"Well that's 'cause sometimes I just don't know my own strength!"

Maybe, but somehow I've always felt a liitle more sorry for Moose and how he ends up when Muzuki played him than I do when O'Halloran played him.

I've always liked chicks with bangs. (...just sayin')

True, but this is how it is along the Malibu colony and where the rich can just walk out their back doors and onto the sands of the beach, ya know. (...and is pretty much also this way along any beach city in L.A. County)

Steve McQueen’s $12 Million Malibu Beach House is Up For Sale If you’re going to talk “cool,” even today, decades after his untimely death, you have to bring Steve McQueen into the discussion. Lately, McQueen has been popping up more and more as items that once belonged to the actor have been going on sale or have been inspiring new products. In addition to his own sense of style, McQueen also had an impressive real estate portfolio, and one item from that list that is now up for sale is McQueen’s Malibu Beachhouse. Steve McQueen’s $12 Million Malibu Beach House is Up For Sale | Man of Many (...I know any car or motorcycle he ever owned will usually go for ten times their normal value when on auction, but I wonder if this house's value might also be heighten a bit too because of its association with him?)

It's Hyman Katz whose only acting credit ever was in this one Bonnaza episode about a time traveling city slicker from the 1960s. (...actually, yes, I'd say it's David Dortort)

Thanks for the assist here, Moe. Somehow I didn't run across these cars in the IMDb's car website. And now for a question about the little custom "blue dot" touch applied to the Sin City Nomad's taillight here. Do you have any idea how those little blue dot inserts became such a phenomenon among gearheads who were/are into cars primarily made during the '50s? (...'cause I've never been able to figure this out)

Nice lookin' I guess, but ya know here Moe, THE nicest lookin' station wagons of all time were the 1955-57 Chevy Nomads... (...and btw slayton...sorry, but surprisingly the IMCDB website shows absolutely none of these cars ever being in a movie...kind'a shocking, wouldn't ya say?)

So James. Are you saying big Mike Mazurki here was "one-dimensional" as Moose in the '44 version? (...a bit confused here with the last couple of postings in this baby)

Yeah Thompson, I really get you here, dude. (...and now stop bogartin' that joint and pass it over here again)

Thanks, sewhite! Glad to see at least someone did, anyway. (...was pretty "meta" on my part here though, wasn't it)

Yeah, don't ya just love the subtle little messages Madison Ave has always used to sell product?! (...some things never change, huh)

Yep, looking at her IMDb filmography right now, her very first film credit was in 1941's Andy Hardy's Private Secretary. And re not liking that genre of music...this has reminded me of all the times in the past people on these boards have mentioned their dislike of listening to some of the male actors who also sang in a tenor vocal range in their pictures and such as Dick Powell during the early part of his career, and Dennis Morgan. But in my case once again, I've never minded listening to either of them at all, and especially have always liked it whenever I see Dennis Morgan break into his Irish tenor singing voice during one of his old movies. (...and in a way, I've always considered this sort of thing a "lost art", and although the general consenus around here seems to be that this "lost art" is way too "old hat" for their tastes)

Here it is...

So, I take it you're not a big fan coloratura sopranos, eh Mr. G?! Or, might it be that you just don't think she sings all that well? (...in my case, I have to admit that Miss Grayson sometimes impresses me with her singing voice, and even though in most cases I'll take listening to almost any popular music songstress who can carry a tune over her operatic one)

Ah yes, THERE'S that bright, beautiful and sexy (and slightly crooked) little smile of Alicia's! (...so, I take it we're finally done talkin' Sociology here, gentlemen???)

Wait! Are we sure this isn't Don Ameche? Or maybe even Xavier Cugat??? Well, it certainly ISN'T Brian Aherne here, anyway! (...and now it was MY turn to "couldn't resist" here)

Thanks for posting this, Sukhov! Have always liked Hudsons, and so of course always thought that when Disney included a cartoon version of one voiced by Paul Newman in their Cars movie, that that was especially cool. (...btw, and another reason I thank you here for posting this was that I was previously unaware that Hudson even made this Pacemaker model, and so after checking out this model's existence on the internet, I found it was a shorten version of their better known Hornet model which actually redated the Hornet by a year, and so I've learned something today)

Soooo, like I WAS sayin' here about lovely Alicia's sexy little crooked smile... (...oh...wait...wrong thread...HINT...HINT!!!)

Oh, I would think most mothers would like Alicia. She's always come across to me as the nice wholesome sort, and mother do tend to like that sort, ya know. "Mothers are like that...yeah, they are!" (...you remember that line from that early-'60s Bayer aspirin for children commercial, I presume)

Funny, but the other day while reading fellow board member Leighcat's story about the interaction they once had with Ben Mankiewicz at the music and video store they said they once worked at and which was about to close its doors for good at the time, if this might have been at the Tower Records shown in this film. (...they didn't say)

Although both the following films deal with the subject of crime (well, with a title like "Quicksand", you sure wouldn't expect them to be comedies, now would ya?!) their storylines couldn't be more different: ...is a 1950 film noir set in L.A. that stars Mickey Rooney as a garage machanic who descends into a life of crime. ...is a 2003 neo-noir set in various international locations that stars Michael Keaton as a NYC-based bank fraud investgator first sent to Monaco to check up on the suspicious financial dealings of a movie production. However, as he delves deeper into the case, he soon finds himself being framed for murder and money laundering by the Russian Mob.

Uh-huh, and thus perhaps offering up a good argument that there might be SOME religious fanatics/anti-modernists/regressive SOBs in this world that have at least ONE positive or redeeming trait to their character. (...but like I was sayin' about Alicia here...hint, hint...again...)

Yeah, and besides, at least the Taliban has never ripped off a song by Rick James, right?! (...well, as far as I know, anyway)

And yes, Aussies do drive on the wrong side of the road and not the right (and as in both the definition of the word "correct" and in the context of "direction") side of the road as we good red-blooded Americans and most all of the countries of the world do. (...it's sort of the very same carryover kind'a thing they also do with that superfluous letter 'u' they still needlessly spell certain words with that they inherited from, as they call 'em down there, the "pommies")
