Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Susan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:18:07 08/23/07 Thu In reply to: Elizabeth 's message, "Favorite Feature" on 22:10:01 08/20/07 Mon Sexual content?? Huh? Was that the hair-pulling thing or what? (Or cuz I said the word "k*nky"?) Weird. Then again, it could have been one of those ads up top or something; they change regularly, so that'd explain why it wouldn't let you in one moment and then let you in the next. Oh, yes, please do post what you find. Thanks! Speaking of that whistle, did you notice Emlyn does almost the exact same thing in "Hatter's Castle"? And another thing ... how could I forget (I'm sorry, but Emlyn Williams really fogs up the screen for me in JI!) ... speaking of curly hair, that's another of my favorite RN features, even though you so rarely get to see it in its natural state. (The only examples I can think of off-hand now are "Odd Man Out" and "Henry V.") It's too bad men practically glued their hair down back then. My sister, the old-movie buff, told me that, in the style of that day, if a man had curly hair, it signified he was gay, kind of like which ear you wear your earring in does today ... that's why Peter Lorre had curly hair in "The Maltese Falcon." Back then, she said, that was a subtle but dead giveaway to audiences about the character. (And I'm told he was more explicitly gay in the book.)

[> Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Elizabeth [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:30:13 08/23/07 Thu Yea, Emlyn is cute in JI, he looks like he outgrew his clothes in between fittings but other than that, he's cute. I've never seen Hatter's Castle. Yes, I love his hair, it's soo pretty. I think I like it so much becuase my hair won't hold curls unless I break down and start crying at my curling iron, but it still won't work! I've always wanted curly hair and I've always liked his hair, I used to swoon over it in Treasure Island, I don't know why. I think my favorite of his roles are in Odd Man Out and Baker of Barnbury. To me, in Odd Man Out he seems more human, like I'm an artist and I can relate to his character. Like I'm always begging people to sit there and let me draw them and when something doesn't turn out how I wanted I get really bummed, like he did when they took Johnny away before his painting was finished. That's kinda weird about curly hair back then, it's not his fault he was born with such flawless features! I think people where jus jealous. =~) I still don't know why the computers at my school are so touchy, I have no clue. Actually I don't even know what "k*nky" means, please explain. Don't worry, i'm sure I've heard worse, mostly from my "fellow students" So yeah tell me what it means so I won't be clueless anymore. another thing I noticed is at the very begining of Baker of Barnbury he speaks in his normal Brit accent, but at the end of what he says he, all of a sudden, changed from Brit mode to Long John Silver mode. Listen to it, it''s soo cool how he can go from one to another in a matter of seconds! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Favorite Feature Author: Sue G. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:24:06 08/23/07 Thu I'm not entirely sure if his hair was 'curly' or just had a tendency to 'fluf up' a bit. I think that they styled his hair that way in 'Odd Man Out' to make it look wild. And I also think that his hair was styled differently in 'Hatter's Castle' too. I actually liked his hair in that film (with the grey) I think because it was full and he had sideburns. I found it kind of 'sexy' (oophs! maybe I shouldn't use that word). I know that he had too much other makeup on in that film to look completely natural but I did like the hair. But it was probably most natural in 'Baker of Barnbury'. Wasn't he sweet in that film? One of my favorites (but I do wish someone would restore it..it's a bit blurry). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
