Nellie LaRoy, Come back!!!!

Nellie LaRoy, I think your profile got booted in a system glitch, but I know you can read postings here without logging on.

So please, come back!!!!


I think I can express myself best in song:

"In a Rolls or a van
Wrapped in mink or Saran
Anyway that you can
Come back to me!"

Re: I Just Watched...

Except for her early appearances on the show, I think Joan Collins always wore wigs as Alexis on DYNASTY. https://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/20700000/Dynasty-Joan-Collins-dynasty-20763448-500-416.jpg Joan has been upfront about wearing wigs throughout her career, claiming it "saved" ...

Re: Wicked (movie version)

OK, I've seen what I believe to be the first official trailer for the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, and I am cautiously optimistic that this might be a fun movie. Heck, it has to be better than Wonka . ;) I actually liked Wonka . . . But, yeah, I will be seeing the Wicked movie and I am...

Re: Wicked (movie version)

From what I've seen in the trailer, they've included elements from the original Baum books that aren't in the play. For example, there's a quick shot of Dorothy (without ruby slippers, as that's MGM's invention and IP) and friends visiting Oz. The stage play is really about the backstory of the two...

Re: I Just Watched...

These narcissistic sociopathic murderers think they're smarter than everyone else, most especially the police, so in their sick minds always believe they'll never get caught. That of course is the pathology. Recently watched Oxygen's disgusting Selena and Yolanda, The Secrets Between Them. Yolanda'...

Re: 2024 TCM Film Festival

It doesn't look like I'll be attending the 2024 Film Festival. "Waaaaaaaaaaah!" {breaks into Lucille Ball imitation} Last year my mom and my aunt surprised my cousin and me by treating us all to the festival and a stay in Hollywood and Santa Monica. We all had a great time. I hope to atten...

Re: I Just Watched...

Watched the next episode of the Feud miniseries, which again took some liberties. (There never was a documentary filmed about Capote's famous black and white ball, but I assume that this was invented for the sole purpose of getting an episode that is over 90% B&W [ and in the old academy ratio ...

Re: I Just Watched...

One of the moments I liked best in Cane River was when the girl was accusing the guy's family of not being black enough, and he told her that when he was growing up, whenever someone black appeared on TV, whoever was watching would call out "Colored!" and everyone else would run to see th...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Something I've been pondering this week . .. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO JON VOIGHT??? The once great actor has gone off the rails! A video he made in 2020 comparing Trump to Jesus (yes, that Jesus!) has been resurrected (pun intended). I didn't see it until now so at first, I thought it was meant to be a ...

I am from a different world, one without Swifties. In my world there is Diana Krall. They can both exist in the same world. Be careful not to squash sources of light. When old meets new . . . "So tell me now And I won't ask again . . ." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE_wbglGAzA

Re: I Just Watched...

The writing is a bit excessive and makes at least two glaring mistakes (a flashback scene set in the 1950s mentions 60 Minutes which did not premiere until 1968, and Family, a series not on until early 1976, is seen on a TV screen in a scene set several months earlier), but it does capture the deva...
