Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 18, 2009

Aw, he remembered…

AWWWW! that’s adorable!

You never forget your first love.

aaawww, Thanks Lio for helping Kong.

Maybe it’s lame to be the fourth person to say it, but: AWWWW.

Awww! (Okay, so I’m 5th; but it’s appropriate.) It’s good to see the King and Lio remember a beautiful actress (15 IX 07-8 VIII 04).

AWWW! I’m 6th, but who’s counting? R.I.P. Fay Wray

At least she lived for over 96 years, nearly made it to 97.

Sniff.

Aww!

Very nice Mark. She will live forever on film.

So sweet.

well why not–Awwww.

Awwwwwn second thought …

“Whatever happened, to Fay Wray? That beautiful, satined draped frail? As it clung to her thigh And I started to cry Because I wanted to be dressed just the same.”

(Sorry, I can’t do the Tim Curry voice)

Carl Denham got one of the best final lines in any movie. “Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast.”

Oh, and you’re all correct. Awwwww.

Yeah, I’m a sap for screen sirens

no triscadecaphobia here, awwwww

The 1970s “King Kong” was pretty good, but it just wasn’t the same. I’ve heard nothing good about the 2000s version, so I won’t even bother to see it. Maybe what they were both missing was Ms. Wray.

PS: Aaaawwwww.

Dypak I always thought it was “frame”, not “frail.” Your way works, too, I guess. Still appropriate. Here’s e-lyrics take on the song:

Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate satin draped frame As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry ‘Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same

Hey Ji2m that’s exactly what I was confused about!!! Her DOD is listed as 8 August 2004, so what is the significance? Today isn’t her birthday either. Er, sorry if I’m being naive everyone! but I honestly don’t know :o\

I should add an awwwwww here for good measure :o)

Ok, I actually said, “awww” out loud, so I have to chime in with the chrous of awwws here.

I love this strip.

Now THAT’S class!

I went all misty too! (AWWWWWW!)

wharding1960 - That’s what I get for not asking my wife before I hit the ‘post comment’ button. She really let me have it! Thanks for fixing my mistake. Sad to say I havent seen those lips in probably 10 years.

Oh! And let’s not forget Rocky climbing to the top of the RKO tower and it coming down in the pool, a la Kong.

“Don’t dream it, be it.”

Beautiful!

“Ah, ‘Twas Beauty that killed the Beast.”

Way to go, ya Big Lug! You too, Lio.

Touching.

Awwwwww and 18 October is just when the big ape could visit his little friend
