(Barb) OMG, he reminds me of someone...who?!" Then it hit me....the dimples, the nose, the eyes, he looked like ODB! LOL Did you bring this to his attention. Did you get his name and number?

(Tress) Good foot scenes?? Watch his feet in PM, Like feet? You would have hit the jackpot in 3DOR. He kept wrapping his feet around the bar stool legs.I knudged Karen...but she had already hit on that. He has loooong toes...like a gorilla.

(Pam) LOL Did you bring this to his attention. Did you get his name and number? LOLing at the very thought of it...No, I did not mention it, the uh, situation was hardly right for it (OK, maybe I do remember his name) though I was so startled at first, acting normal was the main thing on my mind. Besides, there are original works of art and then there are reasonable facsimiles. And I'm fairly sure we are both married...LOL

For all you digit demons, toe jammers, and piggie lovers:

(Evelyn) You would have hit the jackpot in 3DOR. He kept wrapping his feet around the bar stool legs.I knudged Karen...but she had already hit on that. He has loooong toes...like a gorilla. Lucky, lucky ladies!! I would have had to have been carried out of there (just imagining ODB's feet wrapped around a bar stool makes me light-headed)...love his gorilla feet... (Barb S)...there are original works of art and then there are reasonable facsimiles. Exactly! It may be close but it just isn't 'da man'. And (with me anyway), I need that voice. I seem to respond to that range his voice is in (much like a dog whistle for me). ;-) Thank you Mari!! As I type this, all I can see are his feet. Love the half hidden foot, the bent big toe *sigh*

(Mari)For all you digit demons, toe jammers, and piggie lovers: LOL. Thanks, Mari, and Tress, I can see just the toes as I type this too. OOHH. (Evelyn)He kept wrapping his feet around the bar stool legs. Why do I have this sudden urge to be a bar stool? As for sexy hands...His first scene in SLOW just shows his hands typing on a lap top. I could replay that over and over. I noticed the little dent in his thumb, too. V.V. sensual. Makes me want to run my fingers over it.

(Evelyn) He has loooong toes...like a gorilla. Mmmmmmm...they look like hors D'oeuvres to me... (Tress) Lucky, lucky ladies!! I would have had to have been carried out of there (just imagining ODB's feet wrapped around a bar stool makes me light-headed)...love his gorilla feet... ditto (Mari) For all you digit demons, toe jammers, and piggie lovers: Mari, thanks for the picture! But a clarifying point...It is only ODB's toes which are so particularly appealing, I am always partial to men's hands but the feet, Good God! ew!! He is the exception...

For all the foot lovers (including yours truly), there's a B&W pic of him sitting on the sand in front of a boat, I think, that I just adore. First thing I noticed were the feet, then the big grin, then....everything. It's one of my favorites. ;-) Anybody have that? I think someone put it up a little while ago somewhere, but I don't know who and where. (Tress) Love the half hidden foot, the bent big toe *sigh* I love that, too. Wonder if he does that a lot. I tend to do that when I'm sitting and occasionally standing in barefeet...curl all my toes under, usually alternating both feet. Have done that since I was a child. Very odd. ;-) Thanks for the pic, Mari.

Oh, Mari, Mari! Thank you! Sigh....... (Tress)...(and as an aside, I also noticed he didn't wash his hands after he pee'd in this movie...thinking about the hands again). Well, that was a scary place. I'm sure neither of the guys wanted to spend a millisecond longer in that men's room than was absolutely necessary.

(Dorine)there's a B&W pic of him sitting on the sand in front of a boat, Anybody have that? I think someone put it up a little while ago somewhere, but I don't know who and where. Great, Dorine. You get me all fired up like you were going to post the picture, then, pfft, nothing, nada. Sheesh.

(Dorine)...there's a B&W pic of him sitting on the sand in front of a boat, I think, that I just adore. First thing I noticed were the feet... Anybody have that? I think someone put it up a little while ago somewhere, but I don't know who and where. I remember the picture well! It was my 'welcome' picture and Elizabeth posted it back on Topic 163. I have it at home on my computer, and if I knew how to do anything cool, I would post it for you, but I am hopelessly graphically challenged...sorry. And you are right....great toe picture! (Rika) Well, that was a scary place. I'm sure neither of the guys wanted to spend a millisecond longer in that men's room than was absolutely necessary. He was forgiven the second after it happened! ;-)

Ok, because I love you all so much and because he's showing his lil gorilla piggies, here we go!

Thank you Jeanie, Now I can forgive Dorine. The toes are wonderful, but so is the smile. But, wait. Look at the length of the fingers.hmmmmmmmm.yum. If it's true what they say. Can you imagine!

Thanks Jeanie! (lindak) But, wait. Look at the length of the fingers.hmmmmmmmm.yum. If it's true what they say. Can you imagine! This was talked about last night on MTV (yes, I watch MTV). A show on urban myths. They consulted a urologist, brought in 4 guys (with various shoe sizes) and did a little study. The shoe size has nothing to do with the other (thought this was funny to 'watch'), but the urologist did note that in his 20+ years of experience, he has noted that size of fingers does appear to have a correlation. Just something to think about as we gaze at the picture...(sorry, if this went a bit off-sides) ;-) And keep in mind this is MTV!

