I don't really like Burt Lancaster much. He had no upper lip and I always picture him in a swimsuit running through fields like a Bruce Webber photo.

And that disturbs me.

But he just uttered this fantastic line in "From Here to Eternity" and it's not the line so much as the delivery. Say it fast and clipped like Burt and you'll see what I mean.

"What makes you think I'd think a thing like that"

Brilliant.

Shout to Alan Arkin for the Oscar...I have to admit I was pulling for Jackie Earl...he is a wee little man.

Dude, and he looks like Nosferatu. "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty."
