D'ya think he's selling out now by doing television??

Yeah I remember Vince Vaughn's performance watching Marion through the hole in the wall. Ya gotta resort to "that" when you don't have a real story to tell... 'cuz the real story has already been told by the Master.
Yeeeech!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhh...they've come down 400% in price. BG, can you pick up one for $40 bucks???
-
B.G., you've got to put a tape in your vcr, press rec and then if you fall asleep, it's okay. You're covered. Better do that tomorrow nite for the Oscars; you know it's a ten hour affair.

"Paulette Goddard, as with the others on my list, seems to drag the film down and doesn't elicit any warmth onto the screen in my humble opinion."
Wow! How 'bout in "The Women"? Have you seen her in that film.? She was pretty fun, spunky, sassy and sexy. ("Where I spit, no grass grows ever?") Your opinion is not humble. Your opinion is your opinion and I respect that. But are you sure about Paulette Goddard???

"CAPRICORN ONE."
New word: helicopter.

Wasn't there a woman's self-help book written by a man (and soon to be a movie) called "He's Just Not That INTO You."

I've read about tissue-lips. And I'll agree to agree to disagree about Gloria Grahame. She's Frank's girl. I'll let him defend her.

I dunno if I'm a wise Maven...but I know I can be a weisenheimer.
Lz...I think you hit it on the head. I think Vivien wanted to be close to Olivier..so she hit the stage. Gosh, the camera dollying in for that close-up of her in a red dress when she joins Melly's party...the camera certainly loved her.
I wonder what other actresses, who were successful in 1939, thought when they saw "Gone With the Wind"??
-
Sorry Falcon. I can't see it any other way.
-
okay. maybe i have to see "american beauty" again and see the trials and tribulations of a real estate agent whose marriage is a sham. i like bening...i can give her another shot. :-)
-
"I think Hilary Swank deserved her win for MILLION DOLLAR BABY, but I think Annette Bening should have won for AMERICAN BEAUTY over Swank for the stunty BOYS DON'T CRY."
Stunty?? I was absolutely and utterly convinced she was a dude. I think Annette Bening is a marvelous actress. I'm hoping she gets a role worthy of her talent.

I loved the lawyer telling his wife to shut her big fat mouth. And then he tops it off with the cherry:
"Marriage is a beautiful thing."
Classic lines all throughout "The Awful Truth."
-
Maybe, especially in stilettos...but he couldn't touch her in a bathing suit. She wore the HELL outta those! ;-)
-
Utz's Honey B-B-Q chips, Pina Colada, Kool-Aid and Vanilla Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I'll be sitting alone in my darkened room...and rooting for Julie Christie and Daniel Day-Lewis.

At least Ty opened a closet full of shoes. He could've opened a closet full of dresses like Jeff Chandler had.
Hey don't get mad at me. I'm just quoting Esther Williams.
-
So well-written and you know Mr. G.'s likes and dislikes so well. Frank, she does make a convincing argument.
Though you're wrong...so wrong, about Gloria Grahame. She a cutie patootie.
-
Lewt is prime candidate for loving The Three Stooges then.
Princess...you & your friends flatter me. And sometimes I amaze myself. Thank you. Look out for the Vedas of the world.

Wow Metropolis...glass half-full man. Half-full. The Oscars do get it wrong (it's only human, I guess). D'ya suppose they opt for the feel-good ticket rather than the 'what it is' ticket??
Reading over the thread..I have to concur that I think Oscar got it right when they gave the awards to:
Hilary Swank.........."Boys Don't Cry."
Susan Hayward....."I Want to Live"
Forrest Whitaker...."The Last King of Scotland"
Ben Kingsley........."Ghandi"
Gable....................."Gone with the Wind"
and
many others.
I loved Ellen Burstyn in "Resurrection." That was a great movie. Her helping the little cancer-stricken boy at the end was very touching.
Say, who do you guys think is the best BEST ACTOR winner...and bestBEST ACTRESS winner. You know, a best of the best?
Oh as for Gable, I know he didn't win...but he should have. At least they got it right with VIVIEN LEIGH.
-
Jesus Christ...sorry to hear about the fire. And you must start your film collection from scratch?? Geez.
-
Don'cha know by now that Hollywood likes to see their actors ACTING??? I thought both Donald & MTM did great jobs in that film. Whatever happened to the rising star that was Timothy Hutton??
On the ENCORE channel they are showing Best Pictures all day:
"Marty" "Heat of the Night" "Annie Hall" "The Sting" "Deer Hunter" "Dances With Wolves" "Rain Man" "Platoon."
I'm in heaven.

"PRIZZI'S HONOR" & "MOONSTRUCK"
I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get. I don't get it. I just don't get it.
See...thinking about them I just developed a headache. Thanx!!!
-
Excellent Violets. We should all do a script that has nothing but cliche lines in it.
-
You don't like Bogart or Bacall????
You sir (or madam) are a heretic!!! ;-)
Psst! Tell me you liked Agnes Moorhead in that flick.
Truly deserving oscar wins

Yes Metropolis...the Oscars are a stupid popularity contest...but we love it anyway.
You won't be watching?? You can kvetch while you watch it. It'll just be ten hours long.