(Tress) in his 20+ years of experience, he has noted that size of fingers does appear to have a correlation I told ya!! Didn't I tell ya! Heehee....now I have independent corroboration. I mean, the madam was one thing but a *urologist*! HE would know. But makes ya wonder, what he's doin' looking? Thank you Jeanie, that picture is soooo good for so many different reasons.

Thanks Jeanie for posting that pic. It's nice to see it appear every once in a while. Maybe even more that that. ;-) Psst, Linda! I would've posted it if I'd had time to look for it before I went out. ;-)

Oooh, Jeanie! I just love that picture! Thanks so much!

Great picture Jeanie. Thanks. I think a Urologist has to look, doesn't he Barb. It's a part (LOL) of the job. Unfortunately all I do is imagine but have the gut feeling he is no small disappointment in that area -;)

Great conversations today, both here and over on 165!! But, wait. Look at the length of the fingers.hmmmmmmmm.yum. If it's true what they say. Can you imagine! Actually, since this topic is being addressed (knew you guys would get around to it sooner rather than later!), my workmate, who has a science degree in biochemistry and has studied genetics comprehensively, has stated in no uncertain terms that there is a direct correlation between the two - the gene which controls one also controls the other. So there you go - it's scientific fact. So every time I see those beautiful hands, with their LOOOOOONG (and rather SUBSTANTIAL) fingers, I can't help but imagine.... Is it hot in here?? *LOL* And the image of this man dancing in tight black leather pants in front of a mirror is almost too much to bear! We don't get HP until Nov 28, and there's no guarantee whatsoever that the WAGW trailer will be included, and at $15 for a ticket, that's a gamble, isn't it? Oh well, it's a gamble I'll just have to take...

(Jane)Is it hot in here?? *LOL* It's always hot in here.

(FanPam) Unfortunately all I do is imagine but have the gut feeling he is no small disappointment in that area -;) I do a lot of imagining as well...but there are some movies, were, well, you just can't help but notice! I think you're right. He wouldn't disappoint! ;-) I often wonder if he's boxers or briefs...ohhh...the things that fill my day! ;-D

A Reminder -- On Bravo in the USA tonight - Behind the scenes: "The English Patient" Original Airdate: November 25, 2002. Future Airings: Page to Screen, Bravo Nov 18 11:00pm Page to Screen, Bravo Nov 19 04:00pm Page to Screen, Bravo Nov 24 12:00pm Page to Screen, Bravo Nov 25 08:00pm Page to Screen, Bravo Nov 25 11:00pm

Thank you, Murph. Glad to see this highlighted, although I consider this NEWS! ;-) (Although am curious how something with an original airdate of 11/25/02 can have future airdates in the past?) My TV Guide shows From Page to Screen at 7:00pm (CST) tonight but gives no info on which movie is being discussed.

The Bravo website says TEP tonight at 7 & 10 Central http://bravotv.com/pagetoscreen/english.php Thanks Murph for the heads-up. My favorite film of all time;-))

Thanks for the heads up Murph.

Thanks for the link Evelyn (One of my favorite films too). I see that 12/3 is LA Confidential. Karen - That scheduling sequence is very strange, I agree. Do you want to move this to NEWS? Maybe more will see it over there.

I tuned in late, but can catch the re-run. Any Colin in it?

Nope, except for when he's crashing the plane. Not a mention. He wasn't one of the key characters they discussed. Interesting though, but not essential viewing.

Thanks for headsup on TEP as I taped it. Disappointed he wasn't in it.

I really don't know where to post this... could be "recent Colin", "HP", here, or Odds & Ends.. I made my daughter guess a number between one and four, so here I am. LOL! According to my "Entertainment Weekly", and someone else might've already posted about this, ODB and Ms. Revolta spent some time on the HP set. "After a word with his 13-year-old star, Columbus (the director) moves back behind a video monitor, offering a gentle smile to a gaggle of visitors. (Today's guests: Kelly Preston and Colin Firth, who are shooting the drama WAGW nearby) (shrugging) Has Sirius been cast? If you know, post answer at the HP thread.

Whoops, just realized someone has already reported the thing from Entertainment Weekly. I was going to call attention over here, though, for you ladies who feel that ODB needs a tan. I say, after working many years in a plastic surgeon's (who specialized in skin care) office, that no one needs a tan. Let him use the fake stuff, but tanning bed big no-no! Beside's, like me.. when his hair isn't dyed darker, he could really be considered a red head... tanning bed HEAP BIG No-No for Red HEAD! (pondering why I've suddenly become Tonto) =) Unless, of course, you just want him to turn up with melanoma and die, or be permanently disfigured. (how I'm coming with my guilt trips, Rika.. improving, aren't I.. muhahahahahaha!) (Linda from the current thread) I will say that tight leather pants will definitely allow us to continue our left/right discussions with greater clarity. LOL! Just like a "Latte' Lady" to find, yet, another reason to be happy about this carrying on in front of a mirror! NEW CROTCH SCENES!!!! I can just see us now, once this movie is on DVD (which will probably be sooner than many... yes, I know, I argued the point on the current thread the other day, but I don't really believe this movie is going to be great, I was simply tired of the negativity and decided to take the opposite side just to be contentious.LOL)going forward and back.. "Ok, dear, stop the film NOW!.. Ok, whad'dya think?.. Which side is his googie residing? Is that a shadow???" (nose against the screen)

