Nice try, James, but remember, the difference between little Miley, Hattie and Dave are that the latter two actually possessed talent.
(...when it came to The Arts, anyway)
-
LOL
Great find there again, Sans.
Reminds me of watching Johnny Puleo and his band on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was kid.
(...btw, do I now have another lookalike possibility here for that thread with the addition of Borrah Minevitch and Huntz Hall???)
-
It's hard to top Bugs Bunny in that regard, heuriger!
-
LOL
It seems perfectly aligned to me!
-
I would think Brubeck's other more well-known song, "Rondo a La Turk" would be much harder to play than "Take Five".
-
Uh-huh! SEE Lavender?!!! MissW and I aren't the ONLY ones around here with this thought in mind!!!
And THIS guy is a MUSICIAN...a JAZZ musician!!!
(...so THERE!!!)
LOL
-
Well, I'm no musicologist and my interest in Jazz is merely fleeting, but I've always thought that because Brubeck's "Take Five" became so popular, that it in effect HAD become somewhat of a "Pop Standard" also.
(...though of course I could be wrong)
-
No, I understood your point, James. I was more making the point that the idea of "selling-out" sometimes can still contribute to making good art, and regardless of the genre to which an artist can appear to "sell-out" by those known as "purists".
-
Yeah, well, I'M still tryin' to figure out how this baby went from Cheyenne Wyoming to locales north of the 49th Parallel???!!!
(...'cause GoogleMap is showing the ONLY route in THAT direction becomes pretty darn circuitous TOO once you hit Billings Montana!)
-
Yeah, isn't it a "shame" the guy "sold-out"?!
(smirk)
-
Just wanna say here that while I have no idea what might've caused this schedule change...I LOVE this movie!
-
>So the war dodger told off other war dodgers?
Not in Cheyenne Wyoming, I hear!
(...but word is that sorta thing DID occasionally happen up there in Canada at the time!!!)
LOL
-
>If we learn from our mistakes then I must be a genius.
And thus possibly the very reason that "genius" IS a fairly rare occurrence in our species.
(...'cause few people, myself included, actually DO learn from our mistakes!)
LOL
-
Yeah Hibi, now that I've re-read Sepia's comment , I think you're right. He probably didn't mean to imply he thought this particular movie "sucked".
(...sorry Sepia)
-
>LOL and where's your sense of humor on this one.
Well, like I said, it's still pretty early out here in the West, and I'm just now gettin' to my second cup o' joe!
LOL
>You know I was kidding you.
Yeah, I knew that.
-
Wow, Sepia. I thought the film didn't "suck" at all. While not a great film, the performances in it by all the actors made it a worthwhile experience to view in my case. I also thought the pace gave it somewhat of a "European" feel, meaning slow and thoughtful and intimate, and thus somewhat unique enough from most American-made films to make it interesting.
Something I kept thinking of while watching it last night was how much Woodward reminded me of another cold and distant but ultimately fascinating to watch maternal-type character in another movie made just a few years later...the wife and mother Mary Tyler Moore played in "Ordinary People".
-
THANK you, MissW! Because your well written and thoughtful reply to Lavender encompassed my thoughts on that matter perfectly, I can now do a "finance thing" here and save myself tons of keystrokes!
...forgot to add...
(...because it's still pretty early in the morning out here in the West, and my fingers aren't warmed up quite yet!)

That would be preferable of course, James, however I would think any "one-person" play about any historical figure presenting a circumspect accounting of events about their life would almost be a contradiction-in-terms, due to the subject telling their POV in such matters.
Can you think of one offhand that hasn't?
-
Well ham, not that I'm blaming poor ol' put upon Alec here(probably because whenever I see him on Letterman, he strikes me as a witty, intelligent and overall likable guy), but I think THIS part of that report kinda says it all...IF it's true of course:
"A day later, Baldwin's 17-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, Ireland, penned a letter to her new sister: "You have been born into one crazy family," she wrote. "You are both lucky and cursed at the same time."
-
Now, what is it with all these seemingly otherwise intelligent people around here lately who have "chips on their shoulders", huh folks???
(...and why do I KEEP runnin' into 'em around here now???)
LOL
-
Yep, that's him, Rich. Good eye.
-
LOL
Yeah, but I didn't know you were in any way connected to finance.
(...no, NOT our friend hittin' the stationary bike in Philly everyday, I meant "financial matters" of course!)
-
Sorry heuringer, but I'll have to send you "out to the cornfield" for THAT one!!!
LOL
-
Nope, Twink, It's not the guy who forgets to take his gun and not the canole with him after dining at an Italian restaurant. Sorry.
(...that is if you're talkin' about Robert "Blake")

If you read the "To answer your question, MissW" thread I started after MissW's original thread about Hattie became(if you'll excuse the expression) "gone with the wind"
, then CS, you'll know that I'm actually glad to see you've returned to these boards.
And so, welcome back!
(...just be prepared to take in stride a little of my, let us say, "pointed humor" while I make a few of my points this time)
