Though I have to admit that the image that comes to my mind is from a certain scene in the "The Piano"...



On edit: The title made no sense, given the position of the post in the thread!

That will teach me to go upscale with my image;)

here's a little example of why

Made it for our friend Autorank!

Harvey is just so damn good!

He's just trying to keep fans from breaking down his door. ;-)

This is a real :party: with all the participants in a convivial mood :toast:.

It's amazing the posthumous powers of Montgomery Clift.

(btw, Do you remember the film where he stood at the top of the stairs at a wake and, drunk, told off every single person at the affair for being hypocrites? I've been trying for months to place that.)

It doesn't seem like it would be "A Place in the Sun", but that film was based on "An American Tragedy", and it sure sounds like something Dreiser would have a character do.

Surely Clift wouldn't have been calling out hypocrites at the funeral of the woman he drowns? I don't remember. He's a complex character, at any rate.

Do you remember any of the other actors? Was it a period piece? "Raintree County", perhaps? Maybe someone else will recall.

That pic looks like one of my Dad in the very early 50's...?

Somehow I thought you were younger...

Jan. 3, 2005: (Public domain, White House briefing)
Permanent imprisonment without trial. Helen Thomas grills Scotty at the WH Briefing

Helen Thomas Q: Are we going to set up a prison for permanent detainees for whom we have no evidence to even charge or try?

A: Scotty "the former" First of all, let me back up and talk about the situation that we're in. We are fighting a different kind of war, as you have heard us talk about. The enemy is unlike any we have ever seen before. They have no regard for the rule of law; they have no regard for innocent civilians.

Q: But we have a regard for law?

A: Let me walk back through this. We do. The President has -- his most solemn obligation is the safety and security of the American people. The war on terrorism is a war that continues. The people you are talking about are unlawful enemy combatants who were picked up on the battlefield, and we have a responsibility to --

Q: Why are they unlawful if they were defending their own country?

A: Let me finish. We have a responsibility to protect the American people, and that includes preventing enemy combatants from returning to the battlefield or rejoining the fight once they have been captured. We also expect those detainees to be treated humanely and in accordance with our laws. So this is a new situation that we've been working to address. And maintaining security and making sure detainees continue to be treated humanely are priorities that the Pentagon continues to work to address.

And in terms of steps that they're taking to make the living conditions of those at Guantanamo Bay more suitable for longer-term detention, you should talk to the Department of Defense. But that's why I reiterated that this is a war that continues and we're talking about enemy combatants.

Q: I asked you if we're going to have a permanent prison for detainees, into eternity, without any charges, without any trial. And if they are picked up from the battlefield, why don't you call them prisoners of war?

A: For the reasons that we've previously stated, they're referred to as unlawful enemy combatants. We've been through this --

Q: Why are they unlawful?

A: -- on a number of occasions, Helen. And there have been --

Q: So you are going to have a prison, right?

A: -- in some instances. There is currently a detention facility. Like I said, if you want to talk about how the Department of Defense is working to address these issues, you can direct those questions to the Department of Defense.

You should hear her grill the valet parking guy about the big scratch on her car;)

If it's really, really good, you'll know it's Helen's work. But my name will be on it;)
