Re: Public favorites?

I was actually complimenting you with the statement about Poe. So, you think I have a presidential look and stature about me, eh...

Re: Public favorites?

No offense to you Gogant, but I think I would be a little worried if you were President...

Re: Public favorites?

No offense...hhhummph. mad
I don't know if I would make a good president either, so you needn't worry, my dear. downer
I'll bet Obama watched the Country Music awards last night, and I'll bet you were stretched out on the floor with your stereo blasting out the music of Murphy's Munchable Monster Metalico Band.


cool grin

Re: Public favorites?

I did a little research on Poe, and it's quite dismal. He was not very attractive, and not very ugly. ( so we have more in commmon than I care to admit) blank stare

Re: Public favorites?

Oh please, I would be bored unto death watching that show.
And I'm not sure who 'Murphy's Munchable Monster Metalico Band' is...
Maybe some good classic rock.
Hey Marsink, beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?

There was something in yesterday's paper about him. Seems he died alone and destitute. I'm sure you can't compare with that. I thought Poe was fairly good-looking...he had a staunch look about him...

Re: Public favorites?

Well, Caity, if you feel that way about country music...I guess I will have to put my guitar away, and sell my horse.

Re: Public favorites?

Aw, don't do that on my account. I am just one person, I'm sure there are tons of people around that love the country scene.
(I love Poe's work!)

Re: Public favorites?

Too late, Caity, I sold my horse and moved to California. Since you love Poe, I put his photo on my home page... tongue rolleye

Here's a line;

"...mountains of the moon..."

What's it ?

cool cheese........................................gogant

Re: Public favorites?

Well, at least the weather is nice in Cali.
I don't know what that line is G.
It's awful short...And my brain is fried today... blank stare

Actually it's warm wherever I hang my hat...cool grin
I had to make the line as short as possible because you'd a guessed it adroitly.

Eldorado, by Poe

11-14-2009 at 06:28:08 PM

Re: Public favorites?

Oh! Dude, I was totally watching that movie last night!
(the John Wayne and Dean Martin western movie in case you don't know)
I should have known!
Eldorado is one of my favorites of Poe.
And you are right, I would have guessed.

Re: Public favorites?

Oh yeah...I saw that movie...I think the guy quoting the poem was James Cann. That is when I decided that it was my 2nd best Edgar Allen Poe poem.
I can't remember the name of the movie, though. So, please tell me it wasn't Eldorado...

surprised

Re: Public favorites?

It was...

Re: Public favorites?

You could have been a little more gentle...

big surprise..........................................................gogant

Re: Public favorites?

Ummm, I was trying?

11-15-2009 at 09:59:11 PM

Re: Public favorites?

Thanks for trying. If I'm thinking of the right movie (Eldorado) the scene I like best is when Robert Mitchum whacks the bad guy on the nose with his Winchester rifle...I felt the pain........

Re: Public favorites?

Lol. That was good.
But my favorite scene is where Walter Brennen almost shoots Dean Martin because he didn't call out before walking up to the door of the jailhouse. But his brand new hat got shot full of holes.
Walkter Brennen was hilarious the entire way through.

Re: Public favorites?

It's good you like the lighter side of the movie...me, I like the more rugged, knock 'em down, stuff...

cool cheese

11-16-2009 at 06:49:32 PM

Re: Public favorites?

I just can't get over Dean Martin. I love that guy.
I do like the rough and tumble parts too. Especially when John Wayne kicks the crap out of somebody.

Yeah, Dean is a looker, for sure. And big John was good at knocking bad guys around. Now, the two I like are, Clint Eastwood (The good the bad and the ugly), and Charles Bronson (Hard Times). Bronson played a street fighter in that one.

Re: Public favorites?

Seeing as my education in the 'classics' (as my mother calls them) is still continuing, I'm still not that familiar with clint eastwood.
Isn't he the squinty guy that always had a cigar?
And I don't know who Charles Bronson is...

11-17-2009 at 12:52:06 AM

Re: Public favorites?

You got Clint right...but, I think you're pulling my leg. He won I don't know how many Oscars, for acting and directing. Charles Bronson has those squinting eyes too. I guess he was best known for his roll in, Death Wish...and I think you're still pulling my leg......now, let go of my doggone leg, Caity...........

Re: Public favorites?

Hey Caity, the poem for you is titled, Katy O' Grady...........I had to use a photo from the gallery of fine arts, since I couldn't get one of you...I hope there is a likeness...

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
