While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads...

HI Wendy...
I am curious if he was the conscience from the beginning, or if it was "thrust upon him" at this point in the movie....It seemed to me that he might have suddenly "seen the light".
This is only my take on it (for what it's worth)....and I don't want to give you too much in the way of a spoiler...but it seemed to me that Pedro and the young Kid both were "taught" to respect the Good Book and it's teachings and had more or less fallen away from their upbrining until this event brought them back around to seeing "the light"....and I think Bob's "seeing of the light" was a more sudden thing than the others as he had nearly zero respect for the book or it's teachings or its author....until....
But I agree w/ you that Pedro was a voice of conscience...and I don't recall him (or the kid either) ever once complaining about their sworn duty...Bob had the same determination as they did....he just wasn't as "quietly resolved" about it.
Hope you get your recordings made!! I am off for the last minute few little things...and of course...some vhs tapes and kleenex...(I wasn't kidding...my box is almost empty!!) If I don't talk to you sooner....Have a very MERRY one!!! :-)

Woohoo!! (pardon my little happy dance, folks)
OK...here goes...
What classic film features a young woman on a honeymoon cruise w/ a rich playboy where she orders a specific kind of soup (for the first time) and ends up regretting it for most of the rest of the cruise as both the food (along w/ the waves) cause a violent gastronomical reaction. Name the film, and you get bonus points if you can also name the soup

Merry Christmas Grey Guy....from what I hear those little cousins are going to have quite a merry one thanks to a certain someone and his brother....
PS...I finally found the perfect hat for you: :-)

Well, this should make you feel better: due to the "economy", our local 99 cent store
now charges $1.49.
Ah....the tightfistedness in me feels better now...thanks. :-)
Speaking of dry, with the past few days icy weather, you could oil me with olive
oil and set me out there in that desert to bake---anything but this
Oh MY! That sounds like an episode of the Food Network gone awry!! I know what you mean though...along w/ the stock that I should take out in Kleenex....I should also give the Vasoline Intensive Care folks a closer look as well. :-) Tis the season!!

loved the music in the Wayne version. The Streets of Loredo is such an evocative song, even before I saw (bits of) this movie it made me get all choked up.
It has such a haunting little melody....It is stuck in my brain...I woke up w/ it in my head...I don't mind a bit. :-)
April...nice observation on the sand...I never thought of it that way...but it would not surprise me at all..

Hiya April...
I am also hoping I can record the 1936 version, since I may not be home I will have to program it which will be a neat trick with all these new wires I have to untangle.
Well good luck w/ that one, little missy. I imagine it would be a "technophobic" nightmare for someone like me....I am just hoping I can figure out how to program the vcr (I think I can, I think Ican) so I don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to start recording...(we are an hour earlier on start time here) I am also wanting to get it figured out before tonight so I can record The Cheaters...I keep seeing folks talking that one up and we will be at church tonight when it is on, so I am going to try to get this thing figured out. (I also need to make a mad dash to the DOLLAR store--oh..I am so disgruntled over having to pay that extra penny ever since you told me you all have 99cent stores there!!!) :-) I only had one tape and I used it for T3GF yesterday... :-)
I will look forward to you posting the stories from Harry Carey Jr....I think that would have been a fun time working on that project...except...maybe for being in the desert...I am not a HEAT lover..I likely would have melted. That book sounds really nice...I think it is always fun to hear stories about stars that are so personable. I don't know too much about him, but from the way you make him sound, I bet he is a very nice guy.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse...

