Aye yi yi Miss Goddess. What a picture. What a vision! Thanks.

IF you could write well??? You're one of the best writers on the board!

TRIPLE H:~ or - :-) happy now Yes sir. So :-) :-) :-) happy now. Thanx!

You've pegged it perfectly. The opening to "CONTACT" was phenomenal.

Well how deee do, Nikkymo. You pulled a thread out from the bin from five months ago and then you agree about Hedy Lamarr. Welcome aboard!!

"ALL ABOUT EVE." Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride. new word: Screwball

Aaaah yes...no doubt the dumbing down will come to pass, though I think sixty years from now "The Forty-Year Old Virgin" will be considered a classic. C'mon, you know you laughed at the waxing scene. Loved "Siskel & Ebert" in its original form. I say Fred C. Dobbs and Frank Grimes oughta give it a go.

Have we come to terms with this yet folks. 1950's "All About Eve" was perfect casting.

Check out the Elvis Mitchell talks on TCM. Listen to the introduction. All the very soft voices you hear under the music come from: "IN A LONELY PLACE." Listen, carefully...you hear the masseuse...you hear Bogie. Go on listen. I'll post this in the Gloria Grahame thread. Oh boy Laurence Fishburne was pure delight. I had no idea he was soooooooooo knowledgeable about films and could do imitations too. I always thought he was the 'ABM' (Angry Black Man) but I see he could lighten up. Wonderful!

Okay. Well...propose it to Fred, before ****** tries and goes for the job.

You get the bonus of Gabby in the shot. You're right, Clint & Roy do look alike. P.S. And so does Huston.

OMG. Oy vey. Let's go with Fred C. Dobbs. Hey, we don't even know if Fred even wants the job.

Big Bopper has to go........I choose Fred C. Dobbs.

"I think the original choice, Jeanne Crain, might have been a good one. She was a better actress than ususally credited, as Pinky had just shown. Too bad (for her career) that she was always pregnant." I think you hit the nail on the head re: Jeanne's career. Seven kids. Whew!! Love her though.

Big_Bopper has to go................I choose Elvis Mitchell.

SUSAN CABOT: "In 1964, she gave birth to her son, Timothy, who suffered from dwarfism. He bludgeoned her to death while she slept with a weight-lifting bar in the bedroom of her Encino home. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter but cited years of mental and physical abuse by her as his defense. He received a three-year suspended sentence and was placed on probation for the crime." --imdb.com

Multi-tasking is supposed to be the new 21st century work ethic.

I can't laugh too loud. I'm reading and typing this in SoHo's Apple Store (downtown Manhattan) and I should look like I want to buy something rather than obsessively checking into TCM in public. Your mixed up musings were a scream and mixing up your movie metaphors kept me on my toes following it. But say, where was Ida Lupino in all this??? ****!! :-) But you'd better take care of lzcutter's summer school class first. I can't write you a note for the teacher! ;-)

Thank you for that prescription Dr. Molo. I need me some Gloria. Desperately. I will be over in that thread in the next two days. Anybody got an aspirin?

You have won my heart mentioning one of my all-time 1940's favorites...Oh I'm not talking about the usual suspects (Power, Coop, Grant etc.). They go without saying. But since you're talking about a star not mentioned yet...I'm meaning my "Home in Indiana" cutie pie. Nooooooooo not Jeanne Crain who is also one of my all-time 1940's favorite girls-next-door but LON McALLISTER.

I'll go with Nick Clooney as well. Perhaps the gentleman who used to do the intros and outros at AMC. His name escapes me.

I'm shocked Triple H. Don't you mean: - or ~ in keeping with your This or That m.o.?

Screen Pairing in the Saddest Movie You Ever Saw featuring my Favorite Latin Performer with Gene Kelly and His Bulging Muscles?

Frank...what did you do to be tortured like this. 7,000-plus hits. WoW!