(Jeanie) Beside's, like me.. when his hair isn't dyed darker, he could really be considered a red head... tanning bed HEAP BIG No-No for Red HEAD! (pondering why I've suddenly become Tonto) =) LOL.....You're right, Tonto! He is mighty fair...Tanning bed in general a big no-no! I did enjoy the pics at the GQ Awards, thought that the bit of sun he had made him look absolutely gorgeous....but, no, I do not want him to get melanoma (or any other oma for that matter). Just had to poke a bit of fun at his pale-ness (a pallor that I replicate as well). ;-) (Jeanie) "Ok, dear, stop the film NOW!.. Ok, whad'dya think?.. Which side is his googie residing? Is that a shadow???" (nose against the screen) ROTFL....the DVD is going to be bought by pre-teen girls (who, if raised properly, will keep this DVD and treasure it forever) and grown women. I have no children at home and absolutely no excuse (except my obsession) to buy this DVD when it comes out....but I will have a copy. And enjoy every slo-mo, freeze frame, zoom minute of it!!! Marketing genius (three cheers to Warner Bros)!!! "Get that Firth guy! The ladies love him...we'll sell billions of DVDs! Get him in leather pants! It'll be better than that time he dove into the water (okay, okay...that's a bit far fetched..)!!"

(Jeanie) Which side is his googie residing? Oh my mercy, had I read that 10 minutes later, you might have been responsible for my demise. Lunch is on the way. One of our favorite restaurants is called Googies. My order is for an original Googie (gourmet burgers to die for.) If I had not been anticipating lunch by the smallest margin and actually checked the boards with lunch in front of me, the consequences might have been disastrous! (Googie? Have never heard it called that before!)

(Jeanie) Which side is his googie residing? Is that a shadow???" (nose against the screen) Googie?! That's a new one on me. Love it! Nose against the screen? Nope, because up that close I'm positively blind, but I'll hover about two feet away with remote in hand... (Tress) I have no children at home and absolutely no excuse (except my obsession) to buy this DVD when it comes out....but I will have a copy. And enjoy every slo-mo, freeze frame, zoom minute of it!!! Marketing genius (three cheers to Warner Bros)!!! I'm with you!! As soon as I saw those pics, I envisioned myself making an indepth DVD slo-mo study! ;-) (Jeanie) no one needs a tan Heavens, no! Although a slight tan looks nice, anything more than that on a fair-skinned person makes me extremely nervous and I want to get on my anti-tan, melanoma soapbox. I spent way too much time in the sun as a youngster (with no sunblock), and regret it now. A pale ODB is just fine with me!

(Jeanie) Which side is his googie residing? (Kathy) Googie?! That's a new one on me. ... Nose against the screen? Nope... but I'll hover about two feet away with remote in hand... LOLing at you all...BTW, my Original Googie burger is wonderful. The burger place has a website, given Kathy's description of herself watching the screen, thought I'd post the URL, we could maybe latch onto the logo for ourselves, it certainly seems appropriate! www.gottagettagoogie.com (gotta love the name!)

I love it, Barb! What a great logo, and so apropos! The rolling eyes, the tongue licking the lips! With a little modification, it would be perfect for our group of HOBWRs (horny broads with remotes).

Sorry, that was horny Old broads. Meant to take out the O, because some of us aren't!

LOL!!! You guys are cracking me up...I'm at work! Shut up! Am very busy and important! ;-D Gotta get me a googie!

(Barb)Original Googie burger is wonderful. ROFL!!! Yes, I bet it was.. which side was the mayo on? Actually, when Sam became old enough to say anything he began calling his.. ummm... extra appendage that none of us, here, have (hopefully).. lol) a googie. So, as the younger boys were born that's all we called it. Sam was appalled with me when he realized one day in kindergarten that it wasn't actually called a "googie" but something else! Tress, Barb, Kathy.. I guess we'll have to form another "subgroup" of firthettes for you.. I think "Googie Girls" would suit, whad'dya think?

(Barb) Original Googie burger is wonderful. (Jeanie) ROFL!!! Yes, I bet it was.. which side was the mayo on? And I want to know if that was a 1/4 lb Googie or a 1/2 lb Googie??? ;-D I've been a "Googie Girl" for a long time...just didn't know it had a name!

(Tress -- who is evidently no longer at work or who is done being important! ;-P) And I want to know if that was a 1/4 lb Googie or a 1/2 lb Googie??? ;-D Full size dear, full size, in all its lip-licking glory!

