I can't recall that exact quote, but as an Okie, I can confirm that Yippie- ti-yay, yippie-ki-yay, yippie-ti-yi-yay, yippie-ki-yi-yay, and other variants are all used. My favorite, yippie-ti-yi-yo-ki-yay.

Yeah, and I left out the second "C" altogether. I must be going blind, I do know better. I hope Miss W. and LZCutter didn't see it before I corrected it, they'd think I was trying to insult him...

You might call them antecedents of *Silver Streak*, ***** Tonk Freeway*, even *Smoke Signals*, and especially a favorite of mine, *Raising Arizona*.

Mr. Freeze, now he was cool, no matter who was playing him...
James Coburn was supposed to be the epitome of cool as Derek Flint.

I don't think Byrne invented the term "psychokiller," even if he did make good use of it.

>*Carol Cutrere:* Juking? Oh! Well, that's when you get in a car, which is preferably open in any kind of weather. And then you drink a little bit and you drive a little bit, and then you stop and you dance a little bit with a jukebox. And then you drink a little bit more and you drive a little bit more, you stop and you dance a little bit more to another juke box! And then you stop dancing and you just drink and you drive. And then, you stop driving.
Joanne Woodward to Val Xavier (Marlon Brando) in *The Fugitive Kind*, set in Louisiana. Now, y'all, go listen to some Professor Longhair, some BeauSoleil, and some Terrence Simien, to celebrate Mardi Gras.
Listen to some Clifton Chenier, and some Queen Ida too...

>How about 31 Days of NOscar
I don't think it will work. There just aren't that many films about plastic surgery, and the point of most of them *is* the scar, and its effects.

I marvel at your emphasisticism... I guess it's safe to say that you don't find *A Christmas Story* a bit overrated, and overplayed, as I do. It is cute, though...

I would have thought that if anyone would appreciate "over the top," you would. I did.

*North by North Wurst*
Businessman is mistaken for a spy carrying a radioactive sausage. While trying to catch up to the real spy, to get the bad guys off his back, he meets a beautiful blonde on a train. Just so happens she is working with the bad guys, and would like to know where he would hide his radioactive sausage. Their adventures lead them to Mt. Rushmore, believing that the radioactive sausage is stuffed up the nose of a President. But, which one?

Because they don't grow figs in Canada...

Since we're including dead people now, I'll mention a favorite cool guy, as yet unmentioned - Patrick McGoohan.
Women, still living, Isabelle Adjani, and Catherine Deneuve.

Perhaps if I had read the book, I would agree with you and Lanceroten. But, I haven't, and don't. I enjoyed the film a lot. Definitely one of my favorite Kevin Spacey films. But, I know it was on cable recently, MGMHD, perhaps.
I'm looking forward to Joel Mc's films. There are several I haven't seen.

Middleton was a great villain. He reminds me of Victor Jory, who was a great villain in many roles, including his part in *The Fugitive Kind*. Middleton's Ming reninds me of Karloff's Fu Manchu, in *The Mask of Fu Manchu*, where Myrna Loy does a turn as his villainous, and sexually sadistic, daughter.

I think psychokiller Bob Rusk in *Frenzy* was gay, but couldn't admit it to himself, and that's why he was a psychokiller of women.

Thanks, Jack. Not quite a perfect heart, from a sort of side angle. But, you can see how it would be a perfect heart, from straight on.

The most salient fact in an otherwise fine fictional film.

Shepard didn't look like that, before he went over to the Dark Side. You can see what it's done to him.

Yep, I remember the Kerwood Derby too. R&B is probably where I got my love of puns, spoonerisms, and malapropisms.
JEAN SHEPHERD in every BREATH of "A CHRISTMAS STORY"....PLEEZE????

I actually replied to your other post, but to this one, I'm just going to make the sign of the circling sharks...
