Am on vacation, rain all week here in NY...so I am sprucing up the inside, painting, etc.
The pic of the dog laying on the pillow reminded me of my own spoiled pup

That's the one! ;) (What did you search *for*?)
Has anyone told Survivor that? :)
Coffee, tea or me.... : )
They do! If they are married to a poet.
My observances:
1) There is no such thing as "bed-hair" in Hollywood movies. Everyone wakes up with a perfect hairdo, no drool, no groggy eyes, no stumbling/being off-balance. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, the whole lot of 'em, no matter what time of night they are awoken! Amazing!
2) When being chased, the chasee must always turn several times to see how close the chaser is to them, as opposed to just running in a straight line as fast as he/she can.
3) When being chased at home, the chasee will always run UPstairs, instead of out the first floor door/window.
4) You can blow up a car by shooting a single bullet through it's gas tank. (De-bunked on Mythbusters).
5) The Hero can drive any sort of vehicle known to man with no lessons needed; be it a tank, plane, motorcycle, jeep, or helicopter.
6) All vehicles will have ample amounts of gas in the tank, until the vehicle turns down a dark country road.
7) Hesitating car engines can be started easier by whacking the dashboard and shouting, "Come on, you! START!"
8) Same theory applies to phones when calling someone. Saying "Come on, come on, PICK UP THE PHONE!", when it's ringing, as if the person can hear you.
This is FUN!
Well, of course that would get it! :)
And I my mind and plans for day compose,
When to my sight an amber-petalled rose,
Has caused all time to stand still in its place,
Until I have completed worship of your face.
Oh, my! And you wrote this Saturday - it sure fits!
Well, you sure *done good* with your observances! Those are all great, and every night at the movies or on TV, we're going to see at least one or two of them!
Don't stop now - bet you could find some pics for some. :)
Also, when being chased down a road by a car, our hero/heroin, on foot, always runs in a straight line. Leaving the road would violate the rules.
Of course - we must remain easy to chase, after all. :)

Hi, Princess Lucy - you sure look sweet sleeping on that pillow. Hope there's no pea under it - wouldn't want you all bruised. :)
"A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds."
Well, that happens in real life, too ... for a very good good reason ... )
=====================================================
How Harrison Ford could be up to his eyebrows in venemous snakes
and not get 'rattled?!'
How Tarzan swung on countless jungle vines and they always
were strong and sturdy - never breaking with his weight -
and never dropped Jane?
How one could be draped over and tied to railroad tracks and inevitably be rescued?!

Only in the movies..:))
Thanks, Dolly! *You* would know how much work - but FUN work - it is to edit photos. Some of these didn't require much more than cropping and adding that 'film'/frame, but the two animations (the doggie/turn-out-the-lights and the twin babies) did seem almost a necessity to tell those particular *stories*. :)
Actually, this corduroy border is a different color than the brown one used before that you saw as charcoal grey. This one is dark navy - is that what you see? The parchment is kind of sandy colored, and one gradient is a rust/coppery gold; the other is a navy gradient. Bordering the parchment center is a sort of washed-denim color. The film frames are brown, but have more of a reddish tint than the brown used on that other corduroy looking border. Curious to know if that's more or less what you're seeing. :)
All, in fact, is so nice I almost overlooked the outstanding pledge.
:)
I had seen this list before (movie fan that I am, Folks always make sure I get movie, dog & cats humor) but how much nicer set off with your excellent graphics.
Thanks for the great presentation Billie. Your threads are always such a joy to open. (and NOW THEY OPEN FAST!)
I'm SO glad you have a fast computer and fast connection now! My connection is still not that great, but at least it's so much faster than before because it's just a bigger machine!
Know that YOU will think of many tired-but-true movie scenarios to add!
To illustrate your point:
But, if you have some ammo left, why not use it -- just to be sure, that is?
Oh, thank you, Mrs. N! Appreciate you and your beautiful table posts! That one looks so pretty and feminine. :)
Thank you for adding my son to the prayer list. His unit is in training right now; they leave in about three weeks.
The movie discussion is appropriate - he tells me one of the best things we can send to him for the soldiers in his unit to share is DVD's - apparently the little DVD players are pretty common, & they love the movies.
