Great find here, AD!
I'm confused. What's the connection between ZZ Top and Leslie Howard? I've already been accused twice today as being clueless. Why not go for three?

Do others get sick and tired of polls detailing all the enviable qualities of others, when it is so much more fun to talk about the less appealing characteristics of almost anyone.
In comparison, then one feels great knowing they are better looking than Jack Elam or Judy Canova hopefully.
Of course this will be very subjective, knowing that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder but you heard it here first. Who are the least attractive, we can even say maybe revolting looking stars of the silver screen?
Nominate your male and female choices here, and we can submit the final tally to Facebook.
Try to pick people who are dead so we don't hurt anyone's feelings!
I've already given two choices but I might also add that woman who starred in films of John Waters, her name was Edith Something* if I recall. I'm sure someone here will give me her last name as I'm too tired to look it up.
*Massey [hope she wasn't related to Raymond!]
Won't we hurt the feelings of their descendants who resemble them?

Really liked your post here, AD. And yeah, Corey's role in HOLIDAY AFFAIR was the primary one I was thinking of when I first suggested his name early on in this thread. Good catch!
But...ummmm...you DO realize of course I was just jokin' around about that thing I highlighted up there, doncha?! YOU know, that thing I said where I earlier suggested the wife and I have little "dress-up nights" at, ahem, "beddy-bye time", and that during "Cowboy Nights" I wear that 10 gallon hat and talk like Sam Elliott as I approach the bed.
(...yeeeeah, I knew you knew I was just kiddin' around, huh...right?!.....RIGHT???!!!!)
LOL
I thought that this thread would be dominated by the ladies. Your garrulousness on this topic sort of raises my eyebrows.

"Chicago" by CSNY
Yes, but somehow I thought this was by Graham Nash individually-------"Please come to Chicago"....I listened to a studio version of "Chicago" by Graham Nash, and a studio version of "Chicago" by CSN & Y. They are exactly the same. What's going on?

It has been very much but it is: Capuchin who made it possible. I had long thought to emigrate to: America but my education/training/credentials would not transfer directly and so I would have had to find some form of employment which allowed much free time and I would have had to pay for schooling. It was that employment which he gave me was very casual and that I could draw on his credit that allowed me to accomplish what little I have.
To move and to go to school and then to find work are all common things here. That type of freedom and opportunity should be treasured.
Yes, the freedom to use as many colons as you damn well please.

Have a couple more for consideration here...
John Forsythe
Robert Cummings
I refuse to consider them.

I always find these lists fascinating. Why bother to ask people their honest opinions if they are to be ridiculed if they don't pick the "right" people. There is no right or wrong opinion. Frankly, I like a list that away from the norm. Those are the type that get discussions going.
The list calls for "Top Ten" and there are more than ten beautiful men and women who acted during the classic era . So some will be left off the list. You could have a top 30 and some one would complain. I see this in music also.
I've known men (including on this thread), who thought Ava Gardner was the finest woman to walk on a set. If I made a list purely based on lists , Ava and Greta would not be on it. To each their own.
That's the thing. Ava had a great body. Some of the others on the list did not.
-
Already been posted but here's a better one.
Good one, but "Supernature" is better. Also try "This Time Baby" by Jackie Moore, "Contact" by Edwin Starr, "Forbidden Love" by Madleen Kane, "Come to Me" by France Joli, and "There But for the Grace of God Go I" by Machine.

I've heard of the film, but I've never seen it. I would like to, though.
OK. This has nothing to do with movies, but it is very timely..........Name a rock song that is about the Democratic or Republican National Convention.

I am sorry for your loss. I do hope that you are considering allowing a kitten to adopt you so that you will have four again. It is my understanding that three is not a good number for cats because there may be times when two will gang-up on one. It is more likely to be two-against-two when you have four cats.
Your comment led me to re-read my original post in full. It is strange indeed to think it has been four years. I should perhaps provide update re: my time since that post. I finished all course-work and necessary programs to receive degree and licenses necessary for employment. I waited out my five years and applied for citizenship through naturalization and was accepted and so am now proudly: U. S. citizen. My perfidious friend/employer/fiance finally married me in most scheming and devious manner possible. I have been accepted for: Master's Program and have begun first stages of necessary research.
To paraphrase Garrett Morris from early SNL, America has been very very good to you.

My older brother was a teenage dj so he had a lot of those "club hits" that never made it to the radio. Funny thing is now with internet radio, they finally are getting played after all these years.
As an example of a great club disco song------"Supernature", by Cerrone.

