(and for the record, I do find Clapton to be somewhat boring since he plays mostly just the blues and the blues is generally boring).
So, I take it you didn't watch that documentary on Buddy Guy last night on PBS' American Masters series, eh James?
(...THAT "wasn't so boring", anyway...ahem...well, I liked it, anyway)

I love the accent. As someone married to an English girl, i can vouch that it's a good thing when a man likes the sound of his wife's voice.
Yes, and also contributing far less to the inevitable "Husband's Selective Hearing Loss Syndrome" as the years roll by too, I would suppose.

Oh the shame of it! I had a momentary lapse and forgot that the first gen 'vette appeared in 1953, not 1963, thus throwing my calculation off by a gen. 3rd gen it is, but mine is still a supercharged 2003 50th anniversary 5th gen - at least, I think it is .... 🙄

Find a C-5 in some movie by going here:

Then post a pic of that one in slayton's thread:
That's a nice car! - Page 42 - General Discussions - TCM Message Boards
And also one of yours.

Yes, that is the best part of what most film scholars consider to be the worst film ever made, although I personally think
"The Room" is even more deserving of that honor.
4 minutes ago, JonnyNoir said:Also don't miss that other regular contender for worst ever, "Amazon Women on the Moon".
Never watched The Creeping Terror I take it, eh Jonny???
(...makes either one of these films look like Citizen Kane in comparison)

So there was a 1978 film starring Mark Hamill (yeah, the Star Wars guy) called "Corvette Summer" which featured a tricked out 1973 second generation Corvette Stingray coupe (converted to right hand drive to Mark could hang out the passenger side window). Unfortunately, mine is a 2003 5th gen model, so I guess it won't qualify. ☹️
I'm SHOCKED that a Corvette owner and apparent aficionado such as yourself here Jonny would call a 1973 Corvette a "second generation" model, as the C-3's were introduced into the market in 1968.
(...saaay, you wouldn't be a Libra, would YOU?...they're prone to make mistakes like this, ya know)

Does that prohibition extend to Chevy Corvette's too? 🤥🙄
Nope, Corvettes are okay to mention in it, but slayton prefers that when they are, and like all the submissions into his thread, that the make and model of the car have been seen in a movie somewhere along the way.

Maybe it's Chaplin, maybe not. One would reckon he'd be drawn too with his signature derby and cane. And ED...
Which do you reckon is Lloyd?

I also think that that's supposed to be Harold Lloyd, and at the 8 o'clock position of that circle, Sepia.

Gone With the Wind was last shown on TCM on Monday, July 12 as part of a tribute to composer Max Steiner, and the evening was hosted by Dave Karger, not Alicia Malone.
The previous showing of GWTW was on Thursday, March 4 as part of the ‘Reframed’ series, where TCM had multiple hosts discussing what are now considered to be problematic themes in classic films. However, I don’t think homosexuality was discussed as a theme of Gone With the Wind. There was a film shown later that evening where homosexuality was discussed, that being Hitchcock’s Rope (1948). So if I had to guess, I suspect the original poster is confusing the discussion of the two films. The possibility of homosexual undertones in Rope is a topic that has been discussed by other film reviewers long before TCM presented it, so this was not a case of Alicia Malone coming up with something out of the blue.
Actually, and unless I might be wrong here, I THINK I recall one of the hosts suggesting that there might have been a hot and heavy thing going on for years between Mammy and Prissy which was never really explored in this film to any great degree. AND, due of course to this movie being made in 1939 and when such things could only be vaguely alluded to.
(...but like I said, I could be wrong here...and most likely am)

Sun and Moon in Libra will tend to effect people that way.
So then does this mean Ava Gardner, Hedy Lamarr, Natalie Wood AND every OTHER old movie actress who I always thought was hot as hell all have THEIR "Sun and Moon in Libra" TOO, Bronxie???

