Day 262 - How To Die In Hollywood, The Votes For Scariest Attraction At The Fair Were Never Tallied, Her Pigtails Aren't The Only Stiff Things In The Theater, A Gray Hair's Breadth Away From...Nothing Really, Scotch Monster, and Eyewitness Descriptions Are Notoriously Innacurate

9:28 AM Mr. Blue
Ever hear of this film? A bunch of pilots died making it, and it was filmed as a silent film, but the when talkies came out Hughes decided to re-shoot all the dialogue.
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
I've seen it.
They were f-ing crazy and I'm not surprised people died.
The flying stuff was top notch...acting...film in general...mmmm....not so much.
9:33 AM Mr. Blue
That's what it seems like.
Hughes went nuts with the action scenes but mashed together the rest, by comparison.
Its kind of a sign of the times when a bunch of stunt pilots die and the movie just continues on like nothing happened.
Around the same time it was pretty much a given that construction workers would die building high rises.
Nowadays if there are deaths on set, even one, it shuts down.
3 pilots + 1 mechanic died.
9:37 AM Mr. Silver
I seem to recall the one English pilot sounding like he was from Columbus Ohio.
9:37 AM Mr. Blue
It says that the starlet of the original was cut entirely because she was Norwegian.
9:46 AM Mr. Silver
"Lord Eversham, allow me to introduce Yvette Bardot, of Paris."
"Wull shucks, ain't y'all the purtiest girl I seen in France yit!"
9:47 AM Mr. Silver
"Ja ja, Lord Yeeversoon!  I ham pleeze tyoo meet yew tooo."
9:47 AM Mr. Blue
Heheh
9:47 AM Mr. Blue
There were some silent stars that really bombed in talkies because of their voices.
One was a guy that was considered a dashing and handsome lead. Then he started speaking and he sounded shrill and nasally and everyone laughed at him and he was reduced to bit parts.
9:49 AM Mr. Silver
Clara Bow's career was destroyed by talkies.
Hottest babe on the screen.
The cause of the term "sex appeal".
The "it" girl
Unfortunately studio people said she talked like a hick. From what I've heard, she spoke just fine.
9:49 AM Mr. Blue
Garbo succeeded, surprisingly, because she sounds like a man.
9:51 AM Mr. Brown
Talking like a hick is hot.
lol



10:04 AM Mr. Gray
Nice....the Murder Hotel story was true.
10:04 AM Mr. Silver
"Sorry about your stutter."
"No stutter...it's pronounced H- h- Holmes."
"Loser."
"Whatever.  Say!  Wanna free room in my hotel?"
"Sure, huh huh Holmes."
10:06 AM Mr. Gray
Man this guy was amazing.
He had to have had charisma like nobody else on the planet.
10:14 AM Mr. Silver
"The Worlds Fair showcased the biggest and brightest and best achievements the world had to offer in 1839...including Best Murder Lair, Most Disappearances from a Major Event, and Most Murders in a Short Period by a Lone Psychopath.  The 1839 World's Fair!  Truly a wonder!"
10:14 AM Mr. Blue
Hahah
10:14 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:20 AM Mr. Blue
"You wanna take out a loan for what?"
"I wanna build a murder castle at the world's fair."
"I don't think that's a sound investment..."
10:21 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:22 AM Mr. Silver
:-)
10:22 AM Mr. Gray
After Holmes was hanged for his crimes in 1895 following a swift trial, a number of the people involved with his trial died under bizarre circumstances, including a priest who had visited him before his execution, the doctor who certified him dead, the jury foreman, and others. This embroidered the legend: that Holmes was continuing his despicable behavior from beyond the grave, still killing for revenge and the joy of killing.
11:08 AM Mr. Silver
Alternate for Mr. Blue
"You wanna take out a loan for what?"
"I wanna build a murder castle at the world's fair."
"So, like, a haunted house?  I love those!  Can I test it first?" 
"You sure can!"
11:12 AM Mr. Gray
LOL