Merry Christmas to all, and God's richest blessings to you in the New Year.
Hope you all have a very safe and happy Holiday!! :-)

"reptile shades" for my new carpet
HA! I am liking that idea....can you bring a sample over for me too when you come to do my big "home makeover" deal?? :-)
-
Wow Molo!! What a great Christmas surprise. I am so happy to hear this news. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and that your mom will just continue to improve each new day. I bet you all are just about beside yourselves. Very good news indeed! :-)

Hi Barb...very cute animal pics!! Here I was thinking that the only way to find a cute lizard was on a pair of shoes or boots...HA! (loved the puppy one too!) Thanks. :-)
-
One more
April...That's one I have never seen...was that hug from "The Horse Soldiers??"
Here is yet another "hug" I've never seen...enjoy!
-
thanks molo...
Pastman...would it be..Somewhere In Time?
-
Is anyone allowed to guess....I think I know the answer (for once in my life...) :-)
-
You would be very lovely
Everybody is lovely in a wannabe thread...it's when you step outside that little realm...oh well...
-
Hey look at that...I never looked (or sounded) so good!! I decided earlier (just to keep this thread on track) that if I could not be Doris I would want to be Judy Garland just so I could dress/sing/and play the harp like she did tonight in The Good Old Summertime....not that great a version of that story...but I liked her singing in it...
But now after seeing this pic of D. D. oh...decisions, decisions!!! :-)
-
"if you could be any..." Us "black hats" sometimes wish to be good,
Hey....wasn't there someone on another thread that was a "lowlife wannabe?" ....Oh wait...that was me....never mind!! :-)
-
that big hat
But it is the wrong color...I thought your hat was at least grey....or is it black????????? :-)
-
And may all your Christmases be white....
(next person up....feel free to keep it going or choose another starter if you like..)

OH Jack...I am so glad you got to tape it. I hope you get to watch it all the way through sometime soon. I did a little mini ramble over in the western thread. And my Kleenex box is running dangerously low..I don't think I can handle too many more of these emotional movies!!
-
The 3 Godfathers....oh..me...oh my...what an emotional week this has been for me...and that's just with all the movie talk going around. I decided to bring this ramble over here just to keep us in a Western locale...
I am so glad to have gotten to see this one again. It has long been a favorite of mine. And watching it again today after all the emotional discussion of our other 3 Friends over in the Movie Rambles thread...let's just say I am about played out. I may need to go watch the Grey Guy's disgusting favorite (Once Upon a Time...etc) just to get over all this emotion. But for now I will just revel in it a bit longer instead. It IS the Christmas season...(if not this time of year then when??)
April and Grey Guy...the 3 Wise Men theme is all over this one for sure. Even more blatantly than I recall ("The kid" even specifically mentions it) And there are so many other aspects of the Christmas story woven in here along w/ a lot of other Bible themes.
SPOILER-- I especially loved the way The Kid and Pedro make their peace w/ their Creator before they die...very heartwrenching. And was it just all this emotion....or what? This time, for the first time I almost wondered if William was almost "teaching" his young godson a bedtime prayer in the way he reverted back to his childhood prayer at the end..."And make me a good boy" etc...oh...too much ...I need to invest in Kleenex stock if we are going to keep talking about these sorts of films around here.
(PS...SCSU....another "Duke sing along" moment....who knew??? As he is wandering about and starts to lose his footing in the little rocky shelter there toward the end...he starts singing "Streets of Laredo" Glen Campbell's career...stilI safe). :-)
Thanks for putting up w/ my rambling folks. I am going to try and get the 36 version on tape as well. I mentioned over on the other thread...it is quite a bit different in places...but a lot of the same elements are there. I will enjoy the comparison and contrast...and maybe by then I will have time to get to the store and by a couple dozen extra boxes of Kleenex...Oh! I just remembered...tomorrow is Christmas eve...I better hurry. The stores will be closing early!! :-)

yum!

Thanks ladies!! I am feeling better already!!
Western Movie Rambles
in Westerns
Posted
In gradeschool in Texas, this movie was regularly scheduled viewing during class.
Hi April...it has been a very long time since I last saw The Alamo...I can't say that I was all that fond of it, but I may not have given it a fair shake....I think that whole historical story is just so...oh...depressing, I guess, and I am sure that colored my judgement on the film... I bet it if I were writing this in Texas folks would be out lookin' for a rope for me right now!! :-) But, maybe I will give it another try as I really cannot recall too many specific details about the film or storyline (other than the obvious ones)
