  1. People really did talk that way then and before. I talk that

    way to this day, at times, having learned it from old films.

     

    Humpty Dumpty was early slang for a short, clumsy person.

     

    Heebie Jeebies is like 'the creeps' or 'goosebumps' or the

    'willies' or the hair standing up on the back of your neck.

    Similar to a Halloween cat. It's that chill that runs up your

    spine when there is nobody around.

     

    I must have seen *The Big Sleep* a dozen times not being able

    to figure out all the dead bodies. Then, when I knew what to

    look for, there were no connections made in the film. But it's

    still one of my favorite Bogart films. Mostly because of that

    little comic routine with the female clerk in the bookstore.

  2. a short one..

     

    An actress with perfect vision is made to wear

    glasses that effectively made her blind. Even in

    long shots, where they would've been undetectable.

    (not the film's storyline - the actual production/direction)

     

     

    I'm referring to a specific movie but any matching

    response will do.

  3. Message Boards Search Feature

     

    One thing I haven't been able to accomplish using the Forum Search:

     

    Locating a specific Thread within a Forum Category - e.g., I type

    _classic film union_ into Search Terms (all Categories - Last 1 yr) and

    all results are for posted responses containing the Search Terms in the

    text or response header, not the Thread title itself. Search Terms

    recognizes the RE: at the top of the response post but that is, more

    and more, not a match for the Topic name. Sometimes it will match

    and that results in a successful search. More often not.

     

    I have long periods when I'm away and would like to catch up to

    where I left off. Some topics fall (way) behind in the listings and all

    I can remember (maybe) is the topic name or part of it. Searching

    page-by-page is tedious at best. Am I missing something here?

     

    Thank you

  4. I miss Johnny Carson so bad it hurts. After years of watching

    I've found, in retrospect, I had tuned in more to watch Johnny's

    performance than to see most of his guests - the last ten years

    anyway. I'm looking forward to this. Hooray for TCM!

  5. > {quote:title=markfp2 wrote: ...}{quote}those that are lucky enough to survive will pass those added costs on to customers via higher ticket prices.

    I can't imagine paying $10-$15 for a small tub of GM-popcorn with artificial butter. Current high ticket prices can be avoided in most areas by attending the early matinee. I guess, soon, those prices will escalate.

  6. one mo time

     

    I've starred in 93 feature films. I made 640 recordings,

    including more than 300 songs written or co-written by me.

    I joined the Army Air Corps in 1942 and became a

    Sergeant. During the war, I ferried fuel, ammunition, and

    arms in the China-India-Burma theater of war and flew

    over the Himalayas, the hazardous air route known as

    "The Hump." When the war ended I was reassigned to

    Special Services, where I toured with a USO troupe in the

    South Pacific before resuming my movie career in 1946.

     

    I carried my love for entertaining and sharp business

    sense into broadcasting, where I owned award-winning

    radio and television stations in Los Angeles as well as

    other stations across the country. My great love for

    baseball prompted me to prominence in the field. Not

    to brag but I hold the honor of having achieved many

    firsts in many fields.

     

    I have to go now. So long.
