"... as wispy as a dandelion frond floating on the wind." Jacks, your treatise on "BONJOUR TRISTESSE" is one of the best things you have ever written on this Message Board. When I look at the board from my computer, it looks like swiss cheese. Everytime, and I mean almost every single time I am ready to give up on this Message Board, I come back b'cuz of the writing. Delicate, heartfelt, smart and poetic is what I got from your post. To quote our girl..."Brilliant." Honestly. And then to read this morning's "conversation" between you and Miss Goddess ("hi, Miss G.") adds to my appreciation of the movie, adds to getting an insight on how you both see things. You both don't go the easy route: "thumbs up! thumbs down!" You give me revelatory glimpses into how you see things as a person. You've made me feel your thoughts. Hmmm...feel your thoughts. How can that be? So I'll go through all the flotsam and jetsom of the Message Board...of real and imaginary members...of untested and wonky web designs...of complaints and flames and discords and one-upmanships and hall monitoring. I'll go through hell...b'cuz I know that when I beat through the bushes and the swamp, on the other side is a post of good cheer, clever humor, camaraderie and writing that makes me feel. Thank you.

Oooooh, how delish, Jackaaaaaaaaaay... Aaaah yes. They say "three's a crowd." Well...maybe in real life. But in reel life, it sure makes things interesting. Aww heck...in real life too.

WRITTEN ON THE WIND Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack. Now, about a foursome for bridge, I pick...

Bon soir mesdames! :-) Bronxie, both you and Miss Goddess made really excellent and succinct observations about "Bonjour Tristesse." Very nice. I'm ambivalent about the character of Anne. Half of me is relieved when she's finally gone, the other half grieves. Then at the same time I get a sort of lump in my throat, and reflect: but at what price is this freedom? Anne was a deluded, emotionally fragile control freak, yet I can't help feeling a great loss... - << (( Bronxgirl )) >> Yes, Kerr was a bit of a stick-in-the-mud. But Niven and Seberg were definitely morally worse for the wear with what they both did to Kerr. Her character was like Shelley Winters' in "A PLACE IN THE SUN." We feel sorry for her, all pregnant and everything...but we want her out of Liz's and Monty's way. It's like Hitchcock?s "PSYCHO." OMG, Marion's killed by Norman's mother and now he is getting rid of Marion's body. Poor Marion. Uh-oh, the car stopped sinking. I hope Norman doesn?t get caught. What a conundrum directors put us in. Oh heck who am I kidding, I'd sleep on the floor of the kitchen if I could only live there for a week! - << (( Jack Favell )) >> HA! Who am I kidding? After eating Albertine and Leontine's cooking, I won't fit in the bed. I want Cecile's little black Parisian dress. - << (( Miss Goddess )) >> And I want David Niven. He's a playboy, and rich and dashing. And he's not into 'Commitment.' So, knowing all of this going in...I think I'd: * have a great fling with him * stay in a lovely villa * not be perceived to be a threat by his possessive daughter, and escape with my life, and my memories. I'll e-mail you guys the pix. Go in with your eyes wide open girls, I say.

That is MRS. CM'APM, to you...please.

YO!!! Whaddya sayin' Gundersen?? I can't hear ya from all the snow. Ooooh, I see below me that you're Torchy now. See, now you're cookin'. CineM'Ava Powell Mitchum.

You betcha! I'm Dick Powell, Marge.

Well I'm Mitchum. I make many women cry. Now let me go correct my typos. I'm Mitchum. I correct my mistakes.

