I think a ven diagram would help here. They are different and may contain members that are not shared, but the overlap between the two categories is not insignificant.

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

really? when I see old time actresses, I can appreciate they may be very pretty, but truly sexy? For some reason I don't see that, and I'm not sure if it is the dress and body shapes of those times, or the fact that i know they're in a grave somewhere, or 80. I think it is mostly the later.

Re: Who *are* these guys?
 

Ain't that the truth!

I read The Princess Bride and really enjoyed it, but Goldman is kind of an ass, isn't he? Still, I will Netflix The Sting. And maybe Nobody's Fool, although I want to read the book first.

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

they made a movie of Choke. watching the trailer, it seems like it might be good. i'd forgotten how weird that book got.

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

Cool Hand Luke is a brilliant movie and one that can't be turned off if you're flipping through channels. Absolutely brilliant.

I loved The Sting too, even though the bad guy is an over-actor. It actually fits with the era and genre, though, I suppose.

According to wikipedia, "in the pilot episode of Cheers, the movie is named the "Sweatiest Movie Ever" by general consensus of the denizens of the bar."

He's been to a Turkish prison, too.

Wasn't this a topic of some discussion on the Infirm boards five or so years ago? My memory is hazy.

eta SLS can't be pleased that one of its graduates was only grossing $133K in 2003, although the hourly rate is respectable enough.

Re: Hey BnB
 

I'm currently watching Season Three of Six Feet Under and I find him to be really very annoying and whiny. Is it just his looks or does his personality somehow attractive as well? (Because he seems to play the same character in everything he's in.)

TM

Re: Hey BnB
 

I have been watching Sports Night and his character on there is kind of whiny too. I can't say I'm finding either of the guys attractive on any kind of sexual level, though. I like their interactions -- his whininess is kind of integral to the relationship and so I'm okay with it.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Yes. I even remember pictures of "Brazil," but not with enough fondness to search the old board.

Re: Hey BnB
 

Pretty much his looks and his voice (the timbre of it, not any whinyness). There's also the 6 degrees of separation factor. He was good college friends with a former co-worker and his wife.

saw the new concert show


spoiler









not to be picky, but the cuts between the shows were a bit distracting. otoh, it was sort of cool to see how a joke played in the 3 (johannesberg (sp?), BK and London) cities. I was shocked that the Joke "I don't want a President with a bucket list," went over in South Africa. I don't know an American who saw that flick, and would not expect it to have gone over. Oh well.


But here's my question, he seems to have added a lot more physical comedy. like a beat off joke he makes a beat off gesture for awhile. he also did some funny walks for jokes, but i can't remember the context. I just don't remember him doing anything but the constant pacing. Am i misremembering or did he do physical stuff before. he seemed a bit uncomfortable doing it.

of course, the thing was great overall, i'm just wondering.

Re: Hey BnB
 

There were definitely entire seasons of Six Feet Under where I wanted to kick him in the face... the character, not the actor.

As for the actor, for me, it's his looks. And his height. And something in the tone of his voice.

He also reminds me of men I've known. He's definitely my type.

okay, so the above is about how the refs will be watching rip closely this year, he's been getting away with too much- but how about this:

• During a meeting of NBA officials conducted last week by new vice president and director of officials Bernie Fryar, Hamilton frequently popped up on the replays of calls that were missed. Hamilton often pushes off while running around screens to shake defenders and has a scratch-and-claw style on defense.
  
  On another replay from the 2007 Eastern Conference finals, a late-game play in which Hamilton bumped LeBron James was cited as an example where a no-call should have been a foul.

the nba is spending time looking for examples when LeBron didn't get a call? motherfucker. i think we should just have the nba champion play the
cavs after the finals. that way they can get the TV ratings but still keep the game semi-honest.

Re: chris rock questions
 

Remember his joke from a few years back about hailing a cab? I remember him getting pretty physically into that. I'm sure there were others.*

I thought the overall show was good, with a few really hilarious moments. The cuts between shows in different places highlighted how tightly-scripted his material is. He is obviously an utter control freak.

