    Two of my favorites have not been mentioned-

    The Boys In The Band-excellent film version of the Mart Crowley play, directed by William Friedkin. The entire original Broadway cast recreate their roles. This is a hilarious and sometimes brutally honest look at gay life in the late 60s, early 70s. The dialogue is some of the best I have heard in a play or movie.

    The Mind Of Mr Soames-Terence Stamp is a 30 year old man who has been in a coma since birth, Robert Vaughn is the surgeon who awakens him. A great look at parenting, Vaughn tries a more compassionate way while fellow doctor Nigel Davenport believes in a cold clinical approach. 

    Terence stamp invents the pitchfork swing.

    :lol:

     stillA want to be movie star - Pernell Roberts. He was talked into signing a six year contract to do Bonanza. He was promised good stories, poignant stories, but he felt that the writing didn't live up to what he'd been promised. His main beef was that the idea of three grown men still living with their father and obeying him, was ludicrous. So he begged to be let out of his contract. NBC said no way, Jose. So Pernell rebelled by not reading scripts, being disagreeable on the set - there one one instance where he was supposed to grow a beard and shaved before filming. In the last couple years of his contract, his **** poor attitude can be noticed. One episode has the four Cartwrights on trial to be hanged. At the trial Adam is slumped down in a chair, seemingly not caring that his life is at stake, sleepily drawing his hat over his face. I'm on the fence with this guy because I generally adore the character, but if I had been Lorne Greene, I would have kicked his **** out on the back lot. The other actors were not happy with Pernell, obviously. 

    screw Roberts. he argued that three grown men would not still be calling their father 'pa'.

    I can see grown men who love their father still doing that.

    isn't that what chuck Connors called burl ives in the big country?

    :D

    I don't plan to watch TCM today.

    Don't even plan to watch M*A*S*H's "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" tonight on MeTV. But you can.

    me neither as I thought it sucked from the first. the fire down the road I found interesting but the entire show bleeped itself with klinger remaining in korea. that was a major suck decision.

    of course it was sucked from the start with this overly melodramatic HS with hawkeye's mental breakdown which was a distraction from the rest of the show and alan arbus surely wasn't complaining but that sheet with klinger staying in korea blows the whole show.
