You sure ...mythopolis~ Thanks; I will come read it. You sure do have a lot of interesting blogs! <br /><br />Dee Newman~ Oh, absolutely, last last line you mentioned! Thank you for adding these great lines from <em>Harvey</em>. You are right...nearly every line in the film is a gem, making the movie priceless. :)<br /><br />Pixies~ I really must see Donnie Darko! The name keeps popping up in my view all over the place. <br />I admire Jimmy Stewart's acting and would have a difficult time selecting my favorite among his films.<br /><br />Stickup Artist~ Your recent viewing sounds fantastic to me. I love film noir and the old B&W films. They are hard to beat. When we recently upgraded our cable I was hoping that the AMC channel would have more of them than I have noticed thus far. We may just have to get netflix too.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-49919257607618080262011-02-05T10:19:12.194-08:002011-02-05T10:19:12.194-08:00I just recently began watching black and white mov...I just recently began watching black and white movie classics and film noir on Netflix and have added this one to my queue. It is a great way to study black and white photography and the mood and drama that it can impart to a scene.

Well, for years I was smart... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." – Elwood<br /><br />And last but certainly not least:<br /><br />"Fly specks, fly specks! I've been spending my life among fly specks while miracles have been leaning on lampposts at 18th and Fairfax!" – Dr ChumleyDee Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610598460257919321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-18935717645593507022011-02-05T04:37:44.238-08:002011-02-05T04:37:44.238-08:00Hey Lydia, thanks for your recent comment on my si...Hey Lydia, thanks for your recent comment on my site.

It looks like my grandmother's old typewriter, an item I prize.<br /><br />Fireblossom~ Exactly. How could you not? <em>Harvey</em> is the movie we could have watched together on our imaginary movie day when we were both sick! That would have been ideal. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-22669514157766981862011-02-04T16:28:52.091-08:002011-02-04T16:28:52.091-08:00My father loved "Harvey."

The Harvey costume should be in <em>The Smithsonian</em>!<br /><br />Darlene~ That is the right attitude.... but if you really really really wanted to see it you could watch it with closed caps. You got the gist of it with the photo and some quotes. :)<br /><br />susan~ I love the quote you remembered! You love the movie like I do so would undoubtedly agree that basically the entire film is quotable. <br />I really need to see this flick soon now. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-16527861149552091992011-02-03T18:21:31.171-08:002011-02-03T18:21:31.171-08:00Most definitely one of my all time favorite movies...Most definitely one of my all time favorite movies and not just when I was little either - but one I haven't seen for years now. <br /><br />How about one more good one: <br /><br />'You see, science has overcome time and space.

One postcard, that you blogged about two years ago in february, was finnish and you couldn't translate it (about your grandmother). It says something like this: Greetings from your homeland, we are all well. Best of luck as the winter comes, wishes your father J.Laitamäki.<br />It is sent from Kauhava, Finland.<br />I hope you find this usefull,<br />Anne From Finland =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-38315620642277551002011-02-03T05:46:20.957-08:002011-02-03T05:46:20.957-08:00Thanks for the memory, that was too funny!
