Okay, an explanation! That was a photo of PBO speaking to astronauts, but it was photoshopped by naughty people and replaced with David Beckham’s pic ….. presumably it was meant to be PBO laughing at Beckham and England being knocked out of the World Cup??
You will absolutely love the movie – it’s a must-see. I’m still mad at USA Network for only having only one showing of the 50th anniversary special. I set my DVR to tape the movie that Saturday and Comcast did not come through for me. I still haven’t quite gotten over this. I’m mad at both USA and Comcast!!
You have got to go to Netflix or your nearest Blockbuster and rent the movie NOW! Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch stands as a symbol for justice, fairness, dignity, equality & the tenets that all men are created equal. The actress who portrayed Scout Finch will grab your heart and never let go.
It is a must see. Hands down one of the best movies of all time.
Hello to all. this is by far my favorite book. The movie does justice to the book which isn’t always the case. Atticus Finch is a man of integrity and character, much like your President.
Yep. I bought the two disc one thinking that I was getting just the Lana Turner one. I ended up getting the one with Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers as well. I love that one more than the 1959 one because the actress that played the daughter was Freddi Washington, an actual mixed actress.
Then, CK, you are in for a treat because among all the wonderful qualities of the movie, Gregory Peck is one of the handsomest men ever to appear on the screen. And I do mean ever!!
Good old Willard. Still can’t get over that $20,000 loan comment. When I think back on it, I was 17 the summer I started college. My mother gave me a ride, some food and $100 before she turned back to make the 5 hour trek back to her house. It must have been nice getting a cool million and some stocks to start Willard on his journey to adulthood. Fucker.
Willard can only think of money in terms of 000’s of dollars…he cannot imagine any other denomination. First the 10K bet at the debates, now the 20k loan from Parents. More evidence of that silver spoon he was born with!
Lisa, my mother was a widow with three girls who had literally nothing to give us. I went to college on a full scholarship and worked every summer and during the year to pay for books and train trips home. All of us three girls learned that we had to stand on our two feet and make our own way in life, no matter how tough it got and we did. If I had heard someone like Willard say that I should ask my mom for money, I would have walked out of the room in disgust. This is a man with a pathological inability to identify with other people.
She’s pizzed because her “birther” dad forced her to attend this garbage “rally” or else he will renege on the 20K that he promised her. Meanwhile, all her college peers and acquaintances are all pumped for PBO.
Loved the book, has been one of my fave movies for forever. Loved watching it again recently. And fun seeing a “growed up” Scout. She was perfect in that role as a child. And Gregory Peck played that inspiring role beautifully. One of those great unforgettable movies.
I notice that MSNBC is fixated on only one of PBO’s WHCD jokes – the one in which he jokes that his poll numbers are a remedy for his arrogance. They carefully avoid the beating he gave to Trump last year – which ironically is what most people remember about PBO & the WHCD. This MSNBC obsession with PBO’s poll numbers (even when it’s in the form of a joke) has not been lost on me.
Okay, I see it now. I’m happy. That still doesn’t change my view about MSNBC being fixated – that is the only joke they show when advertising their coverage of the event tomorrow night.
“How important is it that he has a good night?” Whatever, Tweety. Everything has to be a “break or make” event for PBO? It’s a WHCD roast for crying out loud!!!
The thing everybody remembered about last year was, while he was doing that, he was in the Process of killing OBL.
That was remarkable.
Also, these celebrity ads ate a riot. First, the GOP says that Obama is losing support amongst everybody, even Klignons.
Then, he proves them wrong, with several big rallies, so, they change their strategy to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton type ads, you know, THE ONE?
This was already tried and failed. Not to mention, they were all played on cable for free, in a loop for days upon days!
Same Celebrity Strategy??? What’s next- Moses ad? LOL!
So true. And Rove and his super gang don’t realize that everything they show to say President Obama is the cool (celebrity) President is reminding all viewers of their ad that the President is … well … cool. Like his singing. And their guy is in no way associated with cool or celebrity and can’t sing. Major fail for both the WHCD and the damn ad. And the R party. And Willard.
President Obama is the new “Teflon” president…..remember the press crowned that first to Saint Ronnie, then Clinton, then Bush II (although I think people were just afraid of GWB because of the Patriot Act).

