Don’t see the point in this anyway. The 1940 movie, The Thief of Bagdad, is a great old warhorse. Amazingly, an Indian actor named Sabu played the titular role of the thief. And the inimitable Conrad Veidt played the wicked Jaffar - a role so iconic that Disney cribbed it for the animated movie.

Wouldn’t be the same without Kevin Smith as Ares.

And here is Secretariat at 12 - playing in his paddock. (Note the daisy in his mouth toward the end. He won the roses, the black-eyed susans and the carnations. Here, he awards himself the daisies.)

I think mine is trying to mail himself to a more interesting area.

Hardly American. The whole concept of Christine looking like Sisi was Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's. He collects artwork from thge period and is very familiar with the portrait of Sisi. The scene in which Christine wears the Sisi gown is a solo, only meant to feature her emerging talent., not part of the Aida-esque

And subtract one stroke for unbearable cuteness.

Meh. I wake up to this every day:

Christopher Lee DID play a James Bond villain in The man With The Golden Gun - he was Scaramanga to Roger Moore's Bond.

When I think of Bollywood, I think of color and emotion. I love it when the dancing starts slow and measured, speeds up and then goes NUTS! This is a bit long - featuring short cuts of many popular Bollywood songs. Note the extra thumb on the right hand of the handsome man in black. He is superstar Hrithik Roshan

I associate Bollywood with color. Love the way it starts so controlled then goes NUTS! This is long, consisting of cuts from old songs, culminating in an allout dance frenzy. (Note the extra thumb on the handsome Man In Black's right thumb. He's Hrithik Roshan and the extra digit is a sign of good luck.)
