[VGNonly]

129. "When the legend becomes fact,

print the legend."

[Brother Buzz]

131. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Shooting the film in Black and White for budget constraints only made the film stronger. John Ford was a genius.

[VGNonly]

134. The star power in that film!

John Wayne
James Stewart
Lee Marvin
Vera Miles
John Carradine
Lee Van Cleef
Andy Devine
Woody Strode
Strother Martin

142. I took two years of German in HS.

After 50+ years all that I remember are a few words and phrases, can count to ten and some swear words.

[Harker]

143. I also took two years in high school...

the first with Inge Sargent, Austrian former Burmese princess. Very interesting woman. My second year teacher was a dead ringer for the magician on the "Agents of Fortune" record sleeve. I brought my copy in one day, and everyone saw the resemblance but him.

My in-laws are German citizens, born in Germany in the 30s, green card holders since the late 50s.

I'm less accomplished than I ought to be, but I get by.

Swear words are a good thing to know.

[VGNonly]

144. My maternal Grandparents came over in 1923.

My grandpa was from coastal Germany near the Dutch border. He could speak both German and Frisian. My fraternal people were from Switzerland/Germany in the early 1830s. I have a smattering of English/Scottish, but I'm about 95% Germanic.

[Harker]

154. My mother's ancestors swarmed Chicago in the first half of the 19th C.

Paternal side from Ireland more recently, and with little documentation.

[VGNonly]

169. I didn't know of Inge Sargent.

I checked out her bio, what an intriguing story, thank you so much.

[Harker]

171. Sure thing. She really led a full life.

[VGNonly]

172. Her second husband was also noteworthy.

Navy Lt. Commander, MS electrical engineer, wintered in the Antarctic, worked with NASA on Apollo missions and Skylab.

[Harker]

173. Howard used to pick up his newspapers and magazines at the news & smoke shop where I worked.

Pretty quiet, and an all around nice guy.

Between the Universities and the plethora of scientific labs, governmental agencies, etc. Boulder was packed with a lot of smart, creative people. I was very fortunate to be friendly with many, and friends with some.

[VGNonly]

148. Some great work!

The Manchurian Candidate, Birdman of Alcatraz and Seven Days in May.

My favorite director is Billy Wilder.

[Harker]

151. Looking at Billy Wilder's filmography, I was surprised that I've seen less than half of his work.

Time to get cracking with interlibrary loans!

[VGNonly]

161. Some of his less known works but great films

were The Fortune Cookie with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, their first pairing. Another was One, Two, Three with James Cagney, an absolute madcap comedy.

[Harker]

162. Count me in, VGNonly. Thanks.

I keep meaning to see the entire thing.

[VGNonly]

201. I seem to remember a big M.

There's a rumor that Captain America (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) were based on Roger Mcguinn and David Crosby respectively.

[Brother Buzz]

203. Yes, University of Michigan

But I can’t visualize George participating in football.



Dennis Hopper totally nailed David Crosby, but the jury is is still out on the Fonda/Mcguinn connection.

Taggart: "I'd say you've had enough!"

[Mad_Dem_X]

194. Not the film I was thinking of, sorry...good guess, tho!

[Harker]

195. When I hear "beans", I automatically think of it.

[Mad_Dem_X]

197. I get it...I was thinking of a dramatic film, something more recent.

[Harker]

221. No Country for Old Men.

Never heard "friendo" elsewhere.

[JoseBalow]

223. You got it!

I agree, "friendo" is pretty distinct to this film. I figured that'd be the clue that gives it away.

I've used "friendo" a few times in the wild, I like it!

[Harker]

224. I might like it better with a hyphen. Friend-O.

Like Jell-O.

When you've used it, were you aiming for Bardem level menace?

[JoseBalow]

225. Definitely used it with similar sarcasm

Not menacing, but the people I've used it with were not my amig-o.
