MissG- I've been lurking here, and I just wanted to say that your photos are marvelous . I like the adjectives you all have used for Gable - rugged, durable, melancholy, wary, natural. I just think he fit comfortably in his own skin but not in other people's opinions of him. I am appreciating that n...

I'm in love with that Cagney sandwich photo - the look on his face is just hysterical.....

Fantastic description, Lynn. Thanks for the complete rundown, for those of us who will never have these opportunities --- first picnicking with Mr. Pennell, and then Stagecoach on the big screen. I cannot believe there hasn't been a full restoration .... As for the Wagon Master dvd, I am as excited ...

That's an amazing story! I've got a copy of Wind Sand and Stars floating around here somewhere, you all made me want to go read it over again. His words just ring with beauty and soul. I have always had the dream of adventure, and when I can, I look to Saint Exupery to guide me. It's too bad that so...

Now, see? That is the difference. Here, things are explained to us in a forthright and direct manner. I gotta tell you, I really appreciate it.

Lynn, I just realized I didn't respond to the most interesting part of your post.... that THE SEARCHERS was made in 28 days! Now, I would have a hard time believing that any movie could be made in 28 days, but a film like Wagon Master or maybe Rio Grande being made in that amount of time wouldn't su...

Great article! I love the way he writes, he's very down to earth, and gets right to the point. He writes like I would assume he speaks... Again, like in his book, he gets this story across, while remaining respectful of his subjects. Respect of elders and co-workers is so rare nowadays, it seems qui...

You worked in a bank too, well they are the same here too. Business speak I hate it! Ha! Yes, it's awful, isn't it? I worked there for thirteen years. We started out as a friendly, neighborhood bank, and eventually the bosses decided they had to compete with the big banks, so the use of jargon got ...

Ollie, thanks for starting the thread... I am very excited to see this movie. I have only seen photos from it long ago in a beautiful Gish sisters book that belonged to my own sister. All this information only makes me want to see it more. I also believe this is going to be the restored version with...

I just want to say the biggest THANK YOU to the admins here for your above and beyond service during the technical difficulties. I have seen a HUGE difference in the way websites handle these problems and I can honestly say that you folks did an outstanding job getting things up and going again, and...

Lynn, I am so envious! Thanks for reporting on your "picnic" with Mr. Pennell and friends..... It sounds awesome. I just finished Mr. Carey, Jr.'s book, The Company of Heroes yesterday, after getting it on inter-library loan. It was so good, I regret that I did not buy it in the first plac...

So happy to see you back in action....

Looks like we might have to start a crazy dad thread.... My mom was really cool. She had her moments, but don't we all? My dad, on the other hand, was/is a control freak with the brain of an Einstein and little or no social skills. In his mind, family are the people you make fun of most.... However,...

I find that there are no words adequate enough to thank you for your service to all of us and to this country.

So I will just say thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

"We must service the customer"

This phrase was used countless times when I worked at the bank. It made me want to laugh every time someone would say it.

What happened to serving the customer?
