I don't know WHY I ever watch war movies...

I just had this on in the background, while I was working on a project involving a gnome (NOT EVEN KIDDING)! And around the middle I started wondering...

It's extremely strange that I (a person who professes extreme hate for "depressing" films) should watch SO MANY westerns and war movies...really it's just plain idiotic!

But, then I thought, it's really not too strange that a person who at 12:30am on a Thursday night is sitting on her floor working on a project involving gnomes, should watch a film that goes completely against her nature...

Well, anyways, this is STARTING to sound not very lucid, so....

BTW, have you ever noticed that in war movies the characters die off according to their billing? Starting with the lowest billed dying first, working on up to the hero. Unless of course the hero is Sinatra...then you peak at his second in command (skipping over any members of The Rat Pack/surrogate members of The Rat Pack...). I've always found that fascinating, personally!

Anyways....Good night all! I must finish my gnome project....

Yeah, so here are the James brothers, Frank and Jesse...wearing what appears to be practically the same hat, the same outfit, the same facial expression, and the SAME unnecessary mustache...SAD!

A rather random question about a movie's location...

Now, this is REALLY random, but I was curious to those of you who may have recently seen (or know it super well) The Egg and I.

I haven't seen it in a couple of years (and my DVD copy of it seems to have gone missing). So, I was wondering, in the film, is Betty and Bob's chicken farm located in New York or Washington? I have read a couple of things about it taking place in New York.

But, the book itself (which the movie was based on) takes place in Washington. And the later Ma & Pa Kettle films CLEARLY take place in Washington (towns that are mentioned or shown; the town they live in). So, I was curious. Does the original film take place in Washington or New York?

Thanks ever so!

Happy 101st Birthday Dana!

I ALMOST missed it! Well, technically I did, cause it's now 3:ooam...but maybe I'll just change the time of the post so, it looks like I JUST made it! ;-D!

Anyways, today is the 101st anniversary of Dana Andrews' birth! The classic film world would have been a lot emptier without him! And, I of course would be very sad without my favorite actor ever!

Happy Birthday Dana!
