Hey Mr Dash, sheit wants to see you as star of the month!
You must have made quite an impression on her/him/it!
-
Right, malkat. Now sheit is the board critic. Knows when a conversation is or isn't important.
Pompous much troll?
Hmmmm, still hasn't left for school or work. Wonder how sheit gets the money to pay the rent? Donations? Welfare? The fund for out of work incompetent film critics?
Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Ssssssh, don't let on to sheit isn't as clever as sheit thinks sheit is.
This board is sheit's life, sheit has no other outside of being a pompous condescending a.s.s. here.
Poor pitiable sheit, pathetic really.
-
Mr Dash, it's a term of condescenion by the board troll.
Hmmm, let's see, the troll isn't getting ready for work or school.
I wonder what sheit does, since sheit never ever shares, as trolls never do.
-
Careful, Baker. The brain trust duo has found their way into the Trivia thread.
All decorum is lost now.
-
Seven minutes, Dewey. Sheit must have been off writing a column on the Wild Hogs for tomorrow's Podunck Press.
Well, at least sheit has a library in the trailer park where sheit lives. Guess sheit has to go somewhere to plagiarize the film review sheit submits to the Mo Better Movie Column in the Podunck Press.

bobhopefan1940, I didn't particularly like the Hepburn-Grant chemistry, it just left me cold. But Hepburn does that to me, I don't sense any fire in her.
-
Yup, sheit didn't waste no time at all so sheit could see one more of sheit's dimbulb posts popping to the top.
-
Hey Dewey, sheit's working overtime today! Notice how sheit doesn't take over the trivia thread, though?
No doubt due to sheit's inferior grey matter.
Wait a second, and you'll see sheit respond to this so sheit can see sheit's name on the board.
Tick, tick, tick........too bad the sheit face doesn't know how to apologize as well as sheit knows how to post fatuous posts.
-
a real fool perhaps, certainly a pathetic one!!!
You betcha, larry -- both of those things.
-
Faster than a speeding bullet, Dewey. 49,000 posts and counting.
So little said in so much space.
-
malkat, I liked it for iconic 'Feed Me'. And the original beat the remake with Rick Moranis by a mile.
Heck, it's no worse than Sound of Music.
-
Isn't it a peach, genius? Ahead of its time, portentous, upsetting and best of all, it starred my very favorite Brit detective before he was rotund -- Warren Clarke.
I'm glad I bought it when I did -- why it isn't played more is a mystery to me. Tootsie and Mrs. freaking Doubtfire get 5 million air plays and Clockwork gets none.
What a stupid industry.
-
Make sure it's the older version with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney - that's the best one.
HUH? There's another? What heresy. Lon Chaney Jr.'s George was THE definitive George. There will never BE another George, imo.
I no longer have the patience or time to watch a classic movie all the way through either. Some movies, like Rosemary's Baby and A Clockwork Orange, scared or affected (respecitvely) me so much that I could NOT watch them all the way through.
Oh Judas Priest, I just looked up Of Mice and Men on imdb -- Malkovich and Sinise? Give me a freaking break. No way. No how.
I don't know who that Casey guy is, but I bet he was no Bob Steele (who was a stunt man, right?). Heresy, I say. -
What a wonderful idea gone wrong, wasn't it?
From Wikipedia:
<<<<<<<<
UA was incorporated as a joint venture on February 5, 1919 by four of the leading figures in early Hollywood: Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D. W. Griffith. The idea for the venture originated with Fairbanks, Chaplin, Pickford, and cowboy star William S. Hart a year earlier as they were traveling around the U.S. selling Liberty bonds to help the World War I effort. Already hardened veterans of Hollywood, the four film stars began to talk of forming their own company to better control their own work as well as their futures. With the addition of Griffith, planning began, but Hart bowed out even before things had formalized. When he heard about their scheme, Richard A. Rowland, head of Metro Pictures, said, "The inmates are taking over the asylum." The four partners, with advice from former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo (son-in-law of then-President Woodrow Wilson), formed their distribution company, with Hiram Abrams as its first managing director.
The original terms called for Pickford, Fairbanks, Griffith and Chaplin to produce five pictures each year. But by the time the company got under way in 1920-1921, feature films were becoming more expensive and more polished, and running times had settled at around ninety minutes (or eight reels). It was soon clear that no one, no matter how popular, could produce and star in five films a year. By 1924, by which time Hart and Griffith had dropped out, the company was facing a crisis: either bring in others to help support a costly distribution system or concede defeat. The veteran producer Joseph Schenck was hired as president. Not only had he been producing pictures for a decade, but he brought along commitments for films starring his wife, Norma Talmadge, his sister-in-law, Constance Talmadge, and his brother-in-law, Buster Keaton. Contracts were signed with a letter of independent producers, especially Samuel Goldwyn, Alexander Korda and Howard Hughes. Schenck also formed a separate partnership with Pickford and Chaplin to buy and build theaters under the United Artists name.
Still, even with a broadening of the company, UA struggled. The coming of sound ended the careers of Pickford and Fairbanks. Chaplin, rich enough to do what he pleased, worked only occasionally. Schenck resigned in 1933 to organize a new company with Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Pictures, which soon provided four pictures a year to UA's schedule. He was replaced as president by sales manager Al Lichtman who himself resigned after only a few months. Pickford herself produced a few films, and at various times Goldwyn, Korda, Walt Disney, Walter Wanger, and David O. Selznick were made "producing partners" (i.e., sharing in the profits), but ownership still rested with the founders. As the years passed and the dynamics of the business changed, these "producing partners" drifted away, Goldwyn and Disney to RKO, Wanger to Universal Pictures, Selznick to retirement. By the late 1940s, United Artists had virtually ceased to exist as either a producer or distributor.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Big business and money win in the end. See the rest of their history for how they degenerated into something owned by a couch jumping misogynist.

