Sure he does! Like a good little Fraulein, I even taught him how to open the lid on his Stein. :P

Today is the very last day to VOICE YOUR CHOICE in Round Three. Two of the four races are already decided but the other two are still up for grabs.

Let us hear your opinion as we cut the field down to four worthy contenders.

Beer's fine for a dog, so long as it contains no chocolate or raisins!

P.S: Come to think of it, I'd avoid the Budweiser brand, too; I've never heard that it's bad for dogs, but it sure abuses the internal organs of humans!

Chocolate or raisins in beer...no good German girl would even think of such a thing!

Peanuts in Coke are much better, take it from a country girl.

Mr. Arkadin:

Shame on you, don't you remember Lee showing Jimmy Stewart how the little dog drinks bear out of the empty ashtray, then goes to sleep in Anatomy of a Murder?

I can't believe how many people view but don't vote. Would you believe, I was at Walmart yesterday and I picked up Once Upon a Time in the West, for $5.00. It's the two disc, collectors edition with all the documentaries, conversations, bells and whistles, etc. in the clearance bin. Not that I want to watch it, but I have a friend who has never seen it, and I'll lend it to him.

Err, yes that's why I made the statement. :wink:

I've got that same copy of Once Upon a Time in the West. It's great buy. You might check it out with your friend, I honestly think you'd like this film. It's absolutely nothing like My Name is Nobody.

I've said it before, I don't really care who wins this thing. I think it's very insightful in getting to know others tastes and finding new favorites. ChiO was so passionate about 40 Guns that I ordered a copy ($6.00 from Nina's Discount Oldies). I'm sure I'm now obligated to turn in a report to him after viewing. 8)

If you are not SCREAMING with delight within the first five minutes, I'll - I'll - I'll formally renounce it as the worst Barbara Stanwyck-Samuel Fuller collaboration ever.

I have to find a copy of DEVIL'S DOORWAY, nominated by Ann Harding, I believe..

If you do find a copy, let me know where! I love that movie.

I recorded (VHS) my copy of DEVILS DOORWAY (which made my original list as well) off TCM; it's an MGM title and it turns up there every so often. Another indispensible Mann/Alton collaboration.

yes, I have a recorded-off-vhs version, too, it's just not the greatest quality. Since Man of the West is coming to dvd in May, that, I believe, only leaves Devil's Doorway among my favorite Mann westerns for release.

In the Pacific Northwest, there's a strangely popular softdrink (bottled in Texas, I believe) called Big Red; it's sold in clear-glass, pry-open, longneck bottles, is mildly carbonated, electric red in color and flavored like cherry bubblegum - and the favorite way to enjoy it is to drop a small bag of spanish peanuts into it, and then leisurely slurp it down while driving.
Consumed that way, it's widely known as "a trucker's buffet".

And Anne, I thought you were a life-long Chi-Town gal! How is it you know where the bear sits in the buckwheat?
