People you know who are in a film

Oh, one more! When they were filming the Mel Gibson film Mrs. Soffel in downtown Pittsburgh, at the old prison down there, they needed a snow scene, but it was the middle of May. I remember driving past the closed-off street where they were filming, windows down and the sky sunny, but looking left and seeing tons of fake snow tumbling out of the sky from these huge machines positioned over the prison. Cool! (But not literally!)

" Mighty big names you are throwing around " ??????
" Drama queen" ?????The only queen I see is you. Now go run along and play with your Starwars chum and change that silly cosume you are wearing. It's laughable.

Wow, chill out. Firstly, I don't know if you see the irony (and contradiction) in ranting about how I "have no clue" who you are, and then proceeding to draw far more conclusions about me than I drew about you. Practice what you preach, and I'll be more inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Secondly, do you have any idea how many people lie on the Internet? Answer: a whole lot. It's all too easy. It's entirely possible that everything you said is true, but, all other things being equal, it isn't likely, so I expressed skepticism. I'm not going to apologize for knowing better than to simply believe every wild claim I hear on the web. Maybe you're telling the truth, and maybe you're not. Most people on the Internet who say these sorts of things are not.

Now, had I spoken to you more harshly, I'd understand this sort of reaction, but you should expect skepticism in this medium when you toss things out like that. If your first reaction is to blow your top (and become guilty of the same things you're complaining about), I daresay you'll need thicker skin to enjoy yourself here.

I don't know about you, but in my world when you try to make a liar out of someone, even if it might be over an insignificant matter, that's harsh enough to warrant action and response. If you feel thretened by my knowledge or associations you still don't need to impune my character unless you don't care about making enemies.

It seems you do care or you wouldn't be so upset

Why are you so angry if you stay around you will learn something even if it is, how to control your temper

I'm angry because I thought this is a movie forum and not some juvenile chat room.
I didn't make some outrageos claim and am offended that someone would go out of their way to cast doubt on a personal simple fact that I stated, therby impuning my character.
It appeared to be a personal attack and I questioned the motives and responded accordingly. I have not yet received an apology.

I'm not going to impugn your character. Do you realize that this is a forum for people who enjoy movies from totally different perspectives? Sure, there are some youngsters here, but there are several people who are among the most-informed I've ever found anywhere. We want to welcome you here, but it has been difficult. No, you don't have to provide any credentials to participate, but we are somewhat circumspect when your posts seem hastily presented and not proofread. But ignore that for now; it's no biggie.

I have a personal question. What are your five favorite movies pre-1960? I realize that it's not that important, but I figured that you must have some, and I wasn't sure that I'd seen them elsewhere. I'm asking because I'm truly interested and want to discuss them with you.

P.S. We're on your side because we're on the side of honest sharing of the love of movies.

The only one being juvenile is you. Grow up or go spread your infantile blathering elsewhere. Or better yet, stay. I'm enjoying laughing at your ridiculous claims.

My son's friend Zach, has a dad that's a producer I think. His name is Ty Warren. He's done Rat Race and Transformers. His son and my son have a part as extras looking out a window as a tank went by. We haven't seen the movie yet to see if they're still in it, or on the cutting room floor.

I think I was an extra in Jaws 2, but cannot be sure. I was also in a commercial for a local Waterslide in the late 70's on Pensacola Beach, FL.. I was a fill-in bodyguard for Barbara Eden once, and by God I met Bill Clinton AND George Bush Sr. Met a few others, but nothing they would remember. Roy Jones Jr. and Emmit Smith and Rick Flair have been in my store here in Pensacola. I do remember Roy asking if I carried goat milk, I had no clue where he was going with that - I run a computer repair shop? Oh well was fun NTL.

I have two close friends who are in the TV version of "East of Eden". They're in the basketball gym scene. Both times you see them, they're pretty much blatantly obvious, but they have this kinda "glassy-eyed, why-am-I-here?" look which certainly doesn't convey the book's period. Even so, they are recorded for posterity.

Here, I'm going to enjoy making an idiot out of you. How about I just attach my old SAG working resume. You will notice that extra work is not even included as it is not considered sufficiently relevant.

I do not think anyone cares about your 'Sag" credentials be it true or not. An ******* is an *******.. All I got ta say.

Well, here's looking at you!

...and in my world, expressing skepticism is different from making a liar out of someone. Go read my post again: I asked a couple rhetorical questions, and then said: "I'm sure you can understand my skepticism." It was a good deal more tempered and measured than your response (and each response since).

What could I possibly find threatening by the idea that you may know Robert Duvall? To the contrary, as the owner of a movie forum I'd very much like to believe that one of my posters knows an actor of his stature. I've just learned to have a healthy amount of skepticism about these sorts of claims.

So, people doubt the claim from an anonymous poster that they're friends with a movie star, and it's suddenly a "juvenile chat room"? That's quite a leap.

Nor will you; I'm not going to apologize for simply being skeptical of your claim. You did not respond "accordingly." You responded by doing the very thing you were upset about several times over, and with much harsher language. And then you did the same thing to anyone who suggested you were overreacting.

Congratulations: you have a scanner. I'm not sure what a scanned piece of paper is supposed to prove. Nevertheless, you've missed the entire point, which is not about whether or not what you say is true, but whether or not it's reasonable of people to doubt it.

The bottom line is this: If you can't concede the obvious point that that it's healthy to be skeptical of claims by anonymous people on internet message boards, then there's really no point in continuing this discussion. Ditto if you're going to keep referring to my post as if it were some sort of character assassination, rather than the tremendously low-key skepticism that it was.

I hate to mention this right now, but I'm Don Drysdale's son.

I enjoy all those films, immensely. I wonder what your fave parts about each one are?
