like she does. What a hussy!
That reminds me, you still owe me for last night, Scott...
Oops, my bad. Here's a dime. I know how much you like the 30s, so I thought I'd pay accordingly. You're a fantastic... reader. Thanks for the story. -
Ha haaa!! That's NOT the screencap you KNOW it. However...it is an inspired idea!
Inspired ideas are few and far between with you. As you can tell by all the numerous threads I have started on this board, I'm a very inspirational fella. I hope you are taking notes.
And yes, the second side-effect IS watching pride and prejudice...perching a cup and saucer of tea on your knee and holding a dainty crumpet.
I better put on my manly Gary Cooper lipstick and mascara before I settle in.
Tea Time! Where is our little hostess cupcake?
She drowned herself. The guilt of being mean to me finally took its toll on her shrimpy body. She couldn't bear telling me how sorry she was for treating me with such disrespect like a British snob at a ball in a Jane Austen novel.

I had to say it twice. It was worth repeating.
Now you're repeating yourself! It's one of the first side-effects of my latest potion...
Is the second side-effect not watching Pride and Prejudice?
That's good, because I'm not a phony
Too bad I don't have the North by Northwest dvd or I'd post a screencap from the auction. It has the perfect retort.
Retort? There's nothing to retort. You should be in full agreement. I'm not a phony.
Here's the screencap you wanted...

That's better. I've decided I like phonies.
That's good, because I'm not a phony. All of my contempt for you is very realized, Snipperdoodle.

OK, Frankengrimes...why is it that whenever you write something nice it sounds phony?
Oh, I don't know, O' Sweet and Lovely Goddess. I guess you're gonna have to decide for yourself when and if I'm ever being nice.

Plodding, uninvolving and visually boring study of a totally uninteresting guy. Considering the fact that Day-Lewis was in every frame for 2 and 1/2 hours, it follows that is was not my cup of tea. Day Lewis played the role in a static, never-changing mood...constantly in a near panic, never plumbing for some small element of humanity that would bring this guy to life.
I respectfully disagree. I thought There Will Be Blood was visually strong. I believe the look of the film to be one of its greatest assets, especially the scenes involving the derricks. I also respectfully disagree with your assessment of Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis). SPOILER. Plainview's personality changes once his long-lost "brother" enters his life. He shows a want for family and he slowly starts to lose his edge. When he figures out the truth about his "brother," he becomes violently angry for allowing himself to be fooled. As a result, he becomes all the more bitter, hateful, and power-starved. "I'm finished." And so he was.
As for the film overall, I thought it to be good not great. I much prefer No Country for Old Men to There Will Be Blood and I like P.T. Anderson's Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love more. The aspects I like most about There Will Be Blood are Daniel Day-Lewis' enthralling performance, the direction, the cinematography, the sound design, and the score. What I don't like about the film is the last act, particularly the ending. I felt it was forced and very heavy-handed. It was too spoonfed for my tastes.
I'm still utterly amazed by Daniel Day-Lewis' performance. To hear Day-Lewis speak naturally before or after seeing There Will Be Blood is rather jarring. For him to stay in-character with a character like "Daniel Plainview" for a 3-hour film is truly remarkable; sheer brilliance.

Ciao, BullheadedGREER -- You are bullheaded and you possess awful taste but you are not snippy, pushy, or wrongheaded, Miss Mutt.
thats it, i cant hold it in any longer.....im puppy dog pouting!
I'll have to add pushy to your list.
But why would you wish any harm to me? All I do is lavish you with lovely sentiments.
did you just black out, or did you actually pay attention to the first thing you said above this sentence?
I said you were bullheaded and that you possess awful taste. Those are lovely sentiments when it comes to you.
okay, april, frankenstein is ready and he doesnt suspect a thing......1....
Put your pretend doll down and get back to your room.
Ciao, Miss Goddess -- Please be sure to tell us what you think of your new Pappy treats. I'm always interested in hearing your honest opinions.

partir en vacances!
That's a step up for me. I'm usually being told, "aller au diable."
Well then open your puppy dog eyes, Puppy Dog Eyes.
they are open, unfortunately. heehee!
Then take your hands away from your puppy dog eyes.
Nuh-uh! I'm being very honest. I have only found four caps for Pride and Prejudice on the Net. I'll have to see if I can find any more.
you liar you! you know you have seen it, just admit it silly goose or youre gonna sink!
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.Zodiac is a lover's lane film! It's highly romantic.
it who's world?!
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.
Have you ever heard of this song, Former Sweet T...
yes i have former sweet frankie!
I've been singing that one today. What have you been singing? And don't you say Celine Dion.

I'm truly in awe of your film tastes, ChiO. You have definitely opened up some doors for me.
The DVD is on Kino International. No commentary, but the special feature is a long, very insightful essay by Ginsberg.
I value well-done featurettes just as much as commentaries.
The push-pull that you noted was autobiographical, but I imagine it is nearly universal.
Don't tell me there are others.
There are two early episodes that are very emotionally painful, but moving, with a woman who has cigarette burns on her chest from a man she dated. She begs Joe to "do whatever you want to do to me." He says he'll "do whatever you want." She won't tell him what to do because that ruins the experience for her; he is clueless as to what to do because her desire makes him disinterested. Neither can satisfy the other on any level.
That sounds exactly like Blue Velvet. What I like the very most about Blue Velvet is the "relationship" between Kyle McLachlan and Isabella Rossellini. I'm the kind of guy who wants to protect women, so I basically fell for Isabella's character right away and Kyle's character acted similarly to how I'd react in the situation.
The emotional and physical luridness is Fuller, but the look, subject and tone are '60s NYC independent filmmaking at its best (or, for some, its worst). Think Garfein (SOMETHING WILD), Clarke (THE CONNECTION), and Cassavetes.
A Fuller-Cassavetes hybrid? No wonder you like this film.
I hope you like it. I think you will.
I love psychological films, so I'm sure I'll find it to be enthralling. I also appreciate creative filmmaking.

