Yes, I figured it would be good to profile someone named O'Sullivan on St. Patty's Day.
Hey, TopBilled I saw a Maureen interview from tv, where she talked about Cheetah. She said he hated her and only liked men and Johnny Weissmuller and that they would have to chain him down in promotional photos that they took with both her and him in it, so that he would not attack her. I thought that was so funny!

I can attest to finding Errol Flynn's autobiography, "My Wicked Wicked Ways" very interesting.

He made one more film, Stargate. On the last day of shooting, he disrobed completely and walked off the set nude. Has never made another movie.
Now that's the way to end things for sure. with a flourish!

Jaye Davidson in The Crying Game.
He was fab and what happened to him, Lawrence?
I might have been the only one in my crowd watching that film who suspected that the girl was a shim.

Peter Breck's 87th birthday on Hulu
SHOCK CORRIDOR with Constance Towers
The Outer Limits: "O.B.I.T." (Season 1, Episode 7) with Jeff Corey
The Big Valley: "Night of the Wolf" (Season 1, Episode 12) with Nancy Olson
I love Peter Breck and that movie "Shock Corridor" is one of the best, TB!

Keith Emerson, the talented British keyboard player from the rock supergroup Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died at the age of 71.
The group's best-known song probably was "Lucky Man" from its 1970 debut album "Emerson, Lake and Palmer."
The Sixties rock and roll pantheon is declining daily.
Thanks for the info!

Don't geeks like John Bunny?
Great thread!

I know that the intention was most likely humorous jest & that religious devotees are commonly supposed to deny themselves worldly pleasures, but she's there to do some brief movie intro/outro pieces - it really doesn't matter if the presenter is fat, thin, or bright luminous green with a 70's mullet, eyes on stalks & a wooden leg.
Having said that, I do agree that her intro to And God Created Woman contained no surprises - mirroring some of the same discussion the film provoked when released... but, I also suspect that Roger Vadim also was also not in the least bit surprised by the reactions the film aroused, either...
Her intro to M was a bit more interesting, given that she took issue with the reasoning behind the LODs condemnation of that film.
I so agree with you, Limey as I don't care how someone dresses or looks. They could be a green faced alien for all I care. But what is important to me is discernible facts about subjects, ones that easily can be looked up and anyone who places themself in a position to be a leader about a topic, unless they are speaking extemporaneously, I would expect to have checked their facts or know them well in the first place.
My only beef was that as a spokesperson about movies, I felt Sister Rose showed her total inexperience about films with her comments about the cinematographer, and that it showed that she was just bluffing a bit, and probably doing last minute and faulty research to fill the space in her prologues and epilogues. A true media expert speaking about films would have probably known about John Alton, and his career even if just enough to know about his lighting techniques.

No, not spaghetti westerns from Sergio Leone. I'm talking about female or male impersonators on film.
Some are good, some are bad and some are ugly and I'll start by saying that though Cary Grant is an incredibly handsome man, as a woman in "I Was A Male War Bride" with Ann Sheridan, he made a most unattractive woman in drag, so I will put him in the Ugly category. Some male actors like Robert Cummings on the other hand could make a most appealing woman so it varies. I remember George Burns saying once that if you put Jack Benny in a dress you could take him anywhere, and I'm sure that was true.Please mention your favorites and they can be F/M, M/F, or even female to male to female or vice versa.-

Does anyone know why ICE CASTLES was condemned by the Legion of Decency?
I'm talking about the actual reason(s) the Legion gave.
Surely, it was more than Robby Benson appearing in his tighty whities.
I have wondered and wondered about that myself, Holden.
I mean it is way too boring to be condemned!

I suppose people might find the endings of Last Year in Marienbad and The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie open ended because it's not entirely clear what has been going on in the previous movie. Celine and Julie Go Boating is pretty open-ended. In Manhattan does Mariel Hemmingway's character ultimately come back to Woody Allen (no, in my view).
Wow, you picked three of my favorite films, Skimpole!
No offense to "Manhattan" that it's not one but it is open-ended, so thanks!

OH now! Most of us guys know better than to eat the BLUE M&M's, ya know.
Nope, word is eatin' THOSE things will often result in a guy growin' "moobs"!
(...and a truly comfortable fitting "manssiere" has yet to be perfected, ya know!)
Dear darling Dargo!
It's not the blue meanie M&M's that cause adipose tissue in unwanted regions on men on their upper torsos*. It's the loss of testosterone from smoking too much MaryJane.
* would that be "torsos" or "torsoes"?

Wait! There was a non-zombie version of McCarthy as well???
I mean, McCarthy was renowned for shuffling from HUAC meet to HUAC meet, moaning Reeeeeeedsssss, Reeeeeeeedssssss.
He also garnered such a reputation for being a bit bitey that regulars at the Winchester (Olde English Bar & Tavern) in Washington had to arm themselves with cricket bats for protection, after an unfortunate incident when somebody played Killer Queen on the jukebox. McCarty eventually ended up being locked away in the garden shed at the back of the Capitol building, watching Red Dawn* over & over on an old Xbox.
*Note: This was the 1984 original, since this all occurred prior to the 2012 remake portraying an invasion of Korean spammers being completed.
There's a movie being made about Roy Cohn's life.
RuPaul will be starring, Limey.

