Hola, Jackie F! -- Hi Frankie! Glad to see you're behaving yourself. I didn't want to have to crack the whip. Ooooh, I love Mr. and Mrs. Smith! They are perfectly matched and should stay together FOREVER. I love Robert Montgomery- he's not too good and not too bad- just enough bad boy to be really attractive....and Lombard is perfection. I love that she can always make fun of herself. Forever? That's a long time. I love Carole Lombard in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's one of my favorite performances by an actress. Shouldn't that read, "never argue with a woman"? You are the first man I ever met to understand that........ Understanding and acknowledging are two different things. I really enjoyed the names of Jenna's crazy pies- ?I-Don?t-Want-Earl?s-Baby Pie?; ?I-Hate-My-Husband Pie?; and ?Falling-in-Love Pie?. That made me laugh. I've heard very good things about Waitress. Keri Russell looks lovely. The Wallace and Gromit pics were brilliant. Hiya, ButterscotchGreer! -- You know how to get to this guy's heart mighty fast. Thanks for the Better Off Dead pics, Monique! no frankie, jackie is a perfect sweetheart to me thank you very much! dont you say a word to her! heehee! So you say Jackie is a sweetheart and Jackie says Whistlin Gypsy is a sweetheart. There's a lot of sweethearts around here. Too bad you're not one of them, T. Thanks, darlin'! I can behave sometimes. Ummm, once in a great while. GREAT is the key word darlin;....in a great while. heehee! now if i can get you to post some valley of decision pics. heehee! I don't have The Valley of Decision on DVD or I would have posted the horrible Mary Rafferty breaking Paul Scott's heart. You didn't mention Grace! I guess it's just a given that she's your favorite actress. who's grace? oh you mean miss impassive when next to gary? oh yeah i know who youre talking about. heehee! to answer your question, orrather statement, no! She's a Quaker! That poor, sweet, little lambchop is merely a proper Quaker. You're not a floozy. You're too sweet to be a floozy. No, there's only one floozy around these parts. oh okay then in regards to the first two sentences.......youre forgiven, but to the last sentence, youre a meanie!! This thread is "loaded" with some party girls who gulp more so than sip. The Floozy is a major gulper. I did make you something, Tipsy T:

Ohh, for goodness sake. I cannot believe you actually cry in your dreams, too. For a girl who wants to drown guys in chocolate, you're such an emotional girl.

Way to go! You even resized them. I'm just stunned that your first caps were not of Coop. It's a miracle!

I'd much rather watch your dreams than a Coop film. I don't think you're old enough to watch some of my dreams. Yes, you are very correct about that. I'm most definitely a very sweet and innocent guy. I'd go as far to say I'm the sweetest and most innocent guy on this board. Wouldn't you agree? I?m telling you, I wonder about myself sometimes ? ha! Sometimes?! Sigh. Okay, most of the time. That's much better. I'd start to worry about you if you were only "sometimes." I'm not the only one having crazy dreams about him though. Just ask Theresa about her overall fetish. You've RUINED HER! This is awful news. Do you know much time and energy I have spent trying to keep Sweet T away from you and the other "A" girl? I'm gonna go have a good cry now.

Hey, ButterscotchGLORIA ( ) -- i thought she was the cutest thing in Oklahoma as Ado annie!!! i love that song she sings, "i'm just a girl, who can't say no..." heehee! its too cute!! That's the Gloria I love! thats interesting! i thought you didnt like musicals. oh excuse me, since gloria is in it, you absolutley love it. am i right? heehee! I've never seen Oklahoma! but the Gloria I love says, "I'm just a girl who can't say no." oh i think you need to see her in The Glass Wall. she is great in that one. i dont think Merton of the Movies is your kind of movie, frankie, but i dunno you might like The Greates Show on Earth. its pretty good! Thanks, girl! I'm gonna try to check them out. Gloria is an actress that I do look for when the TCM schedule is announced. The Greatest Show on Earth is airing on Thursday, March 27th at 3:00 PM (EST). But the Gloria film that I really want to see is on Friday, March 28th at 11:15 AM (EST) -- A Woman's Secret, which is directed by her talented then-husband, Nick Ray. The film also stars an actress I'm starting to fall for, Maureen O'Hara. yes i have seen both Human Desire and In a Lonely Place. i ddnt mind seeing them, but they arent my favorites of hers.i did think they were rathering interesting though. i thought she looked rather gorgeous in both though. Those are my two very favorite Gloria performances to date. Hi, Buffalo Chuck! -- Well, I think the PIX IS WORTH 1000 WORDS formula has been blown up. I don't think I've seen 5 pix that could be exponentially valued like those, FrankG. I think GG's status is perfectly captured in those. I wasn't even thinking of that when I posted those caps, but you are very right. Those caps capture Gloria's mystique perfectly. Thanks for pointing that out. By the way, has Ollie returned from his "vacation" yet? I'm thinking he's run off with your share of the loot. This is one of my very favorite film entrances of all time

