I omitted the former from my list as one of President Ordovicius's chums (http://taliesinttlg.<BR/>blogspot.com/2008/08/12<BR/>-movie-meme.html) had included it in his, and Targets didn't quite make it.<BR/><BR/>With you on Keaton too. A colleague of mine is convinced that planes only fly because all the passengers are conned by the physics spiel. If they thought for one moment about where they were, it would all be over fast. This moment of self-knowledge would have accounted for most of the Bermuda Triangle incidents, if they had actually happened.<BR/><BR/>We must do it again when we've all changed our minds.No Good Boyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859104068516964533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-9381733668997986292008-09-07T19:16:00.000+01:002008-09-07T19:16:00.000+01:00Lizzie: don't be intimidated!

I thought I’d seen "Hellzapoppin", but I thought it starred Sammy Davis Jr, so maybe I haven’t; anything involving Marx Brothers jokewriter Nat Perrin gets my vote, and by God you’re right about that lindy hop. Ah, we agree that <I>the world divides into people who love Chaplin and people who love Keaton</I> but I haven’t seen so many of the latter’s films (including Sherlock Jr.) so maybe you can still win me over! Boris Karloff was a fine actor, I totally agree - and a fine cricketer too, I believe - and I’d love to see him bring out the non-melodramatic in Bela Lugosi (who was born not so far from where I am now). You appear to have <B>compendious knowledge</B>, Kevin, and you’ve inspired me to buy some more old videos on eBay. Yes, we should do this again, I feel you have more to tell us...Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-6027626350418297482008-09-06T16:35:00.000+01:002008-09-06T16:35:00.000+01:00I always had you pegged as one who swims serenely ...I always had you pegged as one who swims serenely in life's waters Lavinia!Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-90356897324657273102008-09-05T05:32:00.000+01:002008-09-05T05:32:00.000+01:00I haven't seen any of these movies but "Hellzapopp...I haven't seen any of these movies but "Hellzapoppin" could very well be the title of my auto-biography!Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.com
