Awwww :-}

Charlotte, thank you so much for helping me find my way back here! I have missed the Drool Conference desperately!

Sheila! Where ya been? ;-)

Someway and somehow I lost you guys! Searched many times and always came up empty. VERY WEIRD! Charlotte gave me the new URL. What have I missed?

I'm a saint, I am. [*giggle*]

(Sheila) What have I missed? Oh, same old schtuff. I got a Snappy...:-D

Snappy as in digital????

Snappy in that she can freeze frame ANY scene in ANY video and turn it into a .jpg file. Like she just did. She's a show off. I love her. :)

TOO COOL! Any success over at ebay lately Charlove?

Any success over at ebay lately Charlove? Oh yeah! Just got two new photos. One arrived yesterday, and the other is on its way. I'm a big seller over there now, too! I currently have about a dozen VHS videos on sale, and one of my heirloom-quality baby afghans. :) This is the one that arrived yesterday. I posted it here a few weeks ago, but I'm sure Nanner won't mind if I replay it. It's a doozy!

Mercy! :-D

Hello, sailor!

Yeah. And get this: Kevin has said in interviews that he positively hates making love scenes. Not because of the intimacy, but because he hates taking off his shirt. He says "I'm not buff. I don't work out." Well I say: "Honey, with shoulders like those, you don't need to!". But, I admit to being just a wee bit biased. :)

I don't like those obvious work-out chests anyway - they look like they might explode the minute you dig your fingers into them! Yuk!

Anyone for a swim? I need cooling off! That's a beauty pic Charlotte! Tell me more about the email you got from the lucky lady who had Kev whispering in her ear! (groan!)

Not much to tell, sweetie. I done told all there is. :) I have not heard from her since. By the way, your belated birthday present, and stuff for the kids, is on its way to you at last.

Yooo-hooo, Charlotte...Sheila...come out to play...;-)

Oooo! Nan's been Snappin' again! :) Thanks, Nan! And how come you never answer my email? :)

Which email, honey?

I sent you two emails at nan@spring.net asking you to snap from some movies for me. never heard nuttin. You've outdone yourself on the door collage this time, sweetie! I won't even whine about there being three photos of Colin to everyone else's one. :) Who is the dude in the lover left bubble?

Honey, I didn't see your emails :-( At least I don't remember them, if I did. I'll have to check. Who were you looking for? Sorry, not usually so flaky...:-/ Who is the dude in the lover left bubble? Brendan Fraser. SA-LUURP! ;-D Glad you like the main page, babe. Soon I'll have to go over to your page to swipe some more photos--I'm running out ;-)

All I asked in my email was if you could rent DANTE'S PEAK and snap a scene for me. I'd pay for the rental. :) Also need you to rent CONTACT. There is not a photo of William Fichtner ANYWHERE on this damn web!

Oh, okay...just email me with the scene you want and I'll get them for ya, baby ;-)

Just finished reading "Message In A Bottle" last night, SOB! SOB! SOB! (thank you Charlotte) This will be a terribly romantic movie, has anyone heard a release date?

February 14, 1999.

Time to defend my "high priestess" status. :) This is a 5-foot tall screen that holds 15 8 x 10 photos. I have two open spots left, which will be filled by next week. And I have no more wall space! :) and this is the wall opposite the screen. The top of the bookshelf holds all but 2 of Kevin's movies. I'll scan the other walls in this room as soon as the film comes back from being developed. :) So can I still keep my title? :)

Never questioned for a moment your "title" What could we promote you to? GODDESS ??? You are the best Char! They are fabulous displays!

Dont wanna be goddess. too much responsibility. :)

I was going to say the same thing as Sheila--was your title ever in question? ;-) It think it was the license plate photo that convinced me ;-p BTW, you did say "Dante's Peak", didn't you?

