I had NO idea you were so literal, VX!
(...figuratively speakin', that is!)
-
HEY now, Charlotte! Are you tryin' to talk like I've VERY recently heard how "those people" talk in Michigan???
(...specifically the Ann Arbor area!)
-
Pssst...hey VX! Have I ever told ya I do a pretty mean Henry Fonda impression?
Uh huh, REALLY!
Whenever I do his Tom Joad soliloquy there, my friends stop and say..."Who's THAT supposed to be?" and/or "I'll bet that cop had good reason to beat up whoever the heck you're talkin' about there!"
(...as you can probably tell, I don't hang with a whole lot o' classic movie fans!)
-
:^0
"Camouflage" ya say, huh VX???
Well, you DO know, don't ya, that that there word is(OH MY GOD!) French?!
And you know how "THOSE people" are, DON'T CHA???!!!
:^0

LOL!!!
Sprocket, sometimes your sardonic humor just cracks me up BIG-TIME!!! :^0
(...btw, I sure hope that there's supposed to be that hyphen between the words "big" and "time" there, 'cause if there AIN'T..err..I mean, if there isn't, YOU'LL sure let me know!...OR, should THAT have been, "SURELY let me know"?...yeah, I'm not all that bad with all this "sardonic" crap MYSELF, am I?!) :^0
-
Now VX! How in Heaven's name would you know THAT??? ?:|
Saaaaay, YOU wouldn't happen to actually KNOW any of "those people" now WOULD YOU??? :0
:^0
(...and with THAT one VX, I THINK we've just lost "The Heartland" audience!...WELL, so much for OUR ratings here, EH?!)
:^0 :^0 :^0
-
Yeah, gotta agree with ya HERE, Jake. Tommy WAS really good playin' that hard-nosed S.O.B., alright!
-
Ummmmm...before we turn this further into the next edition of "America's Culture Wars" on the (take your pick) ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX Network here gomarx, I'd like to remind you that, yeah SURPRISING, there are Liberals who are, yeah SURPRISINGLY, people of faith.
(...though I have a feelin' a certain member of TCM.com who's maybe a little too proud of livin' "in the Heartland" may not think..err..BELIEVE so!) :^0
-
:^0
Yeah, but don't forget phroso, he'd THEN immediately give ya that little "ha, ha,ha" laugh of his right after!
(...well, at least according to Frank Gorshin, anyway!)
-
Don't worry here folks. I'm sure mongo will figure out the problem here and soon fix it.
Well, I certainly hope so anyway, 'cause the pictures which earlier WERE workin' today included that one of Lucille Bremer of whom I was about to suggest looks a lot like Bette Davis.
(...but then again you folks know me by now, don't ya?!...everybody reminds me of somebody else and that's why I've been dominating that "lookalike" thread since I've signed on around here!)
-
LOL!!! Well, c'mon now Charlotte! You HAD to know THAT was comin' here, didn't ya?! :^0
Yeah wouldbe, like Jake here said, you stick to your guns here, lady! Don't try to see or reach any common ground here at all with "those people" who may not believe in quite the same things that you might! Nope! You know how "those people" are who don't necessarily believe in miracles, or who think IF miracles in fact DO happen, that "those people" in Hollywood could make an uplifting movie nowadays which might or might not feature such a phenomenon!
(...actually wouldbe, I "believe" your quote of Francis of Assisi shows what a wise man he indeed was, and if you DO live your life by his thought there, it shows what a wise lady you are too!)
-
Yeah, I remember that series, Fred. Pretty good show, as I recall.
(...hmmmm...Robert Forster..maybe he ought'a be mentioned in that "Who's Cool" thread goin' on now, eh?!)
-
Oooh! Oooh! WAIT a minute here folks. I've GOT IT!!!
Norm Crosby OR Yogi Berra!
(...I'd have included Chico Marx, but he's dead ya know!)
-
As Rod Serling used to say..."Submitted for your approval"...one Cate Blanchett.
-
Yeah, Sam Levene is a good pick here, except as you noted, he played a reasonably competent cop in the "Thin Man" films who recognized the value of Nick's help in solving cases.
I've also always thought he was especially good(and competent) in *The Killers* as the retired cop and friend of Burt Lancaster's character of Swede.
-
Good response there, Charlotte. Yep, there's still the occasional uplifting tale coming out of Tinseltown alright.

> {font:Times New Roman} {font}{color:black}Alexander Scourby? Thank you, Drago. Since you've broken the ice, there's Edward Herrmann and Monte Markham who seem to have taken his place in modern times. As he seems to really love American history there's also Sam Elliott.

Yep, Herrmann and Markham are also great voiceover artists, wouldbe. Good suggestions. Another one who in the last few decades can be heard doing a lot of very good work in this regard is actor Peter Coyote.
And re Paul Frees. If you'll pause the linked YouTube video below of this trailer for *The Thing* at the 00:46 mark, Paul Frees is the gentleman third from the left in this scene. And coincidentally, another famous annoucer standing second from the left and next to Frees is Groucho's own "You Bet Your Life" announcer, George Fenneman, early in his career, also.
And, I've also found the following at the YouTube site which might jog your memory about Paul Frees...
Cheers!
-
...and who reminds me of his American counterpart in many a '30s and '40s detective movie...James Gleason.
-
Ooooh, now THAT'S a good one, Mr.R!!!
(...I'll second that nomination, sir)
-
My pick: The seemingly oft-forgotten, primarily NY stage and early television actor, and one of the great film and TV voiceover narrators ever...Alexander Scourby.
Or maybe, Paul Frees, if anyone here remembers that distinctive voice. Anyone who's ever ridden one of the "ghost buggies" through Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, or who's REALLY into Howard Hawk's *The Thing, from another world* knows of whom I'm talkin' about here.
But NOW, if ya'd like to play around a little bit with this thing here, might I suggest either Chistopher Walken, or maybe Bill Shatner!!!
(...I mean, can't you just imagine listenin' to either of those two guys do voiceovers and tryin' not to visualize 'em bein' in front of that microphone while doin' it???)
-
Okay folks, tell me...doesn't little Lee Aaker here from of the '50s TV series, "The Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin"...
...look like he could've done a pretty good little Jimmy Cagney impression???
-
Yep AllDay, that was the movie which made Bogie a star. He was considered pretty much a supporting actor until this film hit the theaters.

Now Sepia ol' buddy! I'm pretty sure that Ed Wood HAD him do THAT on purpose!
Uh huh. Ya see, that cop doin' was just ONE of the subtle things in that movie which later on in the saga supports and reinforces the basic idea which Eros("so excellently" played by Dudley Manlove here) says about us humans in general, and NOT just cops...

LOL!
Yeah, I know it wasn't you, MissW. I was just hopin' that our friend willbefree might see that! :^0

"Frollo"???!!! I didn't know there were Hobbits in 15th Century France!!!
(...sorry cee, couldn't resist)
Actually, when this thread started, I had also thought of Hardwicke in that film but didn't mention it. Good suggestion. That dude was a mean one, alright!
