  1. Oh, and btw, personally I think Cher will do JUST fine in her new role at TCM!

     

    Oh, and yeah. They DIDN'T get Cher because of some "youth demographic" thing. Nope, TCM got her 'cause they want to shore up their ratings in S.F.'s Castro district, L.A.'s West Hollywood district AND in the Chelsea district of New York City!!!

     

    (...among others)

  2. Well YEAH dp, "GD" if he ISN'T a very fine actor, alright! ;)

     

    It's just that while I FULLY realize many women throughout the world think a guy DOESN'T have to be "good looking" per se to be a so-called "Sex Symbol", ya HAVE to admit that even BEFORE the dude gained, what, 200 to 300 lbs, he STILL wasn't CLOSE to bein' "a good lookin' guy", ESPECIALLY with that Karl Malden nose o' his!!!

     

    (...which of course would have made him PERFECT to do "French Express Traveler's Cheques" commercials back in the day...well, that IS if there ever WAS such a thing as the "French Express Company", of course!)

  3. LOL

     

    Yeah, good one, finance!

     

    That reminds me of an old SNL "Weekend Update" line that Dennis Miller used back when he manned that segment.

     

    The story he was "reporting" was about Gerald Depardieu and the latest little bit of trouble the guy was accused of having at the time, and there was a picture of Depardieu that looked somethin' like THIS...

    ...projected behind Miller while he spoke.

     

    And after Miller was done talking, he turned around and looked at Depardieu's pictures and said...

     

    "Hmmmm...if THAT'S France's biggest sex symbol, then I THINK I'm startin' to understand that whole Jerry Lewis thing they have over there TOO!"

     

    (...I LOVED it!!!)

  4. >Is the Catskills not a summer getaway? In addition to Jewish comedians, you could see a lot of NBA players, including Wilt Chamberlain, at Kutsher's Country Club.

     

    Yeah, I recently saw something about Wilt playing at Kutsher's C.C. and about the Catskills of the '50s and '60s and when it was THE place to summer for the New York and surrounding area Jewish population of the time, especially.

     

    I think it was on "CBS Sunday Morning", which my wife and l never miss.

  5. >There are a few Wayne films I like, so I coulda liked this one, if it wasn't so populated by such unsympathetic a-holes.

     

    Yeah, well, YOU know how the Irish are after they get a few under their belts, RIGHT??? Maybe Ford was tryin' for some kinda early "Cinema Verite" thing or somethin' with that flick, HUH?! ;)

     

    (...saaaay, that was rather un-PC of me here, wasn't it!...SORRY EVERYBODY, and I hope all your St.Patty Day wishes come true...well, except for all that "green beer" stuff...YUCK!!!...btw, all of the above was offered up in jest...well, EXCEPT for that "green beer" stuff...uh huh, I STILL say "yuck" to THAT!!!)

  6. Hey BigFace! Watch what you're sayin' here, dude!

     

    If word gets to those people who make movies now days that you mentioned "Spiderman" and "On the Waterfront" in the same sentence, who know?!

     

    Yep, the unthinkable...Terry Malloy gets bitten by a radioactive spider and ends up utters the words: "I could'a been a contender, but instead I keep spinnin' these freakin' webs outta my fingers!"

     

    (...of course they'd still have to find a present day actor who mutters while he utters with that nasily Brando sound which COULD be kinda hard to find, so MAYBE we're still safe from a fate like this...no thanks to YOU!!!)

  7. Well, I'm not one to usually quote Karl Marx(Groucho YES, but Karl not so much), but like the dude said about the subject of History: "The first time it's a tragedy and the second time it's a farce".

     

    (...and evidently with all these so-called "Reality Shows" presently on the "History" channel, I suppose we're DEFINITELY into that "second time" around thing now days, EH?!) ;)

  8. Yeah, well, how about the now loosely titled "History" channel !

     

    I mean WHAT the heck do "swamp people", and/or guys who go out on fishing ships, and/or who drive big ol' trucks on iced up lakes up north in the winter POSSBLY have to do with "history", HUH?!

     

    (...well, I suppose AT LEAST all that stuff people take to be pawned off to those fat dudes in Vegas MIGHT have a LITTLE "history" behind 'em, EH?!...yep, I'll at least give that show THAT, anyway!...ah, but then again, I suppose you can ONLY show SO many programs about HITLER until even THAT gets sorta old, HUH?!!!)

     

    LOL
