>Finance wrote-...another expression from "Seinfeld", as is most of my vocabulary. If the show had never aired, I'd be sitting here mute. 35k+ posts, and this is why? The show ran eight years.. ended in 1998. Never mind... TV was better then. h5. You know you're old when the Walking Dead isn't a TV show to you,. but feels like a state of mind for others..

You know you are an old man... .. when all the women you prefer to date are at least ten years younger. You know you are an old woman... .. when the men your age on dating sites are using photos from ten years ago, preferring women _not_ your age. You know you are _too_ old .... .. If you make a poor decision and suffer the consequences, knowing you will never live long enough for it to become a funny story to tell friends.

>TomJH wrote: Sullivan's Travels. In one scene towards the film's beginning, Greig, as butler Burrows, has some wonderful dialogue which he delivers with relish, warning his naive boss and Hollywood director (Joel McCrea) against the latter's plan to go out into the world and pose as a hobo. I am so glad you mentioned this. It was a pivotal scene and Greig carried off very well. I am reminded of some other great movies. In THE LADY EVE, Senior Pike (Eugene Pallette) is bombastic and clueless the morning of the big party, as he and his breakfast is ignored by his staff. This is a reoccurring theme in the movie. Then, there's the governesses: JANE EYRE, (1944) Fontaine gives us a mousey yet charming Jane to care for little Adele (Margaret O'Brien). She is the strongest woman and the most capable to withstand the struggles of the wealthy class she serves. SABRINA, and while Sabrina isn't the servant, she is judged by the station in which she was born, to a cook mother and chauffeur father. Of course, she has more grace, bearing, and charm than the moneyed families surrounding her on Long Island.

A Man for All Seasons. Breaker Morant.. Wonderful contributions. And while it was a brief scene -- Oklahoma, Quickest Kitchen Trial I ever saw.

Wow, what a story, Sepiatone. I am glad through the circumstance he was tested, and his wife turned up without the enzyme. Amazing family fateful tale and thank you for sharing it. My Singapore-born Asian Aunt and my Swedish/American uncle have wonderful cross-cultural adventures even since meeting in the 1960s while he was serving in the Peace Corps. They have friends on six Continents. In keeping with the day: *Secret of Roan Inish* *Waking Ned Devine.* Edited by: casablancalover2 on Mar 17, 2013 7:07 PM

The Chieftains, none finer, imho Chase Around Windmill:

*Judgement at Nuremberg* - thank you for mentioning it. I only had to look to my right at my DVD shelf..

*Anatomy of a Murder* *To Kill a Mockingbird* Fun and stupid court proceedings. *My Cousin Vinny*

I wish I could say I am too young, but no. I didn't hear Mother's Finest as much as Sly, but at the time, I was into Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, and Boz Scaggs. Now Lucinda Williams I know. I like the Ugly Truth: h5. Reality is better than fantasy, because fantasy is only a game we can grow tired of, and reality is life, and your life you can change.

There was a real alternative to disco. Thank You.

.. You are better off not believing it. Now really, Sly just isn't the fling type. Funkadelic passion, but no fling. It does make me wonder what defines a fling. It seems to be different things to different people. A fling, I see as far more innocent .. Sly did do Que Sera, Sera Definitely, not the fling type

Another person who hasn't read Doris' biography, _Her Own Story_ with A.E. Hotchner. It was the hot rumor at the time of her bio. She met Sly, who was a friend of her son. The meeting lasted maybe 15 minutes. Not much time to develop anything. She had rumors flying about her in Hollywood, and part of the bio I think was to clear them up. A quick Google could do that too. I suppose I didn't help, but it just shows you don't know a person entirely, nor can we judge. Would it matter to you? Really? It really doesn't affect our lives how she lived hers. Unless you have a relationship to Ms. Day.

That long version just made it to my saved list! THANK YOU..

Oh, mw, that was so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. But i am more interested in following the Scottman's lead. Slippin' into Darkness was just funk... very good It brought to mind a couple others from that era. What War wrought. Rare Earth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm9lF8aZxNk Sly and Family Stone: h5. I don't know if this was before or after Sly's fling with Doris Day..

Hum that Tarentino movie may have helped too. A Royale, anyone?

I agree with TikiSoo. Someone will not care for something here. You can appreciate TCM, even if you don't care for it's programming 24/7. I only hope someday they will be streaming too. Edited by: casablancalover2 on Mar 11, 2013 5:58 PM

Low Rider is a good one. So is Cisco Kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2ZIZOOJvDU

My favorite is My Funny Valentine

> Addison wrote: *Vanilla?* What the hell leaves have you been burning? I just remember the leaves way back in the day, when I was 6-8 years old, smelling sweet when they burned on the curb. We had some oak, maple, and elm. I thought it smelled better than pipe tobacco, which a favortie uncle smoked. I am aware that it is a back lot, for that reason for me all the more to appreciate the details. When the story moves on to Wintertime, it is fun to see all the conversation without clouds of breath, I am curious about the locale for the mill. The snow does look very soapy in spots, but area is emmense. Could they have shot it way out of town? imdb doesn't say. But, imdb has a fine accounting of Carrie's house: > {size:13px}The house Jane Wyman's character lives in (on Universal's "Colonial Street" backlot) was built by on rented Universal property by Paramount Pictures for 1955's "Desperate Hours"; Universal left it standing after filming, altering its appearance for "All That Heaven Allows." Four years later, it was altered again, for use as the house of the Cleaver family in TV's "Leave it to Beaver," beginning with the show's move from CBS to ABC for the 1959 season. The house continued as the Cleaver house until the end of the series in 1962, but was known at Universal as the "Paramount House," not the "Cleaver House.

There is an interview with Sirk (done by the BBC in the seventies) where he admits he doesn't like how *All that Heaven Allows* came out. He does like the result of the *Imitation of Life*, I think for the society and racial undertones. Here's a clip of Rock Hudson, speaking on Sirk and his style.

Then there's Garbitsch from *The Great Dictator*

Finished watching *Written on the Wind* again. Would you believe it is on the Criterion Collection? Best of All, *All That Heaven Allows* showed up today, also Criterion Collection. The opening scene with of Autumn in New England is so wonderfully "Norman Rockwell" is scope. I do get nostalgic about the shot of the houses in this little town, for they are burning leaves in the curb. Nothing so wonderful as the smell of Autumn leaves, and when they burn, this wonderful sandalwood/vanilla perfume fills the air.

Rufus T Firefly... in *Duck Soup* Hey Dargo, did it snow in AZ for you this week?
