When are you going to the canal?

Never went and I leave for vacation on Saturday, so probably never lol

At least it is shallow so that it freezes rather quickly. Hopeful to get out there again this winter

What'd you do to your avatar?

that cheese looked...weird

It's the personal pizza that he got. Those just look bad. The real round pies aren't as bad. It's like Domino's/Pizza Hut level pie. So in a pinch it works.

I don’t think I posted anything for a bit so I was wondering how long it was gonna take for you to notice…

My initial thought was to post something about Berggren in the GDT

Since you're Upside down magua you should post something negative about Berggren

 

[DancingPanther]

We should all use Magua avatars until him and @BigToe stop fighting

I had it when they fight

Watch The Cincinnati Kid. Or Notorious. That one has a Swede in it.

Edit: I forgot Ann-Margret was Swedish too. So they both have Swedes.

Notorius is one of my favorite Hitch movies.

I would like to point out a pretty egregious error in this site's redesign. How on earth could any thread on this Board be designated as "Normal"?

I was thinking of maybe trying to head over to Marsh Creek Friday afternoon. Figured that might not have as much snow on it

Not a bad idea. I cant make it out there, but let me know how it goes!

I have it on DVD but haven't watched in in a while. I'll have to break it out soon. That and Spellbound are two of my faves. Can't really go wrong with Ingrid Bergman/Cary Grant/Gregory Peck.

Grant and Peck are my two favorite Old Skool actors. Grant is a hideously underrated comic actor.

Rear Window and North by Northwest have always been my favorite Hitchcock films. Sure, they're low-hanging fruit, but Grace Kelly and Thelma Ritter KILL it in the former and Bernard Herrmann's score and Eva Marie Saint's sensuality dominate the latter. Plus, James Mason is another of my favorites.

Those aside, Rope is Jimmy Stewart at his best. Some dizzying overacting by the two other leads, however. It was Hitchcock's first color feature and, gimmickry aside (the continuous shot conceit), it's a masterful one-room film. Leo Carroll in this film and Cedric Hardwick in North by Northwest have two of the best Hollywood voices of all time.

Rope is one of the best chamber-piece films of all-time. Just saw it for the first time last year and it shot way up my list.
