There is actually another video of a Wombie (hey, I just made that up!) getting a trifle irritated, but I didn't post it because the lady in the video uses an "indecorous" word. It was the one called "Digger and Donna" for those of you who want to see a mad wombat, and don't mind some bad. language.

Maybe it should be called the coup de grace...

Try Raising Arizona first. I am 99% sure you will like it.

I'm actually a ma'am.

Oh.... that one with the necklace just melts my heart....

For you, Mr.Honeywell-
-
The short answer is no, and it is illegal to own one as a pet in Australia. But there are tons of videos on you tube of cute and cuddly wombats, acting nice around people. However, when they don't act nice, wombats can be destructive and nasty, digging and screeching. They can grow quite large. Just keep a never ending supply of carrots on hand....
A great book... we still laugh over this one. I can't recommend it enough. Our favorite of all time....

How about this one, instead....
-
Thanks for the info- I am seriously considering paying the 240 bucks for this one. I am really looking forward to seeing Liliom, not to mention all the other movies and restored too!
-
Hey, do you mind me asking, where did you get a copy of this movie? It doesn't seem to be on the new Borzage/Murnau box set coming out later, so I am curious....
-
Coopsgirl- AWESOME clips from The River! Another great job- and such a fine looking birthday suit on Mr. Farrell. My pulse is speeding up.... I will have to get a copy of that movie...
I'll post the youtube link:

Ohh, wow. That was beautiful Coopsgirl. I have been saving my copy of Seventh Heaven (I have never watched it) for last in the pile of silents that I am trying to get through. I can't wait to see it.
I am going to go look up those "River" scenes right now....

That's uncanny, Bronxie.

This sounds so ridiculous
Not at all, Ro. I feel the same- except when I am feeling old and grey (gray) like lately! I think I would like to have my own theme music- or maybe several different themes depending on my mood. One sophisticated melody that played whenever I entered a room, another for dramatic meaning, and another for romping thorugh the leaves in autumn.....
Your daughter is a riot! My daughter is starting to scream at the TV like me, whenever she sees young Mickey Rooney on TCM (which is quite a lot lately). She yells out "You look like a WEIRDIE to me!" (Night at the Museum)
Rose of Sharon is popping up all over my yard this year, because I didn't yank out the seedlings this spring. It really is almost a weed here....
We have been going out at sunset to watch the bats lately- first we had one or two, now there are four that fly over our deck at the back of the house. It's really cool, especially knowing that they are eating thousands of mosquitoes while they are swooping and diving over our heads.
Bronxie's description of rampant Iguanas begging for fruit reminded me of a really funny kids book we read- my daughter thought it was hysterical- it's called *Diary of a Wombat* . In Australia, instead of an iguana sitting on your chest, you might end up with a wombat....

Ahhh, but the sweet lasses are the one's to pinch.
Have you been hanging out in my grocery store, Frank?
Though Mr. Grimes deplores the fact that there are no "nice" girls anymore, he really prefers this type of dame-
I'm afraid Janet Gaynor is going to lose this battle, Jeff!
-
Well, maybe if you smile back at the coots you could get some free groceries.
The old guys I run into usually look like they are eying my groceries...it's probably not even me they want....
Coopsgirl- I have a lot of those semisweet regrets-I'm still thinking I did the right thing, but boy, oh, boy, I get a lot of joy out of thinking about those foreign boys I turned down...
-
I always end up with flirty old men chatting me up in the grocery store.... never a Charles Farrell or a Gary Cooper. I think I'd settle for a Joe E. Brown at this point... most of the ones who like me are twice his age...

Sorry! I was so amazed that I actually got one, I forgot to post why! and please if someone wants to, go ahead- my brain is not up to it tonight.
Anita Page played the second lead in Our Dancing Daughters with the main role going to Joan Crawford. She was in Our Modern Maidens and Our Blushing Brides with Crawford as well.
Her final role was in Frankenstein Rising with former child star Margaret O'Brien.
She successfully entered the sound era with The Broadway Melody, but did not really make any headway in her career after that. She worked in movies until 1936, at which point she retired and married. She blamed her inability to get good roles on the fact that she refused to sleep with studio executives. In 1996, her career revived after 60 years, and she was making movies up until her death on September 6, 2008. She was the last living attendee of the first academy awards, and some say she was the last surviving silent film star. She will be missed.

I think that scene you described should be just the thing for those of us braving the cool weather right now! I am warmer already. How about you, Miss G?
I think you should give Sunrise another try. It's funny you mentioned it, because this morning when I saw your pics of Charlie, all I could think of was George O'Brien in Sunrise. He is not as fine looking as Charles Farrell or Gary, but I think in Sunrise, he gives a very moving performance. He usually portrayed good guys as well, so I couldn't help thinking of him. None of the photos I have found of him show him to advantage, but I still think he was good-looking.

Maybe FG looks exactly like a cross between Charles Farrell and Gary Cooper......

oh, I am very familiar with the Koala Bros.!
I am waiting to see how long it takes your daughter to yell out, "FOR PETE"S SAKE, GIVE HIM SOME MORE CARROTS!" after reading Diary of a Wombat. This has the effect of putting us all on the floor in a fit of giggles.
I hope she likes the pictures here.....
