Text of the page (random words):
more like a lamb or a timid lion ok i have a theme with my 3 film choices and let s see if you guess what the theme is 1 public enemy 1931 this film is directed by one of my favourites wild bill william wellman who made a star out of james cagney as a brutal thug come gangster who is equal parts psychopath sociopath and brute we see how he and his friend rise up in the gangster era with their molls played by mae clarke joan blondell and jean harlow the famous scene where cagney pushes a grapefruit into mae clarke s face was unscripted and caught mae clarke by surprise the last scene is to me still one of the most brutal scenes done on film wellman could create a crisp finely tuned film his film wings is the first best picture winner with great aerial battles that look quite realistic it should be since wellman was the first american to be part of the lafayette 87 during ww1 and he received the croix de guerrero with 2 palms i need to read his biography 2 up in arms 1944 this was the first major film of danny kaye who plays a hypochondriac who gets drafted into the army his best friend dana andrews volunteers to keep an eye on his dumb ass friend their girlfriends join up as nurses but the gals like the other friend dinah shore was the gal who really wanted danny kaye and they provide some good scenes with dinah shore singing some really pretty songs dinah shore was more famous as a singer and later on tv shows including her daytime tv show plus dating burt reynolds i need to watch this fun movie again as i haven t seen it in decades 3 the fabulous dorseys 1947 i watched this movie last year and the acting of these 2 famous brothers has a little to be desired but it s entertaining for the music that they can do in spades the 2 brothers are shown how they rise from obscurity to become famous but they quarrel a lot this one gal played by janet blair is trying to play peacemaker in actuality the 2 brothers did fall out back in 1935 over the way a song was being played but they did make this film and were on tv together where they introduced elvis presley jimmy dorsey who smoked and drank and died in 1957 from lung cancer was brilliant for playing the flight of the bumblebee in one breath can you figure out my theme bonus posted by birgit at 2 29 2024 14 comments wednesday february 28 2024 lemmings leap or jump february has been warmer than ever not good for the trees and plants and today it is supposed to hit 14c it will be warm until friday and plummet 20 degrees in a few hours so march might be coming in like a lion or lamb our kaspar is a lion who is sleeping like a sweet lamb so i thought this picture works over at monday music moves me we are talking about leap and or jump obviously that song by van halen came into my head but it was played to death back in the 80s and i found their video gross i went another way as i like to do here are my 3 1 jumpin jive by cab calloway i thpught of this great song and dance number by the superlative nicholas brothers they should be in the same realm as fred astaire and gene kelly but they are black so so very sad this is from the film stormy weather that featured an all black cast bill bojangles robinson and lena horne heading with this number a highlight i just don t know how they did this but they are breathtaking 2 jump for joy sung by ivy anderson 1941 this lady has a beautiful voice and died too young from heart failure she had diabetes and other ailments but bing crosby helped her out always because she helped him when he was starting out and he never forgot 3 take a leap sung by julie andrews and david hyde pierce 2017 i hope i found the right video for this song this is quite a sweet song and to be honest i m not sure it is from 2917 because julie andrews lost her singing voice a long time ago due to a botched vocal chord surgery to remove polyps but she is here singing with david who played frazier s brother niles what songs can you think of posted by birgit at 2 28 2024 11 comments monday february 26 2024 christmas fun christmas card throwdown retiform technique stamping sensations animals birds creatures addicted to stamps christmas this is an old style but i never made one like this and it was fun i took a scrap paper a sponge and a dye ink pad in apricot brown and started to create the geometric shapes i placed down the paper onto a cardstock i had floating around for a while i created the background using red and green distress ink with water i took a few small stamps and bigger evergreen ones along with brown green and red dye ink pads and started to stamp to make sure you don t stamp in other areas you cover the area you don t want stamped with posted notes once that was all stamped i added the bow and the saying abc christmas cats and dogs ccayr hearts crafty animals anything goes sparkles challenge hearts and flowers inspiration station dog and cat cuddly i used my cuddlebug and an embossing folder i ve had for a while but never used i took some grey cardstock cut it so it fit the folder and