DR Jed must be waiting for young ladies from the East Coast to make an appearance!
I liked all the Three Stooges shorts that John Woo directed....oh wait....that was John WooHoo.
Favorite action films:
Where Eagles Dare
Ice Station Zebra
I have really gone off Arnold Swartz... since he's become governor of California...is he really such a homophobic pig as he's portrayed?Portayed by whom? He's never been a homophobe, to my recolection. Someone's putting spin on him. Again.
...the other (matinees) is a guy with a semi-mullet (sp?). I'm not sure how one can have a "semi-mullet" but I've seen it and it does exist. ...Short in the front, thinking about getting long in the back?
I'm not sure what an action film is anymore. Can I say Gunga Din? My favourite adventure film of all time is the one Woody mentioned Adventures of Robin Hood.Yes, Gunga Din is an action film. The difference between the older action films and the current generation is that the older films didn't have to be constant action; they were able to take their time to establish character and motivation.
Well, there's no drizzle here, despite what dear reader Panni has said. I see no trace of drizzle whatsoever. Perhaps she walked through some sprinklers.
I prefer my action films animated... Road Runner, Bugs Bunny et. al.I'm with you there WEL.
RE: "The Last Action Hero"
Wasn't that the movie where the filmmakers got "lazy" during the filming that they went ahead and left all the continuity errors intact for the final release? I seem to recall a promotion where they had a contest to see which filmgoer could spot the most continuity errors in the film. I guess that insured some sort of repeat business. Alas, I don't think that many people entered the contest, but someone did win. And the number of errors was quite high - again, if I recall correctly.
Robin -- I prefer your real photo, but I am a traditionalist.
I also came across this recent pic of my brother Michael's two children, my nephew and niece - John Michael and Alyssa. -All is right with the world. :)

Tom,In American English François!
Pardon my being French with you, but you should realize that "realize" has a Z, as in Zorro!, unless you are using the French spelling! ;)
Cute pic DR Jose.
DR Panni, I didn't even know serviette was used as an English word. I knew what you meant because of what it means in french. But I've never heard anyone in English use the word.
I do not think it's appropriate for a little girl to be smoking a cigar.
Portayed by whom? He's never been a homophobe, to my recolection. Someone's putting spin on him. Again.
"And I took care of water and donuts!":) :) :)
Nice name for pets!
;D
I have another question. Why do men have the need to deal with problems alone?Is there another way? :)

My buddy Derek had a dog who he'd named "Askem".
When someone would ask Derek what his dog's name was, he'd reply, "Askem!"
Usually, they'd repeat their question, and Derek would once again reply, "Askem!"
And some people would actually look at the dog, and ask, "What's your name?"
I've actually seen it happen. More than once.
No, Tom,Modify modify modify.
We do not want the home fries to bur! No! :D
Didn't Arnold tell the world that "Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."?I don't know where you found that quote, Robin. It smacks of something someone made up.
I don't think he's a homophobe, but like altogether too many of our elected officials, Democrat and Republican, he's not going to go out of his way to do us any favors.
Good link François. Not sure what the conclusion is and I would assume it is written by an American.
Language changes even here - the words borrow and lend are often interchangeable. So many children say "Can I lend your pencil" when of course they mean "May I borrow your pencil".
Most common errors here - I think as a result of lazy pronunciation by Australians in general -are where "have" is replaced by "of" in the expressions "could have" and "would have" etc. Australians tend to say "could've" which to the listener is "could of". Fascinating. No! But it keeps the home fries burning.
I don't know where you found that quote, Robin. It smacks of something someone made up.
However, as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/03/02/GOVERNOR.TMP) and in the Guardian, (http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1160765,00.html) he is personally in support of gay marriage, and would back them if the voters in California support those marriages by changing the law. He views this as being a states rights issue, and not one that should be determined by a national amendment.
It strikes me as odd, that Schwarzenegger is being targeted and labeled as a homophobe. To my knowledge, he has not signed any anti-gay legislation. He has not campaigned against gay rights, or against equal rights for any sector of society. The question has to be asked: why is he being tarred with the homophobe label, when it doesn't apply? Why is someone, or some group, putting this negative spin on him?
Was that Spike Lee or Spike Jones. I always get them confused François.
Great new avatar photos from Jason, DRJOSE, and MATTH. Oh my we are celebrating the climb 60,000 posts with lively new photos. And don't we all look great!
DRJOSE prepare the usual 3x5 card with a description of your books so that the "borrower" knows to bring them back, no questions asked.
OMG Hilda Santo-Tomas should be fired from Trading Spaces and banned from decorating ANY room in anyone's house. I cannot imagine after her horrible designs that ANYONE would call her to do anything!
She is out of control, an egomaniac, and completely untalented.
Heheheheh. I love the internet!
LOL....so far her movies have been sinkers.;D
The gumball room isn't the one with the cardboard furniture, is it? That was frightening.
