MissGoddess Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi CM---I've seen all those docs before, but I recorded them so now they are in my collection. Great, great stuff there. I can't recommend them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I hope the Belgian Waffle looks as good on my walls as it does in my mouth for breakfast (with bacon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love waffles with bacon bits in them, you get the creaminess and nuttiness of the waffle together with the salty tang of the pork meat,... I'm hoping this color will indeed bring a warm glow to not only my apartment, but make any dates I bring back here think I'm ten years younger.

rohanaka Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 too bad they can't infuse the aroma of the waffles into the paint (at least until it dries anyway) I hate that new paint smell....but the color sounds very nice..hope it all turns out the way you want it.

Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love candlelight and always have many candles of different scents and sizes around, so I'm hoping the Belgian Waffle will become more golden and elegantly warm in the flickering illumination! And I think it'll be versatile all year round, especially during the winter holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We're bracing for Hurricane Hannah, Ike, and two others....Geez..... But I'm putting up my autumn decor next week anyway, after the paint job. Apparently many women fell hard for Tracy, but he would never leave his wife.

Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I also wouldn't mind the smell of fresh brewed coffee and melted butter into that mix! Thanx for your good wishes, Kathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 As I was searching for the perfect paint color, I was actually thinking like Myrna in BLANDINGS -- when I was frying an egg for breakfast I thought to myself the yolk would be the exact color I wanted for the walls. But then I backtracked because that would have been too orange-y. You know what my mother said when I told her I wanted a warm golden-ish color? "Well, that might look good in an 18th century colonial home, but not in your Florida apartment. After all, you don't have any real antiques or fancy furniture". But I wasn't upset at her, thanks to Claude Rains in NOW, VOYAGER, who taught me, like he did Charlotte, how to unemotionally stand up to this sort of passive aggressive undercutting; I replied, "It's too bad you and Dad's family never had the money to buy a nice home to hand down to your children".

Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Unfortunately I don't have wood floors, but carpet -- in a rose color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 B.G.: "But I wasn't upset at her, thanks to Claude Rains in NOW, VOYAGER, who taught me, like he did Charlotte, how to unemotionally stand up to this sort of passive aggressive undercutting; I replied, "It's too bad you and Dad's family never had the money to buy a nice home to hand down to your children." WoW!!! What a fantastic line. See, when we're little we can't fight back. When we come adults...look out mom, dad. B.G.: "I'm hoping this color will indeed bring a warm glow to not only my apartment, but make any dates I bring back here think I'm ten years younger." You probably don't need that. Just make sure you pick a nice mature man who knows who Barrymore, Fonda, Rossellini, Carradine are and I don't mean Drew, Peter, Isabella or Keith.

lzcutter Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 *If you watched the first five hours of TCM this morning (starting at 6:00AM) you got a nice overview of five of the great Hollywood directors on TCM's "The Men Who Made the Movies" series. Did anyone catch the documentaries on:>> * Cinemaven, I've not seen the one with Sam Fuller though one of these days I hope to. I saw the other five (and the rest of the series) when it was shown on PBS about 35 years ago. It's when I fell in love with Wild Bill Wellman and Raoul Walsh. I already was a big Hawks fan. I enjoyed King Vidor's interview more than I enjoy most of his movies. I love his silents but the majority of his talkies are not as memorable to me. Cukor and Minnelli were very gracious and came across as gentlemen where as Wild Bill and Raoul came across as two guys who got lucky, became filmmakers and had the time of their lives. Others in the series include Frank Capra (whose ego far out strips the size of your television even if you have a 60 inch screen) and Alfred Hitchcock. I think there was one other interview in the series (Fuller is a new addition and wasn't part of the original series) but I can't remember who and my companion book is somewhere but not on the bookshelf where it should be.

CineMaven Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 At 5:00am, before the TCM screenings, PBS (ch. 13 here in NYC) showed "American Cinema" which was a 10-part series. This episode: "The Hollywood Style." I just LOVE this stuff. I just plain love classic films!!! Message was edited by: CineMaven--My error. I meant to say on CUNY-TV, NOT PBS.

Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Loved my sweetie Richard Basehart in TIME LIMIT -- he gives an excellent performance, full of inner torment just a hair's breath of the breaking point. Didn't know Karl Malden was the director! (and he did a pretty good job) I couldn't believe the frankness with which June Lockhart tells Widmark about her marital relationship; but since this movie was made the year after THE MOON IS BLUE came out, some barriers were already broken. (until the year after TIME LIMIT, Otto would really expand the boundaries with ANATOMY OF A MURDER, lol, "get off the panties now, you've caused enough trouble") Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Where was Dr. Jaquith when we needed him all those years ago, lol? A mature man -- I wonder if that's a contradiction in terms....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film_Fatale Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I couldn't think of any other place to ask, so I'll ask here: what's with all the football movies being shown today on TCM? Is there some significance to this date, or was it just totally random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I called hubby and he didn't know why they are showing all this football-y stuff on TCM. But he is not a total football freak he just likes playoffs and such. Thank you, Bronxie. I just had to get that off my mind. Sometimes it's crowded in there.... Speaking of minds, I could certainly use Dr. Jacquith here most of the time. He should move in. Parents and hubbies can be so difficult... I caught most of the Men Who Made the Movies, and enjoyed every minute. I still Love Raoul Walsh- now that's the man for me! His eyepatch was so sexy! I even want to see a Sam Fuller movie now. Hitch was the other director.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I couldn't think of any other place to ask, so I'll ask here: what's with all the football movies being shown today on TCM? Is there some significance to this date, or was it just totally random? The NFL kicks off tomorrow with the Redskins at the Giants and the rest of the league starts on Sunday and Monday. I'm guessing TCM Programmer scheduled a day of football films since it's the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankGrimes Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi, Jackie -- I finally got to read your M-The Third Man comparison last night. I'm glad that I did because what a wonderful read it is. I never thought to connect the two films but you made a very compelling case. I'm glad others pointed your piece out because I doubt I would have found it. I even want to see a Sam Fuller movie now. A dame that likes M and The Third Man is going to like her some Fuller. I'm very confident in you liking Pickup on South Street. And if you do, I'm be worried because that would mean you liked three of my top ten classic films of all time. Tread lightly.

JackFavell Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 And if you do, I'm be worried because that would mean you liked three of my top ten classic films of all time. Tread lightly. That makes me worried, too. I was going to start my Sam Fullerfest with The Big Red One (I thought Lee Marvin might be a good draw for me) but it seems to be 163 minutes long and now I'm doubting that I should start there..... I'm also a sort of Holocaust movie freak. It's strange but I've seen almost all the Holocaust movies made. Except The Big Red One. Oh my gosh, did you just see the preview for Jewel Robbery? It looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzcutter Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Jackie, *The Big Red One* is an great film. Lee Marvin is terrific. Fuller was in the unit during the war and the movie is based on his experiences. I hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Come zither, Jackie M -- Thank you, Sportsfella. You're welcome, Filmgala. Nice to see you. Are you trying to sweeten me up for the kill? It's always a pleasure to see you. Where have you been, anyway? I notice you have been "busy" lately. I've had many family outings the past two weeks. And once you miss a few days on the board, you find yourself playing catch up. You are much better at getting back in the flow than I. I was going to start my Sam Fullerfest with The Big Red One (I thought Lee Marvin might be a good draw for me) but it seems to be 163 minutes long and now I'm doubting that I should start there..... ChiO is the guy to consult for Fuller. He can tell you what each dish on the Fuller menu tastes like. All I can say is that if you like The Third Man and M, you'll like Pickup on South Street. You will also like Fuller's message. I'm also a sort of Holocaust movie freak. It's strange but I've seen almost all the Holocaust movies made. Except The Big Red One. That's very interesting. I struggle to watch such films. Oh my gosh, did you just see the preview for Jewel Robbery? It looks great! Who do you think you're talking to, Miss G? Don't tell me I sound snippy today. Hola, Filmme Fatale -- The start of the season - that must be it! Glad that there's someone in the forums who knows about football There are a few of us around. My problem is knowing about classic film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I will definitely watch *Pickup* first. It's one of the movies everyone on TCM talks about, and I need to know about it. I struggle to watch such films. It's a kind of compulsion, I think. I guess I just want to understand why? and there is no real answer to that. Are you trying to sweeten me up for the kill? Naw. You are sweet enough as it is. Just don't turn your back.... You are much better at getting back in the flow than I. NOT! I just get obsessed. I've been on here all morning, and I swore I wouldn't do that today.... So I am going to go and get something else done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
