Keeping up with this thread, I had to go back and find your post about Heddy. I knew about her patent but haven't seen her in anything. I have a picture from the 30's or 40's with my father-in-law in it at a bar with 4 other gentleman. Someone has wrote on the back that she begged him to marry her. I am computer challenged so in the middle of having someone download the pic so I can email it to her to see if she can identify the other men. Yes! Her website said I could send it to them for possible ID. I wish I had it with me - the things this man wrote, the context, he's definitely not English!

Any movies you can refer me to? Thanks!

Me too.
OH, you're in for a laugh-fest. I just hope you're not easily offended.

Hee. Definitely. I think my fav parts were incredibly offensive. I laughed so hard at "This is Alan Keyes. He is a geniuine chocolate-face." So wrong, yet so funny. Also the Kazakh national anthem: classic.

So, did anyone else besides me buy "Borat" on Tuesday? That movie totally cracks me up.

I went to see "Wild Hogs" last night. It was pretty good. Funny, not as funny as "Borat" but what is? LOL

I thought about seeing Wild Hogs, it it worth seeing in theatre or should I just rent it when it comes out.

That movie with John Travolta...lol. I would never see that, I'm sorry. Lol.

Yeah I will send you a PM later with some stuff no problem.

I am so excited about this movie. I thought the second one was so good, and the same director is back for the third one! I also hope that somehow Marie survived the accident in the last movie and will be back, cause I want Bourne happy again...

for the people here who love classics- men in white. It's clark gable but really very good. Nice drama

Caught Dial M for Murder on one of the cable channels the other night. I'd forgotten how much I liked that movie. Ray Milan was so smooth and evil at the same time.

I like that one too! I'm a sucker for old psychological thrillers.

I saw Zodiac trailer for the first time today. It felt a bit strange: I grew up about 20 minutes from Vallejo (pronounced Vul-lay-ho, not Valley-jo, for those of you not from Nor-Cal), and around here the Zodiac murders have always felt like a "local" story. The Zodiac Shack is still standing not far away. Somehow it's just hard for me to see it as a big movie.

It's a top notch film I might see it again this weekend instead of 300. Which I don't really want to see anyway...waiting for other people I know to see it before I do.

Thank you! I meant to bring the pic with me to work today to write what was on the back and forgot.

Wow. Yeah, these events didn't happen that long ago, or very far away for a lot of people, and it sounds like little shockwaves are still being felt. I got creeped out a bit because of the parts of the story that happened in So. Cal as well. UCR, San Bernardino, I-5 corridor, all places I know well. And then to have that seriously twisted, creep, Allen living for so many years up here. . . . . fascinating story.

If you can, try to find the films Hedy Lamarr did in Germany before moving to the US. By the standards of the day, they were amazing.

I can't watch most new movies these days - too much crap, technology and violence instead of plot and character. It gets depressing after a while.

I like to watch films like:
M - Peter Lorre (you'll never whistle In The Hall Of The Mountain King again)
Public Enemy - Edward G. Robinson
Little Caesar - Cagney's best
Scarface - Paul Muni's original beats the uberviolent remake by miles!
...and lots of other classics

bored, midnite last nite, watched my big fat greek wedding. How do I feel now? i want those 95 mins back.

Exactly! Everyone kept going on and on about how great this movie was. I hated it. It came on tv one night and I watched it- I want my 95 minutes back too!

I wouldn't say I hated it - I "got" why people loved it, but didn't feel this way myself.

Maybe it was the huge, overpowering family... I just couldn't relate. Where I come from, we survive by pretending that we don't even recognize the people we're related to!

