Hmmmm... "Joy Bang" 'ALMOND Joy Bang" "a slow-poke" (...glad to see you guys have been holdin' down the fort for me while I was out today)

I guess Treacher must've already been covered by Blue Cross, eh Ham?!

Hmmmm...considering the era THIS particular "Superman" would have been shot in, like maybe the late '50s, shouldn't that have read: "And introducing Clint Eastwood, "Rowdy Yates" from television's RAWHIDE"? (...AND, Big Duke by THIS time would've needed even a LARGER sized hairpiece than he NORMALLY wore AND with that little curl across the forehead to even BEGIN to pull off THIS Superman, now wouldn't HE???) LOL

Doc, if you haven't seen this yet, you(and maybe others here) might then be interested in this 1990 interview with Easton.

Really, ND?! Why, I've never noticed accountants being a particularly "fun loving" group!!! (...what?!...are you NOW gonna tell me that those with engineering degrees are usually "the life of the party" TOO?...'cause I KNOW that AIN'T usually true...no offense to any engineers around here, however)

For as little as Angie always did for ME, I gotta admit the last time I watched "Point Blank", she had me thinkin' she was a little "smoldering".

OH yeah, I remember that now. And, for some reason at the time I thought it kind'a strange that a female student blurted that out. (...not that there's anything "wrong" with "that", you understand!) LOL

AND, don't forget movies about Genghis Khan, starring a certain tall drink o' water actor TOO, pilgrim!!! LOL

Yeah, who IS that guy, anyway? It KIND'A looks like Maxwell Caulfield(of "Grease II" infamy...err..I mean fame, LOL), but I don't see his name shown anywhere on even the extended cast credits in the IMDb webpage for this movie, nor for that matter anyone at all even shown for the part of "Teacher Betty Smith's funeral consoler".

Yeah, but I guess SHE was somehow too old for his tastes! I mean she WAS "all of" 40 years old in this baby, remember?! And besides, for some odd reason, Angie never did much for me, and I thought the hottest females in this thing were Barbara Leigh who played his wife... ...and Joanna Cameron who played one of the "Pretty Maids"... But then again, you know me and MY thing for brunettes, doncha?! (...wonder whatever happened to THOSE two luscious ladies?)

YEAH?! Well, what about the PRIEST'S eyes, HUH?! Any "vapors" THERE as you recall??? LOL (...though maybe we should keep this thread focused upon Ms. Laemmle's long and most interesting life, eh?!)

After reading Ms. Laemmle's biography, I have to agree with you here, Ham. AND, after reading primosprimo's following comment in this thread... ...I THINK I'm startin' too see where that whole "bad boy" fixation of hers germinated! "Bela LUGOSI"???!!! LOL (...sorry primos, et al...I just couldn't resist)

Yeah, poor Rock. I guess he just had to settle for..ahem..."hey diddle diddle"-ing in THIS flick here.

Ya know Holden, I'm thinkin' here that it's kind of a shame you specified "Tarantino" in your thread's title, and especially after also mentioning Scorsese and Russell in your opening post but only the number of films on THEIR list, as I believe this could make for an even more interesting thread if it were more about any and all notable directors' favorite films and not just Tarantino's. (...aaah but alas...because no threads around here EVER go off-topic, my thought is probably doomed to failure, huh!) LOL

Yeah...and I think a lot of "cranky old guys who yell at kids to keep off their lawn" were the first to notice this, Dan!!! LOL

Well, HECK Rey! I'D go as so far to say that EVEN some "cranky old guys who yell at kids to stay off their lawn" probably know who Tarantino is!!! THOUGH of course, because Quinton didn't break into The Biz and start makin' movies until LONG after after Louis B. Mayer bit the dust, I kind'a sort'a doubt the aforementioned "demographic" cares too much for his films. (...well, that is IF said demographic has actually ever WATCHED any of his flicks anyway, of course!) LOL

Good comments here, Holden. As you probably know, back in the day, actor turned dialogue coach Robert Easton here was the "go-to guy" in Hollywood when an actor needed to learn an accent other than their own and make it at least somewhat believable. (...whenever I think of him or see him in a movie, him saying, "Well howdy to your face!" in a backwoods Southern drawl always springs immediately into my mind...but he also did and taught people a variety of other English language accents and dialects)

Yeah, I hear Tarantino is a big fan of Sergio Leone's work TOO!!! (...not to further "name-drop" here, of course!!!) LOL

Yeah, that's exactly what I WAS thinkin' here, TOO! (...but I JUST could never get the hang of that whole "Photoshop" thing!)

"Shot! A fella could have a pretty good birthday party with all the stuff in this here survival kit!" (...sorry Joe...couldn't resist)

Reminds me of... "Hmmmm...hmmmm...Do you believe in The Hereafter?" -"Yes, I do." "Hmmmm...hmmmm...Then you know what I'm here after!"

Yeah, well, I'll be waitin' for a combination of BOTH of these shorts, and maybe titled "Our Great Old Morgan Car", and it'll be about THIS...

Didn't KNOW I could so "ruthless", now DID ya?! LOL (...and thanks for the heads-up about Stefie here)

Well, ya KNOW TB, even though he's somewhat well known, Quentin Tarantino COULD have been using this database TOO all this time for all we know, AND it COULD be argued that Quentin COULD be considered part of "the general public" TOO, ya know....I mean, as they say, "we ALL put on our pant legs one at a time", remember. And so, the compiling of all this data..well..couldn't this be just ANOTHER case of, as you made note of in another thread around here recently, "useless trivia", ANYWAY?! And so, I must ask: Why the heck do you care about all this at ALL then??? (...and besides, Quentin COULD be screwin' up ALL your figures here ANYWAY, ya know!!!) LOL

Dick has a ready excuse for this, LP...at the 1:53 mark of this clip...
