> {quote:title=jamesjazzguitar wrote:}{quote}Thanks for posting this. I'll have to go over it in detail. But right when I opened it I saw this: > > Certainly, I think one scene of husbandly rape is enough. > > Now, I used the term 'rape' a while back with regards to the Rhett up the stairs scene, and I felt I might of offended some people, especially women that viewed the relationship between Rhett and Scarlett as romantic. > > So I found it interesting that in these memos a spade was called a spade. Yeah they do. That scene has always bothered me, mostly because Rhett was such a likeable scoundrel through most of the rest of it. (And I was in love with Clark Gable...)

Here's a PDF of some of the actual memos he wrote about GWTW...on pg 8 of the PDF is part of a memo explaining why he couldn't get Bette. I wish the entire thing was posted. I'm going to have to get a copy of the book! http://www.umsl.edu/~gradyf/film/Selznick_memos.pdf

> {quote:title=bagladymimi wrote:}{quote}Thanks for the info Tracey. I just ordered a used paperback of "Moviola" from Amazon for $.01 + shipping and handling. I really like the way Garson Kanin writes and am sure I will enjoy all of the stories. It starts off oddly, but stick with it. It's worth it!

Can you imagine the memos he'd have written?? LOL

The only classic movie I can think of with a royal baby scene is Sleeping Beauty and that's a cartoon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47ihLo5Emw BTW here's a link to a picture of the newest royal, if you're interested He looks like a baby...LOL http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-fg-kate-middleton-royal-baby-pictures,0,2627622.photogallery?index=la-fg-kate-middleton-royal-baby-pictures-029

Happy Birthday to Gloria DeHaven! It's also the birthday of Raymond Chandler, so here's to those bad girls of film noir:

No problem...

Tallulah!

A&W was a franchise chain similar to McDonalds and that particular franchise location was owned by a man named McDonald. Oh man. I remember A&W. We used to go there on Sunday nights after church sometimes. My grandfather was a pretty big man and it used to amaze me that he could eat 3 feet of chili dogs at a single sitting! LOL

Being from Ohio myself, Ive always appreciated this one... I know just what she's talking about. And the guitar riffs are pretty good too.

That's 'cause she was so "savage..."Have you ever seen the whole movie? It's kind of a hoot.

Is this the one you meant?

> {quote:title=EugeniaH wrote:}{quote}How do you guys get the writing inside the picture? It looks way too technical for me... If you have a photo program, like Photoshop (or even something simpler, like what comes with most digital cameras) you can use the "add text" feature to do it.Here's a free program called Photofiltre I have used when I don;t want to mess with Photoshop. It's pretty easy. http://photofiltre.en.softonic.com/

Anyway...everytime I hear the name Laredo, I always think of their version of "Streets of Laredo." I couldn't find just Laredo, but enjoy...

Kate on a penny farthing. I have no idea what movie this was taken during (is that grammatically correct?) but I'd guess sometime in the 40's?

With that, the Maid-Rite was born. Fred was quite a sandwich maker but not much of a speller." We had Burger Chef around here (Burger Chef and Jeff!) before we had McDonalds. and something called Scottie Boy (possibly), which I think was supposed to be competition for White Castle with 17 cent burgers. They didn't last too long.

I have this one dvr'ed (along with a BUNCH of other!). I am really looking forward to watching it, especially after reading the comments here.

Max--I'm sure somebody has asked you this before, but are any of these wonderful posters from your own collection?

Wow. Lucy managed to combine glamour AND comedy in that one! LOL

Some of our faves in their later roles...featuring an aging, yet still fab Gable, Bogie, Bette and Joan, Vivien, Tracy and Hepburn and William POwell, among others And in a completely different direction, a very well-done fan trailer for 1932's FREAKS:

Ruth Elizabeth Davis, reflecting on herself, at age six...

Nice you two. VP, I especially like the new twist on the Paris Hilton one...
