This is dedicated to Carlos, whom I met on Match.com. He used "Faster Eddie Felson" as his screen name and channeled Eddie Felson on our first date.

  2. So clever! I'd love to see this with other characters. The possibilities are boundless!

  3. John - Carlos put his foot up on the seat and leaned on his knee just like Paul Newman did! That's why I posted that particular screenshot.

    Wendy - Well maybe you should send Eddie Felson a wink? :-)

    KC - You obviously haven't seen my one on Jeff Bailey from Out of the Past. It's my most popular post!

  5. That's so sweet on how you and Carlos met! I knew he was also into classic movies, but I didn't realise he was so cool as to pick a great screen name!

    I do love these singles ad posts. I really would like to see more of them (personally, I'd like to see one on Mark Lewis from Peeping Tom, although that might be a bit frightening!).

  9. this is a great idea. And who wouldn't want to date any of Paul Newman's charactors? Except maybe Brick from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Not too sure about him and Skipper.

Leave me a comment! If it is a long one, make sure you save a draft of it elsewhere just in case Google gobbles it up and spits it out.
