Isn't that Gabby Hayes?  The one from all the old John Wayne movies?

Title: Re: westerns and trucks anybody here into these
Post by: Sis on April 02, 2008, 04:18:34 AM
That's my guess. Don't like westerns much. When I was a kid I used to watch Gunsmoke. I really liked the Rifleman and Sky King.

Is that Walter Brennan?

I know he was in a few westerns so I have no idea what movie.

Post by: yosemite on April 02, 2008, 05:33:04 PM
yea that is walter brennon. this pic is from the movie rio lobo with john wayne. gabby hayes!LOL FACT:gabby hayes had all his teeth pulled to apear older in pictures.  FACT: walter brennon talks the way he did because of a war injury.            thnx yo

George "Gabby" Hayes:

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/Sisbert/GabbyHayes.jpg)

Rumor: He had all his teeth pulled to look older in the movies.  (7 May 1885 - 9 February 1969 died of heart problems)

Walter Brennan:

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/Sisbert/WalterBrennan.jpg)
I never would have recognized him like this

25 July 1894, Swampscott, Massachusetts,
Date of Death:21 September 1974, Oxnard, California Died of emphysema

He could play sophisticated businessmen, con artists, local yokels, cowhands and military officers with apparent equal ease. An accident in 1932 cost him most of his teeth, and he most often was seen in eccentric rural parts, often playing characters much older than his actual age. His career never really declined, and in the 1950s he became an even more endearing and familiar figure in several television series, most famously "The Real McCoys" (1957).

ok ur gettin info at a different place. i got mine off the bonus matterial on dvd's. did it say brennons accident was from the war because my info said it was war related? i dont know why i alway like the comic releif charecters. gabby, festus,brennon,yosemite always atracted my attention more than the mainliners. thnx yo   quiz: what two westerns did john wayne do that were almost identical.  HINT: in one there was a charecter called mississippi in the other the charecter was called colorado.

The problem could have been caused by a war injury. It didn't have details.

Well, in Rio Bravo, wasn't Ricky Nelson named Colorado?

I can't remember who, but there was a poster who was a John Wayne movie lover. Maybe they don't post anymore.

What was the movie where he was in an airplane, perhaps a pilot with Patricia Neal. That was the only John Wayne movie I really liked.

Sounds familiar. It wasn't a test. I really didn't remember. LOL

I forgot which plane Sky King flew. Haven't seen a sky King movie for over ten years.

Ok here's what I found online

Quotequiz: what two westerns did john wayne do that were almost identical.  HINT: in one there was a charecter called mississippi in the other the charecter was called colorado.

I'd have to go with El Dorado and Rio Lobo.  In El Dorado he starred with James Caan as "Mississippi" and in Rio Lobo with Ricky Nelson as "Colorado."  Two of my favorite John Wayne movies. 

I like Westerns, old and new.  Rio Lobo is probably my favorite Wayne pic, although I have great appreciation for The Searchers, which a lot of critics argue is the greatest Western ever made.  I'm also an Audie Murphy fan...I liked his remake of Destry, (although the original with Jimmy Stewart is good as well).  He also starred in a movie with Stewart called Night Passage, which is a great movie.  I heard Stewart wasn't a fan of the movie, and only joined the cast because the script had him playing an accordion.

I'm a movie buff in general, lol.  But Wayne is one of my favorite actors, period.  In addition to some of the other movies listed here, I like Stagecoach which is also a great movie.  And some of his earlier, 1 hour western movies are entertaining, even if they aren't great movies.  Oh yeah, and ya gotta mention "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" a classic, and a great movie! :thumbsup2:

We watch a LOT of old movies at my house...that's probably about 85% of what we watch.  In my opinion, they usually contain better story lines, better acting, and don't rely on CGI tricks to hold the audience.  I watch a pretty wide variety of old movies though.  Some of my fav's....All About Eve (w/Bette Davis), Casablanca, Angels with Dirty Faces, and Captain Blood.  

Btw, I don't know if anyone has seen Amazing Grace (w/Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four), but it is a fantastic movie.  I can't recommend it highly enough.  And it is overtly Christian.

Ahhhhh! A man after my own ideas. But I'm not really into cowboy movies. Like old Carry Grant movies, detective movies, comedies. Not much after 1980's. I think Big is the only one I have really liked that was made in the early 80's. I love that step on piano thingie where the two guys play chopsticks.

