I agree it was a great film, better than the play!
-
I liked those Deco borders - oh well. Sigh.
Same here

Great poster!!! Thanks MGMWBRKO

Mr_Dash, will you please honor movielover's request and refrain from any unnecessary personal attacks? Please stop badgering me, every post you've made on this thread today has been a personal attack. If you have a personal problem with me, send me a PM and do not disrupt the intent of this thread.
Keep it on topic, please -- movielover's already asked twice.
Thanks.

Glad you found the article interesting, crispycomment

Um, not sure how frequently you post on these boards, but I assure you I'm not the primary offender re: this "disorderly" trend. Obsessing about Brando's weight and how "sad" it is in five or six posts seems to me the definition of "disorder"...
otterhere -- are you going to DROP it or aren't you???
I made one mention about this and thought it would go nearly unnoticed or unmentioned. If people keep badgering me about it then of course I have to clarify my position.
So now, please, drop it. Thanks.

Also, I'd like to know what everyone's favorite Brando scene is...it can be any Brando movie - but list a particular phrase or scene that you enjoyed most.
It's almost cliche to say you like the often-mentioned scenes from A Streetcar Named Desire or On the Waterfront.
My latest favorite would have to be the old footage that was incorporated into the recent Superman Returns, because it gave me a very rare chance to see some never-before-seen footage of Brando in a theater screen, long after he is no longer with us.
It was very touching, because he was a big part of what gave the original film a larger-than-life, mythical quality.
-
I don't think anyone here has "fixated" on his weight. It's a small aspect of Brando's long and extraordinary career. He'll always be remembered primarily for his acting.
-
Always loved every bit of art, posters, stills, etc. from the old classics.

I must say I'm a little disappointed that TCM's airing Capra's most famous, easily available films, during his birthday tribute in May. It would've been a great opportunity to unearth more rarities and let the world see the beginnings of this great filmmaker and how he evolved... but I hope there'll be other opportunities.
Agree 100%

movielover -- I'm sorry that things have gone awry in this thread, obviously I'd give anything if it could remain firmly on topic, but it's not a thing any of us can control.
I love Brando, and I am looking forward to the documentary (as well as to the Brando movies being shown).
Let's hear it for Brando!

I think I detect a fellow RHPS fan...

Well you're probably right -- Supersize Me is practically a candy-coated look at fast food, when compared to Fast Food Nation.
However I will say -- Bruce Willis has a single scene that stands out as one of the most menacing turns I've seen in recent movies in the last year, at least. It's scary because it's probably not far from the *real* people in the fast-food business.

Yes but you were the one who posted here saying others should leave others alone, without following that advise yourself.
Here is your logic:
Cinemascope commenting on MB -- bad
Mr-Dash commenting on Cinemascope -- good
Do you see the hypocrisy yet?
-
Don't worry, I'm just as **** as you are :-) It really bugs me if I can't see a movie from the very first second and watch it all the way through.
I don't think it's unusual for many film buffs, critics, historians, etc. to watch everything thru the end. It's a bit harder with recent movies, the end credits just seem to get longer and longer with many Hollywood movies.
Once in a while, tho, there's a great hidden scene right at the end of the end credits.
-
Well who could blame him, looking at Marlene?
-
If you truly believed in leaving others alone, then you'd be setting an example yourself.

Just wanted to congrat all you Coop fans on your 1000 post (and counting).
Meh. How could I miss this special occasion? May I offer my congratulations as well?
-
Hope nobody minds talking about the new DVD here in the Family Films forum... anyone else upgrading their copy of Peter Pan?
I got some good news from amazon.com today, they gave me a reimbursement because their price changed from the time I ordered. Now I just have to find the time to watch the DVD, lol.
-
Anyone else a fan of this?
-
Glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoyed October Sky. Found it to be one of the best "nostalgia" period pieces of recent decades, almost as good as Rambling Rose with Laura Dern.
-
I agree that it's important to see these films as they were shown, warts and all. History is important and shouldn't be diluted simply because these routines are now (rightly) considered 'politically incorrect.'
But do you think HOLIDAY INN's blackface "Abraham" routine is what prevented TCM from including it in its' list of Holiday films this year?
Agree with you on both points. That's why I'm a firm believer Disney should release Song of the South on video, like you said, "warts and all".
-
Probably haven't seen that since the laserdisc came out. Should check it out.
-
There are good movies being made today, and for people who haven't watched very many classics, they're probably as good as it gets, cinematically. But many things can't be properly appreciated without looking at them in a historical context, and when looking back at all of the stuff that filmmakers throughout the last century have achieved, it shouldn't be surprising that one will find many achievements that totally dwarf the accomplishments of modern filmmaking. Yes, some people like modern movies just fine -- I also enjoy them, and often. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, now you really have me excited to see the film again!
