"Duel At Diablo" "Experiment in Terror" Steiner, Tiomkin, Waxman, Korngold, Bernard Hermann, Raksin, "Laura" I could go on and on...
-
Darn it, I missed "Experiment in Terror." My favorite movie theme is Mancini's music played in the opening credits. I could cry that I missed this.
In fact, I will cry.

Boo SCSU. Don't pick on Joanie. You know I have wire hangars on hand...
-
But tried and true is so comfortable and cozy.
But I would like to see "The Rains Came" which I ordered from TCM. Let's face it...I just want to drool at Tyrone Power.

Rachelectro: "I also like that the film shows that the Civil War wasn't all about slavery - I mean, only the extremely wealthy could afford slaves, and we in the south have always been, uh, below the normal income level, so to speak. It shows that people were fighting for a way of life, not the right to have slaves, and also the aftermath of war."
Yeah...a way of life that included owning slaves. Only the rich had slaves?? Since there were more poor folks than rich, those odds don't explain why so many owned or used slaves. I won't go off on a racial tirade since this IS about the great Vivien Leigh. But some of your comments did give me pause.
That said, Vivien Leigh is incomparable as Scarlett and Blanche and in "Waterloo Bridge." She exhibited steely fragility to me, and she was gorgeous. She must have fainted when she saw her image in "GWTW." Saw a little of "Wuthering Heights" and Olivier was dashingly painfully handsome. I can see Viv's obsession with Larry.
No doubt I am giving my shout out to the great Vivien Leigh.

I third that emotion!! She was a sultry luscious brunette and can lead the dark beauties populated by Ava and Darnell. I would add Hedy but she was very patrician. I would add Gail Russell but she was very fragile.
Awww hell...Let me re-phrase that. Lamour leads the dark beauties populated by Ava and Darnell and Hedy and Gail. Ooops! Lemme throw in Gene too.
Bing & Bob must've had a ball working with her but others did too. Let's out her. Let's take her out of the vault and put her flicks on TCM. Didn't she wear a sarong like nobody's business??!
L'amour...l'amour. Toujours LAMOUR!!

CelluloidKid: "I still think someone that can put this much time and energy into hating someone... should get off there a$$ and apply for the job!! I'm still watiing to see U on TCM hosting the essentials!!!
Have U sent in your resume yet!?"
You said that in an earlier post. Saaaay, are you bucking for a job (for 10%) as WrappedinCelluloid's agent??? C'mon...'fess up! I'm looking for representation as well.

Well I'm glad extra threads are not being created, when it's just as easy to comment on this thread.
I enjoyed "J'Accuse." Very long, but very powerful and the message is still apropos. War sucks!!
(When the dead started getting up...I freaked)
J'ACCUSE!
-
Molo...I understand. It's okay; have one on me.
Wrapped...Some of the best conversations I have are with me, myself and I.
Glad you have a sense of humor, 'cuz folks on the board will call you on every little thing.

Joey: "I was referring to the old fashion visual style of the fx work- not the state of the art quality- I love this movie I think its a rich stylish version of the novel."
Yep, I agree...there was an old-timey quality in the scene where Dracula attacks VanHelsing's party that's protecting Sadie Frost.
"I have traveled...oceans...of time to..."

Francois:"It's better than my Latin."
Oh crap! THAT was Latin??

Naaaaaah, Bogie's advice was: "I schtick my neck out for nobody."
-
molo14: "Anybody got the hair of the dog that bit me last night??"
"CineMaven I found it! Thanks, I needed the nip!"
You weren't supposed to drink it. Darn it!
Lafitte: "Things that appear again and again in different guises do exist though...sometimes ad nauseam."
Aw geez. Now that WOULD be disappointing. I hate multiple personalities, as I've said.
CelluloidKid:"It seems you enjoy hate and Chaos!!!"
Naw...I think you're being unfair. I didn't get hate & chaos from the original comments that started the thread. I got humor and disgust.
Wrapped in Celluloid:"...And I am vilifying her for ultimately being a janitor in an operating room, with a scalpel during surgery, not a mop after it. And damn it, film is my church... its like having a hitler youth for a pope (OOPS we do have a hitler youth for a pope! Sorry!) . And yes, funny things like stuff magazine and billy madison are, well....funny."
Funny stuff...but you'd better stay away from the Pope. Folks get sensitive. STAT!! You're going to get vilified. This is what happens on the board. You should take Bogie's good advice:
"Go back to Bulgaria."
dianabat: "Yeah, but they can't seem to spell 'compromised' correctly."
Yeah...I know. You're right. I noticed and made a gentle change further down the thread. But I'm no human spell checker and the initial message tickled me.

Snorky hou u bein? Heven't seen u in a whyle. I thing yeur'e needed heere.

Francois: "Je ne peux pas imaginer vous mentir. Vous ?tes si doux et honn?te... et insistant."*
And by the way...ou est la biblioteque?
*"I can't imagine you lie. You are so sweet & honest & insistent."
How close is my high school French?

Noooooooooooooooooooo. Not unless they get Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder.
Oh, they already did "Blazing Saddles."
Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Just goes to show ya, Hollywood has NO imagination.I can't support it. Arrrrgh...my eyes! My eyes!

If you can't keep Rita busy (why is she even eating in bed) then let someone else have a shot! Go to your corner.

And while they're killing Germans, the wife should grab her kid and high-tail it to America. The 20's in America had bathtub gin and the Charleston. She'd have met Joan Crawford (who would've adopted her kid) and lived in Hollywood.
I laughed when the husband said to his soldier-mate "Gon and kiss."
Of course the husband has to kill himself (or get killed). He'll never trust his wife. (She had to show the birth certicate with 'father unknown.' Poor girl).
J'ACCUSE!
-
That's cheating SCSU.
-
All I know is, I ain't 'fraid of no rats!
-
YIKES!!!! Even in a log cabin, with Mohawk Indians yapping at her heels, she's still gotta give the camera the left side of her face.
-
War. It never comes out looking good, does it. Uh-oh...the jig is up. The husband's back. He kind of looks like a beefy stockier Henry Daniell, doesn't he? Ooooh, this is not looking good for anybody.
J'ACCUSE!
-
Nah, Rose McGowan needs the stubble. He needs a mohawk.
Yo Pockets...at least spell Mankiewicz's name right.
-
Yep, where'd you find it? I though Annie Liebowitz and Ansel Adams burned all their early negatives. Aargh!!
