Interesting on the Toshiba thing, Rusty. Thank you.
As a former librarian, even though I'm not as smart as Henry Kissinger, no you don't sort by 'a' or 'the', according to the Dewey Decimal System. Yes, you can sort on 'I' and then the next word. Or, trust it all to Microsoft Office Word, as I do.

And let me guess, you're Kissinger and I'm Franken?
Again, you're not really that much of a pompous ****, are you path? Say it ain't so.

always put a wad of cotton or something between her upper lip and teeth.
Things are flying so fast here today, jdb1, I forgot to comment on this. How DISgusting. The poor woman, that she found it necessary to do that. Then again, look at how many woman get plastic ta-ta's today in Hollyweird.
Sad.

More and more people are just speaking out in all different directions, now. And, anyone is more than welcome to compliment Miss Lamarr!
Absolutely, GM. And to quote my favorite show, "not that there's anything wrong with that".
Beauty is beauty. It's true for Rodin and it's true for Hedy.

movieman1957, you DON'T want to get me started on Homicide and what Jon Seda and NBC did to that police drama. I think it was one of the best in the history of television. I visited Baltimore a few years back, and touching the Homicide plaque on the site of the police station used in the show was a religious experience.
I remember where I was when I saw that Subway episode, it made that much of an impression on me. Braugher and Vinny were simply amazing. I was thrilled when he showed up on his own show, Law and Order Criminal Intent, but if you've been following that, it has been watered down, perhaps due to his 'sensitive' nature.
But no, I do NOT remember him from The Equalizer, a show I remember. More's the pity, since it probably won't be replayed and I'll have to wait until I get a DVD player and Netflix to get back episodes!
Thank you very much for the pointer, though.
Even more bizarre than playing a handicapped person, you have to catch him as a bug wearing a human skin in Men In Black....you won't know it's him. He's an excellent actor.

Oh heck, cinemabuff64, not to worry. I am a second generation 100% Eyetalian female and know cherce wimmen flesh when I see it.
Carole Lombard and Hedy Lamarr are cherce, fer sure.
Not familiar with the song 'Fascination' though. Although I am currently listening to Leonard Cohen and my brain is scrambled into watery eggs with his voice.

LOL, haven't we though?
TIVO is a paid for system which tapes programs to a hard drive through a special device attached to the teevee. You pay a monthly fee for this device to tape programs you want and to tape programs which it SUGGESTS you might like. How's that for Big Brother? You then either watch the programs, lickety split, or you tape them to your DVD, I believe. Others with TIVO, please correct me.
In addition, it communicates back to the geeks in the corporate office what you are watching and...get this...even WHICH commercials you are watching and which you are deleting. Not for me, thank you.
A VCR is a stand-alone dinosaur bit of technology which I currently refuse to move beyond. Mine has a clock that I have learned how to program and will tape programs when I tell it to, and not beyond. Mr. SB doesn't know how to use the VCR.
TIVO is evil.
MY opinion.

Good point, TMN. But aren't Pacino and DeNiro also method actors? Speaking of which, are there female method actors?
Perhaps it is the person who was the method actor. I am very much of the like 'em or hate 'em school of movie watching.....no, really, she said?.....so if Chaplin is deemed talented by those in the know, I will say Phui to them.
Since I don't like Dean or Brando or Steiger or Morrow much, but do like Pacino and DeNiro a lot, it might not have much to do with style but with the person.
On an even more modern level, Vincent D'Onofrio is a student of this school of acting, unless I am mistaken. And since I think he is drop dead gorgeous, I guess I am a shallow, unenlightened movie viewer -- still on the stone floor, doing the abject mea culpa.

