Ah, so you're a flatlander, eh? How cool that you got around. Which do you like best? Some of the best cheese and maple syrup and honey in the world in Vermont, although folks there (IMO!!) are kinda squirrelly, no? And, stay away from Manchester in October.......the bus people!!!!!!!!!!! There's a place in Woodstock (I believe) where they roast ears of corn outdoors, slather it in butter, and then let the customers douse it in any (and I do mean any!) spice, sweet or savory, that they wish. Man, it's heaven. But, I would still like to try Rice Krispies and cheese........heck, if I tried pork rinds and cream cheese, I'll try anything, right? Right.

Awwwwwww, klondike, no offense meant! Boston! LOL, I'm sorry, I thought you were in Alaska. I'm all confused.

MissTexasRunnerup (were you really?) you've got me intrigued. A Rice Krispie treat with cheese? Can you share the proportions? I love cheese, and these sound verrry interesting. And if anyone is interested, I can share my really quick truffle recipe. movieman1957, it was klondike that shared the pork rind and M&M and cream cheese recipe. But I was thinking, klondike, I bet you have a better caliber of pork rind than I do here in New Yawk and I bet that makes all the difference. On caramel dip and apples -- I bet that's a good idea too, since most caramel apples that are around at Halloween are a wonderful treat. But kim, you are correct, fresh apples bear NO resemblance to the 'months old stored in a warehouse' apples that are in stores now. Since they keep forever and ever (like potatoes), we get them when they are no longer fresh and still pay high prices for them. A friend had a potato in Idaho and said it bore NO resemblance to the potatoes he had here in New Yawk. Food and movies, what fun!

Aren't they, bobhopefan1940, aren't they!!!??? I'm so glad you liked them.

Thanks, ziggyelman. In looking for info on Ian, I did see mention made of the fact that he played Holmes in the early 1980s, after Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy (which I have never seen). Long before Brett did. Since Richardson did such a good job in Murder Rooms, I would be very interested in seeing him as Holmes. No, A&E never had these as part of their mystery lineup, and now that they are as crappy as AMC, they never will. But thank you for the info, I appreciate it.

Good idea...don't forget Rich Little's Nixon or Vaughn Meader's Kennedy!

What, his and Washington's birthdays aren't next week, on the 19th?

That's cool, Snarfie! You just took pictures of the television screen? Wish I had a camera when Robert Fuller was on Laramie in 1963! I loved The Untouchables, the mood, the music, the storylines, even down to Walter Winchell. I wonder why it isn't replayed today. My favorite was Paul Picerni.

Not on the topic, although I do like that Davis used the word '****', I do love me some good Yiddish, but also from the Times (may require free registration) and also re the Oscars. I just liked all the photos. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/11/magazine/11oscars.t.html?_r=1&ref=magazine&oref=slogin Bless Dame Judi's heart, I actually think the classy lady has NOT had any work done.

Thank you, songbird2. I just read about this on a Brit board I frequent, wherein they spoke of Helen Mirren winning a BAFTA and giving a tribute to Ian Richardson. And my stomach sank. I adored House Of Cards, and thought Mr. Richardson worthy of hunk status in the best tradition of Warren William. His films in the States were of not much consequence, but that is only because he was undervalued. I would have liked to see him take a turn as Holmes, I believe he would have been a worthy successor to Jeremy Brett. I will miss him. Seventy-two is much, much too young. Thank you, Mssrs. Thaw, Brett and Richardson, for adding to my life. Oh, and of course thank you as well, Ms. Hickson.

redheadedwoman, try Haagen Daz's dulce de leche. You won't be sorry. Be careful, though. I see now that the crooks who make Dove ice cream think 15.1 ounces is a pint. What a world, first 56 oz. Turkey Hill half gallons and now 15.1 ounce pints by the Dove ice cream makers. drdoolittle, I used to love Fluffernutter sandwiches! I guess it was fat and sugar on white flour bread, but I didn't care. I'd eat them still if I could get away with it. Finally, to whomever here told me about M&Ms, cream cheese and pork rinds -- I still don't know if you were kidding, but I tried this (even for me! ) weird mixture. I have to say, I will definitely be putting M&Ms on my next cheesecake (turns out there is already a recipe out there in internet land), but I stopped at one pork rind. But thanks for sharing.

Hollis, as you've no doubt found out by now, most of the board's hot buttons focus on the word 'classic'. For good reason. The idiot AMC at one time had 'classic' in their name, but it now stands for 'crap'. They used to show black and white movies, all day, all night, proudly. Then, when they realized there wasn't any money in the audience that watched b/w movies, they switched to color movies made in the last minute and a half -- so as not to start any wars, I will euphemistically state that classic applies to any of the movies you all like made before the last minute and a half -- and relegated the b/w (the REAL 'classic' movies, imo) movies to the wee hours of the morning. AMC then began slicing and dicing their movies in order to inject commercials, and since they were now no better than mercenary whores, their station was ignored by anyone with good taste. Those who have TCM are worried that the same thing may be happening, i.e., that they may be considering showing movies made after the last minute and a half. All the other stuff they show right now, of course, is 'classic', depending upon whom you ask. So, long story short, if you say The Godfather is 'classic', there will be some who disagree with you. If someone else says Foul Play is not classic, there will be some who disagree with you. The beauty of this board is that we are free to call out those who don't agree with us. Other than the troll who still insists on posting and running away like a girl, I think this is a pretty great place. And yes, you know what you like and I know what I like. And that, since film is an art, is what it is all about. The rest is just venting.

loveable....Eddie Bracken's character in Miracle Of Morgan's Creek? Hmmm, why is it harder for me to think of someone lovable than someone I dislike? King Donovan in Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.......

