(...ever notice those lists of "The World's Most Eligible Bachelors" still to this day only include those with large bank accounts?)
Wealth attracts women.
Physical beauty attracts men.
I know that for men, it's wiring. For women, I'm not as sure - they've had to evolve some different survival instincts, some different societal defenses. Generally speaking, throughout the world and throughout history, the "weaker sex" has gotten the dirty end of the stick most of the time.

best wishes for a Twisted Christmas!

Perhaps a couple of quotes from Mason himself may shed some light on this:
To be a successful film star, as opposed to a successful film actor, you should settle for an image and polish it forever. I somehow could never quite bring myself to do that.
and
I'm a character actor: the public never knows what it's getting by way of a Mason performance from one film to the next. I therefore represent a thoroughly insecure investment.

All I get from that link is a blank page with a Yahoo movies logo at the top. Any way you could copy and paste the list?
Have you tried refreshing the page if it's blank? Works sometimes.
Anyway, the films are:
The Day the Clown Cried (1972)
Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979)
C***sucker Blues (1972)
Song of the South (1946)
Don's Plum (2001)
Frat House (1998)
The Fantastic Four (1994) - Roger Corman Production
The Brave (1997)
Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987)
Nothing Lasts Forever (1984)
-
Allow me to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Hollywood for taking the trouble to eliminate the possibility of my seeing any of the movies on this list even by chance.
You really wouldn't watch 'The Day the Clown Cried' if it were to receive a showing on TCM??
I find that difficult to believe.
-
but hey I also reprint (quote), your garbage as well.
Ph*ck you, as*hole.
-
And then there's james. Another one who loves to reprint her garbage for everyone to read, in case they missed it.
-
Maybe she'll rat on herself for the shameful manner in which she demeans me with all that little boy/little buddy sh!t.
Whaddaya think?

I think the title of this thread is a misnomer...........
Well, excuse me all to hell.

Nope! Count me out here, dark ol' buddy!
(...'cause as I've said MANY a time around here, "Even the people you might find yourself not being a big fan of their "style" will often offer up some keen insights to some topics which you may find thought-provoking!"...in FACT, I've run into several instances of this recently with our "Little Miss Sunshine" here, and when she's able to tone down her often negatively toned rhetoric)
Well, I can't recall any time when she's said something of any real value. We learn nothing from her.
Could I at least prevail upon you to stop quoting her? You could always just type her name at the start of your responses so that she knows you're talking to her.
This would spare the rest of us the displeasure of being exposed to her garbage-talk and just plain miserableness.
-
Hmmmm...funny. I've kind'a noticed that lately.
(...again) LOL
I think every one of us should take HER advice and use the ignore feature to eliminate her from our lives. Completely.
Just her - no one else.

Well, they "censor" in the sense that there are movies they won't show. Antonioni's 'Zabriskie Point' (1970) comes to mind.
And they will show prints that have been altered by other parties.
But, they themselves don't alter the films they show. And as far as deciding what they show or don't show - well, absolutely every broadcaster does that - not sure if that qualifies as censorship. We ourselves decide what we will or won't watch so it seems we're all censors by that logic.

With all the news recently about 'The Interview' being yanked, and our much discussed thread regarding 'Song of the South' behind us, I thought this article might be of interest.

But in the sense that you mean, you don't seem Bohemian, as reflected in your comments here.
Probably because I'm lying. I've been told it takes more than a refusal to go to work to make a bohemian.
-
Yes, but he told his mother-in-law she was a blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabermouth
She didn't mean to be. She was just "born that way".

Zachariah, the 1971 George Englund surreal rock western fits this description very well. It stars Joe Walsh and the James Gang, Country Joe and the Fish and Don Johnson.
I recall being disappointed by the film though. So it may not be worth the Herculian effort to find this film.
I thought Johnson was outstanding in this. Coming just after his 'Stanley Sweetheart' movie debut, I would forever after be a fan. True, he was doing his best Brando back then, and that was probably a large influence on how much I enjoyed him on screen.
-
I was watching Hitchcock's 'Psycho' again today and just wanted to mention the brilliance of Bernard Hermann's all-string composition. The perfect accompaniment for that dark black and white masterpiece.
-
Bohemian in the philosophic, artistic, lifestyle sense, you fools - not in the geographical central European sense.
Think Bohemian as in Bohemianism, not Bohemian as in a native of Bohemia.
The only reason I mentioned it is because Dargo shared his pride in being a Centrist along with his opinions on our forum "rules". I thought I'd share something about myself as well.
Shoulda known better.

I hate to think how much energy it takes for you to draw a breath, much less sign onto the message boards...
What the hell does that mean?

As I believe PattiTexas said previously: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Maybe some think it is broke. I don't think so.
Then again, I'm a Bohemian.
-
Perhaps "corrective western" might be a more appropriate term.
"Printing the legend" is sometimes just another way of mis-educating.
-
If there is such a genre, 'Dead Man' (1995) would surely be a principal example of it.
-
It's a very unsatisfying movie to me. The first time I saw it, I actually moaned out loud at the ending. Infuriating.
That said, there are few movies of that era with more wonderful visuals than what we get from 'Mark of the Vampire'. For those, I love the movie up until its last five minutes.
-
Best moment in the movie is when the Good Witch tells the Wicked Witch "be gone, before someone drops a house on you too" and Margaret Hamilton looks to the sky in fear, shrinking down slightly.
I laugh at that every time. My favorite moment.
Are You Wearing THAT In Public???!!!

Family is one aspect of the dirty end to which I referred. If men were also blessed with pregnancy, they too would have evolved different instincts than what is common to their wiring.
That men are wired to be easily stimulated is a great aid to women in terms of survival and value - even though modern women in this part of the world may now have a tendency to bemoan that wiring in men.
