I saw it a long time ago and it stayed with me so I was glad to see TCM was airing it. I got behind in my film watching this weekend. I wanted to watch *Lust for Gold* and I have a Monday morning deadline for the blog we write at the library. I had to watch *The 400 Blows* for a review I was writing there. I was feeling a little overwhelmed so naturally I did what any strong macho guy would do. I had a panic attack and rewatched Marjorie Main and James Whitmore in *Mrs. O'Malley and Mr.Malone.* Oh well. We do what we have to do. I'm going to watch *Come and Get It* before I go to bed tonight. No danger of me falling asleep. I'll comment on it tomorrow. Hey, I discovered another thing we have in common. I also have all five seasons of The Dick Van Dyke Show on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohanaka Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I enjoyed the energy Brennan brought to his character, and I actually had a few moments at the beginning when I couldn't tell if it was him or not I'll go you one better than that....I never DID figure it out...I kept thinking..gee--that guy seems familiar. But I never put it together. (I know...and I call myself a fan!!) Chalk it up to lack of sleep, I can't even blame the Krispy Kremes...haven't had one of those in so long...I don't even want to admit it. :-) (Again...and i call myself a fan!!) April..next time I watch this, I will tape my eyelids open or something...from all I have been reading, I don't think all of us falling asleep was any reflection on the movie...lousy Psycho space aliens. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kathy, have you seen *The Comancheros* ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohanaka Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Comancheros Seems to me, after some pics that April posted in the Western Gallery, that I may have seen it a long time ago, but can't recall enough of it to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi, Kathy! May I ask which is next on your list of movies to watch? I finished Project Wings of Eagles last night and ended up taking almost 400 screencaps. This officially makes me pathological and dangerously obsessed with movies, Ford's in particular. I'm looking out for the men in white coats as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it would be kind of nice if you would share the screencaps with your fellow TCM fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If you could share 390 screen caps with us, that'd be cool. But 391 might put you over the pathological edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohanaka Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi April... which is next on your list of movies The Big Trail. I got it the other day as a special order from the library....sad to say so far none of my other requests are in yet, but they are still on the library's list and I am in the #1 spot for most of them...so I guess I will just wait my turn. Project Wings of Eagles Now that to me sounds like and "official" mission so you can't be considered pathological...you are being thorough. No slackers on Pappy's watch. :-) Can't wait to see a few of those screencaps. PS....don't fear the white coats...they might look scary...but they can be bribed. (that is a bit of personal experience talking...but don't let it get around.) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bake some cookies for your Head Librarian yet? PS....don't fear the white coats...they might look scary...but they can be bribed.

MissGoddess Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I wish you could see *The Big Trail* in the restored, "Fox grandeur" aspect ratio, Kathy, but I look forward to what you think. Now that to me sounds like and "official" mission so you can't be considered pathological...you are being thorough. No slackers on Pappy's watch. Can't wait to see a few of those screencaps. I must have been crazy or close to it to take that many caps, but once I start a project I find it difficult to stop. It's called s-i-c-k. PS....don't fear the white coats...they might look scary...but they can be bribed. (that is a bit of personal experience talking...but don't let it get around.) I hope they can be bribed with compliments, because that's all I have to offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film_Fatale Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That's one I missed! They look so hansome...even Ken Curtis ("Johnny")! They even look handsome.

Film_Fatale Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And in an unrelated movie ramble, I really enjoyed *The Comancheros* with John Wayne. It's also remarkable that this was the last movie Michael Curtiz ever directed. Lee Marvin is very good, even if he's only in the movie for a short while. A great western!

Film_Fatale Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yet another Western I'm looking forward to watching is *The Big Trail*, which Kathy here is also going to be watching (hopefully) in the next few days. This was John Wayne's first really big break!! B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