Maven, I'm thinking about it, and I think you would be somewhere between Dick Powell and Mitchum - both have a great sense of humor, but Mitchum has deep wells of something underlying it.... maybe something dangerous. I'm not sure, but there is something he doesn't want you to know... He makes me nervous. I think you have the same thing, You are funny, but I would not want to get on your bad side. Powell has a snippy side, and I don't see you that way - you are more rounded - when you say something I feel that it has more import - it's not just for laughs. There is a lot of smarts in him, and he can't quite keep it from coming out of his mouth. Yeah, you are just like Mitchum. - << ( Jack Favell ) >> MITCHUM??? (Are you drinking so early in the afternoon??) I am flattered beyond belief. Mitchum is the epitome of...well, I'm flattered. I know that I am definitely more forthcoming than Mitchum... but I'm feeling more Powell-ish becuz of his humor in "MURDER, MY SWEET." My sense of humor has gotten me into and out of many a scrapes. Didja see the way Powell dealt with Moose? ("I want you should find a girl"). Only humor could help even the odds with a big galoot like that. Mitchum is incredibly sexy. But I share this trait with him: he means what he says and he says what he means. Mitchum, huh? I'm beaming inside. Thanx! Cool! I haven't thought of who would play me... I'd like to say Dick Powell, but I fear I am more of a Frances McDormand from Fargo - I do love Arby's. Maybe a little of Edna Mae Oliver's suspicious nature. - << ( Jack Favell ) >> Frances McDormand's Marge was such a tenacious little fighter. She solved the hell out of that case in a determined and disarming way...even with almost-bouts of morning sickness. Let's see Bogey's Spade or Marlowe do that! I resisted "FARGO" for years. But then when I saw it (and "THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION") I was literally blown out of my skull. I'm callin' you Marge, Jackaaaaaaaay. Ha.. color me.. Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple.. or maybe Dame May.. as Miss Froy. (alas) - << ( Rohanaka ) >> WoW! Ro...go on with your baaad self. I hope you wear cooler outfits than these two, but there's no challenge to their powers of deduction and detection and no-nonsense. You're it. And your first case "The Case of the Missing Message Board Threads." ( Now about that roof... ) I loved CinemAva's choice of Dick Powell and your selection of Marge Gunderson. I think Frank Drebin will play me. - << ( Frank Grimes ) >> Ha! Grimesy me boy...Drebin? Okay, I hear ya. He was a jokester, confused and ofttimes a$$backwards, but he did get his man! Aaaaaaand Priscilla too, I might add. I had to look up who Frank Drebin was! D'uh! I think you are very Dana Andrews in "Laura." - << ( Jack Favell ) >> C?mon Marge!!! Get your head outta Minnesota. You?ve GOT to know who Drebin is. But I think you've totally hit the mark with likening Frank Grimes to Dana in "LAURA." A tough guy, with a soft heart and longing...ever longing for his dream girl. Playing it cool, thinking that he doesn't deserve her...but yet still wanting her. (Priscilla and Gene Tierney, Grimesy? How lucky can one guy be? Now ain't that a kick in the head). You hide behind being a Drebin, when you're really a McPherson. I guess the closest I'd get to be is "Nora Charles", wanting my husband to entertain me by solving crimes and getting my lights punched out in the process. - << ( Miss Goddess ) >> Hi there Miss G. Look at you...sending Nicky out there in harm's way. But look what he comes home to...you, with a martini glass waiting by the door. (I hope he remembers to bring you his paycheck to pay for that high rise condo you two share!) But check it out G, Nora was out there on the town and on the case too giving Nicky good advice and being part of the excitement. Just remember, when the bad guys start swinging...DUCK!! Thanks. I'm not a poet like Jimmy but I have written songs and we both played(ed) piano. I will allow myself that I sing better than he did. - < ( Movieman1957 ) >> Ah-ha '57. I take it you shall be the Singing Detective, ey? Loving classic films has taken me out of my humdrum experience and put me in the place of movie stars of different genders and racial make-ups other than myself. What good is fantasy if I can't explore it in all different ways. In my mind's eye, I can swashbuckle like Errol Flynn...and mesmerize like Rita Hayworth. I'm as much as a buffoon as Rags Ragland and can devastate like Ava. I'm as vivacious as Betty Grable or as saturnine as Judith Anderson. Loving classic films, I can imagine being all things and still honor my ancestors James Edwards, (my favorite) Theresa Harris, Maidie Norman, Hattie MacDaniel, Fredi Washington, Paul Robeson, Roy Glenn, Dorothy Dandridge, Clarence Muse, Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, (and my other favorite) Kim Hamilton.....et al.

