I saw GWTW on the big screen, and I remember thinking it was one of the most annoying soap operas I had ever seen.
Worth it just for the way Fred MacMurray says the word "Baby."
Brief brag: I lucked out & saw Jack Lemmon & Billy Wilder in conversation at the Stanford Theater about 20 years ago, before a screening of "Some Like It Hot." They were both completely delightful. Somebody brought up a pair of maracas for Lemmon to play with. Wilder was a seriously tiny man - he sat in an ordinary chair and his feet didn't even reach the ground.
Anyway, yes, GWTW is ####### terrible.
and again, i have to say it was actually good. i feel it necessary to mention this because it was absolutely terrible last year. i haven't read any of the books, so my first exposure to any of the new characters is when they show up on my television, but just so far, the governor, michonne, merle, they all blow the season 2 characters completely out of the water. and in addition, rick seems a lot more interesting, since he's gotten past the generic dudley do-right kind of leader, and seems to be more pragmatic about protecting his people form outside threats, be they zombified or human.
and carl is also more interesting seeing as he's not gutshot.
Briefly. From the same generation, Maureen O'Hara, Maureen O'Sullivan, Bergman, Hedy Lamarr, Vivien Leigh.
Speaking of Leigh, if Gone with the Wind was played a lot on cable, I wouldn't stop and watch it a lot, but I think it's a failure of imagination to just dismiss it. You have to adjust a little to the audience -- it was big on a scale people hadn't seen before, big music, big color, big story. Boxofficemojo still lists it as No. 1 all-time for adjusted domestic gross, even though it's been playing on TV for half its life. And Vivien Leigh was crazy good looking in it.
looks like the larry sanders show is back in a holding pattern while i watch all 5 seasons of this.
fiddle dee deeeeeee
oh yeah
and rita hayworth is, in my not so umble opinion, the most beautiful White actress like ever. young elizabeth taylor very close second. grace kelly? blah bland blond
There are many, MANY "blah bland blond"s in this world.
Grace Kelly is SO not one of them.
SO utterly true.
Well, white like Ted Williams was "white."
Meanwhile, I realize I omitted Madeline Kahn, which is tragic. MADELINE KAHN, then.
That's kind of a weird thing to say about Rita Hayworth, whose father was from Spain. And just as weird a thing to say about Ted Williams.
To be fair the Protestant nations of northwestern Europe have a centuries-long history of portraying the people of Spain as a race which doesn't really fit in the European panoply. I don't see the harm in keeping that proud tradition alive!
And I'm a big Hitchcock fan, though for me "Vertigo" belongs among his absolute best. Amazingly well put together film, in clear binary format with form nicely underpinned. Creepy as hell, too.
Rennie's group of 30s/40s hotties is a good one. So's Rita Hayworth, especially in "Gilda," though I don't think it's a very good film. Also forgot to include an agreement for Ann Margaret above.
Gilda, right. Clearly I have Ed Wood on the brain. It's not great, you're right. Seemed like a Casablanca knockoff to me.
While her career wasn't in the class of those ladies, Jane Greer in "Out of the Past" was a wickedly bewitching femme fatale. One of Mitchum's best -- his character knows he's swirling down the drain from almost the moment he meets her. The dialogue in that movie is fantastic too.
"How big a chump can you get to be? I was finding out."
"It was the bottom of the barrel, and I was scraping it."
"Joe couldn't find a prayer in the Bible. "
Big fan, too, but Vertigo is too stylized for me for it to be up with Notorious, NxNW, Psycho, Strangers on a Train, even Shadow of a Doubt. I'm not a Kim Novac fan, so there is that too, I guess. Vertigo is creepy, I'll give it that.
Sounds like a Lars van Trier movie.
...except without Nicole Kidman being repeatedly raped.
I was wrong, and I blame the awesome hotness of Madeline Kahn.
Well, the bad guys needed to kill "George Kaplan" and if he was found with a bullet in his head, then the cops would know that he didn't kill Townsend. The baddies had to make it look like an accident. Maybe not the accident I would choose, but "accidently" cropdusting a killer on the run to death wouldn't lead to much investigation. It's a plausible premise; the execution is exquisite, going from benign to deadly in a single extended scene.

