    He was in another movie made near that time in which he plays an absolutely despicable character in "Rob Roy." You might like that one, buddy.

    I own it....I'm going to watch the Legend of 1900 again...Lawrence Fishburne was great as Jellyroll Morton..Tim plays the genius pianist who was born on the ship and never left it his entire life...great, great film. He makes movies better if they cast him.

    I'd love to see a movie about Laurel and Hardy with Roth cast as Stan Laurel and Oliver Platt as Hardy

    I once went to get a haircut in a conservative looking barber shop. Now, I'm somewhat conservative in my appearance, clean shaven, short hair, conservative clothing so I figured I was safe. My barber was an older gentleman from Sweden. Again I figured I had struck the jackpot and would get a haircut from out of the 50s so I let him do his thing after a very brief description from me on what I wanted. I sat back and relaxed chatting with him and others as I always do. When he was done I was a little sorry to leave my conversation as always happens with me. He turned me around to look in the mirror and I gasped audibly loud. He had given me a spiked do that looked like some kind in high school trying to show off at a rock concert and a wild rock concert at that. OMG, I said and made him to it over. This time it came out right. That was the experience of my life in a barber shop and I still tell people about it every once in a while to this day some odd 40 years later.

    I did, back when I was young and skinny and uninhibited enough to prance around nude! Now I would be the creepy old man. :)

    No, but I often took a noon walk on Scripps beach when I worked there, maybe 76.

    We never had a problem with the police and parking tickets.
    The the thing that bothered me was all the people sitting up on the cliff with binoculars when all they had to do was hike down the cliff and disrobe and enjoy the sights. Something creepy about guys with binoculars.

    Orange County was so different when I grew up there. We built forts in the organge groves across the street. Now it’s a mall. It’s all a mall.

    That’s one reason I moved to Portland. More of the kind of childhood I had for my kids. And the people here rock. :)

    Somebody's not happy at all.

    Roman Polanski's wife angry Quentin Tarantino didn't consult him for new movie
    By Bruce Haring | Deadline

    Roman Polanski’s wife criticized writer/director Quentin Tarantino on Friday for not consulting with her husband on his new film, which features the tragic story of the murder of Polanski’s ex-wife, Sharon Tate.

    Tarantino’s "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" just debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews. But Emmanuelle Seigner, Polanski’s wife, said in a French language post on Instagram that Tarantino was “using the tragic life of someone and then walking all over them” to tell a story.

    Tate was murdered by members of the Manson family in 1969. Seigner said Tarantino should have spoken with Polanski about the film’s treatment of that event.

    “I am just saying that it doesn’t bother them (in Hollywood) to make a film which takes Roman and his tragic story… while at the same time they have made him a pariah. And all without consulting him of course,” she wrote.

    Polanski has been in exile from Hollywood since 1978, when he admitted to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl. He rarely speaks to the media, but his wife has taken up his causes via social media on several occasions.

    Polanski is represented in the Tarantino film, but is only a minor character. Actress Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate, and said, “Quentin said it to me early on — she’s the heartbeat of the story. I just saw her as a ray of light,” Robbie said.

    That's not what Roman Polanski's wife should be unhappy about...his rape of an underaged girl might be a bit more important

    Man, I loved the part of the trip through Orange county, traveling to San Diego from Oregon. The part from LA to San Diego was by local bus through Orange county with about 10 or 12 stops. Fresh squeeze Orange Juice at every stop! You can't imagine what that was like for a kid from Oregon before foods were shipped all over the country.
