Movie Souvenir Game

I remember a film in which Veronica Lake blew herself up with a hand grenade.
Is that the film you mentioned Speak-Softly?

As for the 14 year old boy TB, I suspected nothing.
I think he's been through the mill a bit since he was found out though.
They even checked and discovered he was reading the thread as they were analyzing everything.
Perhaps he's had his punishment.

So, I can keep the cat.
Yay!
 
AJ reporting for duty!

I'd like Jimmy Durante's horn please.

My mother used to do an impression of Jimmy Durante - she'd put a paper cup in her mouth covering her nose and sang "Playing my pea-anna."
She used to call our noses a schnozzle & a baby's dummy a snolley .

Just thought I'd share that ... :D
 
Had to google that!

Oh NO! .... Not An old antique dealer :D

Only kidding.
Says it's a horror.... reaRAB like a horror!

Let me know what you thought of it.

Oh .... I'll have the needle and thread as my souvenir please.
 
'Some Like It Hot' is Marilyn's greatest film I think.
I read she was a nightmare on set though as she could not remember her lines.
Curtis & Lemmon ... superb!

I'd like Sugar Kane Kowalczyk's (Marilyn's) ukulele.
I could be a nightmare playing that :D
The cat already runs when I sing 'The Hills Are Alive'

Fancy fall asleep during films Pia.
Big bucket of popcorn, that's what you need. Keep chomping on that and it will keep you awake.
 
It was pretty good - quite haunting, but a bit violent. The only needle & thread I remember seeing in it was the one the mortician used to sew up the dead body's mouth.

I don't want the Cronos device, but I'll have something else (in spoilers in case people don't want to know what happens):
actually, I've changed my mind. I'll have Aurora's teddy bear :D.

Got another one by the same director for later this evening - The Devil's Backbone, which I've wanted to see for ages.
 
I can't remember much of this film. I seem to forget most films I see (great age!) - so can I have some fake cheques as well?

I've just played the character game, especially for you :D
 
I expect all their generation did the same impression.
She was 10 years older than Eric though so ... perhaps he copied her!

(Off to bed now. Reading about Jack the Ripper oooh!)
 
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
(Lee Hays and Pete Seeger)
:D
 
Hi TB, AJ Pia

Skipping the Mad, Mad World, I haven't seen it for ages but I do remember it irritating me, sorry.
'Psycho'
I think this a truly great film. Saw it for the first time when I was about 14 then semi regularly over the years, always was engrossed and kept on noticing details that made it better.
However, the last time I saw it about 2-3 years ago, it had the weirdest effect on me.
I was watching it with the children, one of my "you are going to sit down and watch this film with me and appreciate it, because it is a classic and you will be a dumba** for the rest of your lives if you don't" plus it's very good.
The film really, really upset me, I cried all the way through on and off, it's so sad. I didn't want Janet Leigh to die, I didn't want Anthony Perkins to be so disturbed. I sat there in absolute horror and misery watching these poor people. The children thought I had gone a bit nuts, they did enjoy the film though and were impressed.
So, as you can imagine choosing souvenirs is not a problem but narrowing it down to one might be.
One of Norman's stuffed birRAB.
The grey wig.
The money wrapped in the newspaper.
The indented mattress.
Mother.
The swaying light bulb.
The signed register.
It has to be the light bulb but always swaying, an awe inspiring bit of film making in my opinion.
Sorry to go on for so long but it's in my top ten. :o