It is hard to pick one, probably due to his ability to make his female leads shine.
I think the kiss with Ingrid Bergman in Notorious ranks up there with me, then Eva Marie Saint and the club car on the train in North By Northwest, then the drop dead gorgeous Grace Kelly and the chicken leg that every female member of the audience wanted to be in To Catch A Thief.
Then Carole Lombard in In Name Only....oh heck, I guess I can't pick just one!
I mean, holy crap, Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth (My Favorite Wife? I get them confused), Irene again in Penny Serenade, Loretta Young in The Bishop's Wife, Laraine Day in Mr. Lucky, Constance Bennett in Topper, even Ethel Barrymore in None But The Lonely Heart!
I guess THE only female lead who acts as if she could care less whom she was acting across from is Kate Hepburn. And I really didn't like him with Audrey Hepburn in Charade.
Bottom line, I guess I just love Cary Grant to pieces.
-
I wonder if he'll fire the female actors if they get pregnant?
No chance of post-partum depression in his studio for our Tom, no sirree.
I bet the misogynistic studio heads of the 1930s are his heroes.

I think you'll all find this funny -- a newspaper article I came upon today that I had saved:
"As a dedicated cable subscriber, I have paid for cable service since its inception in (name of town). I've suffered through all the growing pains, loss of stations, loss of service (basic cable being divided into basic and expanded service - same service with a price increase)and the generally poor reception with tons of interference.
Now that cable has grown, and is close to where it should be with pay-per-view movies, sports events, etc., we're being bombarded with franchise taxes on HBO, pay-per-views and monthly fee for an addressable converter. After questioning a customer representative and being told with an attitude 'It's only $1.26 a month and that's the way it is,' I canceled my HBO service and returned the converter.
-----I think I just dated the article-----------
My monthly bill is now $30 less, and I rent movies from my local video store, where service comes with a smile!
----now I know I dated the article---------
By the way, people, $1.26 a month times 85,000 customers equals $107,100. a month for a converter that previously was free with any premium service. Not a bad piece of change, is it?
I called a second time to speak to the manager of public relations or the general manager to express my displeasure. The general manager was out of town; the public relations manager, I was told, does not accept phone calls from customers. That's a hell of a way to do business.
So remember people, $107,1000. a month, $1,285,200. a year in additional income from a previously free service without all the little franchise taxes. I think it's time to hit TCI where it hurts the most, in its pocket."
I hope this guy doesn't mind my reproducing his letter to the editor in its entirety. No, it wasn't me who wrote it, and no, I don't know why I kept it.
The year?
September, 1993.
Funny, no? And not in a comedic way. Almost 15 years later and it's the same old, same old, only the prices have gone up and the service has deteriorated even worse. I wonder what this guy thinks about the monthly fee on the digital cable boxes.
Thought you'd enjoy that blast from the past. Oh, by the way, TCI is now Cablevision.
And so it goes.