Yes. Dante's Peak. I was never a big Pierce Brosnan fan until I saw that film. There is a scene about 30 minutes into the film where Pierce's character is in a bar, shooting pool. He has on a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows (a look that always makes me weak!) and he leans down to make a shot, and his shirt is unbuttoned about 37 buttons, and he looks up toward you, under the hanging lampshade, and ... well, it made me gasp in the theatre. at home, with the rental, it made me rewind and replay about 37 times. Let me know if anyone besides my crazy self was melted by that scene. My friend and I said, after seeing it in the theatre for the first time, "A woman does the costumes for this movie. Only a woman would have dressed him like that". :) Then again, was the DIRECTOR a woman? It was the director who asked him to lean over the table like that.

September 1, 1998... We're scooped that Kevin Costner is having a little bit of hard time getting a female lead for his new baseball movie. According to our scooper, the female lead is a fashion photographer who falls for Kevin's character. Producers had originally approached Helen Hunt for the role, but she turned it down. They're now hoping that Natasha Richardson will give in and play Kevin's love interest. [Danka, 'adamcatilin'.] This is from a website I frequent called "Upcoming Films". I don't have the URL handy, but I can post it if anyone asks. Kevin has wrapped up his work on "Message in a Bottle", and is set to begin production of "For The Love Of The Game" this month. Sign the damn papers, Natasha!! :)

The URL is: Upcoming Films

OOps. This is a better URL: Upcoming Films

Did anyone happen to catch the commercial during last night's World Series game featuring some hockey greats on an ice rink built in a corn field asking for a "puck"? As the spot was sponsored by Labatts Blue (Canadian brewery in Toronto) it may have only been shown on Canadian Network TV. I just thought it was interesting that KC's Field of Dreams still has influence.

I saw Message in a Bottle Saturday night. It is difficult to know how the critics will react (and frankly, I don't care), but in my decidedly biased opinion, it is a lovely film. Cinematography is breathtaking, and Paul Newman and Robin Wright Penn are superb. Kevin gets more gorgeous with each passing year, and if he is outacted by those two, they cannot hold a candle to his physical presence. I had read the book, so there were no surprises for me, but I am sure most of the audience was a bit unsettled by the ending. Go see it. It will make you love him all over again.

(Charlotte)Go see it. It will make you love him all over again. Ah Charlotte, there you are. Haven't seen you around in ages. I saw the trailer a few times and was wondering how long it would take for you to show up, drooling all over the place. Mercy, but he's purty! ;-p~~~

About time! I've been seeing those trailers for eons and can't wait to see this movie. Haven't read the book, but looks like another Bridges over.... but with a *better* cast. Love these kinds of movies (OK, that verifies how shallow I am!!)

The book was awful. Ending was awful. Movie much better, still hate the ending. Nan, I've been so confused! Did you give up droolmastership? The front door is missing your touch.

(Charlotte) Nan, I've been so confused! Did you give up droolmastership? Indeed I did. I have school to worry about, ya know... The front door is missing your touch. LOL! You poor dear...surrounded by Colin, not a Kevin photo in sight ;-p

It's ok. I have about 8 photos in my office, and I've lost count in my house. Friends call my home office "Kevin's Room", ya know. You're in SCHOOL?? Dunno why, but I have always pictured you as an older, mature professional. But a STUDENT! Color me confounded! If ya get a minit, Nan...go see my kitten, Korben Dallas, who is now 10 months old and weighs in at 11 pounds. :) http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4772 click on "My new Ragdoll Kitten"

(Charlotte) Dunno why, but I have always pictured you as an older, mature professional. After living in the real world for 15 years I decided to go back to Graduate School. So, your vision of me as "older" is probably accurate, but my maturity level can certainly be questioned ;-p And I did go look at the new kitten...what a beautiful animal! What made you choose that breed? And I'm sure there's a story behind the name, so talk to me...;-)

Picked up the March issue of Redbook on Saturday. "Climb in the backseat with Kevin Costner...." They do love to tease a girl! I especially liked the cover shot!

Oh, it's out already?? duh. i was waiting for March! I'm on my way!

There is a three page article on Kev in the March issue of US magazine.

Sheila, didja see the movie yet?

