Forget that. She's way old now.

People that rank? Presumably after spin class?

I think Sonny Bono was the first one I saw wearing one.

No, but I used to fantasize about Tanya Tucker. I said it often..... I love Tanya Tucker I really want to meet her

The name's Tucker, not Sucker.

Shamed.

I have 4 vcr's - and I use them all. Although 1 is just used for rewinding. The other 3 are used for recording and/or watching (I watch almost nothing "live" other than news) But I archive no movies on tape. All movies are recorded to dvd-r's in variable bit recording mode (one movie per disc).

One thing is evident. She had something very, very special. From these bits she would go on to become the world's most famous movie star and fantasy object. Nobody else had what she had. Others tried to copy, but none of them could match her. They couldn't even come close.

Not to mention that he's now mute, unlike previously; in a near-catatonic fugue state (apparently only gets up off his back to do whatever chore Ygor gives him); and wears a woolly vest that came from who knows where (and that just as mysteriously disappears when he gets up again in 'Ghost')

Yes, disallowing "oral" as a word was pretty ridic - almost as bad as when "mouth" was disallowed. Can you imagine the mindset of whoever programmed that filter! Spaced out, man.

It's probably that the o word is considered different from saying "sex party" in that both "sex" and "party" are in and of themselves innocuous. Every child knows what a party is. And sex is just another term for boy and girl. But the o word for a certain type of party derives from another o word which has a certain meaning vis-a-vis "gasms". And those are what makes your o-party word seem so prohibitive to whoever set up the filter. Certain aspects of humanness (or animal-ness) should not be mentioned (in the opinion of some people). For example, there's a type of whale we're not allowed to mention. And, if one wishes to mention a certain biological substance one must spell it out completely with "atozoa" included at the end of the word.

Several live in every city, Fred. And in the "country" too. Nutjobs. They're everywhere and anywhere.

As interesting as the sets are in this one, it's my least favorite of the Universal "Frankenstein" movies.

A child might stumble onto your post and then seeing the evil o word ask his mommy what that is. Do you want that on your conscience? Well, do you? Administration is clearly doing the work of the angels here and the word filter was developed by the finest minds the Church of Latter Day Saints could provide. So, accept it for its inherent goodness and stop complaining about it. Don't you wanna go to Heaven? Sheesh.

A vcr, ay Nip. Nipkow leaps into the 80's! Do stores still sell blank tapes?

A totally unjustified X rating. Here in Ontario the Good it was rated R without cuts. If one doesn't relent and do the one-second cuts here and there to satisfy the power-addicted MPAA censors who make such demands just to justify their own positions, one gets an X (now an NC-17) as punishment for one's defiance.

JFK was unfaithful to Jackie?? What a cad. No wonder he got shot in the head.

How any red-blooded American man can not be a fan of Marilyn's baffles me.

If there's any list more useless to everyone than one that's about how many times a movie has been shown in the past, I can't imagine it. Maybe if we ever have personal time machines that allow us to go back and take advantage of a past showing such a list will have some value then. Otherwise it's a complete waste of time and energy. Now, this thread - this thread has value. It alerts us to what's coming up and new for us as TCM viewers.

The one I'd like to see the most is 'Suspiria' (1977). She was in that, wasn't she?

Reminds me of an anecdote I heard of a black actor who suggested to the producers of 'Happy Days' that maybe he could have a role on the show and said he was told "there were no black people in the 50's". It got a big laugh from the audience (I forget what talk show it was on, as well as who the actor was - but remember the anecdote very well).

Absolutely. And the directors would love that. But, few have the financial resources to produce movies themselves, so they need studio financing. And the studios will not let them make something that can't be played in theaters. Very few theaters will book NC-17 rated movies - it's all about selling popcorn, you see. I miss the late 60's - early 70's so much.

I have 3 of Laura's 4 Columbia albums on re-mastered cd's. The one I'm missing at the moment is 'Christmas and the Beads of Sweat'. I'll have to make a point to get it soon. Did you know she was a performer at Monterey? Listening to her always makes me feel sad, though. Retiring in 1971 took her out of the game at a time when her enormous success as a songwriter had developed for her a real following.

I see that at IMDb. Giving an X rating to non-sex movies was a form of punishment back then. Nudity alone could aggravate the censors enough for that - not to mention ideas that they were not fond of being talked about (Midnight Cowboy, Myra Breckinridge). So, yes there were a few non-hardcore movies that got an X initially from those society-protecting weasels. I just assumed it was R-rated as it ran here in Canada with an R rating completely uncut. There was no brouhahah about it at all.
