Well, you've read the notes, the title of the notes couldn't even fit in this topic header, hence the unseemly abbreviation, and now it is time for you to post until the unseemly cows come home - they're convinced that the pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle.

And the word of the day is: GERENT!

George · « **Reply #2 on:** August 10, 2010, 12:39:09 AM »

Topic of the Day (courtesy of IMDb): What's Up, Doc?:

Eunice: I'm not looking for romance, Howard.
Howard: Oh?
Eunice: No, I'm looking for something more important than that, something stronger. As the years go by, romance fades and something else takes its place. Do you know what that is?
Howard: Senility?
Eunice: Trust!
Howard: That's what I meant.

~~~~

Judy: Aw come-on, Steve, you don't want to marry Eunice.
Howard: I'm not Steve. I'm Howard.
Judy: Well neither of you wants to marry Eunice.
Howard: Why do you say that?
Judy: Because you don't want to marry someone who's gonna get all wrinkled, lined, and flabby.
Howard: Everybody gets wrinkled, lined, and flabby!
Judy: By next week?

~~~~

Judy: Has anyone ever told you that you are very, very sexy?
Hugh: Well, actually no.
Judy: They never will.

~~~~

Howard: What am I gonna tell Eunice?
Judy: That's the easy part. You go up to her room. She answers the door; now she will have been crying so her eyes will be all bloodshot and her nose will be all red and runny, but you look past all that. You stare purposefully into those red-rimmed, swollen eyes, and you say, "Eunice, my dear, there's been a terrible mistake. I've behaved like a cad, a bounder! But now I see everything clearly and I've decided that Judy and I are gonna put you into a home."

~~~~

Frederick Larrabee: Don't you dare strike that brave, unbalanced woman!

~~~~

Judge Maxwell: You see this yellow pill?
Bailiff: Yes sir.
Judge Maxwell: You know what it's for?
Bailiff: What, Judge?
Judge Maxwell: To remind me to take this BLUE pill!
Bailiff: What's the blue one for, Judge?
Judge Maxwell: I don't know. They're afraid to tell me.

Tuesday morning greetings! I woke up a couple of hours ago and decided that the worst thing to do is lie there in the dark and THINK. I've been reading and eating grapes and thought it was about time to pop in and say HI.

I agree with you. I also agree with George. I don't know who "eorge" but I agree with him too. Peter Bogdonovich directed three three great films in the 70's and then after that perhaps ego took over.
1970-Last Picture Show, 1971-What's Up Doc? 1972-Paper Moon. The one exception was Mask.

And some of my mine

Gentlemen you can't fight here, this is the War Room....Dr. Strangelove

You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together - and blow...Lauren Bacall

But you are Blanche! You are!...Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Fasten your seat belts - it's going to be a bumpy night...All About Eve
I would love to have kissed ya, but I justed washed my hair

She's my daughter!.(SLAP)..She's my sister! (SLAP)..She's my daughter! (SLAP)..My sister, (SLAP)..my daughter..(SLAP).. She's my sister and my daughter." Faye Dunaway...Chinatown

Some Marx Bros

You can't fool me! There ain't no sanity clause!
One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I don't know.
I'd horsewhip you, if I had a horse
If I held you any closer, I'd be behind you
I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it
It's the old, old story. Boy meets girl - Romeo and Juliet - Minneapolis and St. Paul!

and I could go on and on and on

TOD:

I know that bk's not fond of it, but it sometimes seems that half of my conversations quote The Princess Bride. Some of the ones that come up most frequently:

* "Thank you for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?"
* "I'm on the brute squad." "You are the brute squad!"

From The Muppett Movie:
* "Have you tried Hari Krishna?"
* "It's a myth! Myth!" "Yes?" "Good grief, it's a running gag!"

From Duck Soup:
* "What are you doing?" "Defending your honor, which is more than you ever did!"

One of my all-time favorites, though, comes not from film but from radio, and the great Jimmy Durante, who had the most magnificent ability to creatively mangle the English language (second perhaps only to Yip Harburg). On one of his shows, Lucille Ball guest-starred, and when she came in, Jimmy delivered the following:

"I'm overwhelmin', Lucille. The exuberance of this unctious occasion, and the mere quintessence of your celestial radiance, permeates my bountiful soul with palpitations of grandiouseness and jocundity."

She: "James, if you think that over, I'm sure you'll take it back."

He: "Take it back, nuthin'! I had a hard enough time gettin' rid of it!"

Ginny -- I left out an ingredient in the oatmeal recipe.

I also put in two tablespoons of ground flax seed (or flax meal). It's a good fat, and it tastes better than adding fish oil.

Good morning, all! I slept late, got out of bed around 9 am, answered a few emails, printed out a computerized score, and downloaded the OLC PROMISES PROMISES. I'm ready for a nap.

I have some writing here on the Herbert shows, a trip to the copyist with my Indianapolis charts around noon, a trip to Staples to enlarge the printout of this score, and that's my day.

Tony Richardson: TOM JONES
Robert Altman: M*A*S*H
The Marx Brothers: DUCK SOUP, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA

Alec Guiness: KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, THE LADYKILLERS
Bob Hope: THE CAT AND THE CANARY, GHOSTBREAKERS, PALEFACE
Hope & Crosby: THE ROAD TO UTOPIA

I'm listening to the London Cast of PROMISES PROMISES. That unpleasant lady playing the lead, whom I once sold an important recording to, will never be a singer whose voice (or attitude) I like or admire: her belt is only good for peeling paint off walls.

Given that problem, the recording sounds spectacular!
