Bronxgirl48 Posted September 27, 2009 It's tough being her daughter, but I guess someone has to do it. She told me she wasn't going to watch BEN-HUR again tonight because she has an aversion to Chuck. I asked her if she felt the same way about Stephen Boyd. She goes, "Who?" I told you she's getting senile. Edited by: Bronxgirl48 on Sep 26, 2009 10:01 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 27, 2009 How are you this evening, I mean aside from the shock of mom's preference for big hair over the sublime Melina? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 27, 2009 I wonder what she'd think of Boyd in THE OSCAR. Lots of big hair in that one, especially Elke with the beehive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 27, 2009 That's it. You need to counter big hair with big hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 27, 2009 I have an aversion to Chuck too. I'm right there with your mom on that one. I watched Scarlet Street instead. Whoa, mama. It was great. Next I'm watching a silent. I have the TV till about midnight when hubby comes home from his concert. Woo-hoo! This is a two movie night. Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 27, 2009 I've warmed up to Heston over the years, the same way I did to the Duke. Mom doesn't like him either, and constantly asks me to change my John Wayne voice-mail. My answer to that, of course: that'll be the day. I have a whole mess of backlogged movies to get to, including ANNE OF THE INDIES on Hulu.com, and Rich's horror and sci-fi gems. I just love Joan in SCARLET STREET. She's just so charismatically slutty, and I think even more intriguing in WOMAN IN THE WINDOW.

JackFavell Posted September 27, 2009 I liked how normal Joan and Dan were - they were awful, but in a really almost humorous way, not the blackest of evil, but a more everyday kind. Loved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted September 27, 2009 Joan made two other good movies with director Fritz Lang - Man Hunt and Secret Beyond the Door.... They were really good working together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissGoddess Posted October 3, 2009 So she DID have HBO after all???? Does your Mom have anything to say about Julia? (I'm dying to know if she thinks what I think, ha!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 3, 2009 Nah, HBO she gets, but PRETTY WOMAN was playing on Showtime, which she wasn't sure she got, hence the phone call to me. Can you imagine anyone wanting to see that movie again, lol? I'm going to ask her about Julia tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be a memorable reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 3, 2009 I should have asked Mom if she's seen that HBO documentary called "Hookers at the Point" -- Bronx streetwalkers talk about their work and ply their trade. A sequel was made called, I think, "Hookers at the Point Again". I watched both of them. None of the girls looked like Julia Roberts.

Oh....my....her perspective on THAT would certainly be interesting! I somehow think those ladies would chew up and spit out Julia Roberts...and keep her boots.

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 3, 2009 The boots these girls wear in that doc make Julia's in PW look like ballet flats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those kinds of shoes/boots are actually in style now. I mean for non-working women. You should see them trying to walk in Manhattan in those skyscrapers. I have a pair of platforms but I only dare wear them indoors, ha! I'm too cowardly to trie the pavement. The high fashion styles now really don't leave anything for the Point ladies to call their own, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 4, 2009 And I get wobbly on kitten heels, lol. For some reason, I have in my mind's eye a lurid vision of Lainie Kazan in one of those laughably "hip" but really tired 60's detective "thrillers" with Ole Blue Eyes, in which she's got on a honkin' big pair of white "hooker" boots. I don't think Frank makes a pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