I just wrongly posted this on 165: Anyone watch the Bravo "Stage to Screen" last night? Good program with lots of the book...good comments by the cast and crew.....except for the gentleman my husband calls the "forgotten man." If it weren't for a very quick pic of the airplane crashing, you would never know Colin Firth was even in the movie. Still it was good to see it all again. Best explanation I have heard for awhile why the script was altered from the book - i.e. taking away the book's ending and relegating Kip to a more minor role. Kip was the major character in the book. Ondaatje explained that the reason Kip left Hannah in the book was because he read about the atomic bomb dropping on Japan and had to go home to his Asian roots. Minghella wanted the "family feeling" among the movie's groups to stay in the forefront, and felt that bringing in the atomic bomb broadened and changed the focus on the characters. Worth seeing if you can. It is repeated several times.

(Jeanie) I think "Googie Girls" would suit, whad'dya think? Well, for the last 20-something years I've referred to myself as a Goober. I guess now I'll be a Googie Goober. Sam became old enough to say anything he began calling his.. ummm... extra appendage that none of us, here, have (hopefully).. lol) a googie. You aren't going to tell Sam that his EA is now Drool material, are you?

(BarbS) (Tress -- who is evidently no longer at work or who is done being important! ;-P) LOL.....Ohhhhh...drat! My secret is out. I am still at work, which means that I am neither busy nor important. I was trying to have at least the outward appearance of being a big-wig... *snort* ;-D (BarbS) Full size dear, full size, in all its lip-licking glory! That's what I like to hear!!! (KathyF) You aren't going to tell Sam that his EA is now Drool material, are you? Oh my! Imagine the therapy bills later!! ;-)

Well, thank God everyone has gone home here at my work, because I've been catching up on today's posts, and there is no way I would be able to contain the laughter! (KathyF) You aren't going to tell Sam that his EA is now Drool material, are you? (Tress)Oh my! Imagine the therapy bills later!! ;-) LOL! I've heard he can do a near-perfect imitation of ODB's voice, to add the EA as Drool-worthy would indeed give the poor boy a complex (what kind of complex remains to be seen, hee hee). (Kathy F)What a great logo, and so apropos! The rolling eyes, the tongue licking the lips! ROTFL!! We have a LOGO now?!!! WOO HOO!!

(Murph) i.e. taking away the book's ending and relegating Kip to a more minor role. Kip was the major character in the book. I saw the show, thanks to you, Murph.was disappointed Colin's name wasn't even mentioned. Jsut for the record I liked the film more than the book. Ondaatje's prose notwithstanding.

(looking around with a red face and noting that poor Evelyn & Mary were actually trying to have a "normal" conversation) I'm sorry ladies. Perhaps we should have an entire different thread that's called "Colin Chaos"?

(Jeanie) Perhaps we should have an entire different thread that's called "Colin Chaos"? I've wondered the same...a community place just to be non-topically silly or just together, not that I like you guys or anything -- oops, almost forgot to insert the winkie! ;-) Spring has the Porch, perhaps we could have something like "The Loft" or something else? Although I'm sure those who've been around here a bit are used to ignoring the baser frivolity.

Yeah, I like that idea, Barb. Wot? You don't like me? Now, who around here wouldn't like me? (whoops, forgot my emoticon, ringing the siren for the Thread Nazis & The Winkie Police) Help, Help, they're after meeee! Where's my papers? Where's my passport?? In all honesty, I do like the idea of having a different thread for me, and others who have a tendency to go loo loo at the slightest provocation, because I become embarrassed when our more serious connoisseurs of all things colinery attempt to actually have an intelligent conversation and meanwhile I'm flitting around like a junebug on a string. So, frauline.. errmmm.. I mean Ms. Karen, do you think it's a good idea?

Yikes, I did it again! (in the above message insert winkie after "frauline". You're a good eggie, Karen. I'm just teasing you and I've been in a weird mood these past few days. I do apologize to you and others that I might have slighted with my foolishness.

Listen, ladies - Give me "Colin Chaos" any day. This from a woman who lives with "Crowe Chaos" all the time!

De-lurking... Now this has always been a fun place to lurk what with the right/left discussions along with the serious fingers, toes, hair debates but today had to be the best... Googie??? Googie burgers (Is that to go or..)??? LMAO.. You ladies are a crazy bunch.. (and I've decided that if I'm ever stranded on a desert island you're all coming along). Pssst Jeanie, the weird mood--blame it on the full moon not the medication.. Leona

(Jeanie)(looking around with a red face and noting that poor Evelyn & Mary were actually trying to have a "normal" conversation) I'm sorry ladies. Perhaps we should have an entire different thread that's called "Colin Chaos"? (Murph)Give me "Colin Chaos" any day. This from a woman who lives with "Crowe Chaos" all the time! ROTF..Is there a "Owens Chaos" too? Sorry... I should have said: "We are sorry to interrupt..." *Only joking*

(Tress)And I want to know if that was a 1/4 lb Googie or a 1/2 lb Googie??? ;-D No, it looked like a Whopper to me. Oh, I've been away all day and missed all the googie stuff. *kicking self* Jeanie, you are priceless.

(Leona) You ladies are a crazy bunch.. (and I've decided that if I'm ever stranded on a desert island you're all coming along). Welcome Leona, glad you chose today to de-lurk! The more the merrier! Googie burgers (Is that to go or..)??? LMAO.. Yup, I could tell you were going to fit right in! (Linda) it looked like a Whopper to me. Does that mean I can have it my way? (I did NOT intend to type that when I started my response, it just came out...bad fingers...bad...)

