Greetings...

I hope I am one of the main characters... Anyway, Seriously, this was a marvelous film.... This finished it for me....

"Years ago, my mother say to me, she'd say... In this world, Elwood, she always used to call me Elwood, In this world Elwood, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.. For years I was smart, I recommend pleasant... You can quote me...." - Elwood.
 
oh alex you are elwood p dowd. ( did I get that right?) its been a long time since I watched it. Sometimes I feel more like his older sister ( the hytserical one). gotta love that movie. I love how he invites everyone for tea. Wouldnt the world be a better place if we did that
 
Its ok, alex, I own the movie I just havent pulled it out in a while and watched it. I feel the need though, very soon. And to me , you are a lot like him, boyish, friendly, charming witty, (all this with a johnny depp, jacksparrow wit) lol. I just dont know about the innocence, though. LOLOLOLOL.
 
I'm going to be late for work, oh my... Well best stroll on and have a shower. Greymare, Sister.... Thank you. Thank you for such a funny, yet honest and truthful film (It's just a comedy!) yes a very good one but, it is more than that... ;)
 
Writing about Harvey in my blog for today, thought I'd share it with you grey! :D


Morning, Love and Peace to all… 9:10am… I wonder what today has lined up for me. Watched a film last night! Harvey! Made in the 1950’s directed by Henry Koster, about a man named Elwood P Dowd.. Played by James Stewart. He is a calm, friendly, Loving mild-mannered man who believes he can see a six-foot rabbit… Sorry no, a Six foot three and a half inch tall white rabbit. Elwood asked the rabbit his name, the rabbit replied, “what is your favourite name?” To this Elwood said “Harvey” Which was answered “What a coincidence, Harvey is my name!” Haha Awesome! Anyway… Harvey is a Phooka… This actually originated down here where I live by the Celtic traditions and myths and culture. It is a myriad of fairy…. In animal form, and always… Large.

There was one in Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer nights dream.” The satyr named Puck! Funny creature, the Phooka is a good being that is said to offer advice and protect from trouble and danger, however it also likes to create its own fair share of trouble and other funny tricks. There is a saying “You can always trust a Phooka, but no one in their right mind would ever believe one…” Luckily, in this case Elwood P Dowd does… Oh and what good it did! I find this film amazingly strong in its message it seriously was marvellous! Yet an old comedy, I thought it would be funny as I am a big fan of Laurel and Hardy, but such a powerful message? That I did not expect, I really enjoyed this film and thank my sister so much for sharing it! Anyway, worth a watch FOR REALS! A film of comedy romance, if you know what I am trying to say. That era of film where I think wow.. Glamorous is this. I leave you with one of his amazing quotes:

“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.” – Elwood P Dowd.
 
I -knew- I wasn't seeing things! Not sure on the "stance" of adverts but I have now seen it on here and on the thread "I submit this to the board!"

Forgive me Alex but am I the only one that feels as though they are watching someone laughing like a maniac while ripping their clothes off and running headlong toward a cliff edge?

I am having visions of Reginald Perry and it's worrying me.

Naw, he feels that way too!

Shouldn't we all?
 
Well as long as you are able to let me know then I shall be happy, I don't want to find your clothes on a beach and be left wondering if you have gone for a long swim.

Oops that should have been Reginald Perin, not Perry ... silly me

Haha, don't worry about that!! Alex will be fine and happy! I did that years ago--the ripping off of the clothes and all--and I turned out okay. Right? Look at me! I'm a paragon of well-adjustedness!!

Sure, it was embarassing for a while there--being naked while tripping always is, in hindsight--but...

oop.

I've said too much.

:eek:

Carry on...
