Had to reply to this one. I love this film. I'm so happy that it's also available on TCM on Demand as well, because I can watch it any time I want. I have to agree with you that Dean Martin really steals the whole movie here. Although the first time I saw this, I was shocked when he called Shirley a...

I think I'm just going to call you "The Man of Many Personalities" from now on!

You miss a few days on the internet and a whole new place opens up! I'm really glad you found your way here though! It's good to see you.

Rusty, you're a Mr. Show fan? That's awesome. I can't believe I forgot to add that to my list, because that's always been a favorite of mine. Did you ever see the episode with the F.F. Woodycooks "Crime Stick" sketch? Everytime I watch a gangster movie, I wind up yelling, "Shake the c...

I absolutely love Dick Shawn and Ethel Merman! The way he's always yelling, "Mama! I'm coming to get you, mama!" just cracks me up. And the way she's always beating people up with her purse. She's so over-the-top in her meaness, it's hilarious. It's also the first ending of any movie where...

The first flick I saw Powell in was I Love You, Again ... I was new to classics, and when I started in on that movie he was odd looking. When I got to the part where she dumps the eggs on his head, he was cute. And by the time I got to his cooing, I was sold ;) That is my all time favorite Powell/L...

Well, except maybe The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex . But that's really more because I can't help but think about what was going on behind the scenes on that film - she made Errol Flynn miserable - and that distracts me somewhat. But other than that...I can't think of a single instance wher...

I like The Plainsman. Don't expect it to be historically accurate or anything...but I think it's a good film.... I tend to enjoy his romantic comedies quite a bit...especially the ones where he plays this adorable innocent sort of character like in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Ball of Fire, and Meet Joh...

And they say no contests without written okay from TCM. How will that affect the Challenge? That's what I was wondering about as well. If someone like cs is feeling really vindictive, then I'm sure she could protest the challenges (since it is a "contest"), and it could be nixed for good....

Are you a fan of "The Kids in the Hall?" I should have put that on my list. "I'm crushing your head! I'm crushing your head! You're a flathead!" I forgot to put that on mine too! We get the CBC on our cable system, so I used to watch KITH when it was on every week. The Canadian ...

Hollywood kids who ended up worshiping their famous parents are a pretty rare commodity. It's more shocking to hear that someone actually likes their parents, instead of writing some kind of horrible tell all book. I loved that Gary Cooper bumper where his daughter talks about him. She's so filled ...

Oh, I love making lists! It's one of my favorite hobbies. 1. - Tied - Bette Davis - I just adore her. She was a tough, ballsy woman who also happened to be a fantastic actress. There's a lot of fire in her acting, and even in her substandard movies, she's wonderful. I don't think I've ever seen her ...

pktrekgirl, tell me--are you or are you not a fan of Gary Cooper? I really don't think I'm reading your posts clearly enough! :wink: Since you're a fan of him and both Jean Arthur, can tell me if The Plainsman is any good? I loved them together in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (much better than Stewart/Art...

It seems as though "Sister Luke" is gone. I did a search for her username and I get a "failed to find specified user" message. I wouldn't be too optimistic though. Yesterday around this time, I checked the boards and noticed something really bizarre going on with the post counts....

I like the idea of having some kind of subforum where people can post photos or galleries of their favorite actors/actresses/memorabilia, etc. I particularly enjoyed looking at the photos everyone was uploading to the Yahoo group. Perhaps you can do something like A-L and M-Z subcategories for the a...

Kyle, those pictures of Barbara are fantastic--especially the last one! But then she was gorgeous throughout her entire life. I actually debated with my avatar. Solo Barbara as Sugarpuss from 'Ball of Fire'? Miriam Deering from 'Charlotte'? But when I saw the picture of Joseph Cotten AND Barbara tog...
