Hi Gang.
Just finished watching "East of Eden" this weekend. Now that I've seen all 3 of James Dean's films, here's my question:
Why is/was Dean such an icon of "cool" when all he did throughout all 3 of his films was whine and cry?
My only theory is that in "Rebel Without a Cause," he talked back to his father, and (if I remember correctly) called him "weak." This was basically unheard of in mid-'50s society, and maybe the "hoods" saw it as cool.
Any other theories out there? |

Am I the only one that thinks Rovark's new piccy looks like a young Bob Dylan?

Don't be daft. It's from when he played Lt. Doolittle in Dark Star.
 
Oh that's just scary |

It reminds me of that (now deceased) PBS populizer of formulaic acrylic painting, Bob whatzzisface.
Bob Ross, and yes it does!! Actually, he was a very nice man. I met him once at an antique mall. He was walking around, looking at antiques, in a happy happy world.

You crack me up. |

First you start making jokes, then you turn red, now we get bad language!
Seems as if you are becoming a bit of a "Rebel" yourself!
What jokes? What language? I know about the red. :)
Well there was your "tiny shovels" joke for a start, and this "annoyed the snot outta me" is definitely a slippage in your standards!
Whatever next? 
Ha ha, yeah I'm a really bad girl. |

Another "Rebel"lious voice heard from! I would say "Giant" is worth a look, Tori. No crying in this one. I still question the "coolness" factor, but he is worth watchin' here. A fine (if quick) swan song. |