Would it be safe to say that a 1/2 lb googie would be a colinary treat? (With or without the works?)

(Barb S) Does that mean I can have it my way? (I did NOT intend to type that when I started my response, it just came out...bad fingers...bad...) ROTFLMAO....you deserve to have it your way with a comment like that!! ;-D

BWAHHHH... very good ladies....keep 'em coming, so to speak.

(leona) Googie??? Googie burgers (Is that to go or..)??? LMAO. LOL... Would you like that supersized, ma'am? Just 75 cents more!?! Thanks for delurking, m'dear... it is now against the rules to relurk once you've delurked. Once you're here you can't go back or you won't be allowed to return (crossing fingers behind back). So, you have my sympathy, Leona... you're stuck with us! ;) (Barb) Does that mean I can have it my way? Yes, but it takes longer to receive your order and when they send him out he'll be all wrapped in paper, piping hot, with a yellow "special" sticker right on the.. ok.. that's it, no more late night latte's for me. (Evelyn) Sorry... I should have said: "We are sorry to interrupt..." *Only joking* Sheesh, after today's silliness I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't joking... we've been completely bonkers!... LOL! ok, ok.. I've been completely bonkers but it only takes one to incite a riot with these young, impressionable girls. ;)

(Jeanie) Yes, but it takes longer to receive your order and when they send him out he'll be all wrapped in paper, piping hot, with a yellow "special" sticker right on the.. ok.. that's it, no more late night latte's for me. LOL....I insist you have more lattes! I'll get you a Starbuck's card! Wait, you probably already have one (sorry if I offended you)! I'll get you another Starbuck's card!! ;-D Thank you Jeanie for making me laugh today!!

(Tress) but I will have a copy. And enjoy every slo-mo, freeze frame, zoom minute of it!!! Marketing genius (three cheers to Warner Bros)!!! "Get that Firth guy! The ladies love him...we'll sell billions of DVDs! Get him in leather pants! It'll be better than that time he dove into the water (okay, okay...that's a bit far fetched..)!!" And so will I. Leather pants may be enticing, as I pick my tongue up off the floor, but IMO nothing will ever better the WET SHIRT. His body was a temple, a marvelous piece of art then, still is, although IMO he could add a couple of pounds on. I'd like to be digging at that TEMPLE. (Tress) And I want to know if that was a 1/4 lb Googie or a 1/2 lb Googie??? ;-D I've been a "Googie Girl" for a long time...just didn't know it had a name! I've always been a "Googie Girl" and IMO this is the ULTIMATE FULL POUND GOOGIE. A Whopper of a mouthful. I'd gladly take that "pounding". Sweet dreams ladies.

(FanPam)I'd like to be digging at that TEMPLE. I'd throw myself on the mercy of that TEMPLE.

(FanPam) I'd like to be digging at that TEMPLE. (lindak) I'd throw myself on the mercy of that TEMPLE. LOL...I've rededicated my life to that TEMPLE. ;-)

All the Googie Girls must be tired out today.

(FanPam) All the Googie Girls must be tired out today. I'm here...but barely...loooooong day. But! Still drooling and ODB's googie is always on my mind. ;-)

Gosh, I'm gone for a couple of days and all Googie breaks loose in my absence! (Barb S) Spring has the Porch, perhaps we could have something like "The Loft" or something else? Would that be a Moss Loft? Considering the way we get sometimes, "The Gutter" might be more like it. Not that I am complaining.

(Rika) Considering the way we get sometimes, "The Gutter" might be more like it. Not that I am complaining. I couldn't agree more.. sheesh. I embarassed myself the other day to such a degree that I'm speechless.. you'd better mark this one down for posterity. ;)

Has anyone else noticed that we ladies get a little, er, *riled up*, every full moon? Last month it was his walking style, this month it's "the googie" (can't even type that without snickering). LOL, what on earth is it going to be next month? Perhaps "The Gutter" needs to be constructed before next month's full moon :)

(Rika) Would that be a Moss Loft? You got it, exactly what I was thinking. Though the Gutter idea is probably more appropriate. (Jeanie) I embarassed myself the other day to such a degree that I'm speechless.. you'd better mark this one down for posterity. ;) No no no...Jeanie, you cannot change...we like you just the way you are! Moonstar, interesting theory about the full moon, have to watch and see if there is anything to it.

(Moonstar) Has anyone else noticed that we ladies get a little, er, *riled up*, every full moon? Oh is that what it is? (Wish there were more full moons) The titillation factor mixed with the general hilarity of all of you is what carries me through the days!!

(Jeanie) I embarassed myself the other day to such a degree that I'm speechless.. you'd better mark this one down for posterity. ;) LOL....Oh no! Don't tell us the other day was your 'one-off'! We count on you to lead the way! Quick! Someone get her a latte!!! ;-D (Moonstar) Has anyone else noticed that we ladies get a little, er, *riled up*, every full moon? I can't blame the moon....I'm like this all the time. I just need a nudge... ;-)

(Tress)I can't blame the moon....I'm like this all the time. I just need a nudge... Or a weeks's worth of talking about black leather pants and goggies. And perhaps thinking about the googie in the black leather pants. *slapping bad, bad fingers*

(Tress) I can't blame the moon....I'm like this all the time. I just need a nudge... ;-) I'm the same way. And I definitely get the nudge I need from the Temple.

