Bronxgirl48 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 LOL Pard belonged to Bogie? Can you imagine answering to the name of Zero? I mean, unless your last name was Mostel, it must have been embarrassing, even for a dog. Okay, buona notte! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CineMaven Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I don't want to star at Bronxie's guy too long. (Remember what happened to Lot's Wife). But you are so very right. And now I must add The Guess Who onto my iPOD!!! I'll take this over "Crocodile Rock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CineMaven Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 You've reintroduced me to Rudolph Valentino...so I'm taking him seriously. I don't like the videos where the editor made his lips move to sing songs. Naaaaah. Give me just Rudy himself...unfiltered. Untouched. Oh, maybe just slooooooowed down in slow motion. Let's see Rudy unadorned by camera tricks; where it's just him doing the tango...or embracing...kissing. Rudy Ungimmicked. In one of the videos, there's Rudy in a shot from our first and favorite "All I Wanna Do" video as he runs his hands through his hair. (I now have the song on my iPOD, and when I play it, I see the video in my mind's eye). The very next shot, he's about to sit on the beach. I had to run that back a few times 'cuz I was noticing how he sits. He does not plotz down on the beach...he does not use his hands to steady and lower himself to the beach. He merely uses the strength in his legs to lower himself steadily down onto the sand. It was like a ballet. Aaaaah Rudy, any which way, I guess...but I'm taking him seriously.

JackFavell Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I keep dreaming of what the movie might have been like had he accepted The Godfather role. Sorry for gushing, but isn't he so cute as an old man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Coppola needed somebody really big in that movie. Think of it in 1972, was Caan and Pacino really big yet? But please do gush all you want. He's very attractive. And you've opened my eyes to Joey C. I'll be looking for him in films. When I saw a little of "TOUCH OF EVIL" the Orson night, who was sweating bullets right next to the rotund Welles? That's right...your baby. I'd like to sit on his lap. Uhmm...Joseph's, not Orson's.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Maven, you are so eloquently appreciative of Valentino and I agree 100 per cent. I should have prefaced those vids with "Bizarre", because if anyone wants Rudy unadorned and real, it's yours truly! Although you know what? I actually would love to see Rudy plotz. LOL A few awkward, human moments and I'd swoon even more! Have you noticed his hands? (I know, it's difficult to look away from other body parts) Along with Lon Chaney, Sr., I think RV had the most beautiful and expressive ones in film history.

JackFavell Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Oh, I forgot to say how much I liked the Rudy vids! I agree with Maven though, I like him unadulterated. I have to go back and see his hands. Chaney's use of his hands is INCREDIBLE. There are several moments in HE WHO GETS SLAPPED that are amazing - one at the beginning, where he reaches up and grabs his head in exhaustion after having finished his scientific paper, and another where he turns his back to the camera and reaches his hand up, stopping all action.... I have to check out Rudy's hands, I mean the times when he's not fondling some poor swooning girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm also hoping that JungleKey.com, who have a spectacular array of RV photos, get with it and put up Joe as well. Granted, the "pin-up" aspect and factor in Valentino's appeal accounts of course for the extensive collection, but Calleia was no slouch in the charisma, subtle-sexy department and deserves to be "re-discovered" in this way. I was thinking the same thing with the Arizona family -- the husband made 20 minutes sound like an hour. And as for Marcello, I also had the same reaction, LOL. He needed to eat more pasta.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I got a pretty good measurement, let me tell you. Didn't mean to get overly morbid on RV, but the 85th anniversary of his death is coming up Tuesday, August 23rd, and, since re-discovering Valentino myself, his life has been weighing heavily on my tiny little brain. There were so many flowers sent to his hospital room that he asked they be given to the other patients. A real mensch. x.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I missed a floor show last night at our building. My good friend and neighbor said she was awakened by banging and screaming, then a knock on her door. It was a naked woman wearing a straw hat and carrying a wooden cane, exclaiming that she was Barbra Streisand's niece and therefore how could her boyfriend throw her out of their apartment. She and the guy live here and apparently are not unfamiliar with the police breaking up their domestic disputes. Apparently drugs are also involved. My friend goes, "You didn't hear anything??" I told her I was in my bedroom watching TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Oh my gosh, guys, I am so touched and even overwhelmed at your beautiful tributes to Rudy at the anniversary of his passing. KYLE, that Motion Picture magazine color photo from THE SHEIK is magnificent. His eyes look right into a woman's soul. And the etching, together with his autograph and that heartfelt poem -- exquisite. MY BRONX SISTER METSIE, you couldn't have stated and illustrated Valentino's appeal more eloquently! All I wanna do is touch him! LYNN, oooh, is that, uh, a Kirstie Alley "Big One"? Swoon!!!! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. RUDY TIPS HIS HAT TO YOU.