Fifty three??? Sad. Sadder still about her relatives. I'm glad to read she has a star on Hollywood Boulevard. 'Madonna'...how interesting. Thanks mongo.

Warren William -- ferret. A reallly studly ferret.

Damn. I like his face. There are actors whose face I 'like' and those I don't 'like' and the little man in my stomach is usually right on whether they are worthy of my admiration or not. Richard Farnsworth ---- LOVE his face. Warren William -- fill in the blanks. Some others, not so much. Guess who. Jon Hall seemed nice. I am really sorry he died so young. Thanks mongo.

klondike, good association. Although Dan Duryea always scared the beegeezus out of me, as did Richard Widmark (talk about running away from), Dana Andrews prompts from me nothing more than wanting a great big hug. I think he is adorable and huggable, and wish I were the type to get a fox fur out of him! As to Robert Ryan, I put him on par with Sterling Hayden. To heck with the fox fur............................................ :0 Ahem, and on to the question, I would have to answer 'memorable' with someone I haven't liked in one other movie -- Rock Hudson, in Seconds. That scene at the end where he is gagged and sputtering and realizes what he has let himself into via his hubris...........holy cow, just THINKING about that scene scares me!!!!!!!! I'll have to give 'loveable' more thought, no one is coming to me right off. As to Sean Penn, I have to hand it to him that he too, like DiCaprio, has come a long way since being married to Ms. Chiccolini. Another is Edward Norton, whom I think has a very long career in front of him, as long as he doesn't jump on any couches. But one of the best remodellings is Mark Wahlberg, imo. Not the question at all, though, so I'll stop.

Me? Seems I was wrong, it was Horton Hatches The Egg -- I said what I meant and I meant what I said, an elephant is faithful, one hundred percent......... http://www.vaiden.net/favorite_cartoons.html 'Horton traipses through the jungle singing a very incorrect version of ?the Hut-Sut song'.

Hollis, I'm afraid I haven't seen it. I have only seen the trailers for the movie with Nicholson, and DiCaprio seems to do the hardboiled detective infiltrating the mob pretty well. I know, Bartlett, that's exactly what I said, that he appears to be interesting now that he has matured. If he can stop short of jumping on a couch, he probably has a nice long career in front of him.

Oh, I had no antipathy towards DiCaprio before this movie and as he's matured, he even seems to be interesting. An example is his latest movie, the one with Nicholson. It was just this movie. Believe me, it was simply a visceral reaction and it colored the entire movie for me. Yes, I have to just put this one down to irrational hatred and move on. Now, where did I leave my new irrational hatred for Tom Cruise.............

Wow. Seems, then, that I'm having a serious senior moment! It was at least twenty years ago that Cablevision then TCI carried it, so I have to defer to you in remembering it. Must be me doing some transference........ Sorry.

And what's wrong with Titanic..... DiCaprio. Then stay away from it, I do. But keep in mind they've also been enormously successful popular entertainment. Bully for Titanic. I still hate it because of DiCaprio. Besides, why do people always pick on Titanic..... Because of DiCaprio. And because, thankfully, this is the last place on the internet that allows me to hate Titanic because of DiCaprio and allows me to say so. Bottom line, I can say here that I hate it and you can say here that you don't understand why I hate it. God Bless America and the TCM message board.

It's bad enough the Academy recognized Titanic Ha. Ain't that the truth. Besides, imagine how new posters' heads would explode here if TCM had an annual "31 Days of People's Choice Awards" program. Ha. Ain't that the truth.

A classic film is any film that touched your heart and that you carry with you regardless of era, decade, star, etc. Bingo. So, I guess this puts an end to any future posts that start with 'how CAN you say that is a classic...' or 'how can you NOT think that's a classic...'???? HA! Quite true, lzcutter. That's the bottom line and why TCM has a tough job. If they decide to separate into the 'Noir channel' or the 'Post-1960 channel' or the 'pre-1950 channel just for stoneyburke', then all we will have to talk about is the weather. Until then, I don't envy them their programming decisions. But we did do a nice job here recently on sharing why Casablanca was or wasn't a classic to us, didn't we? And then there was the squirrel that wanted to see Warren William naked.... :0

I should visit here more often. Hubba hubba on Jon Hall too. Think he and Lamour were having a fling? Notice where his hands are? You go, girl. Sixty four. Much too young, and what a shame, another suicide.