Hey guys, The pages are still there! I notified the WebAdmin about this problem (it's also in Movie Rambles and Kyle's Poster Gallery) last week. Thank you Lynn.

"That's so interesting. Let me go all Barbara Walters on you.... If you had to have someone portray you as a detective in a classic film, who would it be?" - << (( JackFavell )) >> If this isn't just a question for MovieMan specifically, may I answer it? Even though I'm a girl? If I had to choose a detective to play me...I'd go with Dick Powell. He wasn't super tough and super cool. He got beat up and had a sense of humor about things. That sounds closest to me than all the hard-boiled private eyes that were out there.

MovieMan...I went all the way back to page 67. The date of that post is October 10, 2010 but I can't see anything past that. This board sucks.

Thanxx for the tidbit Jacks.

Hi there Ro...Hey Miss G.... Howdy Jackaaaaaaaaaay... Thanx so much for the compliment. It means a lot to me coming from bonafide women of the west. I'd hate to be the varmint perpetrating a fraud on this thread. I was really impressed with the Duke's and Monty's performance. Say MM'57... I wound up scratching my head in disbelief when I heard Dunson's offer to Dru's character. Whoaaaaa, pretty broad thinking. What an unseemly proposition from him, especially knowing she loved Matt and that Matt most likely cared for her. Dunson still had the mindset of TAKING something from Matt. Whew!!! Does anyone know how Ford felt about Hawks invading his Western territory? Hawks did an outstanding job...especially if he engaged this noirista.

Okay. Ohhhhhhhhkay....what are you groaning about?

"You were wrong Mr. Dunson." The past coupla nites I?ve been up late editing my webseries. Two nites ago I had Richard Gere keeping me company with "Internal Affairs" and "Primal Fear" on tv. Last night I had two lethal ladies doing their thing with "Body Heat" and "Black Widow." Now today I took an epic cattle drive while having the ENCORE channel on. Sure, you all know "RED RIVER" like you know the back of your hands. Me? I haven't seen it since college, so a lot of it seems brand new to me though, of course, I've seen different scenes many times over the past years. I just had it on to keep me company and pretend like I was watching it. This doggone movie took me plum away from my editing. Dang! "I'm the law. You're a thief." John Wayne. The Past. Boy oh boy, I'm not even trying to tell you western afficionadoes anything about what you guys already know about him in this film. He's Tom Dunson, and he?s mean. He?s the law. He?s inconsolable. He?s rigid and intractable. His grief is overwhelming. He?s carried it for all these years. Colleen Gray had her arms around him, begged him to take her with him. But he didn?t. He finds her bracelet on an Indian he?s just killed. Jesus. His path is set. Montgomery Clift is Matt. He's the Future. He's so rugged here. I believe him. He can handle a gun. He can ride a horse. And he sure can kiss the girl. He looks good in his buckskin. And he's got strength. Strength to finish the cattle drive. He knows what's Right. I love his "sparring" with John Ireland. Yeah, love the subtext. Love them sizing each other up...and mutually winning each other's respect. So many lesson on this cattle drive I'm taking. The journey to get all these head of cattle to Abilene is frought with adventure. There?s a stampede...my gosh, the cattle was like a tsunami crossing the plains; and anything in its path, well... Poor Carey Jr. gets trampled. The wheat is separated from the chaff. Dunson wants to mete out justice by whipping the man who started the stampede. May I confess I kinda like John Wayne when he?s mean, unreasonable. He's very...uhmm, commanding in his unfairness. Yeah, I'm a twisted sister. And then there's his walk. Geezzzz...even cattle move out of his way. < Sigh! > "What a man!" as Olive Oyl might say. "I don't like quitters." Three men want to bail out. Dunson won?t let ?em. They made a bargain. But they renege. And they runaway; they'll regret doing that. Dunson tells some of his men to bring ?em back. They do. Their punishment is a hanging. WHAT??? Whew! He's so unyielding, so unforgiving. But Matt won?t let him go that psychopathically far. H'?s driven. He reminds me of Queeg. He pushes and drives his men. "It's their job!" Ohhhkay. "Everytime you turn around expect to see me." Who wants that albatross hangin' around your neck? The cattlemen face Indians too. They go on the defensive to get over that hurdle too. Yeah there's a hoopin' and a-hollerin'. But the biggest obstacle to face on this loooooong cattle drive...Joanne Dru. Whew! The girl was baaaaaaad! She was pitching in shooting the rifle. But then Matt told her to just load the gun. Already the woman is put in her place. But didja see how she took that arrow in the shoulder? She barely blinked. WoW! I know it?s a man?s world, but I gotta hang my hat on something. We see the battle of the sexes between her and Matt (Monty). She?s probably molded into a Bacall of the West. This is Hawks' film right? Yeah, she?s channeling Bacall with her repartee. I thought she did a pretty good job. She kind of has a soft voice like Dorothy McGuire and could keep up with the bitter Dunson when he comes through. Dunson's soooo angry. Angry more at himself for letting his own girl go. Angry b'cuz Matt took his herd....his Leadership...his manhood. Would you say Matt represents the new regime? The new taking over from the old. The thread running through the second half of the movie is Dunson as the spectre of Vengeance. Dunson?s so darned ornery for ornery sake. He has no reason to even be upset. But he is. He's made it to Abilene. And he's looking for Matt. And Matt goes to face him. The "son" must face his father and prove his manhood. What a journey. For me too.

