Victor,
Yes, "One Mil. BC" is a good one- full of fun if accurate period atmosphere, and only moderately anthroplogically accurate, but RW makes these points moot. You know the old expression: "это будет человеком молока, котор оно сдуру не знает своих коров." (< Whew!)
As a tot I was a Sci-fi fan than the cave set, so fro me it was Raquel in that white diving suit in "Fantastic Voyage",.. I was too young to understand that odd tingling, but I never forgot the sensation!
I walked past Raquel Welch- within a couple of feet- at the Music Center here in Los Angeles about 5 or 8 years ago- she's quite a bit more petit than I imagined- perhaps 5'5". But, for someone born in 1940, she looked just great. I got a faint smile and this kind of thing is memorable. The time Dick Van Dyle opened the door for me at the Malibu deli is just not the same.
Nor when I met Bo Derek at the Jaguar shop years ago, or saw Dolly Parton in the restaurant, I had none of the same sensation as fair Raquel. She lacks sensuality, but in the mid-late 60's seemed perfect in all the other ways.
Cheers,
Bambi B

Trully one of the, ahem, seminal moments of cinema,
is in Fantastic Voyage when they have to pull and rip the oh-so
tightly clinging antibodies from Raquel's wet white diving suit...

  Pepe Le Loco,
  Odd that the antibodies weren't interested in clinging to the male crew members- selective.
  Though I was about 8 at the time I saw this, I still imagined volunteering to help out any way I could .

Whew is right, Bam, you keep killing me with your "Russian"! - Victor Khomenko 06:29:23 06/10/06 (2)
Now I need to figure out that expression! :-)
I love Bo... I have been indifferent to her until I saw her at Bush's inauguration ball, then it was love at second sight (the first one being, of course, the 10). She can also speak somewhat eloquently with no script.
With 35-23 1/2-35 1/2 measurements, she was probably the most effective Bush campaign fund raiser.

  Victor,
  Thanks to my early life all over the place (my father worked in the oil industry '49-'66) I can embarass myself in terrible German, Dutch, English, and even a little French. Now I don't even remember what my first language was- German I guess.
  You're right about my "Russian"- I should really learn English first before ruining new languages. My Mother is the linguist- Spanish is her degree language, but she does a few others- and when her sister lived in Leningrad for five years, learned a bit of Russian and that got me interested. Russian is fascinating to me as I can't tell what the hell I'm doing most of the time, and it becomes Duchampian poetry, with accidental meanings. A friend with a Russian degree from Dartmouth says my Russian is (paraphrsing) something like the sounds made when a Swedish person gets run over by a Buick with English plates! I did a painting of one of my heroes- Rasputin, and I'm sure the title I painted in Russian ("Портрет человека вытягивая его бороду.") is quite different from the intended!
  I think there's far too much concentration on language having to "mean" something just all the time.
  More often than not, I end up really hating Blake Edwards movies***, but "10" has some great comedic features and for Edwards is actually a rather quiet movie.
  ***Except "The Party"
  Did you speak with Derek at the Ball? I started chatting with her at the Jaguar shop- she was waiting for a car, I was waiting for XK140 suspension parts. But in jeans and little makeup- she was highly freckled and had obviously been in the Sun a lot, plus being really quite petit- maybe 5-3, 5'4, I didn't recognize her. The mechanic told me when she'd gone. But, yes, a strong presence, and a definite, (slightly unexpected) intelligence and nicely calm.
  Another chance meeting like this was in my local espresso hole and there was Jamie Lee Curtis in muddy riding clothes. She's tall- 5'9/5'10, athletic looking, and though she's not often in movies I like much, I've long thought she was attractive and a strong character.
  Did you speak with Derek ?
  Cheers,
  Bambi B
  PS: The sidebar auto-adverts on this page at the moment: "Bush Countdown clocks", "Free song-"Bush ain't no poor Mans's friend", "Become a powerful leader, you can learn to conquer the World", and "Replace Bush- respond now and get a free laptop" -What kind of intelligence-free programme comes up with this, well, "stuff"?

    Never met Bo close up... they did not even invite me to the Bush' bash!
    The ads I see say "Study Russian in Moscow"! I think they want you!
    With a hero like Rasputin you are assured good time there!
