[southlandshari]

Who's in?

:popcorn:

[merh]

1. You have to ask?

:popcorn:

[southlandshari]

5. Yay! And a note about "To Kill a Mockingbird"....

Peck made "Cape Fear" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" in the same year. Pretty incredible, if you ask me.

:hi:

[merh]

6. I didn't realize that.

You movie trivia buff, you! :pals:

I just adore Gregory Peck. :loveya:

:hug:

20. Y'oughta see the shooting schedules

for movies in the '20s and '30s. Lotta actors cranked out five, six or more a year.

Hollyweird didn't screw around back then.

2. I'll put that on...I'm a big fan of Robert Mitchum

A TRUE bad-ass :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

Edited for lots of popcorn!

[southlandshari]

8. As much as I love DeNiro

Mitchum's eerie performance in the original film is unbeatable!

:thumbsup:


Are you watching now?

[TK421]

12. Yes! And it's really difficult to say who's performance I liked better

They are both legendary actors, and both did a superb job in both the original and the remake. I saw the re-make first, so when I saw the original...I was surprised how good it was. Mitchum and DeNiro have that certain "grit" to their personality that few actors can match

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Is that the one

where Mitchum plays the town bully/lothario or somethin'?

[TK421]

4. Max Cady....an excellent movie. n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. I saw part of it

about a brazillion years ago.

Mitchum might've been the best not-classically-trained actor in history.

[southlandshari]

14. Well come on and watch the rest of it!

I'll even buy you some Junior Mints and an overpriced soda to go with the :popcorn: if you'll stay!

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Can I have Milk Duds instead?

:bounce:

[southlandshari]

21. Are you kidding?

You know good and damned well I'd buy you any overpriced, oversized box of delicious fat and cholesterol you desire, darlin'!

Wouldn't scratch the surface towards how much I owe you.

;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Feh

You owe me nothing.

When you get your one-year pin, mention me in your talk. :hug:

11. based on a novel by John D. McDonald - spolier?

The character is a person who went to military prison for rape and he gets out after 15 years or so and comes looking for the former naval officer who caught him in the act and busted him.

[southlandshari]

15. Exactly!

And I think the film has been out long enough - both the original and remake - to allay any worries about spoilers.

How are you toight, sweets?

:hi:

[hfojvt]

23. just relaxing after work, thanks

it was a pretty quiet day, except for the fast t-storms.

But I have not seen either movie - just read the book about ten years ago.

7. Can't watch it...

To close to real life. If it can happen in real life, the movies creep me out to much.

[southlandshari]

10. Awww...c'mon, Tex!

I'll hold your hand through the scary parts!

:hug:

[texas1928]

13. Nah that is ok.

Plus your hand would get broken, I have a very strong grip.

This was post 9696

[southlandshari]

16. Admit it...

You think the movie might creep you out, too!

:P

[texas1928]

17. I have seen both of them...

And I know it would creep me out.

[merh]

18. Kojak with hair!

:popcorn:

24. I wonder if it's playing in NC?

:hi:
