Sorry, but someone broke the original thread with a virus. I discovered last night.
*bio47 's thread ran for 416 pages, with 6231 entries, and 227,997 views.*
I am so sad this happened to his thread. It was wrong to take this one and corrupt it.
I do not like BobbyRol.... worst kind of troublemaker.
I reported it to Michael or whomever the Admin available. and I guess we start fresh.
From *Arthur* (1981):
>*Yes... You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.*

And Gielgud in Arthur. The movie would have been nothing without him.
>*Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature.*

Not that I would suggest something more sinister, but...
How about you quietly sit hidden in the darkness some night, and as they churn by. give repeated blasts from a 110 decibel air horn. Would that help return your bucolic Karma?

You know you're getting old..
.. when any discussion you have is detoured into money isuues, health issues, or things that other people do that irritate you *.

>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.

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

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.

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.

By the dress, it looked around 1960. I immediately thought about the TV show The Whirleybirds..
I guess the LosAngeles airspace was a little more open then, LOL. I couldn't get over all the flat parking lots, even around Grumans.
And not one shot of freeway...