Not yet, have been really busy lately....work, kids, house for sale etc, etc.. I read it had a great opening weekend. My Kevin and I are overdue on a night out...they are promoting it as the ultimate date movie. How many boxes of tissues will I need? I sobbed my eyes out when I read the book.

Well, the book did not make me cry, but the movie did. That ought to help you decide how many boxes you'll need. :) Your Kevin might even get a little misty.

Still remember me ?It's been ages since I last came here. How's everyone ? Anyway I hope you guys will like this wallpaper that I've made.

It seems I cannot submit it . Anyway you guys can check it out at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/9332/kcwallpaper.html

Hi, Janet! How's school? What are you studying? I'm glad you still find time for Kevin! :)

Janet, thank you so much! This wallpaper is now in both my home and office computers. It's gorgeous. I know you are busy, but thank you so much for taking the time to do this, and for sharing it with us!

I read, as reported on Entertainment Tonight, Kev will be a presenter at the Academy Awards March 21.

AWESOME!! thanks for keeping me up to date, Sheila! I would never have known about the US and REdbook magazines without you!

The April issue of In Style magazine has a feature article titled "At Home With Nine Oscar Winners" Guess who is included? There is a photo of Kev with his Oscars with a short write up.

Amazing! How do you do it, Sheila? Do you get all this tasty info from the KC fanclub? I'm picking up In Style today! Thanks!

Always happy to share KC news with you Charlotte! This information came from the web (Redbook info came from fanclub) I am hearing a TENTATIVE video release date of Message in a Bottle for August-will keep you posted!

Charlotte: I was just testing all the links on Drool's main page and the one for your Kevin Costner page does not work. If you would like to provide the new url, I will change it. Thanks, Karen

Hmmmm... It should be http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/4772/kevin.html

And did you SEE him at the Oscar ceremonies last night? He presented the award for Best Director to Steven Spielberg, and he looked FABULOUS! (OF course, I am in no way biased on the subject.) And his daughter Anne, who was his date, was elegant and glamorous and looked wonderful on his arm.

(Charlotte) He presented the award for Best Director to Steven Spielberg, and he looked FABULOUS! (OF course, I am in no way biased on the subject.) Not you!;-p Honey, when he walked onstage, I actually groaned...he doesitto me everytime...

Did I see him at the Oscar's? Did I videotape him at the Oscar's? Yes! Yes! Yes! I was watching the broadcast in bed, and as it was getting quite late I was starting to doze off. However, even in my sleep my Costner antennae are ON and I was instantly alert the moment his name was announced. " I have been know to like long...... " grooooannn!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, typo "I have been known to like long..."

Kevin Costner appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno February 19/99 will be repeated Monday April 19/99

http://www.freevote.com/booth/actorof1998 Vote for Kevin!

I saw Kevin in a golf tournament last weekend on tv, he was kidding around with Jack Nicholson, Will Smith, Joe Peshi (sp?) and they were all having a great time. What a contrast to the serious Masters tournament where the tension was thick, this was a bunch of big boys acting like little kids, having a great time.

Guess who illuminates the July issue of Cowboys & Indians? My friend just returned from Texas and spotted it in the airport and bought it for me. :) It's luscious! Shows off his freckles. :) Article title: The Resurrection of a Hollywood Golden Boy. Ahem, I don't recall his being DEAD! I'll try to get it scanned and post for y'all.

Here it is! http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/Kevin/kevin_cowboy.jpg

Sorry. Try this one: http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/Set/4772/Kevin/kevin_cowboy.jpg

sigh. i've been away too long. i had forgotten how to do that. thanks for your patience.

Have you ladies seen the September issue of Biography magazine? Kevin's on the cover and there are a gazillion pictures from various movies. But the headshot on the Contents page is to die for. ;-D

I brought it home today. My best friend subscribes to Biography and gave it to me. Bedtime reading! :) Gotta find my old drool bib. Then man just keeps on getting hotter!

I thought you were Charlotte, the one who watches sci-fi when KC is not to be seen...Hi !

