Tati--the fourth great silent film comedian. TCM shows all his films periodically, except for his last: Trafic. I eagerly await its airing.

Unfortunately, there is no effective way to convey a tongue in the cheek on this message board.

What the poster was saying was that no black in the movies uses "an," which is the standard contemporary stereotype of blacks. They don't shuffle and shuck-and-jive anymore, they say "aks" and don't say "an."

They sure do look enthused (nnnnzzzz. . . .)

She was, is a great actress. I was grateful for the films TCM showed of hers when they spotlighted her. I especially liked her performance in The Toy Wife. Painful, yet wonderful to watch her growing realization of her superfluity.

Aaaaa! Another of my source sites gone!

That's her!

No, her popularity did not derive from her singing or dancing.

You will not get nearly the same cussing at any plain ole cowboy bar that you would get from sailors. The cussing in The Last Detail was tame as a little Sunday grandmother's quiltmaking chit chat compared to true navy blue. I thought I knew cussing until I hear a pair of sailor buddies going at it. Now I know what they mean by foul-mouthed profanity.

Please sir, do you have a Victor Moore? This lady. Wonderful talent. Acting. Singing. Dancing. Underappriciated. Underused. She still made it big: /post.gif]

Damn! Somebody's found a source of my photos! I was thinking of using that one.

Well, the movie is about sailors. And there is nothing legendary about their cussing. TCM has shown movies with the seven little words for many years.

From the movie Forward to thr Past. Is the last picture you posted Frank Morgan?

Point for musicalnovelty! Is this too much like the guy?: /post.gif] Yeah, I think so, but it looked very unlike him to me.

Blonde wasn't the color you know her by. She was a top actress in the forties. Here's another pic: /post.gif]

Zasu Pitts. twinkeee, it's not Ann Southern. Here's another of her. She's sixteen: /post.gif]

I envy you. No, I hate you. OK, you recognize this lady? It looks nothing like I'm used to seeing her: /post.gif]

You got it. Didyou know the photo?

The glasses can help: /post.gif]

On Apple computers, there is a program, called Preview, which can copy all or part of what is on the screen and save it as a PNG, JPEG, or other file. You can sellect what you want to save. I'm sure there is something in Windows that has a similar capability. Then you can go to the site tinypic.com and upload it and get an address for the file to paste into this thread in the plain text mode. Here's what the homepage for tinypic looks like: /post.gif] Choose a file on your computer, the file type (in this case, image), and resize it as you want. Click Upload Now, and enter the confirmation code provided. After you upload your image, you will see this: /post.gif] Copy the IMG code for Forums and Message Boards between the s. Then on this thread in the plain text mode, paste that where the dots are below: (exclamation point). . . . . . /post.gif(exclamation point) I can't type the exclamation points, otherwise the site will think I'm referencing a real address. You can click on the preview tab to see if it worked.

That may be something you have to contact your cable (or other) provider about.

A lot of people believed George W. Bush would cut spending, also. Funny, huh?

One name forgotten here is Theda Bara, the original vamp.

Well, might as well name him, and move on to others.

Can you see the man in the boy? (if you're familiar with the pic, please refrain): /post.gif] I guess a lot of people are familiar with this. Zat so? Edited by: slaytonf on Jan 6, 2013 12:59 PM
