this just in;

not edsell, the gentleman pictured is hedley lamarr the famous star from blazing saddles...another picture that should have recieved the academy award...

still 124 days from opening !
I thought that was Hedy Lamarr? :D

the lovely hedly lamarr (actress) sued mel brooks for using  the name hedley lamarr ( played by harvey  korman) in the movie blazing saddles

she/they settled out of court

They should've cast her in the movie as a character named Hardvey Korman.

A side note to this thread - at the SAAC 44 banquet the gathered were asked to raise their hand if they thought Matt Damon was a good choice to play Carroll Shelby in the upcoming movie - no one raised their hand, silence. 

The room was very full, hardly any seats were available.

Was there a second vote for "who should have gotten the part?"  Like McConaughey?

No there wasn't - but I agree that they choose the wrong Matthew

Matthew McConaughey was not chosen because he drives a Lincoln....

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I did get one of those posters.  It is signed by Aaron Shelby (grandson).  Nothing significant to me but fun.  Now I guess I should see the movie, but awaiting reviews by Shelby enthusiasts first before buying a ticket or waiting until it is on a cable channel. 8)

don it's going to be one heck of a film, we have a group down here that is anxiously awaiting its release

hoping to get  a participant theater to give us a section for our group

as far as that coveted poster if it was a original 20th century fox / wd poster....it would be more valuable without the signature...oh well

tremendous line up in the movie, think it will excite the crowd
