Cagney's last film for many years, where Horst's very intense acting style is used to hilarious effect. Most people in the States know him from The Magnificent Seven, I'm sure, but he did some other good films, most of which are not easily available. The DVD powers that be don't seem to be aware that Horst has that precious thing, a Cult Following.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-18804393515578909942012-07-22T15:57:12.880-05:002012-07-22T15:57:12.880-05:00Had so many typos on that previous comment, decide...Had so many typos on that previous comment, decided to delete and start over! Careful this time!<br /><br />The only porno search term I can recall seeing on my blog was something like "gay sex orgy." I'm sure that was because of my blog piece on Alice Campbell's Desire to Kill, which was called "An Orgy of Death." And, to be sure, in it I did mention sex and gays!<br /><br />I don't check these as often as I should I guess.

A pretty long marriage by Hollywood standards.<br /><br />John, I went to a friend's house for a girls' night out party last night. I counted 15 variations on the fleur-de-lis decorating her walls and of the ten women present, six were either wearing clothes with fleur-de-lis emblems or fleur-de-lis jewelry. One woman even had a fleur-de-lis tattoo on her shoulder. Like I said, it's like a fetish object here in Louisiana.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-28977794185990246552012-07-22T03:38:30.373-05:002012-07-22T03:38:30.373-05:00John, my earliest memories of Caulfied and Buchhol...John, my earliest memories of Caulfied and Buchholz are GREASE 2 and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN respectively.

He married Juliet Mills form "Nanny and the Professor" (a US TV show back in the 70s) and caused quite a stir. He was almost like a Brad Pitt of the early 80s but with a much shorter life as a sex symbol than Pitt. Horst Bucholz (a much better actor then Caulfield and far sexier, I think) is a really intriguing actor. Positively smoldering at times, and can be very funny in the right role. I still remember him in TIGER BAY with a very young Hayley Mills.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-46319963449070880482012-07-21T16:21:49.284-05:002012-07-21T16:21:49.284-05:00If I were ever to get a tattoo it would either be ...If I were ever to get a tattoo it would either be a lightning bolt or a fleur de lis.

I see plenty of guys with fleur- de- lis tattoos, especially in black and gold (the Saints' team colors) and green, gold, and purple (Mardi Gras colors). I don't think these guys are, for the most part, expressing the same message as the protagonist of your story-- but who knows?

The most hits I get are from people searching for "Scream 4" followed by a search for "At the Scene of the Crime". And then, for reasons I simply cannot fathom, the third highest search is "4 out of 5 stars".Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