Yup! That's me! Don't watch much Sci-Fi these days, since Kevin is EVERYWHERE! :) Well, here in my house, at least. Hi backatcha, Marcia!

*grin* it is good to be in the safe confines of Drool where couthness reigns - or some such rot (they think that on the rest of the Spring, so we have to keep up appearances, dontcha know...*lol* Loved Field of Dreams. Every time it comes on I get hooked and watch it all the way through - AGAIN !

How about Rapa Nui and Waterworld?

I love baseball. John, you above all should know that. That is why I love FoD. I never saw Waterworld nor Rapa Nui, but there are some pretty important people around here who post a lot who did love Waterworld. No accounting for taste!

Then Marcia, you do NOT want to miss next month's release of For Love of the Game, Kevin's third baseball film.

I saw a trailer of For Love of Game months ago at the movies. What surprised me most was the use of The Natural's music and the stadium lighting shots as in that movie's climatic last at bat. What were they trying to do? Hope that they've reworked the trailers. Will make everyone think it's a ripoff.

I saw just Message in a Bottle and liked him ,but not that Robin Wright-Penn..pretty...but she can't act. Unlike The Postman" where I thought he had great chemistry with Olivia Williams. Yeah..I know...film too long. But lots of Kevin.:-)

From the NY Daily News: Kevin Costner has suffered the unkindest cut of all. Universal Pictures has circumcised his full-frontal shower scene in "For the Love of the Game." The actor has been bad-mouthing the studio since he found out that it edited out his priapian moment in the shower, as well as other scenes � primarily in an effort to shorten the movie's running time. Even so, the movie is more than two hours long. Last week Costner griped to Newsweek that Universal execs "don't want to talk to me." He accused them of lacking "real courage" by insisting that the baseball flick have a PG-13 rating. For Universal, he said, "this movie has always been about the length and the rating," never "the content." Although he insisted his complaints were not "purely narcissistic," Costner joked that audiences would be "hurt" by not getting a gander at his manhood. Universal now appears to be retaliating. Execs are putting the word out that a test audience in Arizona virtually demanded that Costner get the John Wayne Bobbitt treatment. "The audience giggled at Kevin's penis," one exec tells New York magazine. "Then, in focus groups, they said, 'Do we really need to see Kevin Costner's penis?'" New York women (and men) might have said, Yes! Alas, they'll have make do with rerunning a video of his young butt in "Dances With Wolves."

.....Do we really need to see Kevin Costner's penis?'" ....New York women (and men) might have said, Yes! I'm from New York...so I concur.... ...pox on the test audience in Arizona!!:-D

Sheesh!! No one ever asked me whether I wanted to see So & So's breasts!

Me either. Who is so and so? If you go to the internet movie database http://www.us.imdb.com you will see that all the early reviews by viewers, overwhelmingly male, love For the Love of the Game. That, despite KC's all too public sniping over the last several months with Universal, director Sam Raimi, and those who don't want/need to see his genitals. I am no fan of KC's alleged acting ability, but he sure does have an affinity for a great baseball movie. BTW, I love both Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. In fact, I show the latter to my English cla ses. Waterworld, Rapa Nui, and The Postman all basked in the mediocrity to ignominy those films deserve. All were Costner-driven vehicles. Dances With Wolves was wonderful, even if Kevin loves to lord his Best Picture (a director's award) over all who come in contact with him, and did not give his (former) good friend Kevin Reynolds the credit he deserved for assisting KC in the director's chair. Still, if KC made nothing but baseball movies, he'd be a consistent winner, eve as he grays (what the hell, Cal Ripken Jr. is gray). I guess if the new film is as terrific as its early reviews, there need be no bats visible that aren't woodburned with the "Louisville Slugger" brand. If Kevin really has the need to show the world his penis, he can pose in Playgirl, and those who drool can look as long as they wish without having to rewind *SMILE*.

