*I Confess*

I don't think I know the actor, but it makes think of a picture of a Dickensian character with a top hat.

I know that's Valeria Golina, so I'm guessing that's a Hot Shots movie!

*The Secret of My Success* with the boss' wife coming on to Michael J. Fox??

On the whole, I agree with lavenderblue, I've seen worse, but a lot better. Seth just was not funny. The Memoriam was lacking at least Ann Rutherford, Andy Griffith, and Larry Hagman and was disappointing. They may argue that Hagman and Griffith were stars more in a tv way, than film way, but how long does it take show their picture, and how much does it cost to get a picture or clip of them? The highlight was Bassey singing, and while I like Adele's music generally, the Skyfall number wasn't that great. It was passable and I had a generally good time, helped by the winners good speeches. And while I was surprised that Seth could actually sing, his musical numbers were lacking in taste. I too am surprised they asked him. On a constructive note, they should stick to giving out the awards without trying to be funny all the time, or at all. We all want a good time, but not at others' expense. Maybe next year will be better. On another note, (I thought of this last night) they said some time in the past few years on the Oscars, that the awards were started to celebrate (the best of the) movies (or something to that effect), but in fact I read somewhere they were started due to poor movie theater attendance and to picque peoples' interest in the winning performances and films. Maybe next year's Oscars will be better. Edited by: allaboutlana on Feb 26, 2013 10:43 AM

No, I haven't seen Soylent Green, but it is on my short list of movies to see. Thanks for posting these pictures, and keep 'em coming.

I thought of guessing, but I don't know the film. I think I would remember the red decor. But I know how it is when no one knows the answer, so they don't play - no reaction to the question. The actor from the back looks like Robert Shaw, from Jaws or the villain from Point Blank. But I don't know. Edited by: allaboutlana on Feb 25, 2013 3:59 PM

As someone else said, I believe, make a guess first and then more information will be forthcoming.

I should think we've waited long enough. If no one posts soon, I may take it.

Here's another one: " "Haec olim meminisse iuvabit." I need not translate it for you." The phrase is from Virgil's Aeneid, meaning, "In the future, it will be pleasing to remember these things." But what film is it from and who said it? Edited by: allaboutlana on Feb 25, 2013 1:38 PM
