I dunno, dpompper, my sister-in-law is diabetic, and makes the best pastries you ever ate! SHE never eats them, however... Sepiatone

Burstyn's reaction looked to me as if she felt that even if SHE didn't win, Jackson's getting it was a surprise. I didn't see the movie Jackson got the Oscar for. In fact, the ONLY movie she made I saw all the way through was *Mary Queen of Scotts* . Truth is, I never liked the way she portrayed her characters. Usually on the snobby side. Sepiatone

Don't they ALL, Karloffan? And Dargo, better to look like JAMES Coburn than CHARLES. Sepiatone

That's PARLEY BAER, the OTHER mayor of Mayberry! Sepiatone

LOL!

This sort of thing has happened before. Trouble is, news editors sometimes misread the interests of the American public, or try to cater to what THEY think would interest them more. One similar incident I recall... On the same weekend Princess Diana died in a car crash, the deaths of both Mother Teresa and Sir George Solti happened. Guess who got almost all of the coverage? Cripes, most people didn't realize for two or more YEARS that Mother Teresa had passed! Anyway, I liked Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan as much as the British seem to love (NOT) Margaret Thatcher. However, when either of THEM died, my first thoughts were of their loved ones and friends and an appreciation of their grief. It seems I had mistakenly thought the British had CLASS. Sepiatone

If you drew Drew's dew as Drew would do, would you goo as Drew would goo after you drew Drew's dew? Sepiatonetwister

If you're still talking about *Cover Girl* , the movie IS in color! Sepiatone

Dargo, wasn't the alternate title actually *Twelve O'Clock Highball* ? Sepiatone

If you correctly recall, Skip Young was first David Nelson's college buddy, THEN Ricky's. For all we know, Wally's still attending classes! Sepiatone

Not being Catholic, I was always under the impression that it was the divorce that was cause for excommunication. But you claim it to be the remarriage. Interesting. In any case, my wife couldn't have cared less. Her first husband turned out to be a mental and physical abusive child molester, and it didn't matter to her what the Church thought, she got out of there! And nobody ever came forward to answer GEORGE CARLIN'S famous question: Since the Catholic church officially dismissed the rule about not eating meat on Friday, did they make it RETROACTIVE? Or are there still guys doing time in hell on a meat rap? dpompper, KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN, back in the early '70's, did an LP called *Hymnen* , which dissected and reconstructed various national anthems from around the world with electronic devices and "sampled" bits of pre-recorded material. It's very unique and "avant-garde" listening. Sepiatone

Sorry. WHO? Sepiatone

OK, not exactly "classic" or "golden age" actors... But a few people have told me I sort of resemble CHEVY CHASE. With a beard. I really don't see it, and neither does my wife. But what I thought was funny, was when I was doing wedding photography, a wedding guest walked up and told me the same thing. What the funny part was, that when I turned to look at him, HE looked just like BILL MURRAY did during his SNL-moustache phase! Will never forget it! Sepiatone

"Boomers" around MY age when in Junior High( what we all used to call Middle School back then, kiddies) used to get into those silly choice discussions. You know, like the "Ginger or Mary Ann?" arguements. THIS one was, "Annette or Darlene?" More were on the ANNETTE side. Sepiatone

You'd have thought some of that drier humor might have been injected into *Get Smart* through the efforts of BUCK HENRY, but it didn't seem to work out that way. Was that part of their( Brooks and Henry's) rift? Sepiatone

James is right, but he's also familiar with the "too many repeats" gripe here in these forums. The complaint comes up often. Hope you finally get to seeing *Cover Girl .* I watched it Sunday and thought it was an OK movie. Of course, it's not hard to watch Rita Hayworth in glorious color. Sepiatone

Just one, huh? Can't do it. List is too long with too many tying for first place. Many mentioned here before me. Sepiatone

I can only think of THREE. And movielover, that "belt under the armpits" comment reminded me of something an oldster told me years ago... "I'm at the age where my KNEES buckle easier than my BELT!" Sepiatone

I'm still trying to figure out what showing the wrong version of a movie has to do with producers being on dope. Or if the OP was implying the government had something to do with the mix-up. Or how TCM showing the "wrong" version on TV on late Sunday night affects movie ticket prices? Or how producers drug habits affect them. Or anything ELSE about the OP, for that matter... Sepiatone

So THAT'S who they were talking about on the radio last night! Couldn't hear clearly because the car behind me thought I wanted to hear his "rap" crap as much as he did! Bummer. Ms. Funicello probably kicked more young men's hormones into high gear than anyone else. This is not being disrespectful. Seeing her over the years on some talk shows and reading interviews, she seemed to be very grounded and likeable, with absolutely NO sense of ego. Rest in peace, Annette. You've earned it. Sepiatone

It was my understanding the main reason Tracy didn't divorce to be with Kate was becaue he was Catholic, and felt he couldn't . Which is just as dumb of an excuse, if you ask me. Sepiatone

A few... I already mentioned the girl a buddy married( eventually) who was the spitting image( strange phrase. Never ONCE saw her actually spit ) of VIRGINIA MAYO. My one buddy's Grandpa looked just like BURT MUSTIN. My older daughter's fourth grade teacher looked like JOHN GEILGUD. In DRAG! :0 A good friend of mine at the Cadillac plant I worked at could have doubled as a young REX INGRAM. And also while not a "classic movie" actor, the buddy who was married to the VIRGINIA MAYO double was the mirror image of ROBERT POWELL from *Jesus of Nazareth* . Sepiatone

In able to answer that question about how it's portrayed in movies, you'd have to ask why it happens in real life. You must be aware that what attracts a woman as far as men are concerned is based on a far different criteria than what attracts men to certain women. To most men, beauty IS only skin deep. But often, there's more to it. I've known buddies to cheat on their wives with far less attractive women, and those women also not being very likeable persons. For most men who cheat, it's a sexual matter. Anything more substantive is a bonus. With women, it's the SEX that's the bonus. Their reasons for cheating are of a deeper nature. Of course, I'm hugely generalizing here. The reason's why women OR men cheat are as varied as the people who do the cheating. As stated here by someone, being attractive isn't a gaurantee that the man isn't a louse. Add that the same thing goes for the woman not being a harpy. Remember when the question was posed to JESSICA RABBIT about why she married a goofball personage like ROGER, she answered, "HE makes me LAUGH". Well then, for the woman who cheats with a less attractive man, the answer might be the same. However, in the movies, one must not assume the "less attractive" man the woman is cheating with is found to be less attractive by the rest of the audience. Sepiatone

I used to think *Theme From "A Summer Place"* was the schmaltiest, syrupiest piece of whitebread nonsense ever written. Maybe it is. But in recent years, I've resolved to holding it in a higher regard as part of the "soundtrack of my life" ( can't believe I actually used that expression!). I have it on a CD collection of old instrumentals. But hearing it in high fidelity glory on my "state-of-the-art"( whatever that means) sound system doesn't do it justice. To me, it doesn't sound proper unless heard through a tinny 2" speaker in the kind of clock radio I used to have as a kid and used on the timer to help get to sleep at night. That's probably where the latent fondness for that tune comes from. That, or one of those old, cheap cigarrette pack sized transistor radios. Remember them? Sepiatone

I can understand that. Barrymore seems to "gush" over old movies much like the girls back in the day used to "gush" over Paul McCartney. It can get pretty irritating. Sepiatone
