So we took the opportunity to watch two we'd never seen before: Key Largo and Seven Chances.

I love Key Largo.  Not remembering Seven Chances I watched the trailer.  I probably saw it when I was young.

TOD: One of my wife's nicknames for me (usually at restaurants) is "Sauce Boy," so I really can't choose one sauce or even a few. So many sauces, so little time.

I love anything by Buster Keaton. What did you think of it?

We loved it! It's hard to narrow down the "dazzling scene" but I think my wife is going to go with the football game, which got the biggest laughs in our house.

I'll be doing Key Largo and will pick the hurricane scene. Usually the obvious choice is the right one in this class.

The boulder scene gets me every time.

And the word of the day is: WHEEDLE!

The only first reference to this word I'd ever come across was:

There were these two, you see
Wanted her like mad
One of 'em a Judge
T'other one his Beadle!
Every day they'd nudge
And they'd wheedle!
But she wouldn't budge
From her needle
Too bad
Pure thing


:)

DR George, you need to get out more! Lorenz Hart used the word in the duet "I Beg Your Pardon" from the 1925 Dearest Enemy:
I'm sure I beg your pardon;
I must withdraw my hand;
I don't plan to be wheedled
So don't misunderstand.


Larty, I have amended my original post!  I have your recording of Dearest Enemy, but don't know it as well as I know Sweeney Todd. :)

Well, Feckham Hall is ready for release, and it looks positively silly, ridiculous, bawdy, rude, and something I'd love!

I want to see this! :D It's due to be released on December 5!

What a horrible Double Damn Day for BK. Insurance, corporations, people not doing their jobs. Horrible, all of it.

Agreed! >:(

I love this story!

Stephen Colbert quietly stepped into a small rescue shelter in New Jersey — with only 48 hours remaining before it would close, and all the dogs inside would be taken away. The bills were unpaid. The owner had given up hope.
But then, the 61-year-old singer — a legend known for his steadfast integrity and strong principles — walked straight to the back, where an 11-year-old Labrador mix named Buddy lay frail and forgotten. He knelt beside him, gently stroking him and whispering words of comfort.
Then, standing up and looking around, he asked, “How many dogs are here?”
A voice replied, “Thirty-nine.”

Colbert’s voice rang out, calm yet resolute: “All 39 of you deserve a tomorrow.”
The very next day, delivery trucks began arriving one after another — bringing new beds, fresh flooring, medical supplies, food, and toys. Above every kennel, a new sign appeared: “Forever Home — with love from Colbert.”

And Buddy? Colbert adopted him on the spot. He smiled and said, “He’s been waiting too long. Now it’s my turn to be here for him.”
Colbert didn’t just save a shelter. He saved 39 beating hearts, giving them hope, dignity, and a future.



Hopefully, it's a true story! 

(Colbert isn't a singer.)

Nor have I seen Scrooged with Bill Murray.  Several J&H castmates have castigated me for not having seen Scrooged.

I definately think you should watch it this year.

I just ordered it.

I like tarter sauce.  Funny though, I wouldn't have thought to mention it.
