Carole Lombard

In terms of beauty or attraction I'll admit I'm a pushover for Barbara Stanwyck and Ida Lupino and Ingrid Bergman but Lombard's statuesque beauty, while I appreciate it, leaves me cold (nothing wrong with her, it's prolly me). I do like her dreamy, half-stoned style of delivery in Godfrey and To Be or Not To Be, the way the words tumble, half-intended almost, lightly out of the mouth, and kind of trail away like wisps of fog...

You let your children watch Rugrats? You never struck me as a Nicktoons kind of guy...

They don't like Rugrats, I suspect they just let it play in the background.

We're more Spongebob Squarepants type people. Studio Ghibli, but there's only so many of their films...

I prefer Spongebob to Finding Nemo. Less sentimental, more imaginative. Least I think so.