< Spit Take! >

Ha. Good one, and you're so right. (What a straight line just laying there for the Maven. Resist. Resist). Well then I'd better just stick to finalizing my list for Rey's thread. And yes, I am a sentimental baby. My next list will reflect that.

Haha. My Tarzan or my list, Miss G.?

True, Jake. Sadly, so few men are like Tarzan. < Sigh! > Miss G., I like your list a lot!

Hi MM'57. I'm sorry to read you didn't like "PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET" more than you did. I really enjoy it. Tough, tight....straight line like a laser beam. Jean Peters is worth the price of admission, for me. "I like Ritter and Widmark but I always thought Jean Peters miscast. I found her character too broad and "gum smacking". Like an actress deliberately pretending to be 'cheap'." - << (( Miss Goddess )) >> MissG., I hear what you're saying about Jean's gum-smacking pretense at being a tough girl...a moll...a dame (not a dam). But I bought it. I believed her. She was sooo different in "NIAGARA" from "PICKUP..." and then so different in "A BLUEPRINT FOR MURDER" than in "AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL." She has a lot of sensuality in this movie, and she's a tough cookie too. She has bite. Or maybe her character was not as tough as she thought she was. Could her character have been play-acting t survive??? There was a love story wrapped up in this tough little anti-Commie potboiler. Jean did take a beating though. But you know how that goes...all in the service of the movie's hero changing his ways. Ouch! Women in noir ofttimes takes the brunt of the hero's change of heart. "I actually really love Jean Peters in this movie - she is what made me like the movie, the person I can hang my emotions on. I thought she was excellent." - << (( JACK FAVELL )) >> Hey Jaxxxon. Jean Peters worked for me as well. Nice screen cap Grimesy. Kind of illustrates my point. Jean's pretty little face is all banged up, and the hero gives her the kiss. Edited by: CineMaven on Mar 15, 2011 6:29 PM - Felt I should properly quote people.

Now the hard part to come. I need to go back and select my top ten favorite films from 1930 up to 1959. A much harder list to prepare. - <<< ( Fxreyman ) >>> Dude, you ARE a masochist. ;-) Whew!!!! Good luck goin' in!