as i had said before, i had no plans to watch season 3, but since i never took it off autorecord after season 2, it showed up on my DVR, and i decided to watch the premiere a few days later. it was pretty decent, so i kept watching, and well, here i am.
where's the trollface when you need it?
They did say they weren't going to veer away a lot from the comic book this season but it appears they've already lied to us on that front. The interesting thing will be what they do after season 3 when the governor story is played out. They're cashing in a lot of chips right now and I don't know if they have a lot left for after season 3 and have it not feel repetitive.
I understand the love of the scene, I just think that death by crop duster was a nutty premise considering how low one would have to fly to get Cary Grant in a propeller blade.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit electroshock treatment.
i still wouldn't say it's a good show, but it's nice that they're acknowledging the show's history.
Edit: I don't know about "hot," but you can't take your eyes off Hayworth in two Astaire movies -- You'll Never Get Rich and You Were Never Lovelier.
Personal fave.
1, for some reason, i'm still watching revolution. it's still not good, but i do see a light at the end of the tunnel, in that they seem to be torturing that girl with the disney eyes, and for as annoying and naive as she was at the start of the show, if they could slowly turn her into the same kind of misanthrope as her uncle, that could actually make the show enjoyable and, dare i say it, compelling.
2, on amazon instant streaming, there was some roundtable discussion of justified that included timothy olyphant, graham yost, and elmore leonard. the whole thing was quite awesome. during the course of the discussion, the moderator brought up a point i'd made in a previous thread, that noone on the show actually likes raylan. this was filmed the day that season 3 premiered, and in response to the question, graham yost cracked a joke about how they wanted to find raylan a friend during the 3rd season.
And before I forget, Christy Turlington is probably in the top 10 most beautiful women who have ever lived. I honestly don't think I'd be able to speak if I ever met her in person.
Going with fast zombies in this one. Looks like an interesting movie and I am kinda glad they stick with the book. Didn't really like the book.
And in that situation, who of the two is classified as the "star f**ker"?
Both?
I actually think Tim kind of likes him. At least more than anyone else.
Well, Boyd Crowder sure does.
Yeah, you can call me biased towards this movie. :)
Watching Pearce hamming it up was actually painful. He's a terrific actor, and deserves better than this.
Anybody here who hasn't seen "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert": you totally should.
Guy Pearce AND Hugo Weaving AND Terence Stamp as Australian drag queens, and they're all outstanding.
sounds like kind of a rip off of that wesley snipes movie.
i was just having a little fun.
i'm not quite sure whether this is a real competition or the greatest piece of performance art in human history, but either way, it's totally and completely awesome.
i almost went apoplectic when he said that. i'm gonna say this show is right up with archer in the running for my favorite show on television.
I've spoken to Christy Turlington in person. She was buying cheese from me. I gave her samples of four cheeses. She bought three. She was dressed down and was not a blazing beauty or anything like that, just looked like a pretty woman.
Well my friend, I'd say you're half remarkably right, and half terribly, terribly wrong.
All great episodes, but personally, I'll take "The gang Buys A Boat" over all of them, for the sole reason that "Because of the implication" is, like, the funniest few moments of TV, like, ever.
TWD is strong this season, but I'm very disappointed in what they're (not) doing with Michonne. The lack of any kind of history at all makes her uncompelling. The lack of any detail of her and Andrea's six months wandering in the wilderness is a serious narrative blunder. That could have been fascinating and evocative. Instead, we get varying degrees of glaring.
The failure to have her explain to Andrea that she saw blood and bullet holes in the vehicles belonging to the dead military unit was plain silly.
That show needs two good seasons to make up for the "Farm Scene with Occasional Zombies" still life, and any season where Carl isn't dead isn't a good season.
fringe: i'm sure that i'm wrong about this, but is there any chance that peter is september?
I haven't watched last night's yet, but this is one of the recent frequent speculations in the nerdosphere, so you're not alone. I'm hoping not, I don't like those sorts of circles with no start, but it's certainly a possibility. I do hope that it's revealed the "month" observers are from a much farther future than the invader ones.
I love rapist Dennis. Watch like the first 2 minutes of "Dennis gets divorced".