1:17 PM Mr. Brown
Oh wonderful! Now Pippi Longstocking has a sex tape.
Who’s next, Smurfette?
1:18 PM Mr. Amethyst
Awe yea!
Smurf me in my smurf!”
1:19 PM Mr. Brown
Tami Erin is the actress that played Pippi.
1:21 PM Mr. Silver
Pippi?
1:22 PM Mr. Brown
Yep. The actress made a sexy film.
1:22 PM Mr. Silver
The last Pippi movie I saw, she'd probably be 70 years old now.
1:22 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
1:23 PM Mr. Blue
Same here.
1:28 PM Mr. Brown
Well, the Pippi I'm talking about is 39 and smokin'.
1:35 PM Mr. Silver
Nice.
1:37 PM Mr. Blue
Wow, she hasn't done anything since being Pippi.
1:37 PM Mr. Brown
Right.
But she is hot. At least she has that.
1:39 PM Mr. Silver
Breaking back into the biz, eh?
"Pippi Goes All The Way"
1:40 PM Mr. Gray
Wow...she IS hot.
1:40 PM Mr. Blue
The New Erotic Adventures of Pippi Longstocking”
1:40 PM Mr. Silver
Sounds like a that would make for an interesting Cinemax series...



2:33 PM Mr. Blue
I found a white hair on my head the other day near where my sideburn meets my actual hair.
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
It's all over.
Well, you had a good run.
2:35 PM Mr. Blue
Not really.
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
It's all over.
Well,you had a poor run.
2:35 PM Mr. Blue
I want to live
Please, I’m too young to be old.
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
Pfft...I've had gray hair since I was 20...I tend to blame it on stress over a girl...
2:36 PM Mr. Blue
Really?
What about your relatives?
2:36 PM Mr. Silver
Grand dad was bald...dodged that...going gray is fine.
2:36 PM Mr. Blue
Everyone in my family has a full head of hair.
And everyone seems to go gray or white at a "normal" age...after 40 at least.
2:38 PM Mr. Silver
You couldn't tell with me so much that I was gray...I had so much hair and it was dense and curly. But there was a good bit of it in there.
A friend of mine...redhead...he had a pepper of gray when we were still in elementary school.
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
That sucks.
2:43 PM Mr. Silver
He's been shaved bald for years...probably why.



Mr. Gray
"It obviously knew our group was far too skilled to be snowed in this fashion so it stayed hidden like a sissy," said the 47-year-old.
10:00 AM Mr. Silver
He rented a castle and boat to look for Nessie with the latest "bottle of scotch" technology.
I wonder what bottle was brought on the Otter-Man quest.
10:01 AM Mr. Amethyst
"FOUND HER!"
"That’s a log, Charlie."
"Well after a bottle of scotch its an honest mistake."
10:03 AM Mr. Gray
Hehe
10:04 AM Mr. Silver
"It obviously knew our group was far too skilled based on our drink selections, so it stayed hidden and swilled Bud Light or something til we left," said the 47-drink-year-old.



7:07 AM Mr. Brown
So, I had a little bump and run yesterday.
7:08 AM Mr. Silver
What happened?
7:08 AM Mr. Brown
There was no damage that I could see on the back of the car, but we were sitting at the light. Then boom! Hit.
So my wife pulls over so we can check it, and we figured the person that did it would pull over with us to make sure it was all good, but no. They just took off when the light went green.
7:10 AM Mr. Silver
How nice of them. Did you turn in a description?
7:11 AM Mr. Brown
Mrs. Brown could not describe the vehicle. She was too busy trying to get off the road. She saw them in the mirror though; they ended up hitting a curb too.
LOL
7:13 AM Mr. Silver
(on cell phone to police) "...hot pink, three wheels, giant single tail fin, green chaser lights around the... No officer, I already said I couldn't get a license #.  What do you mean “can't do anything”?!"
