She played with my man Gary Cooper in the Fountain Head. I think you would like it. The role she played in Hud was written for a black maid --- but they didn't want a white man being seen raping a black maid. Not in 1963. I think she go best something for that. It took me 3 times to watch Hud.

Brandon De Wilde that played Paul Newman's brother in Hud is the same little fellow who played the boy in Shane. He had gotten a little older in Hud. Shane, Come back

I don't remember that one. I know she had a tough life, first losing a child and then having a bad stroke. I liked her and Paul Newman in Hud.

Yeah it's being re-made as we speak Keanu Reeves will play Klaatu. I don't think the trailer is out yet but it's being filmed at the University of British Columbia.

Yes Patricia Neal did a good job in that movie. She said that a big girl that lived across the street from her when she was 3 years old grapped her by the throat and choked her and that's the reason for her distinctive voice. The Fountain Head was the last movie I saw her play in.

I didn't know. I hope they don't ruin it with too many special effects. I really liked the classic movie. I felt really good knowing Patricia Neal was going to dump the idiot she was engaged to! Here's the trailer.

The Day the Earth Stood Still is a great movie Justx and is in the process of being remade in 2008. Scheduled to be released 12 December 2008.

Great quote, Tenaj. I loved that movie! Going back a little further, it was The Day The Earth Stood Still that first had that effect on me.

Klaatu: The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly.

Yes, the 10 commandments are religious crap for people who doesn't care about your religion.

Both you and your religion get the respect it deserves. If you kept your mouth shut about your religion, both you and your religion would get more respect.

Well said, Pac.

Religions are merely codified organized means of approaching the problems of dealing with one's fellow man. Rules for living, one might say. And since one of the 'Rules for Living' is to not take your neighbor's stuff or any stuff that isn't yours--I vote that stealing is more wrong than blowing your winnings.

It's not so hard to figure out, so anyone who needs your top 10 list to guide their lives can't be very bright. What's religious crap is you and others spouting off and pushing your beliefs on others to try and support your answer to the question. I'm sure he wasn't referring to your bible as crap. It's got some pretty good reading, and deserves space on the bookshelf next to other great works of fiction.

Religious CRAP??? Are you referring the 10 commandments/BIBLE as religious crap?If so thats very disrespectful.Learn some respect pal.Stealing is wrong,and those who steal have sinned.Those who have done these acts can ask god for forgiveness. But to call the 10 commandments/Bible religious crap ?.That itself is also a sin.Also if you steal lotto tickets thats also called cheating. CHEATERS NEVER WIN

I think people in general know stealing is wrong without having the 10 commandments at their disposal to remind them. Why do people always have to instill religious crap on everyone?

Are you telling me that before the jews marched their way to mount sinai, and received the so called 10 commandments, that everyone was void of any conception of morality?

Are you saying that if someone tripped and hit their head on a stone on the way to mount sinai, bleeding profusely, that no one would stop

this is a no brainer.If you won the lottery legally and you waste your own money thats your choice have fun doing it!But stealing is wrong its in the bible part of the 10 commandments. Thou shall not steal.Its a sin.Not only that if you get caught in the act you can face serious consequences such as jail time.

I don't think the question is as confusing as some people do. Winning and blowing the money simply means spending it and ending up no better off then when you bought the ticket. I'd say those people are clearly the dumb ones, though that's only a generalization. Even if you only net a couple of hundred grand it could go a long way towards a secure future if you invest it and save for the future.

Keeping it simple, both acts are dumb.

But to get more detailed, the one who blows their money is dumber in a certain point of view.

The person who steals and gets caught is dumb because they got greedy and didn't plan out thoroughly and follow it. If a thief were to perform this crime, they would have to carefully plan and bide their time and research the ways in which authorities would catch on to them ie; serial/bar codes, lotto agents recognizing them, employement at a store that you...

Hey Coin Toss you are 100% correct in that the bible uses the word CROPS . What do you think that means? To a farmer, which most were back then, CROPS were sold, and that is how they earned their wages. Yes, there are millions of people in the US and elsewhere who claim to be Christians and do not tithe(10%). The Good Book actually teaches we should give AT LEAST 10% OF OUR FIRST FRUITS.

Well, beyond lottery winners there must be a whole lot of cursed people out there because truth be known, even among those who CLAIM to tithe, the national average is 2% to 3 %, not 10....

and by the way, the Biblical tithe referred to crops, not wages or personal income.

Stealing has always been and will always be a sin. It's funny how many try to skirt the issue. i.e. morally wrong etc. It just happens to be one of the ten commandments in The Bible. Check out the book of EXODUS chapter 20. You'll find there are nine other sins listed as well that we are not to commit, but we do anyway. But the worst of all is LYING. In the book of Revelations God states that all liars will be thrown in the lake of fire.

Stealing is morally wrong, but in many cases I'm not sure how dumb it is. There are very smart people who steal from others all the time. They just lack scruples. However, I'll say stealing lottery tickets is probably very stupid since they can be traced.
