Twelve O'Clock High (Read 616 times)


Think Whirled Peas

    So I'm at home today, a cold has me cooped up, and I was lamenting the fact that I didn't have much to read laying around. I grudgingly turn the tube on and catch "The Princess Bride" from the very beginning. I love that movie, but it's prolly been 15 years since I've watched the whole thing. Then I flip the channel and get to watch a classic. Twelve O'Clock High. Gregory Peck rules, er, ruled.

    Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

     

    Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

      It is my day off, I am home with Food Network on ... as always ... Barefoot Contessa is making my stomach growl! This weather has me feeling so unmotivated! I guess I'll go do some laundry - yippeeeee! Track tonight - that's good - to make me HTFU (my new favorite word thanks to the Ninny lady)!!

      peace


      My legs are killing me

        I think Contessa would be a good canidate for the couch to 5k program. Wink

          Yeah, he was a classic. Don't forget Guns of Navarone & Cape Fear. Although, Robert Mitchum kind of stole the show in Cape Fear. The villain almost always has the better role. Have you ever seen Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter? That's a classic. As good a villain as Henry Fonda was in Once Upon a Time in the West.

            As good a villain as Henry Fonda was in Once Upon a Time in the West.

              Yes but Emeril & Paula should join in as well..."just add a little more butta & then we're gonna fry it up y'all" Why don't they just set up a cardiac catheterization clinic adjacent to their kitchen? Can you say chest pain?

              peace

                Oh, I love Gregory Peck and Gary Cooper. Loved Gregory as Atticus Fitch. Loved him!!

                  Imminent Catastrophe

                    Then I flip the channel and get to watch a classic. Twelve O'Clock High.
                    Not only a classic, but this movie was shown to us in Naval Aviation as a classic example of leadership. As opposed to management. Great flick.

                        yep...the Navy got a lot of mileage out of it....Naval Leadership Development Program - 1985. It was so good that I brought it home and had my sons watch it with me a just a couple of months ago.... Great flick....
