MissGoddess Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 It's all worked out. When I appear in court it will be in that nice, frumpy little suit my counsellor bought for me (he bought me a girdle, too) and low heels and glasses and a nice dumpy hat. They will ALL feel sorry for me. You don't stand a chance. BTW, Laura's still looking for that Merc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Even though you are looking quite frumpy in that outfit of yours, I'm still very confident in the case. Here's my lawyer: And, oh, by the way, I don't need Laura's Mercedes anymore. I've found someone to give me a lift. She can be rather tough when it comes to compliments, though. She's been known to turn her head. C'est la vie. Oh, I mean, uhh, not every jack's a cant-hook man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 At least you didn't call her a "jackpot of admirable character traits." Your compliments are improving. And don't think my lawyer's going to let any city slicker sheister intimidate me when I get on the stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 THE MARCH OF GRIMES! Glad you've included the largely forgotten YOUNG AND INNOCENT on your list. It's one of his very best, and fits the style of my favorites. 39 STEPS, SABOTEUR, LADY VANISHES. I love REAR WINDOW. PSYCHO. STRANGERS ON A TRAIN is a trip! But the "man on the run" stories are so exciting and clever. Just thinking about them makes me smile. Or maybe that's gas! When I say largely forgotten, perhaps I should qualify. Afficianados know it. Classic film fans do. But who "out there" has seen this wonderful British export? I, myself, have only recently come across it. I very much recommend it to anybody who has yet to have the pleasure. RR Message was edited by: redriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankGrimes Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm not too concerned with you on the stand anymore. Let's just say I've talked to one of your "friends." She helped fill in some blanks for me. Yeah, it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 RedRiver! RedRiver! RedRum! RedRum! I included every Hitch film that I've seen in my rankings. Young and Innocent is one of my favorites from Hitch's pre-Hollywood years for the same reason as you give, I'm a big fan of Hitch's "man on the run with an untrusting woman" films. Young and Innocent isn't on the level of The 39 Steps, but I do think it's quite underrated. I like the ending. The family party scene is amusing and rather charming.

MissGoddess Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 "Get off the panties now, Mr. Dancer". LOL! When I heard the line in the movie it didn't really hit me as funny but seeing it written out like that I just lost it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Forced confessions cannot be used in evidence. And you wouldn't want me to bring up in court that fox fur you gave me back in Washington Heights. It could prove to be very embarrassing for you and discredit your motives entirely.

redriver Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 "No one can like the drummer man can." Not on the level of 39 STEPS? I suppose you're right. That's the master's masterpiece. But YOUNG AND WILLING is very much like it. And just about as good as anything else he's done. I read the dialogue in 39 STEPS influenced a slew of lighthearted films to come. The playfully adversarial banter between man and woman was emulated for years. Maybe still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey, when you guys type a lot of stuff here on a thread with big pictures on it, why don't you insert paragraph breaks in your text so your lines will show up like this instead of like this: This is an example of a long sentence that doesn't have any paragraph breaks inserted into it, and you see what happens with the long lines when they show up on these photo threads.

FrankGrimes Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi, Dobbsy -- I don't know how to do paragraph breaks. Is it this or ? Oh, I guess both work. I used the "P" break and the "BR" break. "BR" is the one to use, since it doesn't add a space. I'll try to do that for now on. Thanks for the advice.

FredCDobbs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 At the end of about one screen-width of type, just hit "Enter" and that will give you a paragraph break. To type a sentence on a post with a photo, type the text then type the code: left arrow BR right arrow But use the arrow symbols < and the right one (can't type the right one here because that is a code to give me a quote box) Put the letters BR in-between the left and right arrows. That will give you a paragraph break before showing the picture. You can separate photos that way too, by using the left arrow BR right arrow code in-between them.

FredCDobbs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ok, here's the secret "reduce in size" code: <img src=http://i21.tinypic.com/9zr7n7.jpg height =300 width =425> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 You have to change the numbers on the code to change the size and shape of the photo. Leave spaces where the code shows spaces. Use left arrow to start the code and right arrow to end it. Place the url address right after the first = sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey, Dobbsy -- I didn't know you could manipulate the size of a photo in the posting code. I use Photobucket, so I'll see if I can do this. As of now, I resize my photos (rarely) with Microsoft's Digital Image. I don't worry about the size (careless) of an image in a thread that features large images already. Miss G is someone who posts photos similarly to mine in size, so I don't worry about my image size on her threads. When I'm posting photos on a thread where no photos have been posted yet, I try to reduce the size in an effort to keep the thread's boundaries. I'm still trying to figure which size best fits the board and image quality. As for screen capturing, I have used both Power DVD and Windows Media Player. I was using Power DVD a lot because it has a shuttle option, which really helps one go through a film with speed while also allowing one to go frame-by-frame better. Of late, I've been using Windows Media Player because the caps from it upload quicker to Photobucket. I think this has to do with the size of the files and the format. I haven't researched it yet. I also haven't figured out how to activate "closed captioning" with Power DVD. I didn't post captions with my grabs when I first started posting them on the board, but I've since become fascinated with providing the words of a cap (scene) with the image. I think it's a fun way to talk to people on the board. I can also pretend to be Cary Grant for a little while. Now that's a bonus. For example, I overheard a conversation this evening between Doberman and BronxGirl. It looks like she's moving back to the old neighborhood. Of all the caps I have posted on this board, this one is my favorite and will never be topped. It's MY Grace with her big white sunglasses.

FredCDobbs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I like your captions very much. Your slide shows look like movies. Here's your Grace picture reduced to 400 x 650: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankGrimes Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I like your captions very much. Your slide shows look like movies. Thanks, Dobbsy. I never thought of them as slide shows, but you're right. They do play like that. I think the reason why my Power DVD grabs take longer to upload is because they are "bitmap" and the Windows Media Player grabs are "jpeg." The photo of MY Grace is a "bitmap" but my photo of Doberman is "jpeg." I like right-clicking on a photo and then selecting "Properties" to see the size of a photo and what the photo is named. It has helped me figure out who is who in photos sometimes. That is, if the person names the file in line with their image. I usually name my files after the films I'm taking grabs from. By the way, I have been using the hard break (ENTER -- no code) to keep my words on the screen. Thanks for the tip. This is 520x293: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
