Fortunately, here in Aus, it hasn't suffered from the censor's scissors yet. It was on last Saturday night. Still makes my sides hurt!

Speaking from a strictly aesthetic point of view, that is a very nice arse in those white trousers. ;-)

Big Hollywood : Liberal Hollywood Shortchanges Actresses

Helen Mirren was a doll at 25. She was one of the hottest babes in the world in her time. Watch Excalibur. She's way older than I am, but I still believe she's hotter than most of the young Borg actresses of today. What also makes her so attractive is that total self-confidence in herself. She has absolutely no need to prove anything to anyone. She just is.

Speaking as an Aussie Sheila, miss Garofalo would be called a scrag, or a bush pig. My personal preference would be to call her a bush pig. Sheila, in aussie, is just another way of saying bird, broad, chick etc. It is not a derogatory term.

Big Hollywood : Today's Open Thread: #7 Jean Simmons

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 01:10:03 +0000

Hi dodgergirl,

I followed a link from an aussie site to Big Hollywood the day after it started. I've been following Big since it started.
Yes, I'm conservative and libertarian. If that is not a paradox!

Quite a few aussie's follow the Big sites. You can often see a link to a story on the Big sites on one of our aussie blogs.

A lot of conservative bloggers and commenters over here keep track of what's happening in the States. We seem to be having parallel problems right now.

It's 11 am, sunday morning here. Eastern Time. I live an hour's drive south of Sydney.

I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, but you are welcome to email me. I can't promise I'll answer straight away, but I will get back to you. I live on a small farm and keep pretty busy with the livestock and my vegetable garden. Plus my husband and son.

We have something similar to netflix here, it's through Big Pond, our biggest telco and internet provider. I haven't signed up yet.

It's been a pleasure to meet you dodgergirl.

Cheers, Pogria.

Remember Barbara Stanwyck's character brought her brother and his family over from New Zealand to run the property? Jean Simmons played the brother's wife. They had a heap of sons and only one daughter, Megan. She was critical to the story. See if you can round up a copy of the Thornbirds and watch it again. Maybe Netflix? We don't have Netflix here in Aus yet. sigh..........................

Jean Simmons' was the standout performance in the mini-series "The Thornbirds".

Big Hollywood : Today's Open Thread: #8 Ingrid Bergman

Thu, 2 Jun 2011 07:28:41 +0000

Interesting film fact about the hair do in "Tolls". Ms Bergman didn't actually have a crew cut, her hair was cut short, but a hairdresser had to follow her around throughout filming with a curling iron in her hand. Before and after every scene, the hairdresser would quickly curl any flat locks back up onto Mr Bergman's head. The hairstyle caused a great kerfuffle following the release of the film, as thousands of women went to their hairdresser and demanded the same cut as Ms Bergman's!

Shawshank bored me to tears. Forest Gump was enjoyable. The only Tom Hanks movie I can watch again and again is "The Hudsucker Proxy". THAT was a genius film. Also, Pulp Fiction ROCKS!!!

The article I'm linking to, is a horrifying example of what is happening in Britain now regarding gun ownership. Read and cry. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1380753/F...

Big Hollywood : Today's Open Thread: #20 Rosalind Russell

Fri, 20 May 2011 16:48:25 +0000

"Sister Kenny", is one of my all time favourite Rosalind Russell films. It's a shame it has become obscure in recent years. She was deservedly nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of Sister Kenny. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038948/

You must have been on the phone while the movie was playing Carl, because they are "FROST", giants, not frozen ones. Wouldn't have been a problem if they'd been frozen.

Harry, that was great. If you can ever locate a copy of Jilly Cooper's book, "Animals in War", grab it and don't let it go. It is a well researched history of the many animals that have been used in wars throughout history. It was written over twenty years ago, so will not have anything about recent conflicts, but the information still holds true. Dogs, Cats and Horses RULE!!!
