Yes James. After all this time around here, you SHOULD know that people are best advised when they take my words for things!
(...well, most...ahem...a LOT of things, anyway!)
-
Wow Holden. So in essence you're kind of saying that those "non-rhotic" speakers out there have sort of a "lazy tongue" then, EH?!
(...better not spread this thought around during a Red Sox home game then, my friend!!!)
LOL

Where are ya gettin' that "John Wayne/New York" idea here, James? I never said there was any connection like that.
Now, hit Fred's link again and then go to the 00:40 second mark, and listen to that Brit's PHRASING as he says his lines.
THAT dude sounds just like a young and slightly inebriated Duke Wayne there!
(...oh and btw...even though he says "hurt" and not "hoit", the little guy with the gun definitely sounds much more like Gorcey than Robinson...remember, you're talkin' to a guy with a First Class Grade-A ear for voices here, my friend!)

WHAT James?! No conformation here of my extremely astute observation that that one guy who gets killed sounds like John Wayne AND that the little punk with the gun sounds EXACTLY like Leo Gorcey??????
(...now what's a guy gotta do around here to get a "right-on" every once in a while, HUH?!)
LOL

Oh, I dunno Fred(wait, that's right, Fred has me on ignore).
Oh, I dunno FOLKS, but to ME that little punk with the gun who somehow knocks out the guy(doin' a pretty decent John Wayne impression I might add) without comin' even close to him with that thrown punch, suuuure sounds like HE'S doin' as good a Leo Gorcey impression as I'VE ever heard, anyway!
(...be they Brits or NOT!!!)
-
Well, I certainly HOPE the reason you're not gonna vote for Mr. Weiner is just because he emails those pictures of his best lookin' feature!
(...'cause I'd HATE to think you'd be SO shallow that you're not votin' for the guy JUST 'cause he's one UGLY dude...SHEESH...what a freakin' NOSE!!!!)
-
Well, as you can probably guess here Lavender, MY attentions regarding that show back when I was kid were more attuned to those Corvettes that Milner, Maharis and Corbett drove around in.
(...kinda like a few short years later when most of my attention was centered upon that Harley-Davidson Sportster that Michael Parks rode around on in that series where he was basically pretty much doin' the same thing as those three fellas did in that Covette!)
-
Well, I suppose as long as this transgendered candidate doesn't also email pictures of his "new junk" down there like I've heard is "all the rage" with a certain other New York candidate, then I don't see anything wrong with whom you're considerin' pullin that lever for, Swithin!!!
-
LOL
Well, did that place during the months of either November, December, January, February or March???
(...'cause A LOT of 'em are down THIS way in Arizona durin' that time o' year, ya know...and for obvious reasons!!!)
-
>Arab is pronounced Arab, not A-rab.
NOT according to Ray Stevens and his hit novelty song from the year 1962, IT ISN'T !
-
Gotta say I think there was more than "a little" resemblance between Alison here and the "Mystery Girl" down there and now identified as Lee Purcell.
(...but then again what do I know...I've never thought I looked all THAT much like James Coburn EITHER!!!)
LOL
-
Yeah, well Lavender, I was thinkin' earlier that because Robert Horton and Robert Fuller share the same birthday, how ironic or coincidental it would have been if George Maharis and Glenn Corbett might have shared the same birthday TOO!!!
-
And don't forget those who reside in North Dakota here, Mr.R.
(...and evidenced by how many of the locals of the city of Fargo STILL after all these years indignantly insist that Frances McDormand and the rest of 'em in that flick "got it ALL wrong"!!!)
-
I'd say your entertainingly written expansion of upon the idea of "Don't get your history from movies" and/or maybe "History is written by the victors" was somewhat well taken, Sepia.
Though for some reason I'm now expecting some sparks to fly around here because during your attempt at evenhandedness, your use of the crazy Austrian man who sported that funny little mustache to make your point.
(...though I think you might've been safe usin' the whole "Roman" thing there, 'cause THAT was a long LONG time ago) LOL
-
For the same reason the Northeastern part of the U.S.A. is called "New England".
Both in the U.K. and in New England the letter "R' is pronounced very softly and with an"ah" sound....such as in the English manner of pronouncing the word, "water" as 'whoa-tah".
What I could never figure out is why in both of those locations they also very often make the "R" sound when pronouncing words that ends in "W", such as the word "saw", and pronouncing it as "sauer"
(...and don't even get me started on how JFK would often pronounce a certain country's name during a time known as "The Missiles of October"...YOU know: "Cuber"!!!)
-
>I find this ability to speak in different accents very interesting and impossible for me to imitate.
It's a good thing Tony Curtis didn't have this problem, or else "Some Like It Hot" would've have quite as funny and clever without him being able to do Cary Grant's Mid-Atlantic accent in it.

RO's introduction of the film "The Foxes of Harrow" tonight where he recounts the friction between Rex Harrison and Maureen O'Hara during the filming of this movie, and his mentioning that Harrison was married 6 times, pretty much DOES confirm the thought that the guy was a real "Piece O' Work", doesn't it!
-
Yes, admittedly in "The Devil's Disciple" he "spat out" his lines, but as I implied below, I thought that manner of his line delivery was very appropriate for the character he played.
However, other than that example which came quickly to my mind, your point is probably a very valid one.

Sorry to pull it back to talk of Canada again for second Mr,R, but I wanna say your Gordon Lightfoot pick there was an excellent one, and of course much more apropos than the Tim Hicks one I posted in jest.
And just one more note here about Mr. Lightfoot., One of my favorites of his was always "Carefree Highway", which was reporting inspired by his once traveling along the Carefree Highway located not far from me here in Arizona.
(...okay, and now back to Bogie, Jimmy and Eddie without further adieu)
-
Yep, and lets not forget there's a very good reason the Tourist Bureau of British Columbia uses the phrase "Super, Natural" in the promotions of their beautiful Province.
-
>Talk of the beauty of Canada brings to mind the song, "Canadian Sunset". Any other songs in the same vein?
Yeah finance, here's one...kinda...
-
Aah shucks!
(...thanks)

LOL
BRAVO, tracey! Great job there! Thanks!

Not being familiar with "The Victors", I checked into it at the IMDb and Wiki websites, dark. Both of these sources do indeed make it sound as if it is intelligently made film, and now one I'd like to also watch.
Paths of Glory Movie on 8/30 and Ben Mankiewicz
in General Discussions
Posted
Well, hang in there, jcutie. I've found Ben to be, as they say, "an acquired taste", and after a few years of listening to his nasally voice, I've now become rather fond of the guy.
Coincidentally, and speaking of "Paths of Glory", it was right after a TCM showing of this very movie about a year ago or so when this sudden change of heart about the Mankster seemed to come over me.
Immediately following the film, Ben told how this film was banned in France for many years because he said the French thought it "shed a bad light upon their military", and THEN Ben's next sentence was, "Insert your own French Military joke here!"
And so while anyone with a "tasteful" sense of humor would've probably thought that comment in "poor taste", I remember laughing out loud and thinking to myself: "Wow, Osborne sure wouldn't have had the guts to go for THAT joke here. Ya know, this Ben kid isn't half-bad AFTER all!"
LOL