John, the issue to me has always been "double standards." Showing any and all parts of a woman's body is rated PG-13 or R, whereas show a penis, and that gets you an NC-17 rating. Nudity in and of itself is not a draw for women (and I'm speaking very *broad*-ly here), but if the storyline calls for nudity by either sex, then sobeit. They shouldn't be discriminating by sex or favoring one over the other. Sometimes I wonder why there hasn't been a lawsuit, as female actresses are so regularly required t take it all off, whereas men never do. Blatant sexism. BTW, I will be seeing For Love of the Game tonight. I love Kevin's baseball films and many others. So what if he's not a great actor. He's very nice to watch.

I quite agree with Karen. I have no desire to see Kevin's penis. It's his face that I go to his films to see. It's the same face looking at me right now from 42 8 x 10 photographs hanging on the walls of my computer room. Likewise, I have no desire to see Gwynneth Paltrow's meagre breasts, but I had little choice. Kevin's alleged "sniping" at Universal might just as easily spring from his dissatisfaction with the film's LENGTH, which makes much more sense, since Kevin is notorious for his dislike of films being truncated to appease an attention-span-challenged audience. I think he would have vented just as strongly if they had left in the penis and cut out something else. Will there EVER come a time when Kevin will NOT be Hollywood's whipping boy?

....I quite agree with Karen. I have no desire to see Kevin's penis. So...close your eyes. :-)

Good one, Evelyn. Universal didn't want the movie to be rated "R" much less he dreaded "NC-17." I understand their concern. They have coughed up millions just for Kevin's salary alone, and many millions more for production, and they want their product (a dirty word to some, especially those who would call it art) viewed by the widest possible audience. Field of Dreams is a family movie;Bull Durham is not. Both are terrific movies, but the former is a classic. But I think the double sta dard is much more insidious than just who gets rated what for displaying which gender's genitals. Most movie nudity is put in to appease a public appetite for sex, not because it makes for a better storyline. I don't care if a movie has nudity or not, except when I wish to show it to a high school classroom (most of whom have seen someone live of the opposite gender nude more recently than I have). If I really have to see someone nude in a film, I'll rent a porno video. There may or may not come a tim when KC will not be--as Charlotte puts it--Hollywood's whipping boy. But because he's a male star, he can go on his public ego rants--justifiable or not--as long as he wants, even through three big budget flops. Back in the 80s, Debra Winger got an equally publicized rap for being difficult. Despite the fact that she is a more talented actor than KC, and just like KC, believes that she was arguing for a better product, she's been ostracized and her career, if she still has one, has been in a tailspin.

I don�t know about KCostner fans but if Colin Firth showed everything in a film I�d be very sad and wouldn�t want to see....it would probably be the end of my fan-aticism. I think it would only indicate that he has lost his self-respect as an actor.

I think I shall have to rent out Playmaker and gaze through.....now which glass panel of the shower was it? Sorry .... wrong board.....but you provoked me;-)))

(John) Most movie nudity is put in to appease a public appetite for sex *cough* bullshit *cough* My opinion is that most movie nudity is due to the male director believing himself to be some kind of auteur artiste and wanting to see the actresses take it all off. They are pandering to the ticket-buying public of post-pubescent boys. not because it makes for a better storyline. I never said "better." ;-D Debra Winger got an equally publicized rap for being difficult. Despite the fact that she is a more talented actor than KC You gotta be kidding! Or do you just like her deep voice? (Charlotte) Likewise, I have no desire to see Gwynneth Paltrow's meagre breasts, but I had little choice. Speaking of Gwynnie's pippins, I remember a lot of the press about her nudity in SiL. It was couched in words of praise, specifically mentioning the fact that now she had graduated into serious work by doing the nude scenes. Where was Joe's pip? I don't go to movies for nudity, but I'm an equal opportunity viewer.

I like your choice of films, Allison. ;-D

....I think I shall have to rent out Playmaker and gaze through.....now which glass panel of the shower was it? It was artistically v. fundamental for Ross Talbott to take a shower in that movie and to come out in the buff.... of "kolossal" importance to the storyline too. :-D

You are so high minded. Oh, by all means have a laugh at my "high-mindedness" Allison but I meant sincerely what I said.
