Current Talk '03 II / The Bat Pack?
« on: August 21, 2003, 10:07:09 PM »
Here's something silly that's been sizzling on my brain pan for a while...The husband and I are big Rat Pack fans and after watching PT for the first time, it got me thinking that DS has some rat pack "counterparts".

First, Barn is Sinatra. He's the central figure, moody, romantic, an absolutely wonderful voice.

Quentin is Dino - the lovable rogue who likes his hooch.

Willie is sort of a cross between Sammy (multi-talented, loyal, diminutive) and Joey Bishop (comic relief with a NY accent).

Julia is definitely Shirley Maclaine - the redhead, who all the guys think of as a sister.

Roger's got kind of a Peter Lawford-lockjaw thing going.

Even though she's blond, Angelique is Ava Gardner - the beauty that Barn has an intenese love-hate thing with.

Roxanne is Mia Farrow - the much-younger waif that Barn hangs around with for a while to sort of, um, cleanse his palette.

I guess in a stretch you could say that Josette is like Nancy, Frank's first wife (and a brunette) - their relationship ended when they were both still young, but they remained close for the rest of his life.

So there you have it. Fun with archetypes. Does anybody see this besides me? Or am I on crack again?  ;)

Current Talk '03 II / Nifty fang blooper

Did anyone else notice that when Barn went to Buffie's apartment yesterday, you could totally see him put his fangs in before he bites her? Right after he comments on the "lovely painting", he's facing towards it and away from the camera but you can see his hand go up to his mouth and sort of fiddle around.

This just cracked me right up!*sigh* There's just no other show like this.

Current Talk '03 II / Barney breaks out?

Er, did anyone else notice that Barn has had a zit (or something) on the right side of his nose all week?

I'm not trying to be mean - I love that man to distraction - but well, it was just kind of hard to miss. In fact, Frid's looked kind of tired all week long. After filming a movie and going right back to the day job, I think someone needed a vacation!

Current Talk '03 I / Barn's letter to Julia
« on: March 05, 2003, 05:17:29 PM »
Did anyone else notice that he never addressed the envelope? He just grabs it, seals it and sticks it in the cubbyhole. And then in 1969 Nora reads it aloud: "Dr. Julia Hoffman". You don't think they were two different letters, do you?  ;)

Guess he's got a real crack admin assistant.

And yes, I actually went back to see if he may have addressed it before he wrote the letter and he didn't. And yes, it pains me to admit that I'm this obsessed but there you go.

Current Talk '02 II / Barnabas and Laura?
« on: November 22, 2002, 07:45:33 PM »
Having not seen the 1795 episodes (keep those DVDs coming, dudes), I am confused by his shocked reaction upon seeing her. Was it because she was a phoenix back then too? Or was he just surprised at how much she looked like Jeremiah's wife?

Also, did B. have some kind of crush on her when he was young? Or is that something I've picked up from reading way too much fan fiction?

Sorry for my cluelessness, I just don't tape the show if B's not on. There's only so many hours in the day. :-)
