  1. It's killing me trying to remember what movie he said that. What a trivia question that would make, eh? I widdled it down to either Sargeant TORk, Adventures of TORko Polo, and let's not forget Along came Tor. These are all great sTORies, and The movies were pretty good for GORy (as in Cooper).

    I'm thinkin here.. The WesTORner (1940).  .. yeah..

  2. Reminds me of the verb "Bogarting" as in to "Bogart your way through a crowd". Which basically means to forcefully push your way in with no regard to the other people who might be in your way.   

     

    We used this expression all my life from the 70's forward. And we all knew what it meant.

    As a verb, we only used it like this:

     

    v.
    1969, "to keep a joint in your mouth," dangling from the lip like Humphrey Bogart's cigarette in the old movies, instead of passing it on. First attested in "Easy Rider." The word was also used in the 1960s with notions of "get something by intimidation, be a tough guy" (again with reference to the actor and the characters he typically played). In old drinking slang, Captain Cork was "a man slow in passing the bottle."
  3.  

    last saturday evening's latest showing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind seemed to be edited. missing was the scene with roy neary taking a shower in the bathtub while hilariously commenting on the waterproofness of his wristwatch. that scene has been in every cut of CE3K I've ever seen but not last saturday nite.
    my guess would be that they just aired the print they had which was already edited since I doan believe tcm would even extend themselves to shorten a film. :)

     

    I'm still waiting for The Special Television Edition to show up here on TCM - with the shots of Roy inside the mothership at the end.
