(love Ruck as Cameron) I really appreciate the ending -- Ferris telling us to go home. My take on what he really means is: "You just watched a movie, now return to reality and seize the day!" If you ever get a chance to watch *Communion* I highly recommend it, especially if you like the idea of a wacky movie about people-snatching aliens and UFO's paying a visit to Christopher Walken, making him even more wacky along the way. It practically begs for the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. And I also loved Ruck as Cameron, particularly that crazy look he gets on his face when Ferris wrecks his dad's convertible, it's priceless. I can't even remember how many times we watched that movie back in high school. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Whoa, be still, my heart! It's been 20 years since I've used a VCR; now that I have one, I'm trying to figure out how to use it again, because I won't be home this evening and want to record STARS IN MY CROWN. I also missed those early a.m. better Kays because of this, and also Karloff in THE GHOUL. See you later; I'm watching my Paulie overact in A SONG TO REMEMBER. (for an excellent interpretation of an absent-minded professor, Paul Lukas in the '33 LITTLE WOMEN is the benchmark; one of my favorite screen performances) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohanaka Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 allergies Hello there Barb!! You have my sympathies on the allergies. Living as I do in the Ragweed Capital of the World..I can only say...AH--CHOO! As far as I'm concerned, the first good heavy freeze ought to be declared a national holiday. :-) But you probably have a bit longer of a wait for that way down south. At least out here we get the winter to recover from all the Fall allergies before Spring comes along and starts kicking everybody in the pants again. How do you guys get buy out in the land of sunny beaches and such?? With no frost to kill the allergies??? Maybe THAT's what the Hurricanes are for???? To blow out all the dust and pollen????) Ok--I never said Science was my strongest subject :-) But seriously..hope you are on the mend soon. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterscotchgreer Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 frankie-i-never-lie-furter!!! *I really like that one photo of Smithy getting ready to strangle Paula with the* *necklace. That's my favorite scene!* you looked at the picture and saw hat in their eyes!! you need glasses frankie, not trying to be mean or anything. heehee! seriously, though, look into their eyes, they are so in love they dont even know it themselves! "charles" gave her that nacklace for a reason, he loved her, he just wasnt surely why he loved her so muhc. he knew he loved her that much for a reason... this is why he sough out that reason by going back to the asylum to trace his steps. so there! dont ruin my philosophy, i worked hard on it. heehee! *Your nosey is growing.* yeah? well your pants have too many holes from catching on fire! *Say what? You can't find a trashier film than Pride and Prejudice. It's filthy.* "silence in this case, would have been more agreeable." ~Elizabeth herself. heehee! no, they are clean, its your pants that are filthy. heehee! *First off, stop talking to the pretend doll. It's bad for you. Secondly, films like* *Pride and Prejudice teach young girls to be snippy snobs. That's not cute.* dahlink, april is not a pretend doll! she is real! and she will summon the ephalents to trample you if you think otherwse...ill get the caramel! thats right, you better be scared!! heehee! second of all, P&P is not a trashy film fit to teach girls snobbery! that happens to be false accusation. it is about not judging your future husband before you kiss him. heehee! not really. its much more than that, but in this case, especially in that picture, Elizabeth is being snobbish, b/c she has too! she is telling him the way it is and the snobbish way he was being toward her and her sisters, even thought he did so inadvertently, so there! THEYRE IN LOVE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! they must at least practice communicational skills. heehee! i love watching that scene and repeating every line she says to him.......he needed a good talking too....like a frankie i know around here...

MissGoddess Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 _Scotchie_, did you see that Greer and Walter were on this morning in *Scandal at Scourie* and that they are showing several of Walter's films? *If Winter Comes* is on now and I wish I'd recorded it because I like it. I believe Paul Muni did an earlier version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterscotchgreer Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 april answer this for me, so FRANKIE can see it....do thye look snobbish to you? NO! thnak you. heehee! *Scotchie, did you see that Greer and Walter were on this morning in Scandal at Scourie and* *that they are showing several of Walter's films? If Winter Comes is on now and I wish I'd* *recorded it because I like it. I believe Paul Muni did an earlier version.* yes i saw that it was on this morning, unfortunately, i was getting ready for school. i wish i could have watched it. i just love them in this movie. they are in technicolor and truely in love....again. heehee! this is one of the ones i particularly favor, b/c it really shows their relationship throughout the movie along with adopting a little girl outside their religion, and then it is tested from the people in their town getting on their case...tsk, tsk, thats horrible. i thought it was sweet, they adopted her! to see the lok on greer's face when she did.....aawwwww!!! i knew paul muni did an earlier version of If Winter Comes, but i havent seen it in a while. i think, if im not wrong, gramdmama has a copy of it in her library, but i have to ask. but i dont exactly remember if that was it or not. now i have to do it, or else it will bother me. heehee! i didnt particularly like If winter Comes though, they make Walter out to be this bad person when he really isnt in the movie, falsely accusing him of things. i just didnt like it, it made me too sad, but i still respect the movie, b/c it was put together with great hands and there is great acting by walter, janet leigh, and deborah kerr. i thought they made a cute couple, but i think he was paired better with greer....my opinion of course. heehee! i just think they were one of the cutest couples around!

