Yeah, maybe we could get him to deduce that statement first.

About stuff like trivia, citing dates, facts, personnel, etc. of bands ( be they rock, pop, soul, jazz, or whatever), yes, I'd say so.
Have you seen the movie Diner? (I hope so, it's a great film.) Do you remember the scene where the wife of the record-collector guy had put one of his records in the wrong section , and he yelled at her about it? The poor young woman (touchingly played by Ellen Barkin), taken aback by the intensity of her husband's outrage, quietly told him, "I just want to listen to the music. That's all. "
I think that scene says a lot about the difference between (most) men and women when it comes to that whole issue.
Alphabetical order (by artist) was always good enough for me. Still is.
That guy's system was too complicated.
Ahh, the good old days when chicks had to put up with all that insufferable sh!t because men made the biggest paychecks.

Yep, and hear that kind'a thing REALLY "took off" out there in your province of British Columbia!!!
(...well, from all reports I receive from up there north of the 49th, anyway!)
Haven't been to the left coast since '77, so I have no idea what the parlance was there when "yepper" was all over Toronto in the 80's.

so most show-offs are guys?
Yes -most show offs are guys, most flaunts are chicks.
-
In other words laffite...it's one of those "Canadian things"!
(...you know, kind'a like adding those superfluous letter "u"s they do to some words, but in THIS case adding the needless letters "p", "e" and "r" AND sometimes "s" to the word "Yep"!!!)
It started while I was stoned and just took off, ay.
-
What does "yeppers" mean? Is that the plural? ... is that a (real) word? Do we have a trailblazing word coiner in our midst?
It was an answer I received to a post where more than one point was discussed. So plural?
Just asking.
"yepper" means "yes".
It was used extensively in Canadian pothead circles back in the 80's. Pluralizing it means nothing - just a way of stretching it out (ie/ yepper-zzz).
Once in a blue moon, I'll still use it around someone who "gets" it.

HEY now, dark ol' boy! Don't be talkin' smack about my man Coop here, dude!!!
Oh sure, so the guy SEEMED dumb enough to care about all those freakin' cowards in Hadleyville to stay and risk his life for 'em and rid the West of those low-lifes once and for all, but I'VE always preferred to think he was SMART enough to do that JUST 'cause he figured those low-lifes would track him down eventually ANYWAY!
(...and so in closing, while Coop MAY have uttered "yup" INSTEAD of "yep" all those years, he was WAY smarter than you apparently THINK!!!)
Cowboy days.
Nobody with 3 digits worth of IQ should be doing it anymore. Not even learning-disabled Presidents like junior.

'Don't Worry Baby' was early enough. About a year before 'Help'.
As I remember it, 'Don't Worry Baby' was a hit somewhere around the same time as Orbison's 'Oh, Pretty Woman'.
-
Agree. The top 3 early songs are "Don't Worry Baby", "All Summer Long", and "When I Grow Up to be a Man".
'Warmth of the Sun' should be #4 then.
-
Things must be getting dull. Let's have a little confrontation.
Not with you, kiddo. You're much too quick.
-
I like "yup" but it has to be used correctly. It provides extra emphasis and should be used spontaneously. It should be enunciated quickly and then the speaker needs to move on with what else he/she is going to say to qualify the affirmative. It should be used only sparingly.
IMHO
It sounds stupid. Always did. People who use it sound stupid.
-
What is a perogrullada? It's a fact that is so self-evident that pointing it out is just silly. I am now going to point out one to which the USA has been oblivious for no less than 70 years:
WORLD WAR II IS OVER; THE NAZIS ARE NO LONGER A DANGER TO ANYONE.
The nazis of the third reich are no longer a danger to anyone.
The word, a short form for a political party, has - through constant reference - become synonymous with fascism. Fascism is always present and always dangerous.
-
There ARE some who think, despite what the lyrics are TRYING to portend, that the song was a sort of premonition of Brian Wilson's eventual drug and emotional/mental problems. Listening to some of the lyrics, I suppose one CAN read that into it.
People make me laugh with that sort of thing.
'Don't Worry Baby' is a car song, plain and simple. Or rather, a romance song set to a car-culture backdrop.
Beautifully harmonized, though. Possibly the best performance of their early years.

That sounds intriguing to me.
I'd watch that.

Having just read Shirley Jones's autobiography I'd love to read if anyone had a brush with Shirley and/or Jack Cassidy .
No brush. But what a tragic story for Jack Cassidy. He was on the tube a lot in the late 60's and early 70's. Affecting that smarmy smile, we all pretty much recognized him as consistently dooshie, but my grandmother thought he was dimpled perfection. She melted for him.

I love Alfred Hitchcocks' films--so I have to say Saboteur (1942). The script is illogical, one lead is excellent (Robert Cummings), the other ok (Priscilla Lane), but Hitchcock keeps things moving so there isn't time to think, and there are some spectacular scenes. Film shouldn't work but does. Two 1/2 stars out of five. Monday will be a late night for me.
Any movie that has a bearded lady should automatically be given an extra half star.

How about it only has 2 posters for the most part but has thousands of views.
Pretty weird, that.

I don't know where ithe general public would rank him. I know I was amazed at all his credits for film,theater ect...when I looked it up.I think he's a darn good actor myself,and I have him ranked pretty high on my list. I did read a story somewhere,about him selling his book on the sidewalk in New York City once,and nobody paid attention to him. That's nuts...I would have recogized him right away.
Depends on the viewers general age. Under 40's who aren't really into the studio era won't be very aware of everything from 'Baby Doll' up through 'How to Steal a Nillion' - and he did some superb work in that interim (Magnificent Seven, Misfits, Victors, Lord Jim).
I'm really glad he has 'The Good, the Bad & the Ugly' to bring him to their attention at least a little. He was a wonderful character actor.

I knew Eli and Annie well and worked with them many times. Sweet and talented people.
Sweetest movie they ever made together was 'The Tiger Makes Out' (1967).
Now there's a lost film that TCM should pull out all the stops to find. Delightful movie in every way.
p.s. Eli is the "tiger".

"Named or Not".
Now, that's interesting.
So the one who must not be named yet it doesn't matter if we extend that courtesy obviously retains the privilege of shutting down any thread he wants to - with the clear co-operation of administration.
I wonder if we'll receive the same treatment if any of us go into all of his threads and try to get them all shut down.

That's hilarious, gagman.
Imagine what he'd say if he saw a 1970's era Hollywood product.

Are there any books on the Carradine family?
Now, that might be an interesting family to read about.

Well of course, THAT'S just 'cause you ain't TRYIN' hard 'nough, THAT'S all!!!
Now concentrate and just keep sayin' to yourself..."We must just ignore those who keep tryin' to do that", over 'n over again.
(...and just as it seems the folks in charge around here are so good at recitin' that to themselves over 'n over again)
Ig-nore...?
What means this? This ig-nore??