Congrats Tally on #1!
w00t!
🙂
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
That’s pretty funny how the reflection on the table doesn’t match the image on the screen.
🙂
yeah! you caught Chips at the “game”. could the image on the table have been from when the US team was playing? I don’t know for sure
Okay, an explanation! That was a photo of PBO speaking to astronauts, but it was photoshopped by naughty people and replaced with David Beckham’s pic ….. presumably it was meant to be PBO laughing at Beckham and England being knocked out of the World Cup??
Ahg Tally you beat me
by mere seconds!
Another hour, or so.
For?!?! 🙂 🙂
Home sweet home, kitty and a cup of tea before dinner! Oh, and an attempt to catch up with Chipsticks and her HUGE family! 😉 😉 😉
Ah…I see. Get home safe friend! 🙂
Nice
I’ve never seen the movie. I read the book in 7th grade though.

Hello back to you. Where are you writing from, Robert?
I’m in Barbados, Jacqueline. Over here in the Caribbean
Oh, where it’s warm. Sigh. (Lucky you!)
I’m in the midwest, where it’s not. 😦
lol.. i’m sorry Jacqueline, my sympathies. Sending positive thoughts your way for warmer weather.
Thanks! We’ve had our ups and downs, literally.
I think you should add this DVD to your collection. If there was ever one to own, this is it.

Also, check out “Imitation of Life” the one with Louise Beavers and Claudette Colbert as well as the one with Lana Turner and Juanita Moore.

Yes people, I am 23 and have seen BOTH of these and have them.
You are a very intelligent 23 year old. I’ve read your comments and they show your youthful energy, with wisdom beyond your years.
I love these movies.
Did you know there are two versions to Imitation of LIfe (the movie star and the bakery)?
Yeah, I’ve seen both…TMC shows them ocassionally.
Yep. I bought the two disc one thinking that I was getting just the Lana Turner one. I ended up getting the one with Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers as well. I love that one more than the 1959 one because the actress that played the daughter was Freddi Washington, an actual mixed actress.
Also, Claudette Colbert was a million times better actress than Lana turner, who always seemed to me to over over acting.
Let me also suggest 2 films that also deal with injustices. The Ox-Bow Incident and Sayonara. Holla back!
Then, CK, you are in for a treat because among all the wonderful qualities of the movie, Gregory Peck is one of the handsomest men ever to appear on the screen. And I do mean ever!!
I must this is my favorite book. I never tire reading and recommending it
Remember seeing the movie in the theater and read the book too. Got an A+ on the book report too! My Liberal Roots are deep.

They’re just not that into you Willard! Yawn! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The girl on the lower right looks like she haz a sad!
She’s pizzed because her “birther” dad forced her to attend this garbage “rally” or else he will renege on the 20K that he promised her. Meanwhile, all her college peers and acquaintances are all pumped for PBO.
You nailed it, for sure.
EmoRomneyFanGirl.
You know, I wonder if this was an extra credit exercise by the teachers to go to that. It has to be.
I was thinking the exact same thing. They all look miserable!

Keep watching. Chris gets to Trump in his last segment

Plus, the President is catching a cold, it seems. And, it’s not h
It’s not his job to entertain the media. (sorry cellphone typing)

He’s cool AND he’s a fantastic president. Romney can’t compete.
President Obama is the new “Teflon” president…..remember the press crowned that first to Saint Ronnie, then Clinton, then Bush II (although I think people were just afraid of GWB because of the Patriot Act).
Yes, he’s the Teflon president – or whatever new innovation replaces Teflon, because he’s far and above those other guys! 🙂
I’m getting excited about our TOD family live blogging tomorrow night for the WHCD!!!!!
Hope cookemom … er … narrates (as only she can do!).
I remember the picture of the President at the table with other folks–can’t remember what was going on——?
FCC rules today that broadcasters must post political ad info online—–who’s buying, amounts etc.

this will be important so that we can see how these MSM vultures are being rewarded for the water for the gop