I had another crazy Gary dream the other night. Me and two other girls Say what?!!! Here?s the kicker though, me and this other girl were trying to figure out what to do with the extra Gary?s. Please, I?m pretty sure I could think of something . I'd much rather watch your dreams than a Coop film. I?m telling you, I wonder about myself sometimes ? ha! Sometimes?! Sigh.

Happy Easter, Kylefornia! -- "That was quite apropos after our little conversation on this thread the other night." Whatever do you mean? You're not trying to drag me into your faux fights, are you? 'Cause I have my own foe lately and, sadly, there's nothing faux about it. Faux fights? Ohhh no, they are very real and very imagined, just as yours are. Think about it. The Our Modern Maidens poster is yet another spectacular posting by you. Very timely, for many reasons. Thanks again for this fascinating thread and for the intended and unintended humor attached to it. But did you ever expect riff-raff would frequent your establishment?

Thanks for the poster for The Devil is a Woman, Kyle! That was quite apropos after our little conversation on this thread the other night. Ironically, I've been called the same (the devil) by some around here. Viva la Dietrich!

No, I haven't seen Pandora and the Flying Dutchman. I really haven't seen many Ava films at all. Your description of the film is alluring to me.

Pas de quoi. lol, yes Frank, we all know that about you. So what movie contains your favorite "tortured romance"? You should know that -- Vertigo. Peter Ibbetson and Portrait of Jennie are my next favorites.

Wartime romance always feels heightened and more intense---because they have so little time. More "all girl." Wartime romance is more dramatic because of what you say -- the urgency of the situation and the deadly fear of losing one's love. The stakes are higher. Of course, my favorite kind of romance is tortured.

You're doing just fine! Enjoy it while it lasts. I love "Pilar" too---she's some woman, in fact, she's more like 10 women! Fierce and proud and sensible. "Fierce and proud and sensible." Ooohhh, I liked that. It's rare one can be sensible while also being fierce (and proud). They usually end up doing each other in.

Howdy, Coopsy's Clarita! -- WOW!!! It's definitely getting hot in here. Like April I love that one, but for all the wrong reasons. Or all the right reasons. See, it is possible for me to behave. The movie does drag but the scenes with Gary and Ingrid are great and also the character of Pilar is good too. It could have been just those three and it would have been really good. I just watched a "Pilar" scene and I'm already digging her. She was very philosophical in the scene, which is completely my speed. Ciao, Mrs. Jordan -- Oh, those are the BEST yet!! I already plan to use one of them for my new "wallpaper". Just stunning. I know that line applies to me, definitely! What, "just stunning"? Ohhh, the "tongue like a bull whip" line. That applies, too. I wish I knew which Coop scenes to post without spoiling the end, but like I said, I'm flyin' blind.

Those are even better! I'm sure I speak for all the ladies here that you've made up for a lot with these images, Mr Grimes. I usually have a few tricks up my sleeve. P.S. I actually think of Coop's two Hemingway pictures, you would like A Farewell to Arms better, because of Borzage's beautiful compositions. Kim and Angie have both told me that they believe I'd like A Farewell to Arms. I did tape it off TCM, so I have access to it. I think the following lines apply to quite a few ladies on this board, particularly on this thread:

Now there's no way I could take shots at Coop and not produce some sugar. That wouldn't be right. Well blow me down, you bought For Whom the Bell Tolls? I am surprised. I even passed on a Grace Kelly film. Have you watched it yet? I just got it today! But, then again, I could have got it six months ago and my answer would be the same. I love that movie---for all the wrong reasons. I mean I love the performances of all the actors, but it's just Robert Jordan I adore, he's one of my favorite screen characters. I just wish the movie were better, or "tighter". It doesn't have much pace so be warned. Thanks for the warning, girl. The film could be an interesting challenge for me. The scenes between Coop and Ingrid are very warm---and apparently real. The two scenes I have seen are very cute. THANK YOU for the caps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally I have some color images of this movie! You're welcome. If I watch the film, I could then post images that matter. As it stands right now, I'm flying blind.

