Yep, that's kinda what I thought you were referring to.
However, I think you might agree that a C- or D-Type(and even replicas of those) would draw any attention away from the much more commonplace E-Type, right?!
-
Nothin' "sacrilegious" about a Beck 550 Spyder, my friend, though you might have been referring more to my thought that my 550 would draw more attention than an E-type would.
However, if you were in fact referring to the idea that all replicas are in any way "sacrilege", then you may not know this, but these Beck 550s aren't based on some rear-engined VW pan like the replica 356 cars are(not that those aren't kind of cool too), but are mid-engined cars built around the tube-chassis design and body design of the originals and now million and in some cases multi-million dollar cars.
(...however, just as with a certain young actor who lost his life in one of the original 550s on Sept.30th, 1955, you do NOT ever want to take on a Ford sedan or any other make of full-size cars head on and going the opposite direction in this car, as you would most likely end up with the same fate as the aforementioned young actor!)

BINGO!!! Nice work! Lynn Cartwright was 65 y/o in that still from "ALOTO", and was still one beautiful lady, wouldn't ya say?!
Well, I always thought so, anyway.
Btw, she was married to actor/screenwriter Leo Gordon here for 50 years and until his death in 2000.
(...and they say those Tinseltown marriages never last)

You have the right movie, but not the correct actress, heuriger. Nope, it's not Miss Darrow, but another sultry brunette from that cult/kitsch classic, who actually did scant work for many years, but toward the end of her life had a memorable role in a hit '90s movie playing an older version of the lead character.
-
Close, I'd say heuriger my friend, but take another look at Steven's face on that album cover, and then watch his performance of his "On And On" hit song(I always liked that one) on the old "Midnight Special" show...
...and then tell me if he doesn't actually look a lot more like comic actor Adam Sandler...
...than he does our Ben M.
-
Sorry slayton, but heuriger has it right again. Yep, that's Yvonne, alright....and one of the first actresses I recall having a major crush on as a kid.
Okay, and now the next one might be a little harder...
In her younger years...
(the set, the costume and the props might help you)
And in her later years...
-
Yep heuriger, you've got it.
Now, how about...
?

"We're on a mission from God!"
-
Yeah, come to think of it, that pic did also look a lot like Richard Thomas too.
-
Okay Kid, I have one for you...and/or anyone else for that matter.

Hmmm...now I could be wrong here, Fred, but I'm gonna guess that the dude on the left once prematurely ended a production of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in the year 1865.
(...so, am I right?)
-
>Comes with a free breakfast..
LOL
Good retort, Kid!

Sorry for the slight sidetracking to follow here folks, BUT everytime I watch Ciannelli in his "KILL! KILL! KILL!" role as the Thugee guru in Gunga Din, I always wonder if that's who Don Rickles was channeling when he played the renegade Indian character of Bald Eagle in "F-Troop"?!!!
LOL
You folks remember that, don't ya?! Well, If not, then here ya go...

"FRENCH"?!!! Geez Kid, I asked ya to make these babies a LITTLE harder, remember?! But dude, ya don't have to go all "Continental" on us now, ya know!!!
LOL
-
Yeah, it might be a little counterproductive for TCM to show North Dallas Forty, huh!
(...btw, maybe the best movie about football ever made)
-
Oh, you mean the "Post-Richie Petrie Birth Era", finance???
Yep. Remember the early episodes of the Dick Van Dyke Show where "Rob" is often wearing his porkpie hat(at least I think it was that style, anyway), and especially that one episode where he and Laura are relaying to Richie about the day of his birth, and that one particular scene where Rob is preparing for the blessed event by sleeping in his clothes and practices grabbing his hat which he's left sitting right above his head on the headboard?
Well, ever notice that Rob pretty much goes hatless after the first season(1961-62) of this classic sitcom?

Then Dothery, your friend must also have one of the few E-Type Jags which don't have a cooling problem, as those beauties are known to quite often have.
I have to admit however, I also have always yearned to own an E-Type since my first SoCal sighting of one in 1961, and at the tender age of 9. It was instant lust.
(...though I am quite happy presently owning a replica Porsche 550 Spyder, also one beautiful car that not only is a blast to drive, but probably garners more appreciative looks and thumbs up from the public than even an E-Type would)
-
>If you're a sprockethead for THESE kinds of sprockets, as sprocket man may be, you probably WOULD miss TCM. Then you could switch your attention to bicycle sprockets
OR...

LOL
And THEN you have the voices of the pragmatic Realists of the world!

Nicely stated reply to our new friend Sean's affirmation of TCM's value, MissW.
And a mighty welcome to you, Sean! And speaking of Bing, you seem to have taken to heart the sage advice of Mr.Crosby here.
...(...and I must say it's refreshing to read someone's initial postings to this website being in positive terms, as it seems quite often new members are only spurred to participate because of some complaint they have with TCM and its programing)
-
Loved your essay on Joe "The Prince of Darkness" Lucas, Sans!
(...and that's why I'm thankful my modern Triumph motorcycles no longer use his wares)
-
Yep, Swithin. Good line quotes from a very good movie, and which I think perfectly encapsulates my little joke below.
(...aah, but I have a feelin' that this present "theological diversion" of this thread just MIGHT steer it towards a course to oblivion, if ya know what I mean
...and so it might be a good idea to now steer it away from any talk of organized religion) -
Yep. Ya see Sepia?! Swithin is right here.
So, don't give up ALL hope for the future, dude!
(...uh huh, 'cause who knows...MAYBE in ANOTHER hundred years from now or so, the Catholic Church just MIGHT allow women to be equal with men, and allow 'em in their little Hierarchy...uh huh...I mean EVENTUALLY there COULD be a Pope named VIRGINIA or somethin'!!!)
ROFL
Gaining Interest in TCM!

>I'll help you out. I am hereby doing a post that says nothing at all, just to keep this thread ahead of the other thread.
....and this would be different from your normal practice around here how exactly???
LOL
(...sorry finance, I just couldn't resist that one, and really didn't mean it...your setup was just too enticing to pass up, that's all!)
