Gosh, you're right, that's probably a great reason to call other women b*tches.
Good thing you asked everyone to check their weapons at the door and are setting such a good example yourself.

I dunno, I tend to think of toughness and tenderness as qualities that all human beings share in common. Just look at Bette Davis & Joan Crawford, they knew how to be tuff!!!

Having never really read the book... I was still blown away by the movie first time I watched it... I've always loved Broderick Crawford since A Little Romance, one of the nicest movies about young people in love!

Ah, sweet, official transcript!

She and Anne Baxter were the best things about the otherwise forgettable Cimarron remake.

Oh wow, that's neat!

You know, I'd love to see a woman being sworn in as President of the United States -- and I'm not saying this just 'cause Hillary's running...
-
Yup, exactly the first thing I noticed, lol

Amazon.co.uk lists it as out of print.

Got an HD-DVD player?
-
It's a shame that the only Barbara Stanwyck boxed set is available in the UK... and it includes like 4 movies that haven't been released on DVD here in the U.S.

also I am curious is there a TCM HD channel if so then digitally recording some of the OOP movies may be quite attractive option.
Nope. No HD yet for TCM, but soon hopefully.
But I doubt people will be recording DVDs in HD of movies if they are available on pre-recorded DVDs. I believe it would be more expensive to record than to buy pre-recorded, unless prices drop drastically in the near future.

What's the name of the new book on AG?
-
Didn't ignore anything, AFAIK.
-
I'd just add that oddly enough some of the movies that have never come out on DVD here have long ben available in R2 DVDs... such as The African Queen. Sometimes a multi-region DVD player does come in handy!
-
I have a few titles I'd love to see... let's just say I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst... although the "worst" is better than nothing!
Will RW be part of the Musical set or a FA set?

I like the film version of the latter more than the former

I like to read Roger Ebert's columns.....he loves film and that means a lot. But critics' reviews don't play a large part in whether I see the movie. It's just their opinion....
He's one I've enjoyed on a semi-regular basis usually.
Now in some cases, it can be just an opinion. Sometimes it can offer a bit more than just that. There are some that are very enjoyable reads, either before or after the movie.

But for the most part, Ebert withstanding, few critics today write with that passion for film. You don't have to agree with Kael and Ebert but at least it was thought provoking reading.
I can think of a few critics that write with passion. But, in a larger way, many publications have had to adjust to smaller budgets and heavier workloads for each person... maybe some publications have to make do with fewer critics than they did in the past.

In the past I read many reviews of films from James Agee to Pauline Kael to David Thomson's quirky books. Now, I tend to think that most film reviewers, while a few genuinely love film, see almost too many movies for their critical health. It becomes an exercise in self-referential idolatry or elitism that I don't care for at all.
I don't know I could be wrong, but I think the number of assignments may be outside their control to a large extent. Of course, some may want to go to the movies on their time off!
Btw, I like that idea expressed by Klondike and others: contribute to a discussion but not dominate. We need to think about what each other says more carefully. Responding heatedly and quickly isn't always constructive or essential, imho.
I see it as a matter of personal preference. I don't believe in self-appointed moderators.

One can hope!
Hey, Hollis, did you that "queen" is another term for a female cat?
Prob'ly a nicer word to use than the other term for a female dog!
Animal terminology can be quite fascinating huh?
Well you know what they say...

No, but you could explain it a bit further if you liked.
And there's no offense taken because what might seem to you a "70's look" is actually timeless in a lot of ways.
