Mr Parker! That's definitely how I remember him most fondly.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
I thought he was amazing in Unsinkable Molly Brown. Really--I had a huge crush on him when I was 7 or 8. He's has a wonderful baritone. You can get a sense of him in this clip: [link]
Am I mean if I post that that must have been a very emotional table for three? Maybe just evil, like Keith.(He has been dressing better lately, at that.)
Me and D are watching Gran Torino, me for the second time. It's so hard not to telegraph what's about to happen in advance. When Thao was on his way home from work and the gang pulled up D said, "oh no." and I blurted out, "do you want to put the DVD in the freezer?"
Damn, but I'd forgotten what a fantastic, old school western Silverado is.
Silverado is awesome. I love the music and the whole epic sweep of it.
I just set my dvr to record Stagecoach later this week off of TCM. Love that movie, and think I'll burn this onto disc.
I'm also recording I Know Where I'm Going, a really wonderful romantic comedy starring the very young Wendy Hiller. This is a film that Local Hero was obviously giving a homage to, including the outsider (Hiller) falling in love with the local Scots hunk while waiting for the weather to settle so she can go to the distant island and marry the local rich titled guy for his money/class.
I first saw it back in 1990 after seeing the TV Guide description call it "the most romantic movie ever made."
I'm pretty sure TNT was showing The Force of July this weekend with all the Star Wars films.
Spike did the Force of July. TNT did too?
