Gosh....Im gonna have to get that movie out of the cabinet now....
That's right. There's not a lot of dialog in the movie, which is one of the reasons it works so well. The actor's expressions often say more than words ever could. The cliff scene, for example. It lasts around ten or fifteen minutes but with the exception of the music you don't hear anything. It's all movement.
Yep, Brian was/is sort of a man's man. He's gone to seed, though, seriously. Kind of looks like Marlon Brando now (girth-wise). ;-)
I read an article when the movie was released...it seems Daniel Day-Lewis got so into character that he rarely stayed in the local hotel, he lived in the woods to keep in character...
LOL I have on loan from the library right now. (Again.)
The President does all of his major speeches from a teleprompter, but he always has it in a binder before him as well. Remember the teleprompter going blank during one of Clinton's SOTU addresses and he had to ad lib? Pres. Bush takes an insurance policy with him just in case. You will see him reading from the teleprompter as well as keeping up with the speech in the binder and turning the pages at the appropriate time. He must know his major speeches very well.
That made me chuckle.
Contrast and compare with Rumsfeld.
Thx for the info. Where is the teleprompter? In the podium? It always looks to me like he's reading from that notebook, probably as you said because he's turning the pages.
Really. Rummy is still a hunk and sharp as a tack, and I suspect more active than many men half his age. And Cheney and W are in or close to their 60's, and still very attractive men. I imagine Karzai is in his 60's.
Wonderful museum. I visited it three years ago.
Sure you can call me Wolfie. Wolfstar is part of the registered name of my last male German Wirehaired Pointer, who died last February at the age of 14. I used to call him Wolfie his whole life.
I search the WH press briefings and news reports for info on each upcoming week. The press briefings are not always reliable for schedule info, but I can usually pick up bits and pieces by keeping an eye out during the week. I save what I want to use for the weekend in the Windows Notepad.
I came across the actual itinerary for this upcoming trip on the "Stars and Stripes" website. I searched in Yahoo News and came across it that way. It accompanied an article about the preparations the Weisbaden base is making for the visit by the President and First Lady.
Hope this helps.
Nope, he didn't take the bait. This man the Left and its media shills likes to call stupid, immediately turned her question on its head and subtly reminded people that the problems in European relationship these last few years stem from Chirac, Schroeder and their toadies being 9/10/01 people, while U.S. policy has forever changed to a post 9/11 perspective.
In other words, he didn't back down one inch.
I do to, CyberAnt, although it isn't my "thing" to actually start one. I'll leave that to the folks who are good at it.
Glad you like them, CyberAnt.
Snugs, re your #116, thanks for helping out. Much appreciated.
I am SO waiting for the first images like that.
I just think Clinton's frat-party lifestyle is catching up to him. He's the same age as GWB and Laura -- 58. Bubba is a senior citizen now, and time has a way of writing our past on our faces as we age.
Agree.
Hi, Pol. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but was at dinner. It was a wild and stormy night here last night. There was hail in Playa del Rey (near LAX) and Palos Verdes. There were water spouts and tornados at different places around the area. Lightening, thunder, huge buckets of rain. It was one heck of a storm. Quite unusual for the L.A. basin. All is well where I live, though. No storm damage.
