coopsgirl Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 As you all know, *The Foutainhead* is my least fave of Gary's movies but when I heard this song called 'Mercy' by Duffy, I thought it would fit perfectly with that film for a slideshow so here it is .

FrankGrimes Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Excelente! I loved that, Coopsy's Clarita. Now that's my kind of Coop footage. Very sensual. I'm speaking of Pat Neal, of course. I really like the song. You have a knack for combining just the right music with your smoothly-edited visuals. You've got talent, girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopsGal Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 That cowboy one is amazing; I've always loved him in that picture, but it always had that stupid watermark on it. Thanks for sharing, Angie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsgirl Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 *That cowboy one is amazing; I've always loved him in that picture, but it always had that stupid watermark on it.* I know, I love that pic and was happy to see it in the article. It's to fragile to try and scan so I just took a pic of it but it didn't come out real great. My camera was also about to run out of juice so I might have to try it again. I'm kinda gun shy of doing that now though b/c one day my stepdad walked in on me taking pics of pics in one of my Gary books and he gave me this look like I had gone crazy. I tried to explain that they weren't scanning right but I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm crazy now . Here's another good one I found on ebay from *The Plainsman*.

coopsgirl Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 *Excelente!* This video seems to be getting responses in Spanish ? ha!. Not long after I uploaded it somebody commented and said 'muy caliente!'. I did get a little flushed putting it together :x. *Now that's my kind of Coop footage. Very sensual. I'm speaking of Pat Neal, of course.* Oh come on, be truthful. We know you want Gary to bust into your bedroom and rough you up a little . No wait, maybe that's me . *I really like the song.* It was in last week's episode of *Smallville* and a couple of the characters were dancing to it and it was really cute. After I listened to it a few times it hit me that scenes from that movie would fit perfectly with it. *You have a knack for combining just the right music with your smoothly-edited visuals. You've got talent, girl!* Thanks! I can't take too much credit though b/c I didn't really have to edit the clips much to get them to look right. The scene in the quarry is pretty much exactly like it is in the movie and the entire scene at the end in the bedroom I took straight from the movie with no edits. That made this one relatively easy and it was cool how well all those scenes fit without me having to do much work . What really freaked me out though is during the scene where he?s working with the drill, you can hear what sounds like a drill in the background of the music for the whole time he's using it. You can hear it best if you listen to it with headphones and that?s what I do when I?m making them. I thought it was coming from the movie so I checked the setting to make sure I was only using sound from the song and not the film and it was right then I realized it was just in the song and it synced up perfectly with the clip. It was meant to be I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsgirl Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 *Man of the West* - I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw this one :x. *Saratoga Trunk* This is a little booklet about the hit songs of 1937 and I thought it was cute that under the song title ?Have You Ever Been in Heaven? is a pic of Gary .

MissGoddess Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I wonder if he rolled his own cigarettes in general as a preference, or if it was his way of staying in character? What a wonderful picture, Angie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsgirl Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't know, but I sure like watching him do it . I found another really good from *MotW* with him and Julie London sitting on the wagon at the end of the movie and he's holding her hand. It's on my computer at home though so I'll upload it later today. I just forgot to do it yesterday when I found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wow, I don't believe I've seen many of those posters---impressive! I think the ones for Along Came Jones are amazing---they're so dramatic for a comic picture, ha! I like them. But my favorite is the Norman Rockwell painting. He was such an incredible artist, I love looking at his work---there is so much detail you can pour over his paintings for hours and never get bored. I would love to have a full size painting (a copy, of course) of that one, he really caught Gary perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterscotchgreer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 i have a small booklet of norman rockwell portraits and i love his stuff too. my favorite painter in Augustus Renoir!!! oh my goodness! and his son was a director too....what are the odds?! heehee! i actually like his movies. everytime you look at a norman rockwell painting you always spot something new--its just that detailed. i love that!

MissGoddess Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 my favorite painter in Augustus Renoir!!! oh my goodness! and his son was a director too....what are the odds?! heehee! i actually like his movies. You certainly have excellent taste. I have only seen a few of Jean Renoir's films but I was very impressed with them too. One that I want to see from start to finish is The River. I only saw about 30 minutes of it one day on TCM and I was very taken with it. I think it may be on dvd so perhaps I'll see if I can add it to my Netflix queue.

butterscotchgreer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 holy joe! i wanted to see The River, but i keep missing it when it comes on. thats flustrating sometimes. heehee!

MissGoddess Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Did anyone create with color like Renoir? I think not. Simply glorious. Now you'd better go over to the Noir gallery and revive FrankGrimes. He was overcome by your visit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I was reading a book the other day, a funny sort of a book......all about ....Paul Henreid. Actually it was his autobiography, and this is what he had to say about Cooper: "I had developed a circle of friends among the Hollywood actors who were not only good at their craft, but were also good company as well. Among them........Gary Cooper, an actor I thought highly underrated during his career, as successful as it was. Cooper was a magnificent actor and very intelligent in his performances. Off the screen he lost that laconic air and became talkative and sparkling in conversation." I am sure you all know this already, but for me it was fresh confirmation from a discerning source that Cooper was more than meets the eye.

coopsgirl Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Thanks for posting that about Gary, Jackie. I never get tired of reading stuff like that about him . It just seems like he was such a nice guy to be around. April, here's that pic from *MotW* I told you about. Renoir was good and I like impressionist art. My faves though are Salvador Dali and Paul Delaroche. Here's one of my faves of Dali's; I have a nice print of it. It looks like swans but their reflections look like elephants. Here's my very fave of Delaroche. It's even more beautiful in person (her fingernails looks so real it's freaky) and it's also very large. It's shows the execution of Lady Jane Grey who was queen of England for only nine days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 What a priceless work of art! I mean Gary, of course. Those are fantastic paintings. I am not too familiar with Delaroche, but that painting puts me in mind of the Preraphaelites. Hmmmm....favorite paintings and painters. Michaelangelo and Van Gogh have always been my favorites (however I favor Michaelangelo's sculptures even more than his paintings and frescos; when I saw the "David" in Florence I almost fainted!).
