Hiya Kyle: "Bolstering your critique of Rose McGowan with "Stuff Magazine" rankings and Billy Madison quotes is absurdly silly. That is what you intended, right?"
I thought it was a fun read. And look, anyone who can quote Billy Madison and Kirkegaard, has got to be on the ball with sumthin' sumthin, don'cha think??
Dear Lafitte: "Sometimes situations like this, but only if true of course, resemble posts of ghosts past. I remember seeing a movie similar to this very thing. The director was Alfred Hitchcock or Martin Scorcese, or was it Brian De Palma. Anyway, it will come to me..."
Get back to me with your answer...was it "Vertigo" or perhaps "Obsession"???? All I know is I ain't 'fraid of no ghosts!
Say, Cutter: "I'll go burn myself now and safe Rent the trouble."
Don't go Joan of Arc on us despite the witchhunt on this thread. Doesn't McGowan remind you a little of the great BARBARA STEELE? Go on...tell the truth.

Aaaah, Bateman. I loved Karloff's smoking jacket in "The Raven." It's my absolute favorite piece of wardrobe since Dorothy Malone's plaid shirt in "Written on the Wind" and Kate's pants & jacket in "Woman of the Year."
Great movie "The Raven." Wasn't this a cool line:
"I like to torture!!"

I heard that Lupe scratched up Coop's back but good.
Oh wait...was the Weissmuller??

And again I ask you...is there anything you DON'T know, Fred?? C'mon, you've been on the quiz shows haven't you?

"C'MON BIG BOY PUT EM AROUND ME!"
Somehow I think I'd rather be trapped by Shearer than West.
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" OR "There's a word for you ladies. But it isn't used outside a kennel."

AARrghhh!!! You get me everytime! ;-) Now go way and sit on another bench before I hit you with my purse.
POW!!

I am profoundly sorry I missed the screening of this movie. I have vague memories of a commercial for it on "The Late Show" in my youth. It always looked so grown up to me.
I've never been a Fredric March or Melvyn Douglas OR Ralph Bellamy fan until those actors reached their 50's, 60's. Yes I could see the weight & gravity & maturity in them in "Hud" or "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit." Now, if only Ralph had played opposite Garbo like the other two did...
I want to catch anything Novak. I'm sorry I missed it. Let that be a lesson to you kiddies. Check the TCM Schedule.

Welcome Aboard Robboy: "The most beautiful woman in the history of motion pictures was Rita Hayworth!"
Now the gloves come off. Annagram in another thread said that the most beautiful woman in movies was Elizabeth Taylor. I hold out for (the only and obvious choice:) Hedy Lamarr. Others think the sun rises and falls with Greer Garson. We have a contest going on where we're picking our three favorite most beautiful actresses. That's a very dangerous and flammable first sentence you got there. You just got here. You want to start a war?!!!!!!!!
But no doubt...you're right. What a spectacular opening that was when asked "Gilda, are you decent?" Whew! What a sight. And if I'm not mistaken, Fred was too chivalrous to given an answer, but I'm sure Astaire thought Hayworth danced head & shoulders above his other incomparable partners. That red hair cascading and spinning around her shoulders is enough to...to...hey, where am I?
Yes...there was a heartbreaking sadness to her in her later years. Thanxxx to her (and her daughter) the illness of Alzheimer's was brought to the forefront.
Rita Hayworth. Saying her name makes me smile.
(Psst! When you read this post, read it with tongue firmly in cheek for part of it). Welcome!

Konway: "And the use of Parallels in the plot. For Example, Mrs. Paradine lowers herself for Andre Latour (Louis Jourdan). And Keane (Peck) lowers himself for Mrs. Paradine."
How low...can you go...?

You said it Moira. Ya see, actors today don't know know what they're missing.