Good for you, bradtexasranger!
I just bought Mr. stoneyburke an IPOD for his birthday, only because our free radio stations are crap and he still drives to work.
As to TIVO, I don't get that, literally and figuratively. It tapes and tapes and tapes. So when exactly do I have all this time to WATCH what it tapes? OH, and did you all who have it know that it communicates your preferences back to Big Brother from whence it comes?
Thanks, my privacy is already being sufficiently invaded, I don't want to pay for it too.

jdb1, I can't even look at Animal Planet anymore. I'm getting more adverse to violence as I get older, not less. I never was able to watch Old Yeller and never will. I can't watch one more antelope being brought down by one more lion.
Interesting on Seinfeld. When it first started, I thought it had a 'New Yawk' sensibility. I didn't think it would play to all of America, since (well, I'm **** everyone off here today anyway, may as well continue) I thought it depicted how I thought of New Yawkers, including myself. But lo and behold, it became a hit and I was surprised.
As to Friends, I liked it before it got stupid with the Monica and Chandler storyline. But I still love Seinfeld, perhaps more than ever. But hey, opinions are what this place is all about, so by all means those who don't like Seinfeld (or Elizabeth Taylor or Charlie Chaplin
) should speak up...dontcha think???dolores

With me, bradtexasranger, it's a none-too-bright resistance to new technology, which I find is often replaced as soon as I buy the new geegaw.
That's okay, Ipcress, I passed on Woodstock!!

Thank you, GM, for your gentility and kindness.
Perhaps I should have compared ET to Marilyn Monroe. No, I don't find ET that talented. I just scanned IMDb, to see what I missed. With the exception of a few pretty good roles, no I wouldn't RUSH to my teevee if one of her movies was being shown on TCM, as with Jean Arthur or Carole Lombard.
She was okay, but 'immensely' talented, no.....not in my opinion. I think she got much more attention that she ordinarily would have because of her looks, her gorgeous eyes, and her wonderful ta-ta's. As did Ms. MM.
Therefore, I abjectly prostrate myself on the cold stone floor in a self-flaggelating mea culpa at comparing ET to the stupid cow Anna Nicole. I was thinking ta-ta's, not talent or even looks.
Sorry for befouling this thread.

but don't currently have either DVD or CD player.
Nor do I, bradtexasranger. Some day, I'll have to join the 21st century. But by that time, BluRay (Bob and Ray?) will have replaced DVD technology.
Oh yes, better a blue screen than watching (merely) the ghost of the birth of our damn universe!
Cooool, man.

Yes, jdb1, I remember 'Big Red'! I wasn't allowed a pet, and so had them vicariously.
moirafinnie6, yes -- did you read 'Thunderhead'? Loved it. No, I never read 'Beautiful Joe'. A current dog book, 'Marley and Me', is supposed to be good.
Ah, the 'Born Free' books, with their graphic pictures which really affected me at the time. Wasn't Joy killed by poachers and her husband mauled by a lion? How sad.

Jealousy??? Get out of the sun, path.
By the way, last I looked, these threads allow for opinions. You know, everyone's got one?
Your post came off as extremely pompous, I'm surprised at that. I thought better of you.

I am sorry, TMN.

More recently, I never got "Seinfeld" or "Friends." I didn't find them funny. Based on conversations with others I have contemplated therapy.
Good one, movieman1957. Seinfeld might be a 'love it or hate it' type of show. I think it's brilliant, but others have been known to look for my second head when I go on and on about it.
patful, how lucky of you to have outgrown sweets! It's my unrelenting vice, always was and always will be, I fear.

Thanks, movieman1957 for the correction.
Interesting.

No! Hmmm, that makes two more movies on the 'look see' list! Thanks, Rusty.

moirafinnie6, I loved 'Lad: A Dog'. I read it at the same time I was reading the Farley and O'Hara horse stories. Good books indeed.

Did you think she had immense talent? You thought she had depth?
Hmmmm, I didn't.
I thought she had more doors opened to her because of her looks. Men didn't fall at her feet because of her...immense talent. Well, not her acting talent. I admire her for her ability to land men and to be given the Taylor-Burton Diamond...but immense talent? Nah. There are other female actors who could act rings around her.
I was comparing her to the bimbo moronic no talent hack Anna Nicole because of the breaks she gets due to her looks. Come on, do you THINK for one minute the Supreme Court would entertain her suit if she was ugly?

GM, you just hafta watch Freaks, especially the ending!! Brilliant stuff. Tough to watch, but cool nonetheless. Forrest Gump made me retch. Box of chocolates my aunt fanny.
If grit is war and action movies, I guess I'm glam and fantasy and noir and stuff.

True, moveiman1957, Cagney was to Bogey as Grant was to...everyone else!
Cagney could do comedy and drama and musicals without breaking a sweat, as could Grant.
Bogey was, well, Bogey.
