Well finance, I gotta say skimpole will get no argument comin' from ME here anyway regarding Harold Russell's performance in *The Best Years of Our Lives.*
Nope. 'Cause I've always thought that that was...ahem...hands down the best performance HE ever gave on screen!
(...geesh...did I really just say that? :0 ...sorry...yep, nothin' is sacred in MY book, huh!)
-
:^0
Yep C.B, you're sure right, AND it appears you're ALSO one of the few of us around who knows that all this immorality began with the fluoridation of the water supply TOO!!!
(...btw, you wouldn't happen to have those launch codes handy, would ya???)
-
What a great picture, Joe! B-)
(...yep, word was Mrs. Stewart raised a fine young man there, alright!)
-
Nope, haven't seen the photo you're takin' about here wouldbe, but yeah, Nolte sure has put some hard miles on his odometer since his star-making turn in that very well done and ratings winner of a miniseries, alright!
And yep, Billy Crystal's "I can tell what people are thinking by looking into their eyes" shtick sure appeared to be right on the mark when he did Nick "thinking" only in grunts! :^0

Oh, yes it WAS, VX! It was "The People", alright!
POD PEOPLE!!!!
(...with bellbottom pants, wide lapels AND platform shoes!!!)

LOL! Couldn't agree with ya more, dark! I too could never quite figure out the attraction of Costner's "appeal".
Nope. While he seems a nice enough guy and I suppose isn't "bad" lookin' at all, I always found his voice especially was..well..rather BOR-ing!
(...though like I was sayin', he'd probably make a nice enough neighbor, anyway)

> {quote:title=Hibi wrote:}{quote}.......She's still a good looking woman, but who would want to hire this nutcase?
Oh, I don't know about THAT, Hibi!
Ya see, if I can ever find the financing for a picture deal I've been planning for some time now to push to Spielberg, I'm thinkin' Sean here would probably fit in pretty darn nicely with those OTHER actors I'm gonna try and get, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and Nick Nolte, for my script of *Four Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest !*
(...now can't you just envision Sean as "Nurse Wrenchit"???)
-
Excellent post here, fx! I think you're pretty much right on the mark on every one of your points.
-
Oh, I know what you were sayin' there, Mark. And, you said it very well, I might add.
(...but c'mon here dude, couldn't ya see that I was just usin' you and ham to take a shot at and make fun of all these lousy freakin' @!#$^^$#@! television political advertisements X-( that we're all instore for the next 8 to 9 months on every freakin' television channel EXCEPT..thank you Mr. Turner..our beloved TCM???)

Geesh Fred! And you call yourself a proud American???
THIS is what Meryl looks like here, dude!....

Oh, and one more thing here...
Unfortunately this whole "optical illusion" thing doesn't translate over very well to many of the male movie stars.
Uh huh, 'cause ya see, unless most of the women movie stars were walkin' around on 8 inch high heels, almost all of the big name male stars looked like they were just a little taller than Billy Barty!
(...which I thought was pretty funny when that guy from New Zealand who won in one of the "lesser" categories mentioned this very thing during his acceptance speech)
-
Now, c'mon Monty! Why single out JLo here, dude?! They were ALL "optical illusions" there last night.
What with all the high-priced makeup and fancy clothes, NOT to mention some of the surgical "lift 'n tucks" many of 'em were sportin'...well...like I was sayin' here, there were SOOOO many freakin' "optical illusions" goin' at the Hollywood and Highland Center last night that they could've moved that dog and pony show to the Santa Monica Pier Amusement Park and the sucker would've fit RIGHT IN there next to the "Hall of Mirrors"!!!
(...I mean, have you ever seen pictures of all the so-called "glamorous female movie stars" withOUT makeup on?....ooooh, now THERE'S ya some REAL eye-openers, dude!)
-
Yep Hibi. Did ya see my comment about her in JonnyGeetar's "Fashion Gestapo" thread here?...
http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=163776&tstart=0
Yep, she's still a "trainwreck" alright.
(...which word is James Woods could give ya chapter and verse about!)
-
Say folks! How about the dress that Sean Young (who's evidently STILL crazy as a freakin' loon at age 52, seein' as how she was reportedly booked for misdemeanor battery at one of the post-Oscar parties) here is wearin'???
(...btw, am I "crazy as a freakin' loon" here TOO, or is there a resemblence between the older still crazy as a freakin' loon Sean Young here and that of the late and classy and as far as I ever knew NOT crazy as a freakin' loon Kitty Carlisle???...please only answer the second part of that question, if you would)
-
Yep, it was a funny line, MissW. But, what made it funny was that his "apology" was...."And if I've left anyone out, you know who you are!"
-
Just one more observation of my own here...
What was with Angelina's "Captain Morgan" pose on stage last night?
(...are we soon gonna see HER in those lame commercials for that lousy tastin' crap now TOO???)

