Not quite anymore. His face is changing. Not just his hair.

LOL! Jen, I almost didn't click on that link, cause I didn't care why we should care. Then I saw Celeste's response, so I checked it out. Too funny!

I had to hear Michele going on and on how great the wedding was... UGH... she was mad it wasn't on sat like Diana's .. she would have woken up just for it

My brothers GF got up for it...I laughed!

People need to get a life!

Michele said she watched Diana's all day... over and over.. "all the pomp and circumstance is fantastic".. she was appalled that I didn't care one bit

It's so romantic... sniff, sniff, (blowing my nose...)

oh yeah... WC I see you all up into that.. LOL

Oh come on all you crudmudgeons ....yeah,I know that's not a real word...but, heck it was pretty...as long as it's not my tax dollars paying for it.

Watched The King's Speech. Colin Firth definitely deserved that Oscar!

He has always been superb; glad to see he finally got a project that gave him recognition.

I agree BA. He's always been a favorite of mine.

And he's "easy on the eyes."

Citizen Kane was released 70 years ago today.

Watching a cool show about Madagascar on Discovery right now.

With regard to "Citizen Kane":

For film buffs, the key-word "rosebud" was a sexually-derisive term used by Orson Wells to insult his target of the film, William Randolph Hearst.

I'm merely reporting a fact.

Interesting fact BA
Every time I tried to watch that movie I fell asleep

So Wells had seen Hearst's privates??

No, I was deliberately vague because this is a basically a gardening site...please allow me to delicately re-phrase:

William Randoph Hearst (a super-powerful, super-wealthy publisher), and film director Orson Welles, had a mutual hatred for one another.

Orson Welles, in the Hollywood film business, decides to make a satire of his nemisis, W.R.Hearst......the title of the film was "Citizen Kane." It is now considered a classic, and appears on many experts' lists of favorites.

Orson Welles heard through the Hollywood grapevine that Hearst's pet name for his mistress, actress Marion Davies, was "Rosebud"; it was supposedly a reference to her...ummm...anatomy.

Orson Welles made it an important reference in the film, to irritate Hearst.

;)


(Edited for my lousy spelling.)

Knew all that except the Rosebud reference. Radio City refused to screen it out of fear of Hearst.

Yes, I know this is a cliche, but I'm typing it anyway !!!:


"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

POSTSCRIPT:

Don't forget to view the film from 2001, "The Cat's Meow."

An interpretation of some of these Hollywood issues.

Good film, I give it a 7.5 on a 10 scale, if you spend 5 minutes doing a Wikipedia quick overview of what was going on back then.

Certainly impacted Wells' career, but he made many great films anyway. And, of course, the Gallo commercials.

I confess to a weakness for food documentaries, and on at least 2 hot dog documentaries, "Pink's" Hot Dogs in Los Angeles claims that Orson Welles ate 18 (!?!) hot dogs in one day.

Guessing that Gallo white wine came in handy to wash those "puppies" down!

Ewwww!

Yummy! LOL!

Are you awake yet, Sherrie? ^_^

Crazy about the 50 ft woman. Wow.

Jackie Cooper was one of the first writers for MASH.

I dont know

How bizarre is this? Three freaks. Imagine the conversations!

ROTFL
sounds like a great movie script!

Absolutely. I have shared an R-rated version of a possible conversation they may have had with some friends.

I can only imagine!

Wow, how could she have been dead that long and no one missed her? No friends? Sad.

Does sound like a good movie script.
