You just know he's going to bring spiritual awakening to everyone around him. Maybe it would be worse if he did it in blackface.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, and seriously --
A hint to DVR-equipped fans of the classics. TCM is showing Bombshell at 2:30 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, April 26. A great screwball comedy starring Jean Harlow, featuring possibly the greatest temper tantrum in movie history.

I don't think Fred Pete has seen the 1950 Mexican melodrama Aventurera. But he should.
And I will TiVo Harlow tonight as well.

If I only had a brain...
According to legend, Jean Harlow was once introduced to Margot Asquith. Harlow kept calling Asquith "MarGOT" rather than "MarGO". Finally Asquith turned to her and said "The T is silent, as in 'Harlow'".

Ouch. Despite her screen image, I don't think Jean was particularly slutty in real life.

I can't even.

Still, what a fantastic line. Them's spicy branes.

Au contraire. She slept around a lot; one of her marriages was hastily arranged by the studio to prevent her being named in William Powell's divorce.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ehn. The bios I checked did say she was much married - the first time at 16 and lasting a couple of years, the second lasting eight months, and the third leaving her widowed at two months when her husband committed suicide - but after the suicide really nothing until she hooked up with Powell, whom one website describes as "the love of her life." They never married, but she also didn't marry or even fool around with anyone else after she met him, and a couple of years later she was dead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
William Powell, yum.
