If you're nice maybe winsome Miss G, Buttercutie, Whistlinsweetheart and I will give you a treat.....
T-R-A-P
"Buttercutie"? Those days are long gone. "Whistlinsweetheart"? Hmmmm. That's interesting.
Frank - I'm warning you: I said NO food fights....
I promised you I'd behave. Now where did you put my apron?
-
Hi, ButterscotchGRACE -- but im not brainwashed. im the same ol' theresa. but if you really think im that bad....now im pouting! heehee!
You're pretty darn bad. I need to find some pepper spray.
oh yes you would frankie. heehee! you fell for Gone with the Wind and Random Harvest didnt you? come on admit it, frankie, you like them. you cried to them...you even borrowed me skirt to dry your eyes. remember?
One of those films is so-so and the other is horrid. Why must you gals insist on liking trashy films?
what? greer never did such a thing! she would never make a slasher film. she was too ladylike and too much fun to do that sort of thing
It's too bad, because she could have become something if she did make slasher films.
did you watch Valley of Decision frankie? you are torchering me here!...or are you meaning to do that? i would believe that if thats what you are trying to do. heehee!
Of course I did. The film taught me a couple lessons -- 1) Get angry and kill those you disagree with. That's important. 2) Move as far away from the person you love the most because it's best to let them marry someone else and then break up that marriage in the end. With those kind of lessons, it's no wonder you listen to the advice of bad girls.
-
And to make things worse you didn't even bring anything...no wine, nothing for the hostess! And you're not even wearing a necktie! And to a formal occasion!
Parties ain't my scene. I'm a lonely drinker.
-
meanie mint?
who's the meanie? oh! i dont drink spiked tea....only spiked with cream thank you. heehee!
Shouldn't you be watching a Greer Garson slasher film or something?
-
Champoo Floorzies are WELCOME in Tombstone or any city in the globe! Just ask any of the men!
Ask them? They told me. They specifically mentioned a certain one.
That rail has FRANKGRIMES name on it because he promised to entertain and he didn't SHOW UP. Sound familiar?
Owwwwwwwwww! Miss Kitty's sharpened her claws!
-
I distinctly gave the bouncers orders to keep the velvet rope up around your neck...
Once they let you in, they had to let everyone else in.
Who let you in?
-
I'd already be on my second course...
What, your second salad? All right, I'll behave -- for now.
At least you posted a Gene pic. I'm sure a flood of Gary Cooper drinking is next up.
-
Hey, ChiOblique -- But wait a minute -- MissG did mention Mankiewicz, albeit obliquely. She mentioned No Way Out, but credited it to Herr Otto. Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe (sorry for my oblique reference to St. Paddy's Day).
Great catch!
I loved your list, mann. That's pretty much a given, though. I've got my directors ready to roll, but I'm bringing DPs to the party, too.
Hi, Miss Floozy for Hire (
) -- Ohhh, wait a minute, that doesn't sound right. Hmmm. Hi, Vera!Is Mankie a "noir" director? I don't think of him that way. He's too drawing room civilized!
Your "too civilized" Mankie did make a few films noir: No Way Out, Somewhere in the Night, and House of Strangers. Of the three, I'd consider Somewhere in the Night the most "noirish." It's a fave of mine.
-
Hi, Jackie F -- Frank - you may push her too far. I'd watch out if I were you.....
Yes, the words "careful now" always register with me.
I do have some ways of making up for my foolishness. But, of course, that will only lead to more "careful nows." It's neverending with me.Hey, Whistling Gypsy -- Ah, please don?t stop the silliness on my account. I might have trouble following the train of thought, but I can see that you are all having a lot of fun.
Thanks. It's good to play once in awhile, but I don't want to bury your words. You've quickly become one of my favorite board members. You are very intelligent with a wonderful eye.
-
Champoo Floozy?
-
Hi, Rachel -- Welcome to the board!
Isn't that the best kiss in the movies ever? Even though she slapped him we know she liked it!
Scarlett is impossible to tame. If a man like Rhett couldn't do it, no guy could. Although, I will say that Rhett is the kind of guy Scarlett would constantly fight with because he WANTS to tame her. I'm sure guys like Frank Kennedy would just let Scarlett walk all over them. Rhett won't go for that.
