Trigger apparently was such a ham that he would start to bow if he saw even a few people gather
People are so quick to put human emotions to animals......animals will OFTEN start going through their bag of tricks when they think the time is right for getting a reward.
As soon as my horse SEES me, she starts bowing. If anyone stops to pet her while in her stall, she stars "performing" to get a treat (which she's SURE you're offering her)
That's why you are advised never to teach your horse "tricks" or your parrot to "whistle" (they won't bother learning words)
In my condo, I'm not even allowed to own a dog, let alone a horse.

That's how some of us get our kicks.
I agree. In fact I'm listening to Alien Sex Fiend's stuff right now.

...is coming on tonight at 12:15 am (EST) as part of a look into films of the 1970's and others have mentioned that it is apparently a TCM premiere...
at the risk of angering the Moderator Gods, I found a copy online (with nudity and everything!) and watched it just now.
I DID NOT LIKE IT (NOT EVEN one LITTLE BIT,)
although the ending was quite well done....and most of the acting was alright.
Feel free to check in with your thoughts on the film now or after seeing it, would be curious what you all think/thought.
(and for the record, I don't think the director and cast were trying to make a likeable movie.)
I recall that it seemed right on point at the time it came out.

How do you feel about Sarah Vaughn, Dargo?
She's got some sex appeal but she also looks like she could give most men a Half-Nelson if they upset her.
May I answer a question directed at Dargo? Her voice certainly does it.

I'm sure there are people who don't care for noirs.
These are probably the same people who like June Allyson.

There was a sequel, called "More About All About Eve". I thought I has both volumes, and this past Chrsitmas, found the sequel, almost new, for dirt cheap. I gave it to a friend, then later realized I didn't have mine (if I ever did). I regretted giving it away.
Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy friendship.

I just spit out my Diet Coke!
Actually I think Hermione is adorable and very cute looking but if she had a horrid personality, well maybe I'd not find her too attractive.
I have a hard time getting past her name.

That's the one, DGF.
Your thread.
This film, which chronicled a particular genre of rock, had its score written, and performed, by an artist, along with his group, whose real last name was Meyers. Film? Group?

Hermoine Gingold????

While watching some of the Westerns yesterday, with Roy Rogers I was as always impressed with the wonderful palomino known as Trigger. Originally named Golden Cloud, he supposedly began his career carrying Olivia DeHavilland as Maid Marian in the Robin Hood epic with Errol Flynn. Trigger, having been born on July 4. 1935 was a thoroughbred who could do 150 tricks by the time he was working with Roy, and the palomino was one Roy had picked out of a group of five, to play his steed on film. Trigger apparently was such a ham that he would start to bow if he saw even a few people gather, and could walk up stairs to visit sick children in hospitals and was also potty trained, which helped when he and Roy would stay in hotels. Trigger was the consummate performer but sadly was never bred and died on July 3, 1965 and as we all know, Roy's love for him caused him to have Trigger preserved by a taxidermist and he stood for many years at his museum, and was bought finally after being at Branson by a group who plan a Western museum.
On the other hand, Mister Ed though not a big movie star like Trigger, did have many stars of films pay court to him on his eponymous show, "Mister Ed" like Clint Eastwood, Mae West, and Zsa Zsa Gabor among others. Ed's real name was Bamboo Harvester, and he too was a palomino with many talents, some of which were his ability to understand over 25 worded commands, to bat a ball while playing with the Dodgers, to pick up phones, close up his stable doors and pout, and many other things. One talent he had over Trigger was of course his ability to talk, and to put humans in their place. Mister Ed was a gelding, which sadly means he had been castrated so again there is no progeny to carry on the line, but there is a situation about his demise from kidney and arthritic problems which is called EdGate. Some say he lived from 1949 to 1970 and others say he was euthanized by a caregiver who thought he was in pain, and a double horse was trotted out as Mister Ed for photo ops. Even Alan Young added to the controversy by saying he used to visit Ed after the date he was supposed to have been dead.
Whichever story you believe, it is immaterial as both palominos were exceptional performers, but my question is...Mister Ed or Trigger?
Just like answering if you prefer Ginger or Mary Ann or the Munsters versus the Addams Family, I think picking Ed over Trigger or Trigger over Ed will be very telling.
Please explain your reasons for your vote.
No votes for Bullet or Buttermilk will be counted in the tally!
May I vote for Edna May Oliver?

I always thought Dolores Hart was beautiful.
But I also thought she was rather sexless, which of course is a good quality if one is to become a nun.
Even Elvis didn't hit on her, which says a lot.
That's why I don't see her as a Hitch heroine. Kelly was austere but icy on the outside and hot on the inside appearing. Hart seemed tepid in comparison.
Beautiful but sexless. By way of contrast, I'm trying to think of an actress who was ugly but sexy.

I apologize CAVEGIRL, for being so late with my "like" of your HOBBIT post.
In fact ALL of those "Lord Of The Ring" flicks, as did the books they came from, bore me to the bottom of my bowels!
I've often referred to the first three as "The Sandman Trilogy".
Sepiatone
Bottom of my bowels? I never heard that expression, and, frankly, I'm glad.

No spence. "They" aren't serious. And "They" was me, and who started this little joke in this thread about a "Bob and Ozzy meet Buster Keaton Tour".
(...OH, and one more thing here...Ozzy is British ya know, and so he spells his last name with that British superfluous letter "u", and which you left out of his name up there!)
LOL
Spence should also realize that Dargo sometimes goes off the rails on the crazy train.

Speaking of books and ALL ABOUT EVE, the book ALL ABOUT ALL ABOUT EVE is really good, quite frankly much better than the movie. It goes into pretty extensive detail about the making. The biggest irony that I came away from was that Bette and Celeste, who played best friends in the film, despised one another IRL; whereas Bette and Anne Baxter, who of course played mortal enemies, formed a lifelong friendship.
Celeste always gave me the impression that she thought that her **** didn't stink.

This early 80's horror film, a stylish cult favorite that is shown occasionally on TCM, features a cameo by a British band during the film's opening sequence, performing their signature song, whose lyrics could be construed to reflect the film's subject matter.
I need the name of the film, the band, and the song they perform in the film.
Wild guess-----Bauhaus, "Bela Lugosi's Dead"?

Well, it WAS about ABOUT MRS. LESLIE, then it was all about ALL ABOUT EVE, but if you want to make it about ABOUT MRS. LESLIE again, then by all means- go on about it.
Ow...my head hurts now.
Now, about your "all about ALL ABOUT EVE" comment.........

I remember Seymour, but.wasn't watching in the late.60s,, since I lived in Tijuana.then. I remember seeing it in the mid to late 70s,, on Channel 13. On weekends they would.show a.movie twice ("Saturday at.11; Sunday at.3"). I was so blown away by TCT one late.Saturday night,.that I.made sure to watch it again Sunday afternoon. Blew me away each time,.and as a kid of maybe 10, I knew it was pretty bad, but engrossing nonetheless.
Sinister Seymour? I love it.

A number of people on these boards will be able to tell you what was distinctive about George Brent. I'll defer to them.
