"Dogs never bite me. Just humans."

I'm so glad to see Marilyn Monroe on a coupla lists...She's always been one of my favorites. I would have to add "Niagara" and "The Seven Year Itch" to the ones mentioned as my favorites. She is "just elegant" in "The Seven Year Itch-"showing us her comic abil...

"Low-Key Howe"

James Wong Howe was a master cinematographer-from silents to '75's "Funny Lady." He developed a method to make "blue eyes" register well in film close ups (initially for Mary Miles Minter) by using black velvet as a frame for the camera lens to peek through...other "stars&qu...

It's a nor'eastern! It's a nor'eastern! Marco, I'm glad you survived the storm of the century. Were you forced to travel about in gondolas? After you get settled, please share with us your adventures in the jolly ol' land of Oz (aka Manhattan.) Love the avatar! Don't you wish we could include music ...

"I don't like the way Teddy Roosevelt is looking at me.

That's interesting that you guys aren't fond of his mid-career films...the only Oscar nominations he received were for 2 of his movies from the '40's-"None But The Lonely Heart" and "Penny Serenade." Ironically, I've never seen either! I love Cary Grant. He was so handsome and su...

TCM's Sock Puppet Theatre featuring Queen Cinemascope

I am surprised that TCM has (virtually) ignored the feuds, insults, and bizarre behavior on their message boards...especially with such a small community. My Space has a HUGE community and they are quite prompt in "deleting" users who do not abide with their rules. There was a thread creat...

"I am lusting for more. Should I settle for less?"

Thanks for the info, Kyle. I just assumed that IMDb photos were there for the taking... Thanks for the photos of Javier! I don't know if he can sing. (I'm sure Rob Marshall could "make" that happen. Look what he did with the cast of "Chicago.") As for dancing...well, one of Javie...

You Tube

Has anyone seen all those videos with the Lily Tomlin/David O. Russell feud from "I Heart Huckabees?" There are quite a few-including parodies-on You Tube. Actually, I wonder if it's a "real" feud, because it is pretty over-the-top extreme. I would post one here, but the language...

I used to tape "The Surreal Life." I don't know if it comes on anymore. I still tape "The Real World" and "24" and feel pretty "guilty" watching them. I'm looking forward to a new season of "Nip/Tuck." I would also love to catch up on seasons 2 thru ...
