I think you're great, Gus! I hope others will seek out the movies you post about and enjoy them as much as I do...

Graham Jarvis from the Mary Hartman show
Congressman Henry Waxman

I agree. Alicia got rooked! She is talented and I think she has had a tough time of it since Clueless.
I hadn't realized it, but you're right, I haven't seen Bridget Fonda for a while.... I wonder what happened?
Well I must go, I have been on here all day, and I should go do dishes or something.... I have to put away the junk that gets strewn all over the house over the weekend... maybe make some pickles.
See ya!

I'm a bit lucky in that regard, I generally don't have to read subtitles if a movie is in Spanish, French or Italian. But if it's in German, Swedish, Russian or Japanese, well, that's another story.
You worked hard in school, didn't you?
I can barely understand French anymore, and I took 5 years of it in high school! I would love to learn more languages. The Ken Loach comment made me laugh out loud! I remember going to a travel agency once, and some people were at the desk - it took me a good five minutes before I realized that they were speaking English- they were from Scotland and had such thick accents that I could barely understand them. And I pride myself on being able to understand people. At the bank where I used to work, they would always send anyone with an accent to me.... because I have a generally good ear for it, and would take time to listen. I have a smattering of knowledge about most countries, and can converse fairly knowledgeably with someone from Europe. I would love to travel more, but I think that is not going to happen anytime soon.

He has a really big..... gun.
I still have to watch Breathless. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet. It is high in my queue, maybe I'll bounce it up to number one- I'll have to drop John Ford down a peg....
It's been hard to watch foreign films since my daughter was born. My hubby doesn't like to read subtitles so I kind of got out of the foreign film habit over the years. I need to catch up!
-
I liked Legally Blonde. and the sequel was good too. There is nothing wrong with a little harmless fun. My favorite of the really silly movies though, is Clueless. It just tickles me beyond anything... I watch it every time it's on.
-
Oh, another great one, Gus. I love that movie, the acting is super. I am always amazed at Richardson's sequence at the tent when he discovers that he is blind.
-
No, but I will now! Hubba hubba. He looks so french.....
-
Did you say you took your mom? Did she enjoy it too?
I like having an excuse to go to kids movies! My daughter laughs at me because I will see something like Winn-Dixie, or Wall:e and at the end I cry...... although she had a couple where she lost it too. I just showed her ET and she looked up at the end and her eyes were red, and she burst into tears and then I felt bad....
-
That's for sure. I can't put it off anymore. Oh, well. It's the least I can do. He gave me life, after all. I think it's a fair trade.
-
That would be awesome! I hear he wears some other very intriguing outfits as well.
My daughter says she wants to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I will probably be going to it in the next week....
-
No, I am woefully weak in my French cinema- I have only seen the most famous movies, and even some of those I haven't seen.
Le Doulos looks interesting. The description reminds me of something I saw with Alain Delon...... I will have to put it in the queue.... you must stop giving me more to watch, my brain will explode!
-
OK. I, unfortunately still owe my dad pickles. He has been asking me to make pickles for about 3 months now. He gave me a recipe, and now, he is tired of waiting. I put it off as long as I could......
-
Ooops. I crossed posts. This one is the one my dad has....
-
I just caught a glimpse of GS in The Kremlin Letter. He looked quite good, considering his age. He was wearing a heavy coat and one of those hats Russians typically wear in cold weather - what are those called? I don't remember.
I don't know, my dad got one though, when he went to Finland, and they are cool! His is black curly lambswool I think. Ahhh. I called him, and he says it's called an Astrakhan. Now I owe him pickles.
-
Wow! That was fast! You may be the first person to watch the dvd!
-
Thanks, FF.
I am more of a dog than a cat, I think. Definitely like to loll around in a sunny spot. And I enjoy being petted, though it doesn't happen very often....
Now I'm going to have to go and rent The Kremlin Letter. You are making me want to see it....hubby might even watch this one. He loves heist movies, but maybe I can sidetrack him into espionage....
-
Oh my gosh, that's great! That's going on as my screensaver right now! What a hoot!
Thanks, George, oop, I mean Goddess. You got the tone just right! ****!

I would love to have been Benita Hume.... deeply happy, and married to Ronald and George. Of course, who wouldn't be happy in those situations?
-
I think Nolte can be a very good actor....he just doesn't take a very good mug shot.

+Everyone I know is allergic to them, I've been very, very
blessed not to be allergic to almost anything (except maybe some people
)+Isn't that the truth! I sometimes wish the world were populated with more animals than people. At least I understand animals.....
-
I wonder if the "cad" role was a bit of a charade, really. A cover for the real George? I don't know. I am curious about the Benita Hume info you have. I read up on George a bit, and read his autobiography. But I didn't know much about Benita. I had read that she was happy with both her husbands despite predictions otherwise, and that when she became ill, George took care of her and he was desolate upon her death..
-
Yes. She was a gorgeous kitty with a regal but friendly manner. You could pick her up, and she would let you pet her forever, if you wanted to. I just loved that cat. Her long grey hair was so pretty....
Some animals have old souls. I've only known two cats in my life that were like this, but I swear both were humans trapped in a cat body! Fluffy was one and Mouschi (my cat from before I realized I was allergic) was the other.
Mouschi was really interesting. He was in a production of The Diary of Anne Frank I was working on. His owner was in the cast, and his mother was allergic to cats. They decided to have a raffle at the end of the show, among the cast and crew, and the winner would get Mouschi. Mouschi was the most amazing actor I have ever seen. Now, most cats when confronted with the stage, the lights and new people, plus an audience, will completely freak out and jump away, or claw someone or just generally go nuts. I have seen it happen in almost every situation when a cat is called for in a play. But Mouschi was the clamest thing you ever saw- like an old pro. He would be carried onstage by the girl playing Anne, she would put him on the cot, and he would sit down. He would watch whoever was speaking, or maybe lick a paw at an appropriate time. Then he would get up at the end of the scene, and wait to be carried off stage! I've never seen anything like it! He was wonderful.
Incidentally, I won the raffle. When I discovered I was allergic, my sister took Mouschi, and they had a really special bond with each other. She has had cats for years, and he is still her favorite.

I missed them both- I only got to see a bit of Of Human Bondage. It's too bad. I really love Paul Henreid.
I noticed there are a lot of movies coming out right now too. Quite a few French releases, a few classics, etc. I thought it was because of Christmas...

Dorothy Sebastian has an odd face - in downward angles, or viewed from the the left side, her nose is cute and button like. In views from the right side, her nose is long and angular, like in the mystery picture. I still think it is Anita, Joan and Dorothy.
