  • like Hitchcock use to say "I hate commercials."....well, I hate the character limit....well where was I? Oh yeah...Ramsey's dead, she leans in for the kiss, and as she recoils back in horror.... bumps into Dern the roustabout...Mrs Ramsey's face is a contortion of repulsion, shock and complete understanding that she's looking into the eyes of her husband's kil....It's not the line, it's how Dern plays it all skwimpy-eyed like he does...He croaks, " "Evenin' Mrs Ramsey; is there a problem?"

  • @finishstrongdoc

    skwimpy-eyed. i'm gonna' borrow that line.

    it's abt as descriptive of Bruce Dern as anything else. he's part of our experience cultural ly (pardon spelling).i think - that look&manner`

    ty,sir. i've completely enjoyed your return's.

    john

  • I used to scare the hell out of my little sister by doing an imitation of one line that Bruce Dern did on an Alfred Hitchcock TV episode maybe 50 years ago. I'm 63 years old, and I still remember doing that ONE line , and I bet my sister does, too. That's how good Bruce Dern was as an actor.

  • @finishstrongdoc

    ok ... so what was the line?

    - don't leave us hang'n.

  • @JohnAllanification Well, I'll tell ya...but first you gotta remember that Hitchcock was the master of suspense. Dern played a roustabout workin for a Mr Ramsey& just by the way Dern plays the part, you know somewhere along the line all that pent-up hell inside him's gonna bust, but he's playin it cool & has everybody fooled.until he kills Ramsey sets him up by the fireplace in his rocker Mrs Ramsey comes in and leans in to kiss the old man U see a shadow behind her& as she sees Ramsey's dead.

  • @finishstrongdoc

    gotch'a lol i know that bd character or rather how the actor do's that abt-to-bust .. i think that for my generation,no one do's it better. yr' good at this dude. i can imagine the clamminess of dead skin

     .. like potato-soup (do you remember ?. i forget the name of the film)

    anyway ... continue

  • @JohnAllanification Yeah, Dern's the best...he done what he need to do n got out b4 craphole LA ate him up, I reckon...

    Line from Lonesome Dove Cap'n Call: " I got better things to do than sit around an old campfire and lissen to you two discuss grudges." (pulls down brim of his hat, gets up, leaves)

  • @finishstrongdoc

    that really would've been interesting - bd doing a different part.

    i think that it would've said so much abt acting.

  • And i thought i was the only one in the world that loved this guy.I though the other about him and wish he would come back to the screen. He could have been a leading man as far as i am concerned.

  • "Well, sir, you're a pretty old man."

    "Yep. I'm thirty years older 'n you are; had my back broke once and my hip twice, and on my worst day I could beat the hell outta you."

    "I don't think so."

    "YOU WILL!" *SMACK* *SMACK* Dern hits the the deck!

  • @jerico641 Cork it, loser.

  • Bruce Dern's great, and he was in The Cowboys. Love him. Once he said John Wayne told him while they were making it, "They're going to hate you for killing John Wayne." LOL

  • like the lord of the flys :-))

  • He's probably a nice guy but he's soooo creepy.

  • I remember watching this with my dad and when he killed him the anger that people showed after that part. It was such hate for his character.

  • AND YOU MURDERD JHON WAYNE YOU DIRTY VERMIT RIDANT SON OF A BITCH YOU ARE. "I will never get over that scene" !!! To this day ! your days comming you bastard.

  • The cowboys was a brilliant movie. My favourite western of all time, thanks to Bruce Dern.

  • You are the best at playing the "bad guy". You always do a superb job.

  • love you bruce dern!

  • lol

    love this guy! my fav actor.
