Oh, this is a thread about characters and movies and television, not posters on this website......

Oh, I would never pitchfork William Powell in anything he did. No pitchfork to Mr. Powell..... By the way, I recorded Mr. Roberts the night of Jack's films and it is still waiting for me to watch for the 100th time or so. I love that film. And the only thing that gets the pitchfork in that film is the palm tree....

I am a major fan of both of these actors; their films together, their films apart, his films before he met her , and her films after he died. Thy are my favourite real life on and off screen couple. My favourite film of theirs together is Key Largo, which is also the favourite of mine of many of those in Key largo.

Oh, I have done so. They do take up a lot of time, though.

Which one? Are you talking about 90-year old Queen's husband? or her son? Those of us who are under the Queen's rule want to know.

A reminder that Arabesque will be airing on Turner Classic Movies on Thursday, April 28th as part of the evening's look at Sophia Loren which starts with the interview she gave at the 2015 Film Festival where she was interviewed by her son. Arabesque was a follow up by director Stanley Donen to the movie Charade. Gregory Peck's role was originally offered to Cary Grant who turned it down.

mbear662 has taken up the spamming... It was a short reprieve

Part of this thread is actually sitting in the "Strange Truths" thread because I mentioned that Fred McMurray only got the role of Sheldrake because Paul Douglas died and it was quoted and the focus of the quote as the character and three of us discussed whether or not Sheldrake should get a pitchfork for several posts before we realized we were posting in the Strange Truths thread instead of the Pitchfork thread.

Membership cards are delivered via email, limey - or by private messenger. We here at Angry Mob make sure that everyone gets satisfaction the pitchforking business.

There is a temporary reprieve... The spammers are gone ...for the moment

Richard Harris taking out his frustrations on an innocent bystander because the spammer he reported had his account on private.

Oh, I did not mind seeing Clark Gable dance in Idiot's Delight. I would watch him recite limericks while dancing the rhumba if he had done it. I only mentioned what his fans of the time did - they wrote in and complained that the King of Hollywood was not supposed to dance. I love Lady in the Lake as well. I love Robert Montgomery, period. He directed that movie by the way. He had directed parts of the war movie They Were Expendable - he was a bigger star than Wayne at the time and got top billing -when John Ford was ill. As for Fred, he did not want that role in The Apartment. He was fantastic. But he had already played against type in Double Indemnity and had to be talked into it by Billy Wilder.

There are two of them. Limey beat me to the one on private again. Friday nights...

Really. I had my account on private for a while and found out spent more time on this site than I did when it was not on private. We can still report him/her though. Maybe the spammer thought that if the account was on private the spam could not be deleted?

1941 Hitchcock movies; In preparation for the switch to 1941 movies in Bogie56's Favourite Performances Thread Hitchcock made 2 movies in 1941: Suspicion, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a comedy not to be confused with the recent Pitt/Jolie movie. The second film is NOT a remake. Mr. and Mrs. Smith starred Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. Hitch wanted to work with Lombard and she was a comedy actress. So he did the only straight comedy - no deaths - of his career. He planned to eventually do a suspense film with her but death intervened. Here are my nominees for my FAVOURITE HITCHCOCK PERFORMANCE, MALE OR FEMALE: Carole Lombard in Mr. and Mrs.Smith Robert Montgomery in Mr. and Mrs. Smith Cary Grant in Suspicion Joan Fontaine in Suspicion Nigel Bruce in Suspicion Leo G. Carrol in Suspicion WINNER: NIGEL BRUCE IN SUSPICION - It is my favourite Nigel Bruce performance

This shows how badly this thread has gotten out of hand with people trying to explain themselves. Prince did Purple Rain. We are allowed to have separate colours in our fonts. Why should you need to ask if you are offending anyone.

I understood you completely. But as the post I made was then quoted by someone else - it is still there I believe although I have now put this person on ignore- and she told me that I sounded like Prince had taken drugs and everyone "liked" her comment, I had to spend several hours explaining myself. I then decided that the best thing you can do is to follow the advice of moderators on this site and put people who push your buttons on ignore. EDIT: The post was edited and no longer is what it said.

Happy 79th birthday, Mr. Nicholson.

Happy Talk Like Shakespeare Day: When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes....

Living in Canada we have some medications paid for through public health care plus some meds are paid for if you are on disability pensions. We are having quite a time with the medical marijuana situation here. And your post points out another important factor about Prince's death. Regardless of how Prince died, whenever someone famous dies the media frenzy is such that the buzzards who want to sell things love it. Just like when Robin Williams dies. Yellow journalists love it. But does the general population lean anything beneficial or does it make it any easier for people to understand a medical condition? People know a lot about Parkinson's because of Michael J. Fox. AS for M.S., I know that everyone wanted to be in the hospital to get the last moments of the life of MS sufferer and Mouseketeer Annette Funecello. She had no privacy at all.

Here is Michael Caine reading IF by Rudyard Kipling

Hey, Larry. Things are going to get derailed all the time. Even when we don't mean them to be. I saw on the Noon news hour that there are several songs completed by Prince which may at some time be released. That would be wonderful.

Yes, She was pointing out examples of people who did not die of natural causes after I had mentioned that we should not mourn only people who die of natural causes. George Sanders left a note to his sister that he was "bored."

Now there is a movie that is rarely seen. Between Two Worlds is excellent.

Thank-you for pointing these facts out, Princess. I am glad to see someone else point out these tragedies than just myself as I got "pitch-forked" for commenting upon the truth of many people's deaths. Yes, Boyer committed suicide. His son had killed himself. He and his wife never got over this and he killed himself after she died. Burt Reynolds who is still alive and has not mentioned why he is not going to be able to do the festival became HOOKED ON PAIN KILLERS AFTER HIS JAW WAS BROKEN. He had been hit with a real chair by an extra. He was supposed to be hit with a break away chair. My point was - and yours too - is that it is sad that Prince died. How or why he died does not make it more or less justified in feeling grief. I understand that Robert Young - who died of natural causes in his 90s - suffered his whole life from migraines that were so powerful he would cry himself to sleep.