(moonstar) Perhaps "The Gutter" needs to be constructed before next month's full moon :) I could be wrong, but I thought part of the point of creating this topic was to give us a place where we could engage in full-moon frivolity.... so I think we're already home.

(MariaT) What on earth is on the table on the paper, a Dungeoness crab? Maria I am answering you over here as requested by the boss....I think it is a sea shell. I have one that looks just like it. Thanks Rika, for the picture over on 165. He looks awesome! Love the pants and shirt. Looks long and lean (like I like him)!!! (MariaT) Maybe I'm just hungry...yes for the crab! Although I could always go for a Googie burger... All that and a bag of chips!!!

continued from the "Current News" thread.. (Rika) (vs. 39 when the BJD shoot started). Not that I am detail-oriented or compulsive about math. :-) Heh, of course not you cute lil' dimpled math momma! Actually, I wanna know a way that I can manage to just stay 39 for, let's say, the next six or seven years. Do you have an equation for that one, ol' building & loan pal?? Rachael watched "SLOW" today and wants to know what sort of heart condition does Matthew have. I told her I was sure one of you brilliant ladies could enlighten her. (Rika) Hi, Kathleen! Glad to have you here, and I couldn't agree more about that prayer for no red hair in GWAPE. As far as the Vermeer "bozo" comparisons, Colin's hair is about the same color as mine. I didn't see any bozo colors in the Vermeer "works of art that possibly might have Vermeer in them". It appeared to me that his hair was about the same color as ODB's natural color, so maybe my monitor's color levels are incorrect? LOL! Either that, or I have Bozo Red hair, which, if that is so, it is an issue I need to address.. or dye. =) Oh, and hi, Kathleen! Welcome to the "Peanut Gallery" "The Peanut Gallery"- where typically people of lower class than the orchestra section would sit (generally in the balcony), and were the rowdiest in the theater, and in late 19th century vaudeville, disapproving audiences did more than just heckle the performers, but would throw peanuts at them, as well as the people in the upper class seats down below.

(Jeanie) "The Peanut Gallery"- where typically people of lower class than the orchestra section would sit (generally in the balcony), and were the rowdiest in the theater Well, I guess that's us! Wait, not us! Must not speak for everyone! But me, and anybody like me. I'm usually the rowdiest, wherever I go! ;-)

Rachael watched "SLOW" today and wants to know what sort of heart condition does Matthew have. I told her I was sure one of you brilliant ladies could enlighten her. I don't think the heart condition is ever really described in any detail. He seems to recover pretty rapidly.

(LeahP) Rika, love the picture. Did you by any chance cut off the bottom of the picture, or is this it? I ask this very politely, as I'm looking into the mirror from the very top of my screen to see if I can see anything else. Help!! I moved this from 165 so as not to invoke the wrath of The Thread Cop (hi, boss :-). Leah, I regret to say that, although I cropped the photo horizontally, I didn't take off anything at the top or bottom. So what you see is what we got. Assuming you were googie-hunting, you'll have to look elsewhere. (MariaT) What on earth is on the table on the paper, a Dungeoness crab? (Tress) I think it is a sea shell. I have one that looks just like it. I have to laugh, Maria, because as I was working with the capture I was saying to myself, "What the heck is that thing on the table?" Thanks for enlightening us, Tress. (Jeanie) Do you have an equation for that one, ol' building & loan pal?? Can't help you there, Uncle Billy. But didn't Lady Bracknell say that there were many women in British society who had remained 35 for years? That summer home in London is sounding better and better. As far as the Vermeer "bozo" comparisons, Colin's hair is about the same color as mine. You think so? Maybe I'm not using the right movie as my natural-color reference for him, because I'd call his light brown with some red highlights, and I recall yours as being redder than that (but NOT Bozo-ish by any stretch of the imagination). I didn't see any bozo colors in the Vermeer "works of art that possibly might have Vermeer in them". The book doesn't describe Vermeer as having Bozo hair either. That was just a joke. When Griet meets him she says: "His hat pressed into hair the red of brick washed by rain." That's not too helpful, but later when Griet meets his children she says, "The second youngest...... had the brightest hair of the four, red like the dry brick wall behind her...... while the eldest's was the same dark red as her father's." (KathyF) Well, I guess that's us! Wait, not us! Must not speak for everyone! I think you can speak for most of us. Count me in, anyway. (LindaK) I don't think the heart condition is ever really described in any detail. Agreed. I think the production notes might have said something about his having had a heart attack - check the SLOW information on The Bucket - but it's extremely vague from the movie. I think I even read somewhere (maybe The Bucket again, or maybe Drool archives) that the writer intended his heart problems to be psychosomatic to some degree.

