Current Talk '02 II / Re: The Horror! The Wig Returns!
« on: August 03, 2002, 02:37:07 AM »
I agree that Grayson's striking looks make the best of both hairdos. I think I prefer the wig, though. I didn't know it WAS a wig until I came here, I don't think it is obvious. And as one who has fine, thin hair and can recognize a hairmate when she sees one....I don't blame her for wearing one at all! Unfortunately, I lack her cheekbones and so am just out of luck completely.  :'(

Come on, Barn!  Adam fell off Widow's Hill and lived...do you really think your gun is gonna help you?


Who all has thought a gun would do the trick with Adam? Barnabus, Willie, Joe, anybody else? Oh no, here we go AGAIN...!

They didn't have to. Ever. It is kind of along the lines of the women's makeup being perfect at every moment of the night or day, without ever being taken off or applied.

What a shocking moment it was in t.v. history to actually HEAR the clink-whoosh in the Bunker household!And there WAS a movie that showed Jane Fonda on the pot, was it "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice"?

But in Collinwood? NEVER!

So true. Though I am actually dreading his creepy intro. It takes so long for him to be the Q that I know and love.

It was an interesting show. Have to wonder how the two would or wouldn't get along.

My grandpa used to know Crawford when she was young. Her mother was a waitress then and my grandpa delivered cookies to the restaurant. He didn't like her. That's about all I know of it.

Current Talk '02 II / Which is the dullest knife in the drawer???
« on: August 02, 2002, 12:33:50 AM »
Each of you can cast your vote! The nominees are:

Earth to Barnabus: HELLOOOOO, Maggie Evans is NOT the only woman on the face of the earth! There are even some others who CAN be hypnotized!

Adam: Once more, HELLOOOOO, Maggie Evans is NOT the only woman on the face of the earth! You question Barney about everything else, but take his word that the experiment is off without her????

Julia: The stand-by-your-man thing is cute, but not when he is acting dumber than a box of cheese.

Willie, the gallant dork:  So sweet and the ONLY one with the nads to stand up to Barney and protect his gal. (Nicholas would have, but it took a lot more gumption for Willie to do it!) Then, he just walks away and leaves the door open! Ka-thunk is the sound of my hand hitting his head!

Maggie: The amnesiac kidnap victim who has NEVER known who her abductor was. "Why would Barnabus want to hurt ME? He's nice to me!" "Why would you say that someone wants to hurt me, YOU must be CRAZY!" She and Willie were made for each other.

Jeffy Clark: he doesn't even have to be in the episode to be included in this vote. Just because. (Is it ONLY 70 times, I would have sworn he grabbed his head at least that many times in the last show he was on!)

PERSONALLY, I have to go with Maggie on this one.

Current Talk '02 II / Dark Shadows: Special Edition DVID
« on: August 01, 2002, 06:25:56 AM »
I just saw this for the first time. It was rather funny when Dan Curtis talked about how if he really liked an actor he would bring them back for role after role, "like Roger Davis." Isn't that an amazing admission?  ::)

I was further shocked by another element of it.  :o When they were on "On Location" it was narrated by Nancy Barrett. They showed the "Evans cottage" along with a clip. They actually used Mark Allen instead of David Ford playing Sam Evans! What was he in three or four episodes and David Ford was on for about two years?

I'm not intending to break the rules here, though I am probably getting close. The Barrett/Ford marriage is a matter of record, therefore not gossip, right? And the choosing to ignore Ford as THE Sam Evans in the DVD would be pretty public too. I can only surmise that there was a lot of animosity after the marriage broke up, which isn't surprising, what surprises me is that it would apparently continue for so very long. The DVD is probably two or three years old at most and Ford died in 1983. IF any comments can be made, I would find it most illuminating. If they can't be made here, perhaps I could get an IM?

Well, you have good taste. I'll still pick Roger, but that's alright. We don't have to fight over our man! [sun]

I think the reason Jeff Clark doesn't like Adam is because he feels threatened by the man-made man; after all, Adam has become a bigger braying jackass than even Jeff Clark--a trick I didn't know was possible.


Oh, so true! But, now that I've stopped hee-hawing long enough to type, I wonder why Jeffy hates EVERY body else?!

The difference between the two episodes WAS quite striking. And the initial scene in the second was the same as in the first, but what a difference. I am not a techie, but my guess is that Dan Curtis experimented with crappy quality film.

I do NOT think a blonde should sleep on mustard yellow sheets. Yeeucch.  :P Though, she certainly DID look great when she got up off of them. Nancy Barrett is so beautiful, but she did get less so in the later episodes in my opinion. I think it was something odd they did with her eyebrows.  :'(

I can just see all the townspeople bearing down upon Collinwood for safety! After all, there is OBVIOUSLY no school there, right?  ;)

"I don't want a mate anymore!"


Funny, I have said the same thing!

Makeup did smudge, but oddly enough in the sixties, it was never acknowledged to exist. You would then see an actress playing a nun wearing two sets of false eyelashes! I guess we were to believe this look was natural. Mmmmhmmm.

I think Nicholas just happens to look smashing in grey. He and Angie go way back with oblique references to their past together, presumably in Hell.

Current Talk '02 II / Re: Carolyn and Tony
« on: July 29, 2002, 08:40:37 PM »
Well, this IS a soap opera and not real life. SO, what we really want is excellent chemistry and a not too blissful relationship. Yes, I think Carolyn and Tony belonged together! He is a handsome, sexy guy as Tony and they play off each other very well. In a way that she and Joe never quite did. Joe was just a nice guy in a hopeless love that he could never make her feel. Tony can actually hold his own with little Missy Stoddard! It is fun to watch them and I wish they had kept it going longer.

Spoiler:


ANYTHING would have been better than her and JEB. Yuck. Carolyn and Professor Stokes. Carolyn and her cousin, Barney. Carolyn and Maggie. (Wouldn't THAT have gotten all the guys' interest?!) ANYBODY!

Current Talk '02 II / Re: Sometimes I wish the original Collins kept their moxie
« on: July 28, 2002, 03:46:39 AM »
Yes, this is the unfortunate aspect of the show's success. It would have been nice if they had kept the strength of the early characters. I like David better when he is less homicidal, and Roger is better when he doesn't hate his son. But those are the only two positives that I can think of in regards to the changing of the original Collins.
