Tator's World

Hello there my name is Marie....and Tumblr really has become my place for sharing a love of Old Hollywood like LOTS of Peter O'Toole, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton & other Classic Films. Some Star Trek/TNG thrown in along with some current TV shows and occasionally something really random just to keep things interesting. I hope you enjoy, but if I am not your cup of tea, it's all good as it is a big universe! "Carpe Diem" my friends!

Pic of the Day: “Sometimes, for your own sake, Red, I think you should’ve stuck to me longer.” “I thought it was for life, but the nice judge gave me a full pardon.” “Aaah, that’s the old redhead. No bitterness, no recrimination, just a good swift left to the jaw.”

Wow, I'm surprised she didn't regret turning down Hildy from His Girl Friday.

She had Tracy Lord instead!

Tracy Lord simply would NOT BE if it were not for Katharine Hepburn!

This is just a reminder that Han Solo...

Offered to take Luke with him because he knew Luke didn’t have anyone left

Turned the Falcon around and flew right into the battle of Yavin, firmly believing it was suicide, because Luke and Leia needed his help.

Went out in the freezing night of Hoth to rescue Luke

Got Leia off Hoth on the Falcon

Faced down Darth Vader without fear, armed with nothing but a blaster

Volunteered for one of the most dangerous missions of the war.

Didn’t assume that Chewie would go with him on a suicide mission, even though Chewie owes him a life debt.

Offered to step aside when he thought Leia was in love with someone else.

Left the love of his life, because he believed it hurt her to be around him.

Offered Rey a job.

Saved Finn’s life.

Risked his life to save Rey and the Resistance.

Offered to do anything for his son.

Died trying to redeem his son.

Looked into the eyes of the man who killed him, and not only forgave him, but let that man know he still loved him.

OFFERED REY A JOB BECAUSE HE COULD PERCEIVE HER LONELINESS AND LONGING FOR A PLACE OF BELONGING AND SENSED THE DESOLATION THAT WAS HER LIFE ON JAKKU I JUST

“It sometimes takes nerve to get an effect you visualize. I’ve found it necessary to reduce an audience to near-boredom in order to give it a whack in the guts.” ―David Lean

He cited the scene in which Omar Sharif first appears out of a desert mirage and seems to be approaching in slow motion a water hole at which Lawrence has stopped with an Arab guide. The scene explodes with electrifying shock when Sharif shoots the Arab dead for using the water hole without permission—in the midst of a desert of magnificent endless solitude.

What made the scene, Lean said, was the near-boredom of the three minutes of preparation.

None of the critics mentioned the scene, however. Ninety percent of the critics, he said, fall over in helpless admiration at the directorial stuff that isn’t difficult to do—the show-off stuff. I’m bothered by this sort of worship only because the stuff is so very easy to do. It’s always been important to me to hide the technique.

That’s me in the picture: Rose Levenson meets Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, east London, 1975

I didn’t believe they’d come – Clapton was such a down-and-out area and they were such icons
