I must wonder if it could be said that this thread has taken on a life of its own HA.. well wonder no more. (from page one.. or is it two?? I think it was page two.. but I am losing track now. ha... And Masha says: I am coming to feel that this thread is evil as it has been haunting me from the mom...

Ha!!!!!!!!!! Jackie.. I kept waiting and WAITING for poor Tybalt to get up too! (I was half expecting them to all leave.. and then he would sit up and say, "Hey.. where did everybody go?" :lol: Too funny. After seeing that I feel certain we need to consider Tinker's recommendation (from Th...

Wow!! Great input from everyone!! I am really enjoying this chat.. even if the subject is usually one that folks find LESS than enjoyable. ha. I appreciate everyone receiving my original post in the spirit I meant it.. as I was a bit worried folks would find it too "off-putting" a topic to...

Goodbye sweet Shirley.. And thanks for posting that clip of her Ms. Favell.. you are right.. she really WAS that good. And she just brought so much joy to so many.. she will be missed. This one is a personal favorite... Seems fitting to post here now: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3HChjjs...

Hello, Lucky.. thanks for raising the bar bringing up WAR and the way death (from war or battle) can be portrayed on film. I think we MUST make it an "even dozen" and add category #12: War Casualties (pick a war, any war) And yes.. I agree with you about the scene from GWTW.. it is overwhe...

Did someone already mention Ian Hunter in The Long Voyage Home? SPOILERS I really love his storyline in the film, even though he bites the dust early on. I love how the buildup makes you think, along with the rest of the crew, that he is a Nazi spy, when in reality his secret is that he was an alco...

Hello there ladies!! Miss Maven.. thanks for chiming in!! I enjoyed your additions to my ongoing list. I think we for SURE need to at least add a subcategory for the "TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD" group to allow for the young and "Innocent" to be sure! That poor sweet Elizabeth Taylor...

Hello Jackie!! Thanks for stopping by!! Cat People - In this film we get not one, but two deaths. First, the rather arrogant psychiatrist who makes a pass at Irina gets what I consider his just desserts That is a great example of "Just Desserts" isn't it?? Ha. He really was an arrogant chu...

Thanks for understanding, Miss Maven.. and thanks for your kind comments too. So far I have not gotten any takers, ha.. but I DO confess, it is not a topic most folks will see a lot of "chat value" in, perhaps. ha. I just had to find an outlet for my mental chain reaction, I guess. :lol: A...

Ha.. Miss Maven.. I hope I don't owe you an apology.. (but will apologize if I do) because.. aghh.. I see now that I just started a completely different thread (on a completely different topic) but I only NOW I realize that in the name I chose for my thread, ( "This is THE END) I see that I hav...

Ha.. no.. this thread is NOT about James Bond or Skyfall. (but I do love the song.. and the movie :D ) So what IS THE topic of my thread, you ask??? Well.. for lack of a better word.. DEATH! Or more specifically your favorite death SCENES in your favorite movies. (and what makes them your favorite, ...

Hello Mr. Nollen, As the least educated among most of the folk who post here (at least in terms of facts and personal info about all three "bad" men), I won't trouble you by asking you anything.. I wouldn't know where to begin. ha. :) So instead I will just interrupt long enough to say how...

Please forgive the interruption, but I just watched the most amazing and wonderful film earlier today and if I don't mention it to someone I may burst. ha. :D I recently bought a copy of the film HUGO on DVD and it sat on my shelf and mocked me for over a month before I ever watched it. ha.. But I F...

I went in and looked it up.. and I remember a conversation between (I think) Mr. Movieman and FrankGrimes in my "Noir Walk" thread at TCM about how shockingly violent parts of this movie were.. yeah, that Mary was doing quite a job if she was going back and forth between those two...I bet ...
