I have very much enjoyed catching some of the Claude Rains films this month. One I had not seen before (that I was able to catch last night) was The Unsuspected. I really enjoyed all the little (and not so little) twists and turns in this one. There were a few moments that were a bit far fetched, bu...

You gals are being nicer to me than I deserve. I DID go on and on.... and on (likely far too long) way back then as I recall... trust me...ha. I just get so doggone wrapped up in stories like that. I am far too much of a "This is what I saw and this is what I think about it" kinda gal. ha....

Hi Movieman...Jackaaaay, I've finally found my way over here. I'll post something very soon. But it's so late or early...and Tyrone Power's coming on shortly in "Abandon Ship!" I've got to really get my thoughts together for the Ox-Bow. It deserves my best effort. Thanxx for gently guidin...

Is it me or has Duvall often seem to have played subsequent roles a similar way. "Open Range" for instance. Yep... Chris, I can certainly see the comparison (for some of Duvall's later roles). Something like variations on a theme of "Gus", ha. But it fits him VERY well. I once h...

I caught the tail-end of one of the best mini-series, and best westerns, ever made tonight, " Lonesome Dove ". It has a heckuva cast, some perfectly- Robert Duvall as Gus, Tommy Lee Jones as Capt. Call, Robert Urich as Jake, Danny Glover as Deets, Chris Cooper as July Johnson and Angelica...

My apologies, these remarks are not being said by the leading voices of the GOP but by lesser lights but GOP members nonetheless. Rex Rammell, a hopeful candidate for governor of Idaho on the GOP ticket is the one who said he wanted "to hunt Obama down" and then said he was only joking. N...

But they are talking about "hunting Obama down", Ms Cutter, with deepest admiration and GREAT respect toward you and my fellow posters here... I would be very curious to hear who in the GOP leadership has been making such comments. And I would also be curious to know in what sort of conte...

Hi Ms. Maven....

Re: Fabian.... cute pup indeed!! The moutains and trees were NOT the only terrific scenery in the movie... ha.

I have always enjoyed this movie VERY much. It is one of my fave Duke comedies. Very funny. (and you are right.... the scenery is TERRIFIC)

The Bus Driver and the Pastor: A Bus Driver and a Pastor died. When they got to heaven, the bus driver received a beautiful mansion with a wonderful landscaped lawn and a lovely fountain in front. The pastor got an old mud hut. The pastor went to St. Peter and complained. "Say, I was a very imp...

I realize that what I am about to say will likely not be popular here. But after reading some of the things I have seen on this thread, I feel led to speak up if only to present an alternate point of view. I do not suppose in any way that anything I will say is going to change anyone's mind, so plea...

In areas where basements are not commonplace, do people try to build some sort of small, closet-like room somewhere in their house as you describe or do they have an earthen root cellar type shelter right in the ground handy for those times when Mother Nature gets in a twist? Are there any state or...

I thought that doorway business was for earthquakes. When the wind rips the roof off your house, it isn't a clean process. Falling debris is a bigger killer than the wind. Now, our weather people say when you go to the basement, or storm shelter or low lying area ,have helmets (bicycle, motorcycle,...

I watched "The Long Gray Line" yesterday Hiya Mr. Movieman.... I LOVE The Long Gray Line. It is NOT my favorite Ford... but it is a good one. And I too enjoyed the Irish "heritage" in this one. It was at the heart of the whole entire tale, and it really added a nice layer of und...

I think I may be the only one who thinks UNION PACIFIC was a terrific western. Maybe I was just in a really good mood. It entertained me thoroughly Nope.... NOT the only one. I REALLY enjoyed it.... (and I must not be as hard to please sometimes because I usaully do enjoy DeMille... he must be a &q...