Well, I assume you HAVE heard that old expression about the color of a guy's..ummm..YOU know, when he hasn't "had any" for a quite some time, now haven't you, CG?!
And so, I've always just assumed that those people at Pfizer in charge of namin' their pharmaceutical products were probably thinkin' in this same vein when they named the stuff!
Which NOW reminds me of an old comedy routine of Dennis Miller's, and where he posits the idea that maybe the people who named "Cialis" might have been watching too many episodes of "The Honeymooners"?!
(...Dennis then points to his crotch with both hands and mimics Gleason exclaiming, "SEE ALICE?! SEE ALICE?!")
You need to wash out your filthy mouth with soap, preferably Palmolive, Dargo!
I thought guys got that "problem" when they ate the blue M&M's.
Who knew!

A classic open ending from one of Ben M's very favorite films: THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR.
PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK leaves us, well, hanging.
Oh, what a fabulous choice, Kingrat!
That movie is incredibly vague all the way through and especially at the end. Thanks!

I love movies with open-ended endings, in many ways they're the best kind. However, for some reason, I cannot name a single one at the moment. Perhaps my brain has become a little too open-ended, and everything's escaping it.
"Seriously", though, I do think this is the best kind of story. Life is rarely tied up in a neat bow, why should films be?
Hey, thought of one....The Grapes of Wrath.
Love those Oakie movies, Miss Wonderly.
Oh, you meant the family and I meant Jack.
Never mind!

Sister Rose looks like she is within hailing distance
of the sin of gluttony. I prayerfully hope I am mistaken
about that.
I'll have to defend Sister Rose here. Those sisterly habits do no one justice.
They don't even have to dress like that anymore. Why, I ask, why? When you're told you don't have to wear a boring habit anymore, why do they all dress in white blouses, black or blue skirts and with no jewelry, as if it is a self-imposed uniform.
I think I need to start a career as a nun stylist. I could spruce them up asap!

Hmmmm....so in essence here DGF, IF those little blue pills could just be dispensed in mass out there, perhaps there'd be a whole lot less wars in the world???
(...gotta say I never thought about this before...maybe you're onto somethin' here!)
Uh, Dargo is there a reason that these pills are "blue"???
My curiosity is killing me.

Me? Are you serious?
Thanks be to all the gods in the universe and the Greater Antilles too!
My prayers have been answered.

Yeah, gotta admit I thought Joan Jett was pretty sexy back in the day.
(...and so was Chrissie Hynde...who always kind'a reminded me of little Tommy's first wife Mimi Rogers)
Mimi Rogers hates Tom now.
But then all Tom's ex-wives hate him so I apologize for posting that.

The Wiki entry on Ian Stewart is a little kinder. He actually
was an early member of the band, but A.L. Oldham thought
that he didn't fit in with the Stones' image--too burly, too
old, etc. Stewart was older than Mick and Keith, but he
was two years younger than Bill Wyman. I believe Wyman
fudged on his age. Except for Wyman, I wouldn't call any
of the Stones downright ugly. I'll bet that many of the big
hair bands of the 1980s had pretty good looking lineups.
C'mon, Vautrin!
The Stones all looked like they were from Superman's Bizarro world,with those craggy, jagged faces.
Either that or I'm just way more shallow than thou.

You can be impotent, and still get in fights all the time. In fact, the frustration from being impotent can MAKE you want to get in fights.
Please tell me this is not from personal experience, Down?
Or does that "down" in your moniker have more than one meaning?
I won't believe it till I hear it from your lips!
-
Oh, I dunno. I always thought all the guys in Paul Revere & The Raiders were kind'a cute!!!
(...'specially that little s-tud muffin Mark Lindsay)
LOL
Gee, Dargo and I always pictured you being more of a fan for a group like the Runaways, with Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
Fang says "Hi!"

Herman's Hermits and the Monkees were copying the Beatles' commercial.sound, and each had similar success and fan mania, for awhile. However, their songs were mostly supplied for them, as they didn't (weren't allowed to?) write and record their own material. Particularly in this respect, they were a throwback to pre-Beatles music business, where a pop group was expected to sing and release the latest compositions from Brill Building composers. The Beatles' insistence on writing and having their songs released as singles from the beginning totally changed.all that, at.least for groups that hoped to be taken seriously.
As the 60s progressed, The Beatles kept up with innovations in music, recording techniques, etc. Often they were the innovators. Groups like the Hermits and the Monkees were not in the same league (to the everlasting frustration of Monkees Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith).
The Beatles were in another league entirelyo
The Beatles were the Fab Four and the Monkees were the Pre-Fab Four having been assembled by audition and a selection committee.

Blimey, Limey, uh, just how old were these Ring Dings?
Did the shelf life end in 2012?
