Per Leonard Maltin's MOVIE AND VIDEO GUIDE: "Flashy but empty-headed movie designed as a showcase for star whose screen charisma is nil. 1 1/2 Stars."

Let's discuss.

off-topic for a moment..

M_E - Boobs made me put on a Halloween costume. So, I went with one of my all-time favorite movies

I also admire Newton-John's "work" in GREASE. She played an Australian but she's BRITISH--what a "stretch" for her! :)

[Marquise]

Posted: 10/24/04 at 6:05pm

umm no Mary_Ethel. anyone who is ANYONE knows that ON-J is Australian. She was born in Australia and moved to England at an early age. She's AUSTRALIAN.

:: throws an ON-J bio in M_E's direction ::

Are you implying I have a large brain? THANK You! :)

Marquise,

Per the Internet Movie Database, Newton-John WAS born in Great Britain.

Please see:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0000556/


UNLIKE others (no names please!), I THOROUGHLY CHECK ALL MY FACTS PRIOR TO POSTING.

i stand corrected, she was born in England. one of my better characteristics is to admit when i'm wrong. another one of my better characteristics is to know better not to KNOCK what other people like.

...Oh...so THAT'S why you said Vivien Leigh was a nymphomaniac! It all makes PERFECT SENSE now.

BTW, your comment about Mary Martin and Ethel Merman wasn't exactly a "friendly" one either.

[Marquise]

Posted: 10/24/04 at 6:20pm

okay, whatver...life's way too short for all this back and forth. i have better things to do with my time. let's just agree to disagree and move on. i'm not in the mood to "entertain" anyone today.

i'm off this thread. have fun. Updated On: 10/24/04 at 06:20 PM

Okay.

:: Shakes Hands ::

You're a good man, Marquise, and I REALLY mean that.


I'm glad you're here with all of us at BWW.


Best Regards,

M.E.
