Thank you for your stupid reply.

We all can tell you've got a big fat ass that you carry around with ya, fat
fella. And you're assholism is astonishing! PEW!!! Bathe once in awhile. Me
and the neighbors are ready to file a complaint.

FYI: a number of highly regarded chefs including Anthony Bourdain
praised the film as being the "most accurate film representation of
how a great restaurant kitchen really functions". Not to mention the
fact that it's hysterical and full of inside "foodie" jokes I feel
sorry for you, you missed a good story and a lot of laughs!

Actually, Lynn, I got the DVD for a chef friend of mine, she loved it and
said it was spot - on and everyone else liked it a lot, too. I wasn't able

It's the only movie I ever paid to see more than once- like 7 times! I
also have the soundtrack, and the movie, too...I took my Dad to see
it, which was rather uncomfortable during the "Gimp" scene- LOL!!

merryb,

I realized, too late in life that the TV cartoon background music (in my
day) was classical music!!!

I whistled it while I worked, in later years. I was accused of not working
while whistling!!! Supposedly you can't do both at the same time!!!

Best,

Andy

I have to SO agree with that one. ;-D Reminds me a lot of Looney Toons.
Lots of subtle adult humor that most children (hopefully) don't
understand!

WALL-E just came out on DVD yesterday (or today). I saw it last week -
the bootleg version. I tghink it's the highest rated Pixar film yet.
8.7 on IMDB.

A lot of Disney seems to be like that- I guess they figure they need

"Review by Craig Butler

Darby O'Gill and the Little People is an utterly charming little fantasy
that should captivate all sorts of little people, while providing more than
sufficient entertainment for their parents. Darby presents a very Hollywood
version of Ireland but does so in such a convivial manner that few will
complain about its accuracy -- and, wonder of wonders, it's one film that
finds beauty in Irish locations that are not always emerald green. Darby is
also delightfully straightforward about its fantasy, with no long
explanations and sidebars, just a few words here and there to explain the
bare bones about leprechauns. The film also boasts a fine cast, from the
jaunty, irrepressible Darby of Albert Sharpe to the youthfully handsome
Michael of Sean Connery to the mischievous, impish leprechaun king of Jimmy
O'Dea. Robert Stevenson directs the proceedings with a smooth hand, deftly
mixing the comic and the fantastic, the romantic and the dramatic, and
throwing in a frightful banshee sequence to boot. Best of all, Darby has
some marvelous special effects, from the aforementioned banshee and its
concurrent black coach to the legion of dancing, prancing little people that
light up the screen. It's a merry, engaging frolic of a movie.

Baby boomers who may not remember the plot particulars of Walt Disney's
Darby O'Gill and the Little People nonetheless retain fond memories of
Disney's publicity campaign, which included an episode of the producer's
weekly TV series, wherein the actor playing leprechaun king Brian (Jimmy
O'Dea) was passed off as a genuine little person... The principal drawing
card of Darby O'Gill and the Little People is its special effects, the most
famous of which finds a life-sized Darby O'Gill fiddling away as hundreds of
tiny leprechauns dance about him. Even in this era of computerized "F/X,"
few films have been able to duplicate the sublimely convincing visual
magic - and the effortless charm - of this 1959 Disney effort..."

I remember that one, especially because of Sean...
---------------

GM replies:

Shelley Winters writes in one of the volumes of her autobiography (a great
read, and not ghost - written) that around that time she and Sean had a
torrid affair, they had met through actor friends in London when he was
still living in an unheated cold - water flat. She recalls that he was new
in Hollywood and she took him around showing him the place in her Cadillac
convertible...

When he finally was earning good money he gifted her with a mink coat - and
also a sterling silver ankle bracelet engraved with the words "Heavens
Above!"...that Shelley "got around", as they say.

;-)

There is a featurette on the DVD called _Mr. Connery Goes To Hollywood_...

Shelley Winters was definitely a character! I'll never forget her in
the Poseidon Adventure- swimming and then having a heart attack...Gene
Hackman was great in that too- sooo intense!

Yeah, we have it "saved until we delete" on TiVo and watch it every once in
awhile.

You've seen Nemo, right, Andy?

It was pretty cool. Everybody's been shopping at Walmart, eating
junk food, using their high tech cell phones and they all so got
lazy and fat that nobody can walk any more. All the cheap products
they bought at Walmart now litter planet so badly that all humans
had to move into outer space.

The first half of the movie doesn't have any spoken dialog.

I have to confess that I thought the white robot's name was "Steve"
for longer than I should have. Not until the big, steamy love scene
did I find it was "Eve". Duh.

Mary,

Yes. I liked that too! Need to watch it again.

Very touching animated love story as I remember.

Best,

Andy

I did... several times - and the sequel too. They're both fun to
watch.

"Moose and squirrel" were classic childhood entertainment.

I liked Fractured Fairy Tales and Peabody & Sherman.

And Crusader Rabbit.

Davy & Goliath was the first claymation I remember. Gumby was OK (loved the
Blockheads!)

Sis would wake me up on weekend mornings just about before the sun came up
and we'd quiety sit 2 feet in front of the black and white TV watching
cartoons and make "peas" out of wonder bread (no crust!). What a great time
of life!.

OH, and Popeye! That's when I started liking girls. Actually I think it was
Darla ("Little Rascals) who sparked my interest.

Is it good? I watched reviews/previews and it looks a little bland...

but I'll withhold final judgement until I've watched the whole thing.

Today's cartoons don't hold a candle to the ones in the 60's thru the
80's. Wtf happened?

Even the Smurfs were better than much of today's drivel, except of
course Looney Tunes. <g>

Omelet,

You could wake me up for breakfast after midnight(!!!), with the REQUIRED
two slices of wonderbread and (YOU have to help me break off the crust)
before our favorite cartoon shows, AND you CAN'T touch the dial, or else
I'm NOT getting out of bed at such an unGodly hour!!! And I'd be allowed to
punch you, being my sis and "stuff"!

Pretzel sticks and ice cream!?! You can wake me up anytime!!! I may not be
smart, but I ain't stupid!!!

Omelet,

It was kinda/sorta more amorous to adults in the audience. Maybe even kids,
holding hands?

Like me and Mary Ann, (who let me put my arm around her) as far back as I
can't remember. I remember she DIDN'T want to marry me OR go steady, at
twelve!

Best,

Andy

It got an 8.7 rating on IMDB. There are only 14 movies, ever, that
rated higher than that.

I'm not sure it deserved that high a rating, but it's still a very
worthwhile movie. It's something you can watch many times and see
something out of the corner of your eye you didn't see before.
