OOHHH!! I just got a mental image of Lucille Ball, OLD LUCILLE BALL, wearing that little white half-shirt/orange... um... thing (no idea what to call it).
I would take it if it was young Lucille. She was smoking hot, just like Mila. Especially if they would occasionally stop, break the fourth wall, and do a Philip Morris commercial. "Don't say 'Cigarette!' Say 'Philip Morris!'
Tam, I really want to see an EEG and CAT scan of your brain. It is NOT normal. Mikee - Myrna Loy is why I want Time Travel. See if you can find the silent film Don Juan (1926). Well worth your time. Here's Miss Loy's IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001485/?ref_=tt_cl_t10
Yeah, I wonder what sort of career she would have had, had she (been able to?) continue down the leading lady versus the comedienne route.
No CAT scan. Even ignoring the ionizing radiation it's mostly structural information and I doubt an Abby Normal hardware issue. An fMRI would be more instructive.
I appreciate greatly where Tam's mind wanders, having married a woman whose train of thought runs on tracks that look like a road up a steep mountain. I've been to similar places and earned many titles that begin at "unique" and quickly degrade to derogatory or insulting elevations of said category. I take no offense, perhaps having even a bit of pride. Giving up Milla, however, is not an acceptable answer.
I grew up watching both Maureen O'Sullivan, swimming in the nude in Tarzan, and Myrna Loy, in her slinky nightgowns in her movies. What was even better was both of them in The Thin Man.
Audrey Hepburn & Lauren Bacall in Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.
Cary Grant for Ferris in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Gary Cooper might have made a better Gump, but it would have been fun to see him and James Cagney in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Humphrey Bogart & Bette Davis in You've Got Mail (but not Sleepless in Seattle).
Edward G. Robinson as Detective Frank Harris in Cool World, with Lana Tuner as Holly Would.
In the other direction, Tom Cruise would probably have made a wonderful Brewster in any character from the 1940s Arsenic & Old Lace. Anne Hathaway for Ilsa Lund would have worked, as would probably Matt Damon for Charles Foster Kane.
Oh, this is a FUN exercise! You've got quite the interesting take on things.
I um...I actually have that T-shirt, Kristopher. The one with a meat popsicle, leading up against the wall with both hands in yellow circles.
The entire casts of the various "Lucy" shows fits fairly neatly into The Fifth Element. And a Cuban accent might work just as well as Bruce Willis's growl. But who plays the DJ?

ReplyDeleteLucille Ball had the red hair to play Leelu.
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember Myrna Loy? In one of her many slinky silk nightgowns?
Just because they were old when we were young, doesn't mean they weren't young once, too.

The Fifth Element as a horror film:
ReplyDeleteCarrot Top as Leelu.
Sorry, it's just how my brain works.
Gerry
Whatever ya'll drinkin' in Hoosieropolis, please send some to Md., mmm-kay? we need it BADLY....
ReplyDeleteYeah, my same first though: Smokin' hot young Lucille Ball I can see as Leelu. Middle-aged comedy queen Lucille Ball, not so much.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I'd pay money to see smokin' hot young Lucille Ball do comedy.
Let's really mix it up and add in Ash the android from Alien, David Addison from Moonlighting, and Drexl from True Romance!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes ... Lucille Ball was HOT.
I get the Lucille Ball as Leelu image. Strange and funny.
ReplyDeleteCarrot top as Leelu. You sir are seriously broken.
Leeloo, you got some 'splainin' to do!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think the 'pouty-cry' scene in the cab would translate as well with Lucille's 'cry'...

Sir, are you classified as human?

Rochester has to be the DJ. Maybe we can find a place fore Mr. Benny as well.
ReplyDeleteLeave my Milla ALOOOOONE!
