Not at all.

I suppose so. I've never needed to compete for love. When there's been a connection - she's attracted to me, I'm attracted to her - things just kinda go the way they're supposed to go. Stuff is said, dances are danced, relationships happen.

Oh, I think Mr. Eastwood's fans might have something to say about that.

I thought it was where all those waitresses live.

Sure, I'll chime in. I remember seeing that title on the schedule once. I believe it was probably on one of those Friday nights when it was chosen by one of the special Friday Night hosts. I can't swear for sure it was on a Friday, but I believe it was. Or maybe it was Oscar month. I guess I remember it because it was so unusual to see such a recent movie on the schedule. I love it when movies made after the 60's happen on TCM.

Sure, it would be great fun to watch the dodderer try to have an intelligent conversation.

Compete? I've never competed for a woman in my life.

I liked the way he let it out a little in 'Little Fauss and Big Halsey'. He played a selfish, conniving, womanizing, ne'er-do-well user. And he NEVER looked better or buffer. I loved that movie - saw it about 6 times. The critics hated it.

I guess I took the question the wrong way. I thought we were supposed to suggest people who were still alive.

I don't find her voice or speech patterns annoying. I find them endearing.

That movie was not a dramatization of mental illness. There was nothing wrong with Farmer. She was simply abused for having her own unpopular opinions and being critical of power - be it social, political or Hollywoodian.

Theaters are in need of an infra red device or something that disables all cell-phone activity electronically within the area of an auditorium. It would force people to leave the auditorium in order to send or receive calls. Let 'em talk in the lobby if they must. If it can be imagined, it can be done.

Robert Vaughn.

'Downhill Racer' is coming up next week and it seems like forever I've been waiting. It's different. Quiet but intense. I haven't seen it since its run at the theater I ushered back in 69. Loved that movie and thought I'd never see it again - thought it had pretty much become one of those lost at the bottom of the pile movies (like Little Fauss and Big Halsey) that tv will never show again. Yay for TCM!

Only for the superficially-minded.

Yeah, that's right. Us boomers are always youngish. 50-70 is the new youngish.

I do. Best star of the month in years. If only they'd gotten 'Situation Hopeless But Not Serious', 'The Hot Rock', 'Little Fauss and Big Halsey', and 'Tell Them Willie Boy is Here' into the mix, I'd be almost perfectly happy.

Nothing "supposedly" about Marlon and Wally. That was real.

Absolutely my favorite Mancini theme. Plays in my mind relatively often. Love when the violins come in and reach up.

I can't count all the movies that have been made less enjoyable for me if I've read the book first. I'm talking pretty much every single time. After decades of this phenomenon I've concluded that: Reading the book first is ALWAYS detrimental to the enjoyment of the movie; seeing the movie first does NOT necessarily ruin the reading of the book. Of course, if one finds the movie to be not that enjoyable - as in boring - one MAY be discouraged from reading the book at all. Still, I have learned the hard way that many, many movies that people have raved about have left me disappointed because of the spoilers I've carried into the viewing. I missed out on a lot of the excitement that way.

Funny what kinds of things stick in our minds, isn't it?

Possibly the most pointless thread ever created. But, it'll never go away as long as Topper and Nipkow are here. Every time we're almost free of it, one of them goes bumpity, bump, bump.

Same parent company? Same advertising company? I don't remember the Kelly LeBrock commercial - but then again, I barely remember her at all.

I think it was Rita Rudner. Here's an article that makes reference to that 'don't hate me because I'm beautiful' line. I'm really surprised you don't remember this - it's the very first thing that comes to my mind at the mention of her name. Of course, I've been a tv addict most of my life and consequently saw that damned commercial about a thousand times. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-293311--.html

It was definitely Deneuve. Forget who the comedienne was, but I remember her doing an imitation of Deneuve saying - in accent - "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" and following it with a deadpan "that's not why we hate you".