-
Careful now.
I'll back off. I don't want Whistling Gypsy's posts to be lost in a sea of silly.
-
No Mankiewicz, eh? Actually, his films noir aren't the heaviest of hitters, but I still like them.
By the way, you receive the fullest of marks for taking on the challenge of listing your favorite noir directors. You especially receive credit for listing Lang. Every once in a great while, you do exhibit wonderful taste.
-
I will start a food thread if you guys will chime in, but there will be no food fights, Frank.
Ohh, I promise. I'll bring the cream pies.
If you start the thread, Jackie F, I'll behave. But if Champoo Floozy or Meanie Mint start the thread, I'm gonna have to be careful. Those two serve spiked tea and poison cakes.
-
I would suggest the thread be somewhat exclusive, in other words, no one allowed who picks on poor defenseless females, lipstick wearing cowboys and sons of Irish immigrants.
Shouldn't that read, "poor defenseless, lipstick-wearing cowgirls"? Isn't The "Cowboy" and the Lady like the first Brokeback Mountain? Or is it Vera Cruz? I thought Coop was lovely as "Vera."
-
just slap the "s" on you for stalker.
I'm not the one who is looking to kill people in chocolate today. How many times must I tell you about the bad influences around here? One girl is full of evil spells, one is very indecorous, and now I see you've been spending way too much time with a girl who likes violence. You are being brainwashed.
You would never see me fall for such foolish traps. I continue to watch my film noir and bloody horror films, never straying from that path.
-
You ladies should start a thread on eating/food in classic movies. If you throw in drinking I'll join you.
No truer words have been said on this site in I don't know how long.
-
That's the look of a guilty woman if I have ever seen one. You can slap a scarlet "K" on her for killer.
-
Ohh, duck out for an hour -- they won't miss you.
Whoever thought of showing The Set-Up during the afternoon needs a punch or two.
-
Yes, Frank, I've seen all too much of Linda in that picture before.
I may get to see not even enough all-too-muchness of Robert Ryan tomorrow night, if I decide to go see THE SET UP at a screening. It will be my first RR big-screen "experience". And shirtless, no less!
You must go! Go! It's only an hour film for goodness sake. GO!

Hey, Ken -- If I need to wish anyone on this board a Happy St. Patrick's Day, it's you (and
Moira). Happy St. Pats!
So are you a saint?
Richard Widmark Dana Andrew belong on my list also.
Burt Lancaster is who I took off my actors list at the last moment. Burt BELONGS in a noir top ten, though. I love that you picked Laird Cregar and ranked him that high. I know you're a big fan of I Wake Up Screaming. That's one of my favorite Fox noirs. I still have to watch Vicki.
The Woman in the Window
Hangover Square
I've never posted the following cap on the board. Right, Missy G?
-
There's a problem with this link but okay, I get the message, no more Danny! Te each his own!
That clip was a little funnier, but Danny Kaye doesn't look to be my speed at all. I guess I need to see guys smacking each other in the head.
-
If that's Danny Kaye in a nutshell, I'm with Ken, "small doses."
-
Thanks, and those pics are great. Thanks for posting them.
You're welcome.

Hi, Meanie Mint! -- You're pretty darn bad. I need to find some pepper spray.
well now i know you read my pm. heehee!
I also deleted it.
please dont get that out, "i washed me face and hands before i come i did","im a good girl i am!"
You're still peppery, Mary Rafferty. It's a real sad day when guys have to use pepper spray to keep desperate gals like you away from them.
you arent telling me Random Harvest is horrid are you? not MY Random Harvest! heehee!
It's so-so.
trashy films? who likes trashy films? it isnt me or april....you are the one who likes scary movies, not us.
Who's April? I don't know this girl. I hate to say it, but you are the person on this board who likes the trashiest films.
didnt you at least think they were a cute couple?
Mary Rafferty is a home-wrecker! That poor little boy is going to lose one of his parents because of her. How awful! Why did she have to kill Paul's heart by putting an ocean between them? That's terrible! Paul just wanted to know Mary loved him and she turned her icy shoulders on him. She was cruel to Paul and his heart.
but i was told that you pick on the ones you love,
That's crazy talk! I pick on you all the time and I dislike you with a passion.