I may knock on Bishop's house some day. LOL

Love Casablanca, the Third Man, The African Queen, Streetcar Named Desire, The Maltese Falcon, etc.
Title: Re: westerns and trucks anybody here into these
Post by: bishopnl on April 08, 2008, 03:11:25 PM
The Third Man is a very good movie!  In fact, most anything with Orson Welles is good....Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil....and IMO, he was the best radio version of the Shadow.  :)

Btw, I also like Cary Grant...I just watched Gunga Din the other night.  Great movie.

as i have said on prayer site we are going through a ruff time with my folks,but we are enjoying the new home god has blessed us with imencely.(i hate spelling and typing) my wife has planted so many flowers,bushes,thing of which i have no definition of that we are gonna have to mow 2 acres with a weed eater. asi said earlier land value here has went up and is woth more than the land we had in baldwyn. so you could say we love it but still remember who got us here,and who made it work for us. some times i wonder if it wasnt gods plan all along but why does my family continue to hate me. and im not useing harsh unment words. this is what they actually told me. after the arguement i tried to reconcile and told my dad i loved him,he looked me square in the eyes on july 1st 2007 and told me without batting an eye and said i sure dont love you and as a matter of fact i hate you. these are the last words we had face to face. you ask why is the date so important-it was only my birth day.     thnx yo

Another great movie that kind of has a western theme/feel to it is Treasure of the Sierra Madres with Humphrey Bogart.  That is a fantastic movie...possibly my favorite Bogie movie this side of Casablanca, although I'm partial to all the movies he did with Lauren Bacall as well.  But TotSM is a great film...it also has the classic line, "Badges?  We don't need no steenkeeng badges!!!"  :)

back to movies for a quick minute . . . i LOVE john wayne!  i'm not good with coming up with titles, but i have watched angel and a bad man probably 10 times . . . second to that is sons of katie elder . . .well .  . maybe i like sons of katie elder better . . . maybe not . . .maybe . . .

yeah.

cowboys was the only john wayne movie i didn't like.  the language is awful.  the story is sad. and he dies in the end.  that's awful.

love bogart, too, of course.

i think the flying movie you were talking about earlier was based on john wayne being a WWI flying ace.  it was very good, but i don't remember the name of it.

glad someone has this thread going.  i NEVER have time to watch movies, but i'm always wanting to be reminded of those worth watching.

sam said when we got to gether she felt like minie mouse in a car-tune, in the car that i fixed up as a baja bug.  that car is built just like the little hot wheels car. every once in a while you can still find it at wally world.. i dont have it or a hot wheel now.. :laughhard: :laughhard: :cry2:

I watched Teacher's Pet w/Doris Day and Clark Gable a week or two ago.  And I, uh, saw Ironman and Prince Caspian.  Both were excellent.

Speaking of which, if anyone hasn't seen the first Chronicles of Narnia movie, I recommend that one as well....

ya know i try not to judge but i walked in a bible store the other day and saw the narnia and harry potter on the shelf and thought to myself hmmmm!

i've seen narnia and the wordrobe or something,good fantasy movie. dont think it belongs in a bible store though.

Narnia's entire world, from beginning to end, is grounded in CS Lewis' worldview as a Christian.  It is rife with biblical themes and is allegorical in nature, from Aslan the lion to references to "sons of Adam" and all things in between. 

There's no better place, IMO, for Narnia than in a bible bookstore.

I don't have a problem with Harry Potter, but I agree that it's not Christian material and is out of place in a Christian bookstore.

but thats the point all should have a problem with harry potter. kids tying to imatate witch craft and the likes. now the homosexuall trend has hit the scene and one of harry potters charecters is gay.
i have seen a movie or two recently that meets with aproveal though!!
facing the giants, great movie even if it did come out of the baptist feild..
fly wheel, another hit out of the ball park, even if it came out of the baptist feild.
theser pictures came from a church group in albany georgia called sherwood pictures.

soon to be released is "Fire Proof", another film by sherwood films.
these movies are getting great reviews and shows the baptist's enthusiasim for
church growth. why are the oneness churches so stagnant. we used to be the jumpers and movers, seems we have been leap-frogged.

The only article I've read about kids turning to witchcraft b/c of Harry Potter was in the Onion, a satirical newspaper who makes up stories, including that one.
And I see a great difference between magic as a literary device and actual witchcraft--otherwise, Cinderella and Mary Poppins would be off limits too.

As for homosexuality, there are no homosexual references in either the books or movies.  I know JK Rowling has stated long after the fact that she viewed one of the primary characters as being homosexual, but there are not even allusions to that in the books.

While I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, I don't really have a problem with it because I can distinguish fantasy from reality. I can also judge what I see, or read.

At the same time, I don't think Harry Potter is something that's good for kids to be seeing. While they very likely will not "turn to witchcraft" because of Harry Potter, it's still not a very healthy thing for younger kids to be getting into. When they're old enough that they can completely separate fact from fiction, that's another story.

IMO, if some kids were inspired by Harry Potter to delve into the occult, nothing short of an epidemic would get articles written about it...

I know this little kid who ran around trying to "force" things after he saw the new Star Wars movie(s), and he really was thinking it was possible. He was serious... lol

I still like the old Star Wars, but the new ones just about gave me a case of hives.