*ETA - soft shoe dance from the same routine, I think, and Stevie Wonder getting a peek. But these may be exceptions that prove the rule with him - very little physical stuff and lots and lots of finely-honed verbal stuff.

NBA? You're talking about Basketball?
 

What is wrong with you people?

any bets on what the candidates will wear tonight? I wonder if Palin has invested in a new pair of fuck me pumps for the special event.


Seriously, I need to come up with new fall tights in neutral, non-black. Any suggestions? I guess if they're black and fab, that's ok too, but I have like 10 pairs of black tights already and I need some variety.

Thanks!

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

That link pulled up the right headline but an unrelated story. This one should work. And like Less, I do recall much discussion on the old board. Like Less, I can't be bothered to run it down.

Re: chris rock questions
 

I only saw the last half-hour or so, but I thought the cuts were a little distracting too. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on, because I didn't realize that it was three separate shows. I missed the bucket list joke.

Re: chris rock questions
 

It was interesting to see how scripted he is, and interesting to see some of the slight variations he made for location. (in J-burg: "Barack Obama may not be a really black name here, but in America....")

But my interest in that was outweighed by my annoyance with the constant switching.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

"Warthen "engaged in sexual acts in return for money" and grossed $133,717 in 2003, authorities said. She has not been charged with prostitution."


huh?

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Prostitution isn't a federal crime, except when crossing state lines (white slavery).

(maybe?)

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Good point. I was paying more attention to her inflatable tits than to the venue.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

I'm still grappling with the idea that she grossed "$133,717". Did someone give her a $17 tip?

Hank, this may be the stupidest thing you've ever posted. And I know that's taking us into territory previously charted only by That Which Shall Not Be Named and The Other One We Don't Mention Either.

But for God's sake, Man. Rita Hayworth isn't "truly sexy?!"

http://www.freeinfosociety.com/image...ews/gilda2.jpg

Gene Tierney?

http://alabasterbrow.blogsome.com/images/gene7.jpg

Jacqueline Bissett wasn't "truly sexy" enough for Steve McQueen?

http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medi...4/18645085.jpg

Ava Gardner wasn't "truly sexy" enough for Frank?! (If you're going to argue that she was "too sexy" for Frank, that's an interesting topic for an after-work drink or three, but I digress.)

Show me the sexier woman than Catherine Deneuve. (Seriously, bring her to me. Then leave.) This isn't even the best-looking picture of her; it's just the famous one.

Others Receiving Votes: Hedy Lamarr(4-1), 46; Racquel Welch(4-1) 42; Marilyn Monroe(4-0) 40; Ball State(5-0) 38; and Honorable Mention to the not-at-all sexy Julie Christie(3-1) 5; in this not-at-all-sexy picture that I can't post because we're limited to using 5 images under the improved system. The fact that some people feel cheated right now is proof that you are wrong.

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

No shit. Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Mamie Van Doren, Mae West, sohia Loren, Jane Russell, Kim Novak, Joan Collins, Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Jane Fonda, Ursula Andress, Ingrid Bergman, Ginger from Gilligan's Island, Daisy Mae, etc.

I get harder just thinking about the possibility of them grabbing me under the table at dinner than a dozen Britneys, Jennifers, Katies, both Olsens, Christinas, Laras, or Poshs. The modern comparisons are Angelina, Charlize, Salma, KZJ, both Elizabeths (Hurley and Shannon), and Katherine Heigl.

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

you've beaten off to Hedy Lamarr?

Re: someone whom he'll listen to make it change its avatar
 

You're still beating off to Eva Silverstein, so I'd sit quiet.

Sexy, sexy, sexy.

I also think that Jayne Mansfield was sexy, too. Well, before the decapitation.

Actual fashion question
 

My cousin's daughter (junior in college) is spending next semester in NYC doing an internship in marketing or PR. She won't find out until later this fall what industry she'll be working in (though for some reason she thinks it will be a magazine -- don't know if that is a guess or real info).

She wants to start getting clothes to wear. Are there some basic pieces she can get here that will work no matter where she ends up working? Anything in colors other than black? She's a very pale-skinned ice blond.

Many thanks to the fashionistas.