Hi, Jackie F! -- Why thank you sir. Flattery will get you everywhere..... Until I mess something else up. Here's my favorite picture of Grace....hope you like it! I do like it! I like seeing "angry" Grace. Good Evening, Miss Demanding! -- Hmmmm....I see your timing is still creative. It's now "7-ish". I actually may have a suprise for you tomorrow. My local Borders says a DVD is in-stock, and if it's there, I'll probably buy it and post a cap or two from it. It all depends on how accurate the on-line inventory dealy is at Borders. It's usually pretty accurate. -- Me on your "Noir Gallery" thread yesterday. A couple of examples of why I turn into a pretty sick puppy whenever I watch For Whom the Bell Tolls .... (I wish I had color pictures) -- Miss Impatient

You mean that I haven't smudged out Grace and replaced with my pictures? Hmmmm....just one left like that: How could you EVER be a Grace? Ohhh wait, you're pretty darn icy. I take it back. A deal is a deal. I'll post some kindness later on. No, I'm not talking goopy hours, either. The 6-ish range.

Oh here we go now with the not-so-gentle hints. So WHY must I be kind? And how so? There's no way I could be cruel without having some "kind" in stock. Is this your way of asking for more pictures of shirtless Gary? I can be very kind that way. That doesn't sound too kind to me. I guess I'll just wait here 'till you are ready to 'splain yourself. Awwwwwww. Now that's kind. Do you have any other "High Noon" Grace pic to post? If you do, I'll be kind.

Please, PLEASE do!!!! Ohh, so you would actually trust me? Big mistake. By the way, I suggest you be very kind to me right now.

I believe you when you say you don't know about manly virtue. I hate it when I leave the door open like that. Wait a minute! What world is full of Gary Coopers? I want to go THERE! Keep it up and I'll send you there.

Clearly, you're the only one who has a problem with it . By the way, I just posted some of Coop's pics in the "cross-dressing" thread. Y'all should check them out. Manny Ramirez and Hack Wilson, eh?

Manly virtue? Huh? I don't know about that. I've seen too many "dolled up" Coop photos. Strongly charismatic? When?

Hi, ButterscotchGreer -- Did Jackie let you in despite your age? I'll have to talk to her about that. wow! frankiefurter! thank you so much for those picnic pics! i came across the impression that you thought Random Harvest was so-so. Random Harvest is so-so and Gone with the Wind is horrid. well i love the Random Harvest picnic scene anywho. you are such a darlin'! Thanks, darlin'! I can behave sometimes. Ummm, once in a great while. it isnt every day that i get pics from both of my fav actors having a picnic. now if only greer and gary had a picnic together in a movie, i would be in sheer heaven. banana oil! heehee! ...and then i have that handsome mr. peck over there, but he belongs with mary rafferty, not with ingrid bergman. You didn't mention Grace! I guess it's just a given that she's your favorite actress. a floozy? oh now we're floozies....spoken like a true Grumpy. heehee! You're not a floozy. You're too sweet to be a floozy. No, there's only one floozy around these parts. Hola, Whistling Gypsy -- Excellent photos. They were, how you say, succulent? So why is it that Jackie F considers you a "sweetheart"? Hiya, Jackie F -- Way to get your thread off the ground! I really enjoy reading your comments. You're quite fascinating. I really liked the Stranger than Fiction cap. That bakery is well-worth visiting. who refuses to be seduced by the sweet confections, which you KNOW would help him warm up and ease his rigid soul.... There are some people on this board who could use some of those sweet confections. Hey! Don't you dare look my way! Bonjour, Miss Champoo -- As for the really, truly meanest man around, FrankGrimes, From you, that's a glowing review. By the way, I was once told by a gypsy that "love before breakfast" was good for digestion. Have you ever noticed how Scarlett winces when she drinks the Brandy in the earlier scenes, but by the time of the night scene at the Atlanta mansion she's learned to swing one back with more ease? lol According to the book, by then she was steadily drinking every night, "on the quiet," as Rhett observed. So did you start this way or were you always a "loud" drinker, Holly GoLoudly? Never argue with a woman holding a knife. Shouldn't that read, "never argue with a woman"? Infamous last words. Did a man ever have more heck to pay for just two little words? Men have paid greater prices for not saying a word at all. I also find Maureen O'Sullavan's brother, "Gilbert," hysterically creepy with his weird fascination with psychology and murder (sounds like Frank). So is that a good "hysterically" or a bad "hysterically"? I'm sure you meant "sweet" instead of "creepy" and "charming" instead of "weird." By the way, may I interest you in a sandwich and milk?

Okay, now you've aroused my curiosity...who? You don't remember your Irish buddy? You two constantly fooled around in the middle night. And I know Johanna misses you. Thank you for the "sweet dreams." That was sweet of you. Que duermas bien.