If you throw Nietsche in here...I'm heading for the hills. I already have my thesaurus out.
...Celluloid, would you feel better if Kate Winslett served hosting duties? Is it the age or the fact that Ms. McGowan's film career doesn't have the cachet of a Natalie Portman or Julie Stiles. Face it my new poster, we'll have to live with Rose McGowan.
And she doesn't bother me that much. After all, I can just wait until the movie starts.
I can't quote Kirkegaard, but as Kukla, Fran & Ollie say...
-
Lafitte...if you are correct, I'll be certainly saddened. I hate the multiple personality syndrome on this message board. I got so many people on IGNORE as it is. Say it ain't so, Wrapped in Rent. Say it ain't so!!! :-(
Sorry Celluloid: "After Rose McGowan discussed 'Out of the Past' which stars Robert Mitchum & why she loved the film, I watched it that night and was blown away! She was right, the film was very different! Thanks to Rose for recommending a film which I went out and bought and added to my classic film library.
As erudite as your postings have been on our beloved Message Board, I'm having a tough time believing it was Ms. McGowan that talked you into getting this classic. Others have sung its praises here...surely on the noir thread. That's a stretch. Am I to suspend my disbelief. Is the world flat as well? Watson! The needle!!
"If you think you can do a better job then why not submit a video or something to TCM and see if you can the job!"
Oh nooooooooo, not ANOTHER contest! SH222T! Don'cha remember what happened LAST time? Niagara Falls...slowly I turn. Step by step...inch by inch...and I 2498573. Right now I'm tuning into the Essentials if there is a film I want to see, not to hear her specifically. (But she has good taste if she liked "Out of the Past." Jane Greer. Whoo hoo!) It could be worse. Paris & Lindsey aren't busy.
Hello SCSU:"I am appalled. I expected better from you. Everyone knows the correct expression is 'ape sh2t'."
Maybe on the west coast. But here in the Northeast, we put a 1 in our sh3t. If I'm wrong, I hang my f234king head in shame. :-(

Nah, if they did THAT people would really go ape sh1t. Leave out the skimpy outfit.
Nothing against poor Ms. McGowan. I just think the consensus is people would rather see a more seasoned person sit across from Mr. Osborne like Hillary or Laura, perhaps?
Now where'd I put that stage blood???
Oh yeah...and btw, I just saw "Baby Mama" yesterday (Tina Fey, Amy Poehler) and I was a tad miffed at how they scoffed at Sigourney Weaver's character still being fertile enough to have a baby. They acted like she was ancient. She was too old to have kids, but I felt they were being ageist and I thought Weaver looked damned good in the movie.
Off-topic, but just wanted to get the ageism thing in here.
Anybody got the hair of the dog that bit me last night??
-
I don't think any fickled finger of fate could sock it to me hard enough to watch this movie again.
Here comes de judge!
-
Moira, can you imagine one of today's seventeen or nineteen year old actresses playing either of those two roles in "Casablanca"?? I shudder at the thought.
-
Fantastic job Lafitte!! Thank you. I see a coffee table book in that thar topic. Good job.
-
Great subject title, Fred.

WHEW!!! I've never read a more scathing literate and cogent indictment of a personality associated with TCM in my (almost) one year on this board.
All trolls, curmudgeons, spell-checkers, mis-spellers, hackers and haters take note. When you put someone down...THIS is the way you do it.
I was never a fan of the idea of Rose McGowan serving as co-host with Mr. Osborne on The Essentials. (Too young, too modern, too associated with not classy works, grating voice...were among my dumb ol' reasons).
I just grinned and bore it. It takes a big person to admit their mistake and change it. Just goes to show ya that there are very few 'big' people out there in TV-land. Could it be that Ms. McGowan slept with someone to get this gig? Or that she is really in fact just as much a movie buff as the rest of us??
I dunno. But I enjoyed reading your opinion. Hmmm...you're going to be an interesting addition to the dialogue on this board Wrapped in Celluloid.
"In the name of all deitys(sic) wrathful and compassionate..."
Whoa!! Powerful stuff, dude. Please write nothing bad about Hedy Lamarr, Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Gary Cooper or Gloria Grahame. I hate it when I blow a blood vessel. :-)
-
Awww guys...don't feel gypped. We had a twenty-film salute to Hedy Lamarr. We got to hear her walk and talk. We got to gaze at her beauty unabashedly without her turning around and saying "may I help you?" or "what are you lookin' at, buster!"
We didn't see enough of her legs. True...but that face. That face!
-
SCSU...Dammmmmmit! You did it again.
Thank you! (I was a Rheingold kid myself!)

I grew up in NYC not Minnesota...but here, we had once a month on Saturday The Schaeffer Award Theatre. Movies shown with just four commercial interruptions. That's how I saw "The Hanging Tree" with my dad. (Schaeffer was a beer company at the time).
-
Well Jake...I only LOVE Gloria Grahame. But if you want our resident expert on Double G., then that'd be our FrankGrimes. Type Gloria's name in "search" and you'll see Frankie's all over her. It's a good read too.
You have a good weekend as well, and check out my Private Message (PM) to you. It might save you wasting your breath and time and keystrokes on nincompoops. ;-)

Very accomplished, IMHO. Still getting through it. Whew! That poor girl's being put through the ringer.
And, a glimpse of _______ was looked on as something shocking.
