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?

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.

When I was a kid, my parents had a Smothers Brothers record that I used to love to listen to (knowing their politics, I can't imagine what the hell they were doing with it!) 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?

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:

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

I love that movie. And that is one of the best girl fights ever filmed, with the exception of Dietrich and Una Merkal in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN...

On this date in 1925, the Scopes Monkey Trial ended with a guilty verdict, which was later overturned. Given the current political climate, I thought it apropos to post this scene from INHERIT THE WIND. Spencer Tracy and Frederivck March chew the scenery like the hams they were, but a valid point is being made...
(oh heck. is that too political? Oh well...)

Actually, I guess you could RIGHT click to highlight and click "copy". Then come back here, right click again and click "paste". Try that...

LOL again. My dogs are going to start giving me funny looks soon...

Came across this pic of Bogie, Bacall and Marilyn at the premiere of HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE and couldn;t resist!

I upload my pics to photobucket, then click the direct link "button" (it offeres a couple of different options), then paste here and add an ! at each end

> First, remaking the story in Technicolor seems to be a rather good idea. One does not exactly buy the March sisters being so poor and downtrodden in the Katharine Hepburn version from 1933. After all, they resided in a most affluent neighborhood and with the help of their begrudging aunt, they did not seem even remotely middle class. So if the June Allyson version seems a bit more opulent because it is in color, I can live with it, because I see them as industrious and prosperous regardless of their current circumstances.

> Next, the casting is almost better in this version. Margaret O'Brien is very good; very fragile, vulnerable and believable as the sick sister. She should seem youngest and most helpless, even if that is not how Alcott wrote it. So I would not say she is miscast at all. I found the Beth in the '33 version to be too mature and matronly, actually. Her death was still sad but not as heartbreaking as watching little Margaret O'Brien die.
My main complaints with the 1949 version are June Allyson (she just annoys me) and a blonde and extremely busty Elizabeth Taylor. Just can't get past those two things...

That's not a bad plan, Benson. I received a book a while back listing 500 "must-see" movies and I started working my way through those. It was a good experience--I found myself watching movies I never would have watched because of their genre (war and western movies--yuck). But I actually enjoyed some of them--MY DARLING CLEMENTINE, FORT APACHE and BATTLEGROUND are three new favorites, all because of that book.

I remembered where I saw The Scarlett OHara War re ently-it was in the GWTW 70th Anniversary box set...

Just had to giggle a little trying to imagine Selznick coping with Bette...
Course if she had been Scarlett, Warner's would have done it & so it would be a moot point, but still...

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
