Sun 11/1/2009 2:31p | Though the convention wisdom has 1939 as "Hollywood's Greatest Year," I prefer 1940. The Grapes of Wrath is better than any of the 1939 offerings IMO, the Best Picture winner that year, Rebecca, is better than the somewhat overrated Gone With the Wind, and Disney fans will know that Pinocchio (greatest animated film ever) and Fantasia both came out that year. Plus any number of other fine films that stack up well with 1939 (which DID have a lot of great ones too, no question). |

Mon 11/2/2009 9:45a | ORWEN: My vote goes to THE WIZARD OF OZ. And I think Pinocchio and Fantasia actually came out in 1940, Dabob2, duckling. |

Mon 11/2/2009 11:46a | Orwen, I think you may have misread what Dabob said... I believe he was indeed telling us that those two fine Disney films are products of 1940. :)
Btw - to all 3 witches - hope you had a lovely Halloween! :D |

Tue 11/3/2009 4:34p | ORWEN: Well, that's what happens when you're trying to read something through a smudged up crystal ball that's covered with the dirty finger prints of a certain, nasty old biddy who never bothers to clean up after herself while eating a plate full of nasty frog legs!! You don't know what it's like having to live with such a filthy little sister like mine!! Always touching things with those greasy, claw like things she calls hands!!
ORGOCH: Oh, big, fat sister, just hold on a minute!! Be sure ya don't leave out the part 'bout how YER always touchin' the ol' crystal ball with yer OWN grubby, sticky hands after ya been stuffin' yer gut with one dang donut after the other!!! If ya couldn't see what Dabob2 was tryin' ta tell ya in the crystal ball it's yer OWN dang fault! Don't go blamin' somebody else fer yer own dirty fingers. Heck!! The whole dang cottage has yer grimey touches all over!! Not even Cindersmelly could keep up with the likes a yerself after one day's worth a dirty finger prints from yerself!
ORDDU: Thank you for your Halloween wishes, Labuda, duckling.
ORWEN: And thank you for pointing out my mistake, Labuda. Of course, if the truth be told, it was really Orgoch's doing that I mis-read Dabob2's posting. She can try to blame me all she wants but it won't do her any good--not as long as I continue sitting on her the way I'm doing now.... |
