Open Thread Tuesday

When I think of Tony Perkins, I think Psycho, Fear Strikes Out, and Green Mansions.

In your guts you know he's nuts.

America Held Hostage-The Obama Administration Day 666

Only 1160 days until our long, national nightmare is over.

Our obsequent president got a scolding from Miss Manners: "Never mix a bow with a handshake!"

Actually, he married later in life and had two children.

Do the Obamahandlers realize the consequences of trying KSM in a civilian court where he will be found not guilty because the prosecution is unable to prove his guilt without a doubt, or is it the intent of the Obamahandlers to see that KSM goes free despite their claims of wanting the death penalty for him?

I've said it before but, people don't like being insulted or to hear somone insult their country and way of life.
The constant barrage from hollywood turns people off.
The newest thing that capitalism is a trap or slavery? Every one knows that capitalism can make you rich. the hollywood morons who rail against it really don't understand that they are biting the hand that feeds them.
So be it.
Once upon a time Jim Carrey wrote himself a post dated check for $10 Million. Now he claims that capitalism is wrong. Sorry man, no more. You are boycotted. Now I'm jst one person. but it seems that a lot of "one persons" are doing the same thing for a long list of people.
If these guys just want to have half of the potential audience, fine. I await the Hollywood or Flyover Studios or whatever that is willing to go after the other half.

*sigh*, I think you guys should see this: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43097

LOL @ the "GQ names Obama Leader of The Year" ..is that real? I mean, seriously..leadership from the one doesn't exist.

Sounds like an Onion headline.

I believe the Obama administration knows exactly what it's doing. And it's not good at all.

My opinion, Barack Obama is more concerned with how others view him. So he can't be bothered to realize he's the leader of the free world.

The Obama's draw eye balls, which advertisers crave. So as long as he sells, he'll be every where.

It's going to be interesting to watch him react when his picture actually begins to repel viewers and the MSM drops him.

How fitting that his last big show was called "Get A Life."

You and me both–I'm not just sick of his ever-present image, but his voice! Does he ever stop talking?

Check this out quick before the bozos in Washington fix this, jobs created by the stimulus package, the New Hampshire "00" congressional district!

Does anyone remember seeing Anthony Perkins on Saturday Night Live? He did a very funny commercial for "The Norman Bates School of Hotel Management". Students would take a multiple choice quiz to determine their aptitude and every single question ended with, "C. Hack her to death with a butcher knife."

Those are good movies. How about Murder on the Orient Express? What a cast that movie had!

Keep your eyes on this, just in case the libs try sending another democrat to the House from this district.

Conservative 'unconcedes' in NY US House race
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A Conservative Party candidate has withdrawn his concession in a close special election for a U.S. House seat, and New York election officials are beginning to count paper ballots.

/Wooooooo !!!

Perhaps Norman could become Oprahbamas hotel Czar!…..maybe?

You're welcome. I have met a few stars of his era and they have unfailingly been exceptionally pleasant to me, just a humble shop keep once upon a time.

JoeKid, "Never mix a bow with a handshake."

Never mix a President with being a leader.

Open thread – so in addition to Tony Perkins, I'd like to mention a non-star, but steadily working actor – the character actor Joe Campanella. If he is still working he is closing in on 60 years of film and television. Never a star, but one of the most familiar faces and voices ever.

He would stop into the store and was a big fan of old westerns. He was as nice and friendly as can be unfailingly. Folks might not notice him when they came in thew store and he was there, but as soon as he began to speak, people turned around.

Also – great family man, WW2 vet, committed member of his church always doing stuff for free for them, readings and recordings and such. He even did an impromptu commercial for my store which he said I could use in my ads. That would have cost me thousands of dollars to have him do it in a studio. Sadly, they were doing a floor removal next store and the jackhammering noise was awful.

One time there was a FUGITIVE convention here in LA, so I called the promoter and asked him if he was interested in having Joe as a speaker b/c Joe was in some key episodes, including the finale. They said, "Yes!" I called Joe and told him and he said "Sure". He went with his wife and he said he had a great time and saw some fellow actors and actresses that he had not seen in 30 – 40s years….and a free meal!

It's been maybe ten years since I spoke with him, so I hope his elder years are going well for him.

Anyway – Joe Campanella – one heck of a nice gent.

I think of Friendly Persuasion and the Black Hole . . . after I think of Psycho and it's (lame) sequels.

NBC Green Week mini-report: Heroes had their entry last night, but they weren't exactly playing ball. This season's villain was throwing bags of aluminum cans onto a truck and he said, "With all that this green earth has given us, it's nice to give something back." He had "kidnapped" Hiro's girlfriend, so Hiro replies, "Why don't you give me Charlie back?"

I'm under no illusion that the people behind Heroes are anything but standard Hollywood lefties, but I get the sense they don't care for the Green Week meddling.

Thanks L.B. I found that post quite interesting, as I always like Mr. Campenella too. I remember him being in a lot of 70's series i.e. "One Day at a Time," and others too numerous to mention. He just seemed to be everywhere. I'm glad to hear that he is a nice man.
If I may inquire, what store that you saw him are you speaking of?

Friendly Persuasion is a great call. My list was made from the first three that jumped to mind without looking at a filography and interestingly were from the late 50's. I probably tend to associate Coop more with Friendly Persuasion, as well as Dorothy Maguire, but A.P. was excellent as well. Those three films were all among the first I remember as a young kid. Of course, because of the baseball connection, I really enjoyed Fear Strikes Out.

It's just a shot in character. He was actually very pleasant looking.

I wasn't suggesting he wasn't.

The fact that he can turn "that look" on was sufficient.

TONY PERKINS

And there was PRETTY POISON which people were raving about in 1968. I saw it ages ago and not since and I remember it as VERY different.

And TUESDAY WELD, now mostly forgotten, but at the time – holy smokin'!
