One of my favorites also, Kevin. Love it that Ward is Duke's "boss" in most of the movie. The hat throw was great.....still want to get someone who can read lips to tell us what Duke said to Ward.,boy was he mad! He said in later interviews that it hit right on his nipple and hurt like H..L. I WILL find someone who can read lips to tell us what he said to Ward. Too bad my Dad is gone.....he could have told us.
Watching the Searchers on TCM. My favorite John Wayne movie.

One of my favorite Duke movies, Gareth. As you probably know, he and Katherine planned to do another one called "Someday", as she mentioned that word in their relationship in the film. One of my favorite dialogues is still the ending of that movie: [last lines]
Eula Goodnight:" Reuben, I have to say it. Livin' with you has been an adventure any woman would relish for the rest o' time. I look at cha, with your burned out face and your big belly and your bear-like paws and your shining eye, and I have to say you're a credit to the whole male sex, and I'm proud to have ya for my friend. " She whips her horse around and rides off to meet the Indian Boy.
Rooster Cogburn:" I'll be damned if she didn't get the last word in again. Well..."
It is strange that I find myself ending off a story or an email like that............sort of says it all. Well...................... KEITH
I think Rooster is really underatted, fun movie don't see the problem so many critics and non Duke fans seem to have with it. Wouldn't have minded another Cogburn movie even if Duke was getting older.

Forgot watched Battle of the Bulge in Blue Ray. Great. I will have to read the book. Just can't believe all of that actually happened! Also What a Wonderful Time of the Year. Andy sang the theme song which became very popular. Henry Winkler was a retired cop but was more like "Fonzie" than most any other movie I have seen him in.,.......good addition to Christmas movie menu! For those with Grandkids,.......get it........$3 at the Dollar Store, YEP. KEITH
No Senora, I am the director. You share MY trailer not that old man's! KEITH
I found Idol of the Crowds at WalMart one day for $3. Wasn't a bad movie considering it was one of Duke's early ones. Mine was Conflict...boxing, lumberjack movie with Duke and Ward. Always enjoy watching it. KEITH
No Way Out Alain Delon gangster movie

Great story Keith I find Hoffa very interesting especially given his disappearance and the polarizing opinions people have of him. In a similar vein tonight I watched The Untouchables another story which doesn't stick to the history. Costner was fine as the straight character Ness but it was Connery who really stole the show despite his terrible accent. DeNiro was an interesting choice for Capone but I think Bob Hoskins would have been the better choice, Morricone provided a great score. I don't know what it was about both Hoffa and The Untouchables but given their casts, subject matter and the people behind them they both should have been great movies but both really fell short despite being both watchable and entertaining.
You Know Irish, I believe there are some people who cannot be adequately portrayed in a movie. Hoffa was one. Haven't seen the New Untouchables yet. Good old Ward was another........absolutely impossible, LOL! Happy Thanksgiving, Kiddo! KEITH
Yep, he did, Tommy.
I watched Follow the River with Brandon, Audie and Jimmy, (accordian, singing and all). KEITH
Smart feller you are Gareth. Hoffa was a much more complicated and interesting man than that portrayed. Not saying he was an angel by any means, LOL. When he visited my guy, Gibbons, at his house in St. Louis, he used to make Gibbons have push up contests with him. Just as Jimmy was beginning to get tired, Anne, Gibbons wife, would lie down on top of her husband, and Gibbons wouldn't even slow down. Jimmy was quite adept at one hand push ups though, LOL! KP
Hoffa with Jack Nicholson and Danny De Vito interesting enough and I liked it but it really didn't have alot of depth to it considering Hoffa's rich life story. Liked the scenes with RFK best
I've never understood that last bit. "Other things, Michaleen" Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
I assume it means the death he caused in the ring? KEITH Anybody else?
Hawkswill, this has not been photoshopped. It is a vintage still from the days long before photoshopping. But I think they hand tinted a black and white photo. Looks more tinted to me than faded from the sun. Maybe it was tinted --and then faded!
Hi there Paula, I suppose I used the wrong word. I use "Photoshopped" for anything like tinting, LOL. But, for sure something has been done to it! Say Hi to your hubby, and have a great day.,,,,,,,Oh, give SON a big hug for me, LOL! KEITH
Shopped for sure, Paula. Just look at the images. Man the more I see SON, the more I just Love him. Wardell is still first with me though, LOL. Heh..he was really a hunk when he was young! KEITH
All of my childhood I couldn't stand I Love Lucy, although most of my friends would not miss it. When I caught a rerun many years later, I laughed myself silly. Since then have watched all of her stuff. She was one very unique and special comedian. When I was in the Springs, her husband and Manager used to play golf at my club fairly often. Name was Gary Morton. He was a wonderful fellah, around us anyway. My guy played golf with him sometimes, and I would meet them on the course for a few holes when I could. Never met Lucille though. Sure would have liked to...........she was a real classic. KEITH
i can not find the post of i love lucy but it was one of the shows i did not like.
Thanks for the YT link.
Sad to see Glen starting to fade.
You are welcome. Yep, but he sure had fun in his life. He seemed to always be a "ball of energy" ready to do whatever fun that was suggested.

Showdown with Rock Hudson and Dean Martin, was a decent Western from the latter part of their careers, seeing ol Dino is always a treat though.
LOL Gareth, Dino used to say that Westerns were the easiest job he had. He said they sort of did themselves. I think I have Showdown but don't remember it. Have to look, thanks! KEITH And I agree with you there........seeing or hearing Dino in ANYTHING is a treat.......man that guy sure loved life and his fellow man.....can't leave off Golf......his favorite passion........was GOOD at it too.
Not as hard as you think, Mark. My ex fiancee, the white water expert, wore one the whole time on the river. I believe the one I showed had a neck strap on it. In White Water, you have to have a strap on your hat. It is not IF you will crash and burn, it is when. And when that raft goes over, the river takes everything not tied down or on, LOL! The flap is actually very flexible and keeps your neck from getting painful sunburn if you have short hair. In this pic, I was wearing my Tilley hat. Expensive but guaranteed for life........super boating hat....it had a neck string too........mostly seen on sail boaters. That is my Dog Pickup........just Loved White Water, after the first rapid at which she jumped out of the boat. She knew she was NOT allowed in a raft.....even on shore without her life jacket on. She would stand by the raft looking around waiting for someone to put it on her. Barry and I are in what we called "the Jacuzzi" beside the Middle Keenies, the second of three dangerous rapids one right after the other. Miss ya, KEITH
Me and Barry Jacu.jpg
Thank you kindly, Keith. I knew I would get an answer eventually. It would take me some getting use to that flap hanging off the back.

I didn't know him, but I sure did know Gordon Macrae. He was my golfing buddy, LOL. KEITH
