Twelve? Ocean's Twelve is the sequel, which I have never seen; Ocean's Eleven was the original; have you seen the former?

the original "Ocean's Eleven" was a Frank Sinatra vehicle, back in the '50's.

I did see it once, but was unimpressed; but then i am not an 'old' movie fan, they didn't have a fraction of the technique, back then, that they have aquired now.

The remakes are always technically better, but do not always have an equal level of screenwriting, and direction.

[never even heard of Oceans Twelve; probably one of those bad 'coat tails' farces, hoping to capitalize on any popularity!]

Nope. My god child just told me it WAS Ocean's 11, but that a sequel is in the making called Ocean's 12.

I learned to like George Clooney after O Brother Where Art Thou, but wasn't interested in the movie, just the music.

Strained like my memory....when you mentioned George Clooney, Letty, I thought of a newspaper article I read yesterday about him and the new film. I didn't know he had already been in a remake of the Sinatra film....which I enjoyed, BTW, in its day. (Ee-oh-e-leven....)

Is that a sentence? And was that a question?

ah, clary. Bo was alluding to the Pied Piper of Hamlin:


So, Willy, let me and you be wipers
Of scores out with all men -- especially pipers!
And, whether they pipe us free from rats or from mice,
If we've promised them aught, let us keep our promise!

How true, my friend.

(Yes, I know he was)

Cheese may be a good way of storing milk for the winter. But the Asians think it smells disgusting.

Disgusting? Disgusting, I feel, is in the eye of the beholder.

Good grief, yawl. To me the last bit I posted from Browning had more to do with "paying the piper" than catching a rat. Which, of course, reminds me of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet. I think it was Mercutio who called him "rat catcher."

Rat-catcher? Yes, it was indeed Mercutio who called that to Tybalt, in the scene in which M. dies, if I am not mistaken: I sometimes wonder whether it were a good idea to kill the star off so early, but it heightens the tragedy.

Bo, are you kidding? All great Shakespearian actors wanted to play Mercutio.

Oh, Bo! Don't worry; anyway, Mercutio is a great part; I think that you could play it well.