I think your "channeling his inner Bob Hope" observation is a good one, Iz. However, as I'm sure you realize, the reason it's a good one is that like Hope, who towards the later half of his career wasn't considered "edgy" anymore, Billy is now getting up there in age now too, and thus while his delivery is still first-rate(like Hope's was even in his later years), his choice of material is going to be geared more toward the "tried and true" and more respectful toward the proceedings.
Yep, I kind of had that same feeling myself while watchin' the show last night.
-
Oh, and btw Iz, I thought Billy did pretty darn well tonight. Yep, I thought he had some good lines. And so, I'm not so sure one could rightly say "Ellen was funnier than him" in those commercials of hers.
(...ya know, maybe it's just a shame that Chistopher Plummer didn't walk up to podium, hit the floor and start doin' one-arm pushups TOO, eh?!)
-
Yeah, I thought those commercials were fairly well done.
BUT, don't forget Iz ol' buddy...Ellen IS one of "Those People", remember???!!!
:^0
(...hey, just sayin' it like Jake might say "Those People" in his "The Heartland" might put it, ya know!)
-
Hey mark, what say we give our buddy ham here some slack, OKAY dude???
I mean, there ALWAYS the possiblilty that ham is just practicin' his trade here, ya know!
Uh huh! Maybe he's one of those guys all the candidates now use to write those "commercials" that kinda sorta, let's say, "stretch the truth a bit" that we'll all soon be inundated with on our TV sets this year?!
(...yep...ever think o' THAT???)
:^0
-
Okay, now, did I miss somethin' in the "In Memoriam" segment, or did they forget to show and mention one Mr. Harry Morgan who died just a few months ago???
(...what?!...did "somebody" forget that Harry did a whole heck of a lot o' MOVIES too, and wasn't just a TV actor?...well, maybe "somebody" has never watched "The Ox-Bow Incident" or any of the many other MOVIES Harry was in, eh?!)

Well, look at it THIS way then, Jake...y'all "good ol' folks" there in "The Heartland" batted a pretty darn respectable .500 tonight.
Uh huh, ya see, while J.C. Penny might have dinged one past y'all's infield there by keepin' Ellen in the lineup, which would AT FIRST make y'all there in "The Heartland" O-for-1 tonight, AT LEAST that Clooney guy with all those "Left Field" ideas o' his struck out tonight, RIGHT?!
And thus, ya see, ya'lls there ended up goin' 1-for-2 tonight against "those people" on that
"other team", makin' y'all's "team record" there in "The Heartland" that there .500 I was talkin' about above here!
(...btw, thanks for settin' this all up AGAIN for me 'round here with your earlier "Ellen Degeneres/George Clooney" "big fat pitches right across the ol' plate" comments...I always surely enjoy sittin' on THOSE kinda slow hangin' curve balls that ya's "country pitchers" toss my way and that I can knock outta the ol' ballpark!)

Yeah, a little I suppose, Iz. However, I've always thought Tom Hanks kind of resembled Holden quite a bit, also.
Sean Young in the News Again.

Actually, I must slightly disagree with ya here, MissW.
Ya see, I think Sean Young is still, at age 52, a very pretty woman...physically. However, IF the old adage (and one of my dear departed father's favorites) of "Beauty is, as beauty does" is still valid in today's world, then it appears that Ms. Young never was, isn't presently, nor ever will be anywhere nearly as "beautiful" as this lady presently is who's just turned 90 years old....
