OH, and for those here who might prefer this in B&W...

"You're tearing me APART!!!"
-
Will you two please stop this bickering, 'cause...

"You're tearing me APART!!!"
-
Naaah, VX. All-American Day and Wayne would NEVER do anything like THAT!
(...I believe the answer is: All three are just 4 degrees away from Kevin Bacon)
-
OR, in the opposite vein(and as that poor fish with that balloon attached to his tail is headed in Ham's cartoon down there:
"Goin' to that Big fill in the blank with the earthly location of your choice In the Sky"!
-
Any word if he was able to somehow take his toupees with him, Ham?
(....he had some pretty nice ones, ya know!)
-

"Eeh! Why doncha grow up, Blanche?!"

-
I'm not sure, but "she" sure isn't the prettiest little thing y'all will ever see, huh!
(...though something's tellin' me Jake will think she looks JUST fine!!!)
LOL
-
>salty language
>beats sugary.
Ahem...I think THIS lady might beg to differ with you...honeylamb!

-
Has anyone mentioned MY favorite euphemism for dying YET?
And that would be: "Bite the BIG one!"
(...okay all you armchair etymologists around here...where the hell did THIS one originate, HUH?!)

-
So ccf, would this also mean you might think watching U.S. Naval films from WW!!(much of it filmed in color, and as compared to most stock footage filmed in B&W by the U.S. Army forces during that same conflict) makes it seem somehow less realistic, also?
-
Yeah, I agree MissW.
Yep, I TOO think there should be at least a LITTLE time after one "passes" before the dissection of their life begins!
LOL
(...sorry, I JUST couldn't resist!!!)
-
Gotta admit over the years I've replied to various people more than a few times (and in my very best Gable voice, and it's damn good impression if I do say so myself) that I don't care one iota what they're sayin' to me.

OH, and another one of my "fall back" lines after being told by someone that I must have been under some mistaken impression of some sort, is a particular line said by Bogie(and once again, my impression is usually spot-on), "I was mish-informed"!
(...so, do THESE count???) LOL
-
Then how about: "Stupid thoughts of self-medicating"?
(...which has of course always seemed to be THE primary reason people indulge in this kind of thing)
-
How about the Italian pensione in THE most magical city on the planet that Katherine Hepburn stays at in David Lean's SUMMERTIME?
(...would this count, folks?)
-
AND, on the flip-side of that thought:
This older gentleman had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl.
As he sat down, he noticed that the seat nest to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone was sitting there.
?No,? the man replied, The seat is empty.?
?This is incredible? said the first man. ?Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world and not use it?
The Second man replied, ?Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This will be the first Super Bowl we haven?t been together since we go married in 1967.?
?Oh, I?m sorry to hear that. That?s terrible. But couldn't you find someone else ? a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat??
The man shook his head. ?No, They?re all at the funeral.?

-
AND it begins....
(...and while I'm not disagreeing with you here Arturo, you HAVE to know where this baby is headed NOW, doncha?!)

LOL

LOL
So, I take it then that even though you've been attempting to tell everyone that this movie isn't as good as the general consensus thinks it is, they've..ahem.."fought me at every turn" EH?!


(...well, I've always liked it, anyway...the performances alone by that stellar cast are worth "the boat ride", in my ship's log!)
-
>Bottom line for me is that while most movies should be gender mixed in order to reflect reality, there are some cases where the gender mix adds nothing substantive and actually can detract from the story. And IMO two such examples would be The Hustler and - - - if the advice of some people here had been followed - - - The Women.
And, as I earlier suggested to TB, "The Caine Mutiny" also, Andy?

-
So Lavender, I gotta ask: Do perhaps most of these discussions take place during "dinner time" and between the hours of 3-5pm???
(...c'mon, you HAD to know I'd go there, RIGHT?!...it was MUCH too easy!)

LOL
-
So TB, are ya NOW sayin' the movie THE HUSTLER wasn't "exciting enough" for ya here???
(...sorry, couldn't resist)

-
Well, I'm not so sure about that, Sepia.
From MY experience in these matters, women really talk LESS about "sex" and MORE about "cuddling"!!!
(...and how their perceived lack of receiving that in sufficient amounts somehow means you "don't really care about 'em!")
LOL
-
>As far as the Brady home, I thought it was cool, too. Of course, yes, there would have to be a TOILET or two installed, a change of that gosh-awful wood paneling and get rid of the ORANGE FORMICA countertops in the kitchen! THEN you'd have a hell of a house!
I'm gonna out on a limb here Sepia and guess your "Go-To" alternative viewing option if there's something on TCM you're not that interested in seeing again is probably HGTV's "Property Brothers", RIGHT?!
LOL>But more recently, I really like the house that Jay and Gloria Pritchett have in MODERN FAMILY.
Yep, I think that is one very cool house too. And if you happen to watch NBC's PARENTHOOD, there are a few very cool homes featured in that show, also.
-
I dunno know, TB. I mean, isn't one of the complaints often mentioned about the classic THE CAINE MUTINY is the inclusion of the young Ensign's love interest?
(...among a few others examples of films which I'm sure given enough time I could think of to add here)
-
What might be the most ironic thing about that here Ham, is that Snidely Whiplash...errr...I mean WARREN there who ran that department store WASN'T exactly the "White Picket Fence" sort'a guy, was he!


Escape from New York/The Super Bowl

Speaking of "Escape from New York" here...Did anyone around here catch the clever use of Kurt Russell and his taped introductions of each team and his reference to "escaping from New York with the Lombardi Trophy" during the pre-slaughter..ahem..I mean pre-GAME broadcast?