Bonjour, Theresa non sucr?es!
Vous ?tes en difficult?, parce que vous avez g?r?s en moi.
They wear sweet and innocent masks around you, but they are far from that. I'll do my best to save you despite your resistance.
ill believe that when i see it
Well then open your puppy dog eyes, Puppy Dog Eyes.
I have not seen Pride and Prejudice and I shall never.
your nose is growing AND your pants are smoking!
Nuh-uh! I'm being very honest. I have only found four caps for Pride and Prejudice on the Net. I'll have to see if I can find any more.
No, I'm not talking about Smithy's rampage in Random Harvest. I wouldn't watch such trash.
not that om actually believeing smithy would ever do such a thing, but you wouldnt watch smithy's rampage, but you WILL watch Zodiac? oh brother!
Zodiac is a lover's lane film! It's highly romantic.
Have you ever heard of this song, Former Sweet T...

Wow! Coming Apart sounds absolutely fascinating. I'm not only impressed with what you describe but how you describe it, ChiO. Excellent stuff. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I have now added the film to my DVD wish list.
Pathetically, there is something you wrote that really hits home with me.
Those women who want him cause him to pull away; those who spurn him results in him wanting them.
I know those feelings all too well.

Ahhhh, art de la performance.

Howdy, Coop's Indecorous Dame -- In that particular story, Kim is the shoplifter. My character would never do anything so criminal. Instead, she?s just a tramp.
I find that rather ironic since Kim truly is a tramp. I still cannot believe she can get away with juggling two guys like she does. What a hussy!
Of course, that's better than what I had planned originally
. Oh, yes, I have heard of these kind of girls before. Floozies, right? Floozy... floozy... hmmmmm. Now just where have I heard of such a girl before? Hmmmm.Ciao, ButtersweetGENE -- Thanks for sneaking in a Gene Tierney pic, Sweet T.

actually im german, french, and english, among other things. heehee! so there! im not bullheaded or wrongheaded! am i demanding? i am not!
You are bullheaded and you possess awful taste but you are not snippy, pushy, or wrongheaded, Miss Mutt.
Uh-huh. I see that you remain under the spell of a Finishing School girl. You need saving. I'd love to save you, but you have killed me more times than one can count.
thats because you havent died yet. you have always escaped somehow.banana oil! heehee!
But why would you wish any harm to me? All I do is lavish you with lovely sentiments.

Gute Nachmittag, Vermisse Snippy -- Why thank you very kindly, T---isn't she adorable? She's like a (finishing) schoolgirl giving her first public recitation.
Public? That doesn't sound like a Finishing School girl to me.
Good day, Unsweetened T -- im not spoiled by the "snippy and indecorous" girls you claim that they are....they are sweet and innocent! and you know it!
They wear sweet and innocent masks around you, but they are far from that. I'll do my best to save you despite your resistance.
you know you saw it, and you know you like it. you know it is a genius of a film and you know GWTW is too. you are just afraid that people will think you are effeminate, when you really arent.
I have not seen Pride and Prejudice and I shall never.
what reputation is that? watching bloody movies that scare people to death and make them jump so high that you have to scrape them off the ceiling? how appalling and ghastly!
No, I'm not talking about Smithy's rampage in Random Harvest. I wouldn't watch such trash.
-
No truer words have been spoken on this board.
you couldnt be more wrong, darlin'
Uh-huh. I see that you remain under the spell of a Finishing School girl. You need saving. I'd love to save you, but you have killed me more times than one can count.
der Abschiedsku?.....ha!
German?! The only kind of girl that's snippier than a German girl is a Texan. And Lord help anyone who runs into a German Texan girl. There is nothing worse. They are snippy, pushy, demanding, bullheaded, and wrongheaded... on their good days.
-
oh no, where did you get the idea that i give you a guilt complex...its you who give ME the guilt complex!
You should feel guilty. All I do is tell you how sweet you are, and what do I get from you? Drownings. I guess the chocolate is the sweetness, not you. I was hoping and wishing you would not be spoiled by snippy and indecorous girls, but the damage has been done.
im trying to be sweet, but you wont let me! heehee! dont hide, please.....puppy dog eyes alert!
Stop that! You know that's my kryptonite.
see, i told you she gets mr, darcy back.
I haven't watched the film nor do I plan to. I must uphold my sterling reputation, don't you know?
-
This may seem blasphemous but the original performance of what most people regard as a western classic is actually very dated with the exception of Grace Kelly's performance.
Brilliant! It's good to know someone knows what they are talking about.
Now I must leave to seek a deceitful kiss from a shopliftin' hussy or three.

I thought your order to be very apropos, T...
April in Paris
A Scandal in Paris
No truer words have been spoken on this board.
I'd love to be your tour guide in Paris one day!
Don't do it, Sweet T! You would be ruined forever! Run away!
Au revoir!
-
no more mr, nice guy, frankie! get out the boiling chocolate april!!
It's a given that your pretend doll is going to be cruel to me, but I thought you, of all people, would be kind and sweet. I'm deeply hurt. I'm going to run off and hide. I won't come out until later on, if ever.
It's also a wonderful way to watch trashy pomp and priss. I mean, look at this snobbery...