Now, for a couple of classic movies that I will drop everything to watch:

Charade (an older Cary Grant, but he's still wonderful)
The Bishop's Wife (a magical younger Cary Grant, see above post about his wonderful-ness)
To Sir, With Love (funky, 60s, London, with a very dashing Sidney Poitier)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (my favorite cheesy musical, featuring sexist songs about Sabine women)

One of my all-time favorite musicals. My nana actually got to meet Jane Powell when this movie came out at a luncheon when my nana and papa lived in Las Vegas. (My papa was stationed there in the Air Force)

Hate is such a less descriptive word than I would use I did once only once, send a email to a fansite of a movie maker-I will not list which one demanding my 7.50 back for his junk movie.



oh seven brides for seven brothers!!! It's one of my fav's too!. How could anyone not like the sawing of the logs and dancing as well.

recomends-Blue of the Night with bing crosby- early stuff but still nice
-A lesson in love with helen kane, the model for betty boop. Interesting nonetheless

Bubble, you should get a Dundie for that signature! Wow. Nick, Nora *and* Asta!

I know! I love that picture. I just got all 6 movies today in the mail (I ordered them Wednesday) and it came with a special 7th DVD with biographies on both Myrna Loy and William Powell. I had no idea- it was a really nice surprise!

May I come watch your TV for you?

I think the bio DVD came with my box set (the one that my sister has ), but I never watched it - let me know if it's any good and enjoy the movies!

It's good but I would either go see it at the theatre at the matinee price or wait until it comes out.

Nick and Nora! I always wondered who made those fun jammies.

i know i'm in the minority here, but i actually really liked my big fat greek wedding.

Also, i just saw the last king of scotland in the thatres. That is quite an intense movie. what's really scary, too, is that this stuff actually happened, and that there are some really nasty people in power.

PS i really liked the scot's guy's accent

I hope that maybe sunday I can go see last king of scotland. Is it very long? a man with a accent is a deadly weapon. I'm shifting through some tapes next to me- I have the masterpeice theater verison of rebecca. AWESOME

i saw zodiac last night it was great! and very well put together...

slightly confusing to follow, but great!

but be prepared when you go its like a 3 hr movie...

firstly, i love masterpiece theatre. secondly, it's not that long, like two to two and a half hours? defintley no longer than that.

then be jealous whitest sneakers. I have found this after noon my copy of masterpiece theater's, tennat of wildfell hall. I can't seem to find my others yet. Will have to go then, most likely alone sunday but will try to make it up there

I am very excited!
I hope the same thing that you do with Maria.
How could he be happy without her?
Poor Bourne.

By the way, have you seen previews for the Shooter movie?
It sounds like the same plot as Bourne!!! I am pretty angry about that.


Also, I love Charade. I could watch it all day long.
Cary Grant is my hero
What a great ending to that movie.

I rented saw 3. For a unrated movie it was so dull. I hated it. Atleast I have my luke wilson movie still.
It's by Mike judge as well, so it's bound to be a riot.

Idiocracy?

Tell me how it is, I wanted to see it.

I can't wait to see The Hobbitt. And if Peter Jackson doesn't direct it, I might not go and see it...

yeah thats it. I will. Going to watch it later this afternoon. I'll tell ya how it is

JAM4NEVER, I told you my bro said it was funnnayy...

You did?

Um yeaa...

Oh. Don't remember. Doo doo doo.

He said twas funny. And you were like, "Oh, okay, JAM4EVA'S brother. See ya later!" You said that.

Okay.

Lololol. It's funnay. 'Cause that's totally WHAT you said. No? Okay...

its right up there with office space. so freakin funny

Rented Borat over the weekend. Something there to offend everyone. Loved it! Hilarious . Now I see why Sasha Baron Cohen was nominated for an oscar.

wondering if I should go to block buster now..car won't go in the shop til thursday(mad about that). Wanted to rent a few horror flicks. on the fence still about the devil wears parda. I love meryl but not a hathaway fan so much. It's been a internal struggle now for months

I actually own The Devil Wears Prada. I got it for Christmas and hadn't seen it yet (I never buy movies I haven't seen) It was actually pretty good- I'd watch it again sometime.

I'm sorry, but I hate that movie, lol.



WHO SAW 300!!??! I WANNA SEE IT! BUT I'M A YOUNGIN!

I'll proberly give a shot then. I trust your judgement, but if it's bad I'll be sending you my home address so you can mail me my 4 dallors back

*Disclaimer* I'm not saying it was the best movie I'd seen or anything- it was watchable though. I wouldn't have bought it on my own.