took my red dye ink and rub it on the flat side i pressed it through and the red came right onto the card i coloured in the rose and leaves with a glitter pen for some added oomph i stamped my sweet pussy cat in black and used my tombow markers to colour in my pussy cat plus i added some glitter obviously i fussy cut her out and glued her in place i added the hearts the green leaves and the wood flower that i coloured in red with the dye ink pad and glued them in place i placed it on some green cardstock with some stamped greenery in green dye ink and voila have a beautiful day and week ahead posted by birgit at 2 26 2024 19 comments thursday february 22 2024 old love before i start i will let you know who won the oscar from yesterday s song post once again joel got it right i m easy won the oscar while the theme from mahogany was nominated and the other song from nashville got nuttin now there are a ton a ton of romance films from all genres but it s almost always with young people and i do think at times that love is wasted on the young i decided to talk about films that deal with old love and i went with a theme within a theme choosing all tv movies here are my 3 1 love among the ruins 1975 this stars 2 greats katherine hepburn and laurence olivier and directed by the great george cukor who directed hepburn 10 times i believe hepburn plays a woman who loves em and drops them with her latest paramour a much younger man being upset and sues her she decides to fight and hires a famous barrister played by olivier forgetting that she did the same thing to him 40 years ago but he still carries a torch for her this is a lovely movie that is romantic during the early years of the 20th century it may not be the best of hepburn s films or olivier s but it is nice to watch 2 summer solstice 1981 i saw this film when it first came out and thought it was a great swan song for both of these great actors this film was the last film for both of them but you wouldn t know it because they acted so well together it s the story about a married couple of 50 years and the ups and downs they went through in their marriage it is a very good film about marriage and the highs and lows i always loved myrna loy who got a great role in this film and she acted her heart out 3 one special night 1999 this is the 3rd and last pairing of james garner and julie andrews who became great friends when they first met in the early 1960s and figured they must have kissed 500 times in fact julie andrews always said garner knew how to kiss because in their first film after he kissed her her legs buckled they decided to star in this tv movie about a man whose wife has dementia and is in long term care and andrews plays a doctor one snowy night near christmas his car get stuck and she picks him up only to get stuck herself they find an unused cabin and spend a wonderful night without any hanky panky talking and find they actually have much in common unfortunately a series of errors and misunderstandings keeps them apart but you know something will happen to bring them together another sweet and touching film with a love that happens to people who are over 30 what movies can you think of that deals with a love between 2 older people posted by birgit at 2 22 2024 18 comments wednesday february 21 2024 which song won the oscar for 1975 so i decided to choose another year from the 1970s because i haven t been back to the 70s in a long time 1975 is a fun time with jaws and disco making headway i m joining in with the monday music movies me even though it s wednesday let s see if you can figure out which song won the oscar which one was nominated and which came up with neither 1 i m easy sung by keith carradine this song is from the film nashville directed by robert altman with a star studded cast and a film that i really want to see this film was written and sung by keith carradine from the famous carradine clan whose father was john carradine and brother was david carradine 2 it don t worry me sung by keith carradine yup this come from the same film and was also written and sung by keith carradine i had no idea he was so talented 3 do you know where you re going to sung by diana ross this song comes from the movie mahogany starring diana ross and it s a dumb ass movie but it s fun with the fashion and it has this song this was written by mike messer music and gerry goffin lyrics and became a huge hit for ross so can you guess who won who was nominated and who got nuttin posted by birgit at 2 21 2024 20 comments tuesday february 20 2024 had a fun crafty weekend the flower challenge use a heart the male room use a heart we love stamping

bittersweet romances i can t stand love story and other predictable boy meets girl one s rich the other poor daddy hates the union one dies the end snore there are many romantic films many but i decided to center on the bittersweet romances of which there are many here are 3 i chose for this week 1 waterloo bridge 1940 this film is a full on romantic melodrama that i should not like but i do
