I thought it was in Angeles City, Philippines. She's right next to the elevator looking at me and my guest as we're waiting. To be honest, the Mona Lisa doesn't impress me much. Maybe because it's a copy and not DaVinci. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pdoggg Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Who wrote Crazy? The best known version is Patsy Cline's. It'd be interesting to here the karaoke version sung by a hung ladyboy in Thai. With feeling after too many Sang Soms. Ting Tong Quote Link to comment

Pdoggg Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'll guess North by Northwest. Maybe there was a toilet on the train? Quote Link to comment
cobber32 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I know the answer, but I cannot play because SP and I have talked about it before. 1 Quote Link to comment
stoolpusher Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 And the answer is ....... " Psycho " There was a early 1920's movie but Psycho ( 1960 ) was the first movie with a toilet flushed scene , it was nearly banned by the censers and from then on its just a normal scene now in a movie . Thank you Alfred Hitchcock . All I want to know now is where do the bad guys in the 1930's / 40's movies get those 20 shot 6 shooters, they never had to load them . I am a big fan of the old B&W movies. 2 Quote Link to comment
stoolpusher Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here is a Sunday morning teaser ... What Private Dick series/movie remakes has ever been made . Some very well known actors have played the part . Not Sam Spade . 1 Quote Link to comment
