And, Fredric March's name is misspelled as "Frederic" in the closing credits of The Best Years of Our Lives. (...in fact, I've often seen it misspelled in this way on these very boards when his name is mentioned)

Well, I suppose I do have to admit that after hearing Fred MacMurray was a tightwad and a terrible tipper, I've never been able to fully appreciate any of those Disney flicks he played such a nice guy in, since. (...actors and their politics or their "life style"?...don't give a damn...BUT be a lousy tipper and NOW you've got my ire up here, dude...HATE lousy tippers!!!)

You forgot one here, Kikiki...

Because hating "spunk" had already been taken...

I think Merle Oberon (in Hotel 1967) looks rather fetching here...

BUT speakin' of Natalie Schafer... Yeah CG, I like your idea here. (...you can thank me later for gettin' this baby back on track)

Yeah, well, you guys DO know that the BEST Supporting Actor Oscar winners could do one-arm push-ups, don't ya?! Uh-huh, like THIS guy here... (...and somethin' I'll bet Thomas Mitchell could NEVER do!)

Wait now, James! As I understand it, YOU are half-Japanese, NOT half-Chinese, RIGHT?! And so now I must question YOUR right to say or feel this way! (...tell ya what...seein' as how I'll once again be back in SoCal this coming weekend for that British motorcycle rally I attend every year, meet me Saturday at about 1pm at Old Town Torrance's Red Car Brewery & Restaurant and so I can present further arguments to you in person as to the errors of your thinking here)

Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry, I guess I forgot about the plight of the poor mermaids out there, didn't I Lorna. (...guess I still have a ways to go before I can proudly claim to be fully woke, huh)

Well, it's about time! As a nearly woke person, I say this outrageous example of "cultural appropriation"-- remember here, Sid Grauman nor ANYONE he commissioned at the architectual firm of Meyer & Holler that designed it, had even an OUNCE of Asian let alone CHINESE blood coursing through his veins -- should have been torn down YEARS ago!!! Uh-huh, and so I say they build the world's largest Starbucks coffee house there instead. (...there can never be too many of those, ya know)

You've missed listing one of my favorites of Balsam's roles, CG: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three 1974 (...gesundheit)

Blue-eyed Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus Christ here is now asking... "Whaddaya mean by this?"

Oh yes, Mr.G. There certainly are. (...and it seems especially so and ironically or coincidentally in THIS case, movies made starting around 1981...and directed by that ripoff artist Brian DePalma)

Re the ending of Blow Out... This was the second time I watched this film, the first time being when it was first released, and all I can say is, well, how much did DePalma want me to suspend my level of disbelief in this movie? I mean REALLY?! Travolta drives his car at high speed through hundreds of people in that parade and somehow doesn't hit anyone, but THEN after he crashes into that store's display window, all they do is call for an ambulance to take him away to the hospital and there's not ONE cop who was chasing after him while he was doing this? Or worse STILL, after endangering all those people in that parade, no one else thinks to call for the cops to take his sorry butt to jail. But THEN, while Travolta is in that ambulance with the head injury, he suddenly awakens and bolts from it in efforts to save Nancy Allen's life??? Nope, after watching THAT all unfold again last night, I could NOT believe Mario Cantone AND Ben actually RAVED about this stupid flick!!! (...as you can maybe tell, I came away thinking this movie wasn't very good the FIRST time I watched it 40 years ago, and after watching it again last night, my opinion of it and ESPECIALLY its ending remains pretty darn low)

Now HERE'S ya a couple of New York City boys (yeah, like that old Pace Picante sauce commercial went..."NEW YORK CITY???!!!" ) who JUST don't somehow look quite right wearin' coyboy hats... (...well, at least Bogie here isn't sportin' that gawdawful mustache that he had in Virginia City anyway)

Yes, in the first couple of films, Dr. No and Goldfinger, Connery is seen wearing a Homburg style hat in a number of scenes.

Lemme guess here. You'd ride your Schwinn Stingray over to his shop every so often to check out his latest creations, right?!

She's probably in the 4th of July parade scene. As you probably know Lily, Prescott is home of the country's oldest rodeo which takes place during that holiday. Yep, it's a quaint little town, alright. It was also where my wife and I first retired to after working at LAX for many years. Lived in Prescott for two years before moving here to Sedona about ten years ago now.

Wow! Cool. So, you lived pretty close to Barris' shop there, eh NS?

And filmed in Prescott (pronounced "PRESS-ket" by the locals...pronounce it "Press-SCOTT" and the locals know you aren't one) Arizona. Btw, another movie of some repute filmed there would be director Sam Peckinpah's Junior Bonner starring Steve McQueen.

Ah yes! The 1954 Lincoln Futura concept car. And later on to be garaged in Bruce Wayne's bat cave. (...well, after custon car builder George Barris applied some changes to it anyway)

Tony Randall and the 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster he drives in the movie Pillow Talk... (...cars don't come any nicer than this one)

And which now brings to mind one of Johnny Carson's Carnac The Magnificent lines: "Pickeled herring...Dr. Christain Barnard...Doris Day." "Name a sturgeon, a surgeon, and a virgin."

Watched this film twice and back when it seemed to be a staple on HBO (I think it was) in the mid-2000s. The scene in which they reenact James Dean's death while he was driving his nearly purchased Porsche 550 Spyder was especially memorable for me, and considering that I had recently purchased a replica of that particular model of car. I also remember that of the three attractive actresses who co-starred in it...Holly Hunter, Rosanna Arquette and Deborah Kara Unger...it was the latter who I found I just could not keep my eyes off of... (...it's a strange film indeed, and one that one definitely must be in the right frame of mind in order to appreciate in any manner at all)

And here I would've thought TCM inviting Antonia Carlotta over to Atlanta so she could've co-hosted the evening with Ben would have been a natural. (...I've said the following before around here ya know, folks...TCM should give this bright, articulate and attractive young lady some on-air exposure)