I know, Dewey1960, I saw that! It must be tough, being someone no one on the planet earth wants to date.
Poor sheit, neither male nor female, taken to resurrecting decades old posts in an attempt to have someone, anyone talk to sheit.
It occurred to me, Dewey1960, that our own board troll sheit is Leo, troll of trolls. He too was a lonely pimply faced halitosis stricken troglodyte. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
But at least we've given sheit a chance to respond to our posts now, after sheit goes to look up 'troglodyte'.
-
Wow, you struck a nerve with sheit, mrsl. Must be those film critics sheit idolizes, you know the ones that get paid a whole lot of money to sit in a chair, get free popcorn, and take payola from movie studios to say the words BLOCKBUSTER! BEST MOVIE IN MY LIFETIME! TOM CRUISES' PERFORMANCE WILL BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES! somewhere in their reviews so they can print the words in their newspapers,even if taken out of context, to sucker in the unknowing public to part with their eleven dollars to watch a steaming pile up on the big screen.
Hey, it's tough work, but some fat lazy lout has to do it, right?
Right.
-
Nor will sheit ever apologize, mrsl. Sheit thinks sheit is mighty clever with the continual cut and paste posts and moronic smiley faces and twisting of people's words. But sheit is not. Sheit is simply a rude young person whose parents did not teach sheit manners nor the schooling to realize that normal people don't continue to talk to other people in the manner sheit has.
Sheit does like so many trolls on other boards, calls names, then runs away and feigns innocence. Somehow, these trolls always, always get others to side with them or think they are truly innocent. They are not.
If there are those who want to talk with sheit (pronounced sh-i-te, by the way), they are welcome to do so. I will continue to talk around her and when being truly pathetic, sheit will post to me with a moronic smiley face in an attempt to get even my attention.
The sad part is that due to sheit's lack of manners, she fouls up all the threads on this board, rather than just using this one to continue her barrage of infantile blatherings. I have no idea if sheit should be doing homework right now or cleaning the baby's nappies or just otherwise contributing to society, but it is obvious sheit has neither the brains nor the moral decency to do any of the aforementioned.
Therefore, sheit sits in the little hovel sheit calls a room, banging out continued paragraphs of no great import, never sharing personal details for fear of being found out to be a phoney little infant, and otherwise contributing nothing but an ugly little persona to a board that is befouled by sheit's very presence.
And on sheit goes, still never having apologized to all those whom sheit has insulted. Yes, hopefully someday sheit will learn that what goes around comes around. And no doubt sheit will be one of those you see in the media crying in protestation: why me? and pointing the finger of blame at everyone but to the real offensive piece of sewage in question, sheit the troll.
-
Oh, and the Generation Xer troll still hasn't offered up the apology deserved by so many she/he/it has insulted.
A troll and a coward, not a pretty combination.
-
No, Cinemascope is an ignorant little troll, and is not a great responder. She/he/it flatters itself that those who post around her/him/it are trying to 'bait' her when all we are trying to do is have a conversation without the sad little troll interfering or posting the moronic smiley faces. She/he/it isn't worth the price of an earthworm as 'bait'. Sad, really.
Since that is no longer possible on this board, we will continue to talk around it and converse with those who have a brain and manners. Take 'it' seriously? Absoutely not, 'it' has no more brains than the film critics 'it' defends.
But by all means, continue to talk to 'it'. You are quite welcome to the pathetic little creature.
-
koolroadster, pay no attention to the pathetic little Cinemascope. She/he/it is a semi-literate Generation X'er with absolutely no manners who desperately seeks attention and lets no post go unanswered. If you don't give her/him/it any, she/he/it will post little notes with smiley faces and it apparently annoys the beeguzus out of her/him/it when she/he/it is ignored.
Try it, it works like a charm.
Just be very glad she/he/it is not a member of your family.
Oh, and by the way, RT Riley is a troll, pay him no mind either.
I don't know who that Casey guy is, but I bet he was no Bob Steele (who was a stunt man, right?). Heresy, I say.

No, I was calling sheit a troll.