Yeah, I realize that, BUT have always assumed you learned that while you were out in California for a time....and during that summer job you had in the Central Valley outside Fresno working as a U.F.W. member under Cesar Chavez.
(...well, not LITERALLY "working under Cesar Chavez" of course, but YOU know what I mean!)
Beat summer job I ever had. Chicks coming out of the woodwork.

Now, Hibi baby, you can see a Vole anytime you want. Just scroll down the page a little.
What about skunks ? Now there's a creature I whole-heartedly loathe.
Ok, just looked them up. Apparently skunks are NOT rodents, but in some skunky species category of their own. Slightly related to weasels.
Is this "Vole" thread named after Leonard Vole? (Tyrone Power in WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION)
-
YEAH, yeah, we've had this discussion before, ol' buddy.
And I STILL say "Disco Inferno" was the BEST damn disco song EVER!!!
(...so THERE!!!)
You realize that out of my 53,000 posts, about 20% of them contain the term "low hanging fruit".

So, since the original post, Saturday Night Fever has been aired. There are lots of fond reminiscences and nostalgic comments about the disco era here (which I remember too), but not many posts about the actual movie.
Any thoughts about that? The movie, I mean.
Anyone know what ever happened to "Stephanie" ? (Karen Lynne Gorney). This movie should have been her big break to stardom, but I never saw or heard of her again. Of course, not the case for John Travolta.
I have to admit, I enjoy the music in the film. More than I did at the time it came out, at which time I "hated" disco, and looked down on anyone who liked it. But I'm older and wiser. and actually like quite a lot of disco now.
But even at the time, I took a guilty pleasure in the BeeGees "Staying Alive". Who didn't? (take pleasure in the song, whether guiltily or not.)
When it comes to music, I guess I should feel guilty about liking many disco songs. On the other hand, most of the songs I like are the farthest thing from "low hanging fruit". Most were club, rather than radio songs, that many people don't know. The songs from SNF, I can do without.

By the time I moved to New York City in 1981 the discos had been renamed "dance clubs" and the music was called "dance music", the term disco being anathema. Palladium, Danceteria, Pyrimid Club....people still wanted to dance.
I went to Danceteria. It was a punk and new wave club, not a disco or "dance club". It wasn't all the way downtown, but it still was just like the downtown clubs like the Mudd Club.
-
Heh, yeah. Not using the dong for anything is NEVER fun!
Plus, I think one admitting they used to hang out and/or frequent discos back in "the day" to be the EPITOME of courage!
Now, my ex pestered me into taking her to see this movie once it hit the "dollar show" and I went under protest. I don't, never did and never will like disco music. And really wasn't impressed by Travolta, nor anything about "Welcome Back Kotter", so I was prepared to be bored to the bottom of my bowels.
To my surprise, I wound up LIKING the movie, in spite of the music, and WAS impressed by Travolta's performance. And it was a good story. But it COULD have been done in ANY era( and might have been, and think it WAS, but can think of no examples) but disco was relevant at the time of it's making.
Travolta's character's growth from being self centered to being more introspective was handled pretty well I thought, and it turned out to be more than about the music or dancing, and it turned out to be not such a bad night out.

What was really great was when I lived in NYC circa 1980, and I would go to the uptown discos and the downtown punk and new wave clubs, sometimes in the same weekend. I liked both scenes ,Still like both genres of music, though disco has fallen behind.
-
In FAME two of the characters go to see ROCKY HORROR, which is used as a vehicle for the conservative Doris Finsecker to "loosen up".
Of course, in THE APARTMENT, C.C. Baxter tries to watch GRAND HOTEL, but gets only commercials.

Yep. He almost made it to 100, but not quite.
Try the new drink sensation, the Jack Garner,
one half warm pee, one half warm spit.
They were prepared to give him a silo full of warm spit on his 100th birthday.

The disco era was one of the most fun times in my life. Too bad I was too young to go anywhere or do anything. I had older family members who told me all about it when they got home.
Seems people were more free, less sensitive and judgmental as they are now.
Let me get this straight. You find not going anywhere and not dong anything to be fun?

It seems to have been unceremoniously moved to the Off Topic board.
If that's the worst thing that happens, I can live with it.

I thank you for your kind words. I have noticed that my writing is much more correct in many ways when I am either: analytical or: angry. I believe this is because I then focus on presentation of the words so that they will have the best effect. It is when I am being: casual and: friendly that my word order and use of articles gang aft a-gley.
Well, gang aft-a-gley to you, too.
I just got this one somewhat hot off the presses & believe me the editor or editing team of these picks simultaneously has some marvelous music scores to go along the whole ride! & they devided this into many sections
All-Time Most Unattractive Men and Women of Movies

How about the couple of Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler. Not only were they unattractive, but seemed to have faces straight out of the 19th century.
