    Who knows?  → Maybe the CC was accurate and Alicia did want some 'Mary Jane'!  Wacky Weed! Mara Ju Wanna!  Seeds 'n' Stems! 

    Perhaps the 'CC' people know something we don't! 

    If we see an intro featuring Alicia with the BREWER & SHIPLEY song "One Toke Over the Line" playing in the background, well, shucks . . . there could be some HERB burning in the studio!

    If that was so, likely something like THIS might be playing in the background!  ;) 

    Far OUT, man!  :D

  2. Well, as someone who grew up hearing a variety of accents( Polish, Russian, Hungarian, Italian , Armenian and others due to my family and some friend's families and others) , the British  and Australian accents are much easier to understand than most of those other pea soup thick Eastern European accents.  ;)   But thanks to that exposure, I'm able to decipher most  of what the "customer service" gleep from Mumbai is talking about.  ;)

    Not so sure what your drama teacher said is true here, Sepia.

    And because if it WERE true, than please explain, say for instance, the existence of Charlotte Rampling's deep, sexy and resonant voice to me here?

    (...I'll see your reply later to this today, as now I'm out the door and to that little shuttle driving gig of mine)

    OK, I'll admit it isn't ALL British who sound stopped up, but here's an example of a couple....

  4. Still trying to think if there's a Powell performance I DIDN'T like.  No luck so far.  ;)  But----

    Nobody mentioned MR. PEABODY AND THE MERMAID with Ann Blyth?  :o  Contains one of my favorite movie observations(which I did discover was true!)

    "50.  The old age of youth, the youth of old age."  ;)

    Well, seein' as how we're kind'a on this subject here, I have to  say that personally I don't mind Alicia's Aussie accent at all.

    Nope, BUT what about her voice I DON'T particularity care for is, YEP, just like our boy Ben, she kind'a talks through HER nose TOO!

    (...THERE,  I said it...and YES, she DOES!!!)

    Actually Darg, what does irritate me about Alicia's accent is the factor that irritates me about British accents in general.

    Not talking TROUGH their noses, but rather sounding as if they all need a good shot of AFRIN to clear out what sounds like heavily clogged sinus passages.  In fact----

    As I recall, my high school dramatics teacher told our class that to achieve a passable British accent, we should stuff our noses with cotton and talk like that and do so until we can manage to sound that way without the cotton!  ;)

    Just speaking for myself.

    But you do realize, as closely related as they are, their's a huge difference between a British accent and an Australian one, right?

    And somehow Alicia's Australian accent is more irritating to me than say, PAUL HOGAN'S  ;)   And in the '80's through most of the '90's I got pretty much burned out on Australian accents and Irish music.    :blink:

    The first part is mother, the second part is not. I was watching CNN last night and they put the

    right number of asterisks in some cuss words that came up during the testimony of one of the

    capital cops. 

    I don't know enough about music to judge Clapton's skill as a guitar player, but he is a pretty

    decent songwriter. 

     

    1.  OK.  Gotcha.

    2.  Clapton is a very skillful guitar player.  But like any musician, has his own style which some might not care for.  As a British blues player, I think he's OK, but I always preferred MICK TAYLOR.

  8. Notice too, using that side-by-side comparison, how much higher Ameche's forehead is compared to  Brent's, and how the cartoon character's "widow's peak" is on par with Brent's.  But I'll add again, that both AHERNE'S and DONLEVY'S peaks are similar to Brent's.   And going again by the "recent co-starring" criteria,  Aherne was co-star to Colbert in 1941's SKYLARK.  And as this ccartoon was also from '41, is one more reason I went with Aherne.   Brent hadn't co-starred with Colbert in any movie that year, or the year before.  And as far as I know, might NEVER had co-starred with Colbert at any time.

    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.

    And what gives you the idea that I didn't?

     Jazz and blues have common roots, 

    And some would say there wouldn't BE jazz if not for the blues. And supreme jazz alto sax man CHARLIE PARKER once said he judges how good a jazz musician is by how well he plays the blues.  ;)

    My asterisk is a bit rusty.  Just what IS it you say every once in a while?  ;)

    This might be the dumbest post I’ve ever read.

    I suppose that if you keep making references to your own posts, they're ALL going to be the dumbest posts you ever read. ;)

  12. How about a series of "Faith-Based" movies focusing on  movies  in which actors who are/were Catholics actually played characters who were Catholics and so on.....

    Or actors and actresses who played roles "against faith".   You know....  Protestant actors who played Catholic characters, etc.

  13. I find Ms.Malone's accent a bit irritating at times, But I have a personal infatuation with her NAME ;) so I give her a pass.  I've never noticed any obsession with 21st century sexuality or homosexuality on her part, but I don't watch TCM 24/7, so all that must have taken place when I was watching the Detroit Tigers play some nights.  Or between movies that Didn't interest me so I didn't watch anyway.

    Whatevs.....

  14. Haven't time at the moment.  But do they plan a performance of the great score CARMINE COPPOLA composed for the big tour of the revival of Abel Gance's  NAPOLEON?

    I saw the film when it came to Detroit with the DSO performing the score live as the film played and it was conducted by Carmine himself!  And tell the truth, 

    The FSO seems to be more than adequate for the task.  :)

  15. I became smitten with her while watching the movie SERENDIPITY.   And Kate romping around in tight leather was the only reason I sat through those horrid UNDERWORLD flicks  ;)

    She is also in Grumpier Old Men (I think).  Do you remember when she fell off the stage?

     

    Ann-Margret did reprise her role in that sequel.  And it was 1972 when she fell TO the stage from an elevated platform some 20 feet or so high.