"Ah, zo Philip, I zee after all zees years you apparently still haven't gotten past zees obsessions of yours about Miss Malone, und especially ven she zez zometink about zex, eh?! Vell, I zink your actions vere you zay you change za channel venever she comez on your TV iz a good zing und you zould stick to doing zis."
(...Siggy up there always gives people good advice ya know Phil, and especially in THIS case here and because of the FACT that NOBODY with ANY authority to hire and fire the people employed at TCM ever reads nor really gives a DAMN about what ANYONE around here ever posts at this here website of theirs, THAT'S why...oh wait, UNLESS of course someone uses what they might consider "questionable language" in some post and THEN you're likely to see some action taken and even though I doubt the people in charge of doing THIS have any say in the employment practices at TCM...but other than THAT here dude, well, like Siggy said up there, just keep changin' the ol' channel the next time you see Alicia appear on your TV und zo, ahem, I mean AND SO to avoid these sorts of little mental irritants from continuing to keep messin' with your head too much)

I can recall the time some kids were making a commotion of some kind outside our home and Mom opened the door to see what was happening. I don't recall any details except that one or two of them must have mouthed off to her. She responded, before shutting the door on them, by yelling, "Ah, your mother wears army boots!" They were stunned into silence, undoubtedly uncertain of what she meant. There were probably a lot of quizzical expressions on their faces. There's an insult tucked away in there somewhere but what is it exactly?
Well, I just looked the expression up on the internet now and read that during WW2 prostitutes following troops around apparently wore combat boots. Therefore the expression is a way of calling someone's mother a hooker. I can't imagine, though, that Mom had a clue what the expression meant when she used it on those kids. She probably had enjoyed the sound of it and it just popped out of her mouth. I still think it's a pretty funny way of telling someone off, especially if, as would be the case with the vast majority of people, they have no idea what the heck it means.
Back in the deep recesses of my mind, I think I recall that very line also once being said by Bugs Bunny to another character who had bugged him.
(...btw, I've never before heard this particular etymology ascribed to that expression, but I suppose it does kind'a make sense...maybe)

Because Episcopalians, unlike some Southern denominations, were not opposed to drinking alcohol (almost as great a sin as dancing, according to some fundamentalists), they were known as "Whiskeypalians."
How's that old joke go again? Oh yeah:
"Jews don't acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Protestants don't acknowledge the Pope as the leader of Christianity. AND, Baptists don't acknowledge another Baptist inside a liquor store."
(...good one, ain't it)

My mother would occasionally say to me 'You'd try the patience of a saint,' and she wasn't even
Catholic. Later that got me to wondering if saints had differing amounts of patience. I was born
in the state of New Jersey and whatever one may think personally, big hair is no sin.
Uh-huh, and then there was MY mother's favorite "wet blanket" response to me:
"Yeah yeah, very funny. You should be on the stage. There's one leaving at 5 o'clock. Don't miss it."
(...we weren't a very religious family, you see)

I can only make out Laurel and Hardy(of course) and the Marx Bros. Jimmy Durante, Eddie Cantor but others there are hard to make out, and not sure who the cowboy is. Maybe Mix or Rogers?(Buddy, that is)

Yep Sepia, I'm pretty sure the guy with the cowboy hat was supposed to be Tom Mix.
(...and I'm also pretty sure the guy at 9 O'Clock in that circle was supposed to be Chaplin)

She (Ann-Margret) is also in Grumpier Old Men (I think). Do you remember when she fell off the stage?
I do, and I also remember in 2000 assisting her deplane off a Northwest Airlines flight into LAX along with her husband Roger Smith and right after she had had a pretty bad spill in Minnesota off her motorcycle. She had just recently suffered three broken ribs and a fractured shoulder, but still was very pleasant to interact with that day.
(...I remember actually kidding her by telling her that if perhaps she had been riding a better handling Triumph motorcycle instead of a Harley, maybe this wouldn't have happened to her...she got a kick out of that...nice lady who I had known had been a fellow avid motorcyclist for years)
