Since we can now laugh contentedly at @SoFL_Dawg 's prank re: Ringo, I'll indulge myself in this here. "Chewing the scenery" isn't the correct, or at least not the best, term for what Catherine is doing. In a list of theatrical terms, I found that "steal" or "steal focus" is what she is doing. This is not the same as "scene stealing" or "stealing a scene", which are good things that can happen - someone doing more than expected. EDIT: I suppose UPSTAGING is the current term, but I like my "catching flies" term as per below.
However, I saw the term "catching flies" in a book. I think it was a biography of Groucho Marx, and either he used the term or perhaps it was George Burns (also a comedian) recounting an actor in vaudeville that was stealing focus from his, George's or Groucho's, performance. So an actor was catching flies (not literally) while one was performing, which required retaliation at another performance.
"Catching flies" in more recent vintage, but still ancient to many of you, can be illustrated by viewing the hearse scene in The Magnificent Seven and watch Steve McQueen as Yul Brenner is talking and driving the hearse at the start. How much value is it to rattle the shotgun shells in your ear?
A commentator mentions similar behavior by Steve and others, also at Yul Brynner's expense, at 5:40 here (start at 5:32). Also at 6:25 specifically about Steve McQueen. Yeah, he may as well have been catching flies. Surprisingly, I cannot find "Catching flies" as a current theatrical term.
Actually they mostly did. We saved their arses. They given up their country now.
But we should not give up on Ringo like our ancestors didn’t give up in the face of machine guns on DDay
“What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
If we were to lose Ringo, could we keep his mom?
Would have been cruel
Well it’s true, she’s maintaining her 5* status with me
We really need a commitment soon. Posts are becoming the equivalent of getting excited looking at a gals ankle. Seriously, I love the Ringo prank. It was well-executed and perfectly timed. I just need one of these five stars to take the red dress off completely and give us more than a tease or a peak.
My My How the Tables Have Turned! Well played @SoFL_Dawg, Well Played
Just catching up here. I had a feeling @SoFL_Dawg - just classic! Wait, did u also create the new poster that was real concerned about 2020 recruiting? Or maybe that's an actual nervous person - if so, sorry.
Nah whoever you’re referencing isn’t me.
Thinking about going back and flagging your original Ringo post as abuse. You’re one sick b***ard and I LOVE IT!!!
Idk if this is off topic, but I'm watching Bijan Robinson in person right now. I know 4A Arizona football isn't the greatest competition, but you can tell how talented he is. 5 touchdowns in the first half alone against the #25 team in the state.
Got to watch Huntley and Burch in person. Burch seems to take plays off but he’s talented enough to do so. He’s a freak when he gives 100%
