coopsgirl Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, the the kitchen is still a mess (most of the old countertops are gone) but they got the new pantry and cabinets in and so far it looks pretty good. The new upholstery I ordered for my chaise lounge is in so I'll go pick it up this weekend. Hopefully we'll be home more in the coming weeks since there won't be any workers there everyday for a while. I get sick of eating out too much b/c I'm so used to home cooking. It's pretty hard to cook though when most of your counterspace is gone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Howdy, Trex -- So what is it you guys use this thread for? Gimme the executive summary. Playground. Tag, you're it! But, while I'm not gonna go back over 111 pages, I'm not seeing much ridicule in here. Needless to say, disappointment abounds. "Disappointment Abounds" is my theme song. Been in a westerns kind of mood lately, for some reason.... 1. Springfield Rifle - Gary Cooper (always in the mood for Gary Cooper!) 2. She Tied a Yellow Ribbon - John Wayne 3. The Searchers - John Wayne Let me know when you start watching good westerns. Okay...so I wandered in here for the first time today, having a bit of free time on my hands (incredible in itself lately) and hoping to get the opportunity to ridicule and mock Frank Grimes, who is in dire need of massive quantities of mocking ridicule. I mean, anyone who cannot see the breathtaking talent and beauty of Gary Cooper is truly deserving of any and all ridicule thrown his way, as far as I am concerned.

FrankGrimes Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Good chilly day to you, Miss Cold Shoulders -- See you 'round the American Express. In that case, no! Is that Criterion version, hmmmm? The picture looks sharp enough to be. Internet. I love the daily kitten! Now I know where to go to escape the sharp claws of, ahem, some. In the mean time, it's become a sort of catch-all thread for musings on bicycles, anoles, breakfast cereal, John Wayne, angry mittens, Greer Garson and daily kittens. Some of which is torture for FrankGrimes. So why did you leave out "snippiness"? Ohhhhhh, that's why. Thank you for the frigid felicitations Frank. That cap almost makes up for the wording.

FrankGrimes Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hey, Bronx Blossom -- Of course plants have thoughts. Didn't you ever see Kevin Kostner thinking? Oh yes, my lasts...very hard, but let me try. Last meal: it would have to be many courses of one dinner: appetizers would start out with homemade chicken noodle soup and saltines, chopped chicken liver on rye bread, roast chicken or turkey with gravy, stuffing, corn souffle, brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes, french fries too, hot buttermilk biscuits oozing with melted butter. then for dessert Brie and red grapes, followed by chocolate mousse. I actually could eat most of that meal. That's not a good sign for you. Last actress: I'm working on this. Last actress? No, no, no. Last actor. But we all know it's Kevin Costner under the Tuscan sun. Last film: Ditto, but maybe the 1933 LITTLE WOMEN. Little Women?! Say what?! No horror or sci-fi? I'm disappointed. So Alma and Hitch were both Leos. Yes, ma'am. They were born one day apart. I get along well with that sign. You get along with everyone except... Too bad you don't have it in your chart. I guess we'll have to continue not getting along then. I'm sure insanity gallops in Frank's family. Thankfully, yes. Who needs sanity? But things could be far worse. I could like Mary Cooper or Crappy Pappy or the Cowardly Cowboy or the Homewreckin' ****. And, yes, let us know what you think of the psycho film, Random Harvest. Can you believe Greer Garson falls for a serial killer? I always thought ButterscotchGreer was sweet, but I have since learned differently. She likes the most horrible films ever made. They are full of awful life lessons. I just wish that girl would be nice for a change instead of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Natural look indeed...trust me, that ballerina has on a ton of makeup. And a facial treatment, for your information, is what one has before applying the "natural look" (which requires twice as much makeup as the unnatural look). And a snow facial beats the latest in trendy facials in Manhattan: Bird Poop. I'm not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your natural ice should work well for you. And a snow facial beats the latest in trendy facials in Manhattan: Bird Poop. I'm not kidding. So that is why you have ten bird feeders outside your windows? Now it all makes sense! Don't ask me how I know this. Note to self: don't kiss Manhattan women.

They say the treatment is from Japan and from Japanese imported bird poop. I guess they think Manhattan pidgeons aren't chic enough. Note to self: don't kiss Manhattan women.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Oh, butterscotch, I just loved RANDOM HARVEST. Now Jimmy Cagney was great in YDD, but Ronald should have gotten an Oscar for this, as well as Greer. Such graceful, unpretentious performances radiating true emotions. What I love about Greer is her ability to seem so accessible somehow, while maintaining a certain dignity that is never stuffy. She just sparkles. Beautifully directed. I love Angela and Julie in dramas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Goddess, I cannot say enough about the beauty and poetic overtones of RANDOM HARVEST. It is truly one of the best Hollywood romances, a timeless classic that is very haunting. Greer is really in a class by herself as an actress; I can't compare her to anyone else. I was so very taken (as you mentioned) by the subtleties in Colman's portrayal early on, but I thought he shifted brilliantly between Rainier and Smithy. The poignancy and wistfulness of his search for emotional connection and fulfillment was beautifully realized by him. I adore his performance more than I can say.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Oh, that Moe!!! I'm getting warm, lol. Nah, that was only in my weird teen dreams...... Now it's only Duke and Brian!! For a guilty pleasure, check out Comrade Keith in METEOR. At first you think, Brian Keith as a Soviet scientist?? But IT WORKS! Why? Because he's simutaneously hammy AND believable, enjoying the role (and actually speaking Russian) yet absolutely NAILING the body language. You'd think Natalie was Ninotchka the way she eyes the pretty scarf of a (vapid) blonde co-worker, and then later puts one on to entice 007. Sean gives a take-the-money-and-run performance. They try to make Nat drab; unsuccessfully, of course, lol. She gives the most understated performance while everyone is SCREECHING. (and amazingly, Martin Landau outdoes Karl in that department) Horrible spfx; risible all around. A truly wonderful bad movie.
