Dee -- yeah, it was excellent IMHO. On one level it's hardly dated at all, but it has a London that no longer exists.

And Caine is great as the heartless womanizing Alfie. Shelly Winters good too in a cameo. Forget Jude Law.

Proud member of the all-powerful and vast militarist/industrialist/capitalist/zionist-bagelist complex

I checked, and it WAS Cher singing at the end of the movie.  That was in 1965, so she was only about 19 years old at the time.  Cool trivia, thanks!

The Bodie Specter - "I'd rather be hit with Dick Cheney's shot than with Bill Clinton's wad"

balboa, I get it, you're a lib, and since TN isn't , he's a kook to you, and no, you don't like him, but it's convenient for you to say so now. I suppose the black eyed peas are very sad you said it, and golly they can really revv up a crowd, unlike Ted, right, you sad sick little liar. 

Okay, BT.

Way to go on your teams!  Congrats.

I shall replenish the little Gator Guy's batteries.  He'll hate dancing for Peyton Manning (well...maybe not...Peyton never beat the Gators, it'll be a revenge dance)....and of course, Rex Grossman is a Gator.  But dance for your Colts my little Gator Guy shall do.

Sometimes the little things can make life so sweet!

Best of luck to your team.

I have never seen Ted with a full beard.

Bal... do you even know who we are talking about?

Wish I'd been here when this was an active thread....

"I think he's a kook because he only eats what he kills. That's odd to me, in this day and age. I mean, I assume he's seen a grocery store before."

Sure he's seen a grocery store. But what about all the hue and cry over "additives," and "hormones," and all that other stuff the Left is boycotting, warning us about, and panicking over? Ted prefers to avoid the whole question, eating only game he's harvested himself. He has that opportunity, more power to him. Doesn't make him a "kook." It makes him "self-sufficient."

"He's also kooky because of how he speaks- ...- and how he looks..."

Now, HERE'S where you could have really been raked over the coals, bal. Things have certainly changed a lot in the past 40 years. Now, the modern political descendants of the "Woodstock Generation" consider someone a "kook" because of his appearance? Or his manner of speech? WOW! More than a little hypocritical, don't you think? Sounds a lot like "the man" dismissing the protesters of the '60s as "a bunch of unwashed hippies," doesn't it?

"He's outspoken, claiming we should nuke Iraq and shoot burglars. Says feminists are ugly chicks that don't get enough action."

Again, "outspoken" is a bad thing? As to nuking Iraq, yeah, a bit extreme... but you don't provide a quote, so I really don't have to debate whether he said it or not. Wouldn't surprise me in the least, though. Shooting burglars? Well, that has to be premised on one actually being at home while the burglar is making his break-in. So, yeah, I'd shoot the SOB too. Lots of people would, at least those who believe in their right to defend themselves in their own homes. And TN isn't the first person to express this view regarding the feminist movement. Nor, I'm sure, will he be the last. It's a pretty standard tongue-in-cheek slam at the extremists in the movement.

That's pretty slim pickings for nomination to "kook" and "nutjob." Maybe "eccentric" is a better descriptor for ol' Ted. And while you claim to like him, "kook" and "nutjob" are hardly terms of endearment, are they? I think your main reason for your characterization is his politics. Just MHO, though.