(Rika) But didn't Lady Bracknell say that there were many women in British society who had remained 35 for years? That summer home in London is sounding better and better. Cr*p! This math only works in London??? ;-) (Rika) The book doesn't describe Vermeer as having Bozo hair either. That was just a joke. But OH MY!!! The paintings! If they truly are self-portraits of Vermeer....the hair looks brown (IMO), but the boy was in SERIOUS need of a hot oil treatment...and some deep conditioning. Trying hard to imagine ODB in a wig that looks like that! (KathyF) Well, I guess that's us! Wait, not us! Must not speak for everyone! (Rika) I think you can speak for most of us. Count me in, anyway. I have to stand up to be counted as well...that makes at least three of us...(I suspect there are more). ;-) Must now run. The DH has just gotten 7:00 tickets for James Bond. HP is at 7:05 and 8:15!! "Plan Rika" in place....will sneak the first preview 'while getting popcorn' and plan pee break at 8:10! Woooooohoooooooo....

(Tress) I have to stand up to be counted as well...that makes at least three of us...(I suspect there are more). ;-) Your suspects are correct. Count me in. Then there were four.

(Tress)I have to stand up to be counted as well...that makes at least three of us...(I suspect there are more). (Pam)Then there were four. And now we're five.:-)

(Tress) Must now run. The DH has just gotten 7:00 tickets for James Bond. HP is at 7:05 and 8:15!! "Plan Rika" in place....will sneak the first preview 'while getting popcorn' and plan pee break at 8:10! Woooooohoooooooo.... You go, girlfriend!!! We'll be waiting for the report. By the way, I want to post a comment about something that's going on that I know has concerned some of you. Several of my DVD captures from TIOBE that I posted on 165 (as well as two of Jeanie's) mysteriously materialized, without any sort of credit, on another CF fan site. The thief belatedly listed Drool's URL as the source of the photos, but only after she was embarrassed into it by members of the group enthusing about the photos and asking for others. Of course, my name and Jeanie's never entered into the discussion. I became aware of it when a couple of "concerned citizens" here e-mailed me to let me know about the unscheduled migration of my photos. I was going to let it go, but my ability to resist was finally overcome when I was alerted tonight that they were all atwitter because they thought Karen had stolen photos from their site and posted them on The Bucket (they were mistaken). They were displeased that anyone would do such a thing, especially without giving credit. And in honor of the occasion, I decided to go ahead and post one of the additional photos that was requested by a person on that other site. Because as y'all know, I do take requests! Besides, I already had a capture of it, and it's pretty cute:

I have no idea what you are talking about but count me in too. Lemming number 6! Thanks for the welcome at the Peanut Gallery. It's kinda hard to see the stage from up here, but we can do our own show. I'd get up to take a bow but there's something sticky on my seat. Colin Firth WAS good in his last movie. ( Does this qualify me to post in this thread?) BIG WINKIE.

You are fantastic. Shame on them. (Rika)Because as y'all know, I do take requests! I think I know that better than anyone. Thanks for the above, and thanks for all the great pictures you give us to drool over.

Me either. Knowing what you're talking about, that is. But, I don't like to miss out on anything, so count me in. Number 7. But only if it's good. If you all are going to get in trouble, count me out. Maybe I should think about it some more. I'll get back to you. RIKA!!!!! You know I get fiercely protective of my kids, my husband, my dog and people from Drool who get taken advantage of. Better you than me because I would have been over there in a flash and chewed them out good. I don't know what site you're talking about. I've been underground for a couple of days but I probably would have never seen it anyway. I do think it funny that there would be those who would think Karen was stealing from them! She's the one who regularly gets ripped off and posts to that affect on the boards here. And I want to give a big thank you to you as well. I try to always say thanks but I know I miss some. I can't tell you how much I enjoy the pictures you post. They give me a much needed boost at times. (Insert thank you winkie)

(Kathleen from the "current" thread)I heard that the chargirl living in the house in Islington was supposed to practice sleeping in a hole in the basement and grinding something in the attic while the occupants were away. Any confirmation? You know, sleeping in a hole in the basement doesn't really sound all that unattractive considering what goes on in the attic while the occupants, all but our brick haired artist that is, are away...What is that you say? She was grinding powder for paint? (Dodging peanuts and rotten tomatoes)

Lisa, thanks for the kind words. I'm always glad to hear that people enjoy the captures. I know how much I enjoy great photos that others share with us here! There are ways to prevent people from saving copies of the photos, but I would hate to have to resort to that. I know that some of you like to be able to save a capture that particularly tickles your fancy to a private collection on your hard drive, and I'm happy for my friends here on the Peanut Gallery to be able to do that!

(Kathleen) I'd get up to take a bow but there's something sticky on my seat. Colin Firth WAS good in his last movie. Lemming 6, you deserve to have your hand smacked! However, as Lemming #1 (I suppose) I think I'll steer clear of your digits. I'm going to go jump off a cliff now....

Wait a minute! I lost it! Jeanie must be No. 1 High Priestess of Peanutry. I got lost in my bad math for a minute! I'm a mere 2, at best!

And we all move down another place..... but for such a worthy one as Jeanie, it's an honor.

(Rika) but for such a worthy one as Jeanie, it's an honor. I agree wholeheartedly! I'm envisioning all of us in a theater, grabbing our purses, soft drinks, and popcorn (make that peanuts!) and moving over a seat to make room for our fearless Peanut Princess!

