Are they going to run more Lone Wolfs made after the ones they showed on Wednesday/Thrusday morning?
-
That's the Don Ameche version, right?

Well of all the movie versions of all Broadway musicals that have ever been done in Hollywood I can think of no other one besides My Fair Lady that sums up all the charm, excitement, and buoyancy that I would appreciate in a, well, Broadway musical.
Audrey Hepburn is awesome, much better than Julie could ever have hoped to be, Rex Harrison is magnificent, and so is the rest of the cast. I love George Cukor's direction for being a fine example of understatement, restraint and elegance.
If only they could still make such magnficient musicals in Hollywood!
As for JA, well, I used to have mixed feelings about her at best but after being subjected to the constant spamming of useless and pointless photos, the sight of her is almost enough to make me puke.
She only starred in two decent musicals so her influence on movie musicals is marginal at best.

Those were good movies, gotta love AG!

A very well articulated post, NZ. I don't agree with you on some details but I do agree on the overall idea.
Unfortunately, common sense seems to elude the big honchos at the top of the media conglomerates who are ultimately the ones who could help bring about the change. The folks in charge of the studios are just hired hands and they'll probably prefer to play it safe and hold on the their jobs as long as possible, even if that means not making waves and not taking any chances.

I'll be seeing her on Saturday! Alas, she won't be singing.
And do you swear as much when you see her as you do on the boards?
-
That's a very good point I hadn't thought of that
-
Nice to see some photos of her before she started getting all that awful plastic surgery
-
Thanks for the photos, moira.
I am now really looking forward to this "Bob & Bill" movie!
-
I also loved Ava Gardner in The Killers :x
-
Well, it's not exactly unusual for someone who is 72 and trying to look good to have extensive plastic surgery done. God knows how many times she must have gone under the knife.
-
Well I dunno about renting the DVD but I'll definitely be watching the one I TiVo'd.
-
Not Marni, Julie.
-
I hate it when they double-dip like that.
It looks like it might be a rental right now, maybe more if they do something better with it in the future.

The Mummy was a horrible movie, too much CGI and other effects. Tis a shame that it wasted the charm of fine actors like Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
A much better action movie is Lawrence of Arabia, which is dazzling, riveting and deeply intellectual at the same time.

Anyone know if the DVD has any good extras?
-
I'll be looking out for that next time I watch it, thank you so much for pointing it out!
-
Yes. 1974 Special, JULIE AND JACKIE: HOW SWEET IT IS. She was living in Switzerland, and would only fly to London, where her family could be with other family, to tape the special.
BTW how much plastic surgery has she had in the last few years?
-
That should be interesting! Tnx Edgecliff
-
Good thing we could appreciate her talent even in those where she just dubbed others, like the lovely My Fair Lady.

I actually very much liked the approach they took... to make a documentary would have included lots of interviews with anti-fast food advocates but in all likelyhood the people from the fast food companies would have said "no comment" and simply deny any possibility of wrongdoing on their part.
With a dramatized approach, we can take a look at the people inside the industry and why they do the things they do, and how much they fail to do to prepare better food and provide for better working conditions.
-
Good analogy Larry.
-
I saw those last night, they look so yummy!

Thanks for outpointing, JB
I'm looking forward to the next showing of Glenn Miller!
Borat: Cult film?

Yes, his kind of humor is not for everybody. But it works wonders in the movie, in revealing the hypocrisy and prejudice of so many people!