Wasn't Angela in it, too? I thought I saw her playing the mean wife, or was that Deborah? I didn't have time to look closely. It is a depressing film (both versions are, in fact). How many cups?

It is a depressing film (both versions are, in fact).* yes angela is in it too, and thats actually one of the main head reasons i wanted to see the movie, but they made her so mean! she played this cruel wife and i wanted her to be deborah's part! although i would never put down poor deborah kerr, i just wanted angela to get with walter this time. banana oil! but she was reallllllllly pretty in it. heehee! *How many cups?

FrankGrimes Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hiya, Too Naughty -- I really like that one photo of Smithy getting ready to strangle Paula with the necklace. That's my favorite scene! you looked at the picture and saw hat in their eyes!! That's what happens! you need glasses frankie, not trying to be mean or anything. heehee! seriously, though, look into their eyes, they are so in love they dont even know it themselves! They're not in love. That was an "arranged" marriage. "charles" gave her that nacklace for a reason, he loved her, he just wasnt surely why he loved her so muhc. He was merely giving her a gift of appreciation. There was no sentiment attached to it. Even SHE knows that. It's you who needs their eyes checked, Silly Goose. he knew he loved her that much for a reason... this is why he sough out that reason by going back to the asylum to trace his steps. so there! dont ruin my philosophy, i worked hard on it. heehee! He went back to asylum to find more victims. That's where his murderous heart's at. Say what? You can't find a trashier film than Pride and Prejudice. It's filthy. "silence in this case, would have been more agreeable." ~Elizabeth herself. heehee! Spoken just like a snob with her nose in the air. I'm used to this kind of talk. dahlink, april is not a pretend doll! she is real! and she will summon the ephalents to trample you if you think otherwse...ill get the caramel! thats right, you better be scared!! heehee! Your pretend doll is a witch? Now I've heard it all. second of all, P&P is not a trashy film fit to teach girls snobbery! that happens to be false accusation. It's one of the filthiest films I have ever seen. I cannot believe TCM plays it. I worry for the poor young girls who happen to watch this trash and then grow up to be snobs. it is about not judging your future husband before you kiss him. heehee! not really. Not really is right. She judges him more than anyone. its much more than that, but in this case, especially in that picture, Elizabeth is being snobbish, b/c she has too! She "has to"? Thank you Jane Austen for creating another snobby girl. And a snobby girl from Texas is the worst. she is telling him the way it is and the snobbish way he was being toward her and her sisters, even thought he did so inadvertently, so there! That's because EVERYONE in a Jane Austen story is a snippy snob. You have to watch film noir to find some warmth. THEYRE IN LOVE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! they must at least practice communicational skills. heehee! So a girl who turns her back on a man with her nose sticking straight up in the air is "communicating"? I guess in the world of Jane Austen it is. It's no wonder there are no more nice girls left. i love watching that scene and repeating every line she says to him.......he needed a good talking too....like a frankie i know around here... You have your back turned right now, don't you? Why can't you be a nice girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I loved the technicolor- Greer's hair was so gorgeously colored. I liked seeing Rhys Williams- he is a favorite of mine. I pretty much like any movie he is in. Ian Wolfe was not playing a butler, so that was really something different! The whole thing was very sweet, and shows what a couple of pros like Pidgeon and Garson could do with fairly standard material. I have unfortunately been falling asleep during every movie I wanted to see lately. My daughter coughed and coughed all night long so all I got were bits and pieces of movies. Stars in my Crown started out great, but then about the time that Alan Hale was helping Juano Hernandez rebuild his farm, Kay Francis and William Powell came around the corner, being chased by Warren Hymer. They were spending a romantic night, before going back to San Francisco to fight with Robert Taylor in the Civil War! I really have got to see a movie all the way through one of these days.

I agree about Greer's hair, it is the most beautiful fiery red and it's absolutely gorgeous - I would love to have such marvelous hair. I'm sorry that you have not been quite awake for some of these movies, hopefully they will be shown again someday soon, if you did not get a chance to record.