(Rika) You go, girlfriend!!! We'll be waiting for the report. What a girl REALLY wants is to see ODB (twice) in one evening (did I say twice?)...in leather pants (that's right...twice)...on the big screen!! Uh-huh, uh-huh!! "Plan Rika" a complete success. Mission accomplished. ;-) BTW, was I supposed to know that Mrs. Richie played Verity the S&M fencing coach in Die Another Day? This tid-bit escaped me...Did think about ODB being the next Bond. Still think it should be JN (despite my love for ODB). BUT! If it did come to pass that our AFG boy became the next 007, I must say I would enjoy those shirtless, swimming, ski-diving, martini drinking minutes. And those toys! And those cars! ODB deserves the finer things, I think. (Rika) And in honor of the occasion, I decided to go ahead and post one of the additional photos that was requested by a person on that other site. And we all benefit from your kindness...thanks for the capture Rika! Love a man who can strum...and do a bit of delicate finger work! ;-) (KathyF) Wait a minute! I lost it! Jeanie must be No. 1 High Priestess of Peanutry. (Rika) And we all move down another place..... but for such a worthy one as Jeanie, it's an honor. Dusting off chair and making room for the High Priestess of Peanutry and Goddess of all things Googie! ;-)

(Kathy) I'm envisioning all of us in a theater One playing the WAGW trailer continuously, I hope! Speaking of which: (Tress)"Plan Rika" a complete success. Mission accomplished. ;-) You da woman! I'm in a mad, impulsive, capture-posting kind o' mood tonight. Maybe it's the ego boost of being the Unofficial Supplier of TIOBE Captures To The Internet. But I have been falling down on the job, as some of you have mentioned fave scenes and I've been slow about taking the hint and providing illustrations. So I think the following will get me all caught up, and if not I'm sure I can count on y'all to speak up. I apologize that I no longer recall who mentioned which scenes. First, there was a comment about his somewhat unusual thumb position after he catches the flower near the start of TIOBE. Visual aid: Next on the agenda, we have the "mirror image" effect that Rupie and Colin create in the scene in the doorway ("We have to talk. You have to leave." "If I leave, how can we talk?"). Hard to fully illustrate in a still, but this gives part of the idea: Now, IMHO I've saved the best for last, even though you won't even see ODB's face in these. No, no googies either, sorry. When I posted the shot of FOC kissing the side of his face, someone commented that the part they loved about the scene was that she worked her way around to the back of his neck. For this situation, one picture just wasn't enough:

Hey Rika! Nicely done.....all around!! (Big Conspiratorial Winkie) I believe it was me who commented on the "mirror image". Thanks soooo much! A very brief scene with something about it that really amuses me. And an added bonus for me having the neck kissing pics, too, even without his facial expressions. (That is not a complaint nor a request, just a statement) ;-) (Tress)"Plan Rika" a complete success. Mission accomplished. ;-) LOL! Way to go! Raise any suspicions? ;-)

(Tress)"Plan Rika" a complete sucess! Have yet to see the clip once. I am impressed at your dedication. (Rika) Unofficial Supplier of TIOBE Captures to the Internet (USTCI) I am remiss in not thanking you for the lovely captures. Guitar playing is scrumptious. Can hear that sweet little off-key voice now. You're right about the thumb position on the rose. How odd! Maybe to film it better? Mirror image capture. Loved the way he motivates himself to go after Algy in the behind the scenes featurette. I wonder if he often walks around the set in hair clips. His curls must be a challenge to hairdressers. (happy the hairdresser!). Finally that clean shaven, good smelly neck shot. FOC, you are my hero! Didn't miss a follicle!

Lovely, Rika! Thanks! I also love his face right after that scene. The one that looks like he's in a daze. ;-D (Lisa), I do think it funny that there would be those who would think Karen was stealing from them! She's the one who regularly gets ripped off and posts to that affect on the boards here. My thoughts exactly! How dare they?

(Tress) Goddess of all things Googie Welll... I'm not saying I don't want this honor to be bestowed upon me, but, I do have to admit that such a title should be given to one whose eyes wander straight to the crotch area of HWM's self as soon as he appears in a scene. Mine do not, so I do not qualify. (laughing) I get too caught up in the face, and generally the googie gazing doesn't take place until I've seen the movie several times and know I'm not missing anything by lowering my field of vision. Tress, I'll have to try to pull a Rika in a couple of weeks, since (huge sigh) I missed the preview the first time around. I'm glad you had success! (Kathleen) His curls must be a challenge to hairdressers. (happy the hairdresser!). Finally that clean shaven, good smelly neck shot. FOC, you are my hero! Didn't miss a follicle! Kathleen, my husband has ODB's hair, by the way... aren't I lucky? After Rachael watched SLOW yesterday she commented that his hair is just like "Daddy's". It's even growing thinner in the same area. You can't do anything with it other than run your fingers through it. The women at work(who are like his sisters, by the way) do that to him all the time in passing.. Oh, and the neck on our precious boy.. well, you know what I think about the sniffy neck. ;)

(Moon) Lovely, Rika! Thanks! I also love his face right after that scene. The one that looks like he's in a daze. ;-D You mean like this?
