Well, specifically in THIS case, THAT all started when our resident "Anti-Gay Marty" fellow stated John Ireland's name in this thread for some odd reason, and along with noted gay movie stars Rock Hudson and Monty Clift.
And then, because he stated John Ireland's name in said post, AND because as Tom up there north of the 49th noted, John Ireland was once married to the beautiful Miss Dru(she with that VERY sexy overbite...and I ain't sayin' that JUST 'cause as a hetero male I always found her very attractive, 'cause I'll bet there's probably a few lesbians AND gay men out there who probably find her very attractive TOO...ah, but I digress), THAT'S how THAT all came about!
(...I sincerely hope that this answers your question)

I think this thread is in trouble, and I feel sorry for the original poster. We have had someone mock the OP's intent by suggesting that a LGBT pride month is a LAME month (whatever). Then, we have a few guys asserting their heterosexuality by pointing out how attractive they find Joanne Dru (which has nothing to do with the original post). Start a separate thread about hot women (and hopefully the lesbian posters will join in).
Anyway, I am not trying to sound antagonistic, but I don't get why the original topic isn't treated more sincerely.
In MY case TB, it's called "Comic Relief", and as you MAY have noticed after all this time, it's MY usual manner of keepin' things from goin' TOTALLY out of control and NOT havin' people at EACH OTHER'S THROATS after "someone" starts in with their "opinions" about their personal feelings about the world-at-large and NOT about FILM!!!
(...c'mon ol' buddy, SURELY you know that that's my standard M.O. around here by now, DONCHA???!!!)

It is, indeed, ridiculous. I wonder if we could compose a list, and ask TCM to remove them from the list?
Okay, here's MY list then, VX...

This reminds me of the swear words you can't say on tv (like v a g i n a and "****") versus what you can like "a s s " or "b i t c h."
Okay, hepclassic! Seein' as how you started it, let's hear the REST of Carlin's old routine, OKAY???!!!

It won't allow the word h e i f e r, which I was trying to use in a pm the other day.
I think you can slip that word past the word filter before noon, Lorna.
(...oh...wait...you said "in A pm" didn't ya...NOT, 'in THE pm"...sorry...never mind)

Has anyone around here ever been to Intercourse, Pennsylvania?

Hmmm...well THAT worked.
(...I guess Sister Mary Ellen has been there)

Ya better cool your jets here, MissW!
Here comes Sister Mary Ellen with that ruler o' hers!!!!!

Why, SANS! You little преступник, you! Watchin' those "unapproved" flicks like that! You should be ashamed of yourself!
(...why, I'll bet poor ol' Vlad Lenin is probably spinnin' inside that glass coffin o' his as we speak!!!)
-
Well then Kid, I suppose it's a good thing for you that they cast Robert Culp as the third male lead in "Sunday in New York"!
(...'cause if they would've cast Hugh there, then you REALLY would have had one hell of time tryin' to follow the plot of THAT one without a scorecard, huh!!!)
-
Yep, Tom! Gotta agree with ya here.
(...she of perhaps the SECOND sexiest overbite in all of Hollywood history after Miss Tierney, eh?!)

So, no Ronald Reagan marathon then?
Why not, hepclassic???
(...you DO know that whole thing about Ronnie and Bonzo WAS just a nasty rumor, DONCHA???!!!)

WAIT! John Ireland was gay???
(...ya know, come to THINK of it, I THOUGHT I saw more than a little 'bro-mance" thing goin' on 'tween him and Monty in "Red River", but I just always thought it was their mutual affinity for and their prowess with six-shooters that bonded 'em so closely!!!)

Well, if we've NOW decided that this thread was REALLY about the END of life, and NOT some talk about the "Afterlife", then might I suggest for consideration the penultimate ending to THIS movie, and a scene which after over three-quarters of a century since its filming can STILL stir up a minor little debate as to Cagney's final actions.
(...me?...well, I'm PRETTY sure he went out this way as a final favor to his ol' pal O'Brien)
-
And I sure wish people would stop quoting that tired stupid "Here's Johnny".
Yep Tiki, I agree. And besides, Jack's "Wendy! I'm Home!" line was always MUCH more fitting and really deserves to be better remembered anyway.
And while I agree with most of your other points, sorry, I JUST could never get past Shelley Duvall and her, well, sorry again, WEIRD look and manner about her. And thus she's the one who's always kinda sorta lessened my enjoyment of this film a little, 'cause I never ever find myself rootin' for her in this movie.
Yeah, yeah, I know that's a shallow comment to make...so SUE me!
(...but HEY, she DID make one hell of an Olive Oyl in that sloooooooow-movin' POPEYE flick, now didn't SHE?!)
LOL