>"Hey, Maaaaaaaaven! You're right about Powell as Nick Charles. I'd also exclude Vincent Price > as Nicholas van Ryn in DRAGONWYCK. These two are definitely 'upper-class' Nicks, ha!" - << (( Bronxgirl )) >> I hear ya Bronxie. Maybe if they both wore their hair in ringlets, then...

Hey laaaaaaaaaaaaaady!!! You wouldn't count Nick Charles in that bunch of Nicks, wouldja? Nah, Nicky's pretty WASP-y in "The Thin Man" series, I guess.

?I came up with a list that produced what I thought could be considered ten best films for each year made after 1960.? - <<< (( Fxreyman )) >>> 2-24-2011 @ 10:27AM Hey there Jackaaaaaaaaaay, Hiya Foxy Rey. I did have a nice time at my favorite Friday night watering hole, thanx. I perused your LISTS thread Rey to make sure I wasn't duplicating anything before I made my next list. In the process of doing that I came upon a list you did here: (http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=157528&start=135&tstart=0) And you certainly have listed some of the greatest films of the decades. I had no quarrel with any of the ten films you put on that list. (Whew! Exhaustive!) What I did was look at your list and picked (I-M-H-O) the best of the best for each year you listed. There are some very Klassy and Important films on your list. But I picked films I absolutely found accessible and enjoyable; films that I could watch over and over again. If I really wanted to be masochistic...I would pick the best of the best film for each decade...but why would I want to be so masochistic? After creating this list...I think I need to go back to the watering hole. Again...my list is based on your list: CINEMAVEN'S LIST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST(...IMHO) OF FXREY'S LIST ( 1960 ) Psycho * ( 1961 ) The Children's Hour ( 1962 ) The Manchurian Candidate (which I can't wait to see Robert Osborne & Angela Lansbury introduce here in NYC next month) ( 1963 ) The Haunting ( 1964 ) Fail Safe ( 1965 ) Repulsion ( 1966 ) Born Free ( 1967 ) The Graduate ( 1968 ) The Odd Couple ( 1969 ) Easy Rider ( 1970 ) Five Easy Pieces ( 1971 ) Carnal Knowledge/The Last Picture Show ( 1972 ) The Poseidon Adventure ( 1973 ) American Grafitti ( 1974 ) Blazing Saddles ( 1975 ) Jaws * ( 1976 ) Network ( 1977 ) Annie Hall ( 1978 ) Unmarried Woman ( 1979 ) Being There ( 1980 ) The Empire Strikes Back * ( 1981 ) Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1982 ) Tootsie ( 1983 ) The Right Stuff ( 1984 ) The Terminator / Blood Simple ( 1985 ) Silverado ( 1986 ) Top Gun ( 1987 ) House of Games ( 1988 ) The Accused ( 1989 ) Field of Dreams ( 1990 ) Dances With Wolves ( 1991 ) Silence of the Lambs * ( 1992 ) A Few Good Men ( 1993 ) Schindler's List ( 1994 ) Pulp Fiction / The Shawshank Redemption ( 1995 ) The Brothers McMullen ( 1996 ) Fargo ( 1997 ) Contact ( 1998 ) There's Something About Mary ( 1999 ) The Limey ( 2000 ) Gladiator * ( 2001 ) Monster's Ball ( 2002 ) The Hours ( 2003 ) Mystic River ( 2004 ) Million Dollar Baby ( 2005 ) Batman Begins ( 2006 ) Pan?s Labyrinth ( 2007 ) No Country for Old Men ( 2008 ) The Reader ( 2009 ) Inglorious Basterds ( 2010 ) Winter's Bone Awwwww, what the hell. The films that are in bold * are films I?ve picked as my best of the best's best. What a challenge!!! You know what...this ?List? thing is fun. It?s very subjective and there is no wrong answer.