Wesson in NO WAY resembles Lewis. Check out Wesson's hairline, eyes and smile for the Bogart thing. Or his rare "pensive" look.
And anyway don't rag on ME......it was my BROTHER-IN-LAW who made the "mistaken identity".
Also, I've know some who often confuse SOTM Rock Hudson with JOHN GAVIN.
Sepiatone
Sorry Sepia. Didn't mean to rag on ya here...OR your bro-in-law for THAT matter.
But hey, what do I know, HUH?! Years ago I SWORE Johnny Carson(before he turned grey) looked a lot like John Garfield!!!
-
Eeh! Don't worry about it, Sans.
The ONE thing we Agnostics DO know for SURE is that some of you Believers AND some of you Atheists out there can sometimes get carried away about this subject.
(...and we've come to accept that fact!)
LOL

Hill House, in THE HAUNTING...
(...if THAT isn't the main "character" in a film, I don't know what is!)

LOL (about the calling you on it)
That's OK, I'll be flattered. Take a look at that photo of Maria Montez that was posted yesterday in Candids. I see a sort of resemblance to Ann Sheridan (esp in upper part of face) (I reposted this 'cause I edited my last post to you after you replied)
Yep, just a few minutes ago I was over in Joe's "Candids" thread and saw what you said about Maria. And so I covered the lower half of her face with my hand, and found you might have a point there.
-
Thank You Dargo. I've posted this 3 times over the years in other threads, finally someone agrees!
xo'sWell then, you DO know what this MEANS, doncha lavender?!
It means that in about a year from now I'll state this very same thought in another thread and then won't remember who I got it from!
(...and then when you call me on it, I'll confuse YOU with Char!!!!) LOL
-
Does anyone else see a resemblance between Rock Hudson and Gordon MacRae? In certain shots (angles) I do.
Yep, I always have too, lavender.

TB, while it doesn't surprise me at all that because of how you predicated your initial post and by a few of your replies to others in it, this thread has begun to delve into the theological.
I "believe" your primary intent was more specifically geared toward the idea of presenting your opinion that you felt the film A GUY NAMED JOE was mawkish and manipulatively sentimental. And if that WAS your primary intent, then I have to say I agree with you, as the last time I watched this movie I remember more than few scenes contained within it which caused me to involuntarily "roll MY eyes to the heavens", too!
However, having said this, sorry, I also think you might have been placing much too much importance upon this film in regard to it being some form of an "essay" about "the Afterlife", as I got the impression you also wanted(and maybe more than you realize) to use this movie as some sort of an example to press your own theological opinion(s) here.
I'd like to add that even though this Agnostic HERE isn't inclined toward a belief in some Afterlife, some of my favorite films are ones I "believe" to be well made and extremely entertaining and which touch upon this very subject, such as Lubitsch's HEAVEN CAN WAIT.
(...and THAT'S probably because I like movies about this subject that don't take themselves all that seriously, because MY "belief" is that the more people DON'T take themselves all THAT seriously, the better THIS "life" becomes!)

Hugh Marlowe and Richard Carlson
OH yeah! Gotta admit these two are very understandable, redhook.

Naw, Clark's moustache was perrenial, and Deacon so rarely wore one( in fact, the photo you posted is the ONLY time I've ever seen him with one) that it'd be hard for ME to ever mix them up.
But an easier one just happened. My brother in law, who's not really a classic film buff, happened onto TCM the other night and saw DESTINATION MOON. He mentioned his surprise, as he said he never knew HUMPHREY BOGART ever made a sci-fi flick.
I told him it WASN'T Bogey, but DICK WESSON, who often got mixed up with Bogart by lots of people.
Sepiatone
Bogie?! REALLY, Sepia?!!
If Dick Wesson reminds me of ANYBODY, it's Jerry Lewis.
(...and as per by mentioning of this in that "Destination Moon" thread)
-
Why, I don't know WHAT you guys are talkin' about here! Ya see, just a while back I purchased from the TCM store "The Dick Wesson Collection", aka, "The first guy to do the whole Jerry Lewis shtick before Jerry did it".
(...and MY copy of "Destination Moon" is SUPERB!!!!)
xo's
June is LGBT Pride month, how about LGBT themed movies on TCM this month

REALLY?! Then how about that role of his in NORTH BY NORTHWEST, and where he plays James Mason's henchman???
Oh, wait. That was Martin Landau, wasn't it. Never mind.
Ya know, I always DID get Landau and Ireland mixed-up for some reason!
(...btw, I'll bet you knew that Landau was once married to that VERY sexy Barbara Bain who coincidentally ALSO had kind of a sexy overbite TOO, didn't ya?!) LOL
