“Babette’s Feast” (1987) “The Baker’s Wife” (1938 ) “Big Night” (1996)

If you want to see over the top sensitivity on the subject of pregnancy / where do babies come from, watch "The Bluebird" (1940). It's the expecting mother's scene. During the early 20th century even making that subtle innuendo in the film raised eyebrows. Fairy tale was written during the Edwardian time period. The sillinest of the scene shows how taboo this subject matter was. DON"T EVEN THINK of trying to sneak in the truth on screen unless one wants the theatre torched and the manager tarred and feathered. Trivia...The 1917 silent version portrayed the high infant mortality rate before modern medicine (all the dead brothers and sisters)

Regarding the subject when dealing with kids, Hanna Barbera took the bold initiative of having a cartoon character pregnant and showing in "The Flintstones" - 1963. Having a baby episode.

Even being married and pregnant, they still had to use separate beds. Can't find the hospital scene but "Lucy Goes Into Labor" broke TV viewer records. Received a lot of hate mail as well. Hard to believe today how uptight some were on the subject.

Maternity clothes in those movies are subjective. How about actually being pregnant in 1952 and really showing! Lucille Ball broke this taboo subject in the "I Love Lucy" sitcom. The word "pregnant" could not be used on the show

"Despicable Me 3" (2017) Balthazar Bratt disguised as an obese jewel inspector. He definitely has plenty of room inside.

"Total Recall" (1990) Cohaagen saying **** em. Referring to the people in the area to suffocate. Guess Cohaagen dying in a vacuum is better than being pitchforked.

"The Flintstones" (1994) Fred....I'm only one man. Barney....Not from the back. ---------------------------------- Pearl Slaghoople (Wilma's mother).....What has he ever provided you besides shade?

The Cinerama's deeply curved screen was only part of the trick of presenting 3D without glasses. Cinerama screen actually consists of more than a thousand strips of perforated plastic tape It reflected light at an angle what's known as the "Waller effect". It actually worked. Notice how patrons are seeking the "sweet spot". The Exit door shows how big the screen is.

Not once has he ever...

His invention is the forerunner of Cinerama using 3 cameras / projectors. Polyvision Cinerama has a curved screen

Re: Kind reminds me of...

If you're referring to "Napoleon", it's available on DVD / Blu ray. Movie is 6 hours long. The one I got several years ago is a low res version that fit on a single DVD. The Polyvision scene is on the last reel of the movie. Newest release may not work on US players (Region 1) This one is Region 2

"The Bible" (2013) miniseries is being presented again on the History Channel Can't help getting a kick out of Satan.

Widescreen formats don't stand out much on HD like on the old CRT TV sets because HD are longer left to right - some more than others.. Think this has cause confusion over the years. I like to go by theatrical aspect ratios to avoid confusion. My Laserdisc presents the old school 1.85 and 2.35 formats. 1.85 on HD.. vs older TV's 2.35 on HD... ...vs older TV sets

Disney long since got their hands on her when they made this... ...and

The early days when Fox started off as an independent studio.

I like the original concept during the 1960's that had action figures to reflect the US Army. It evolved into a silly sci fy character fighting some villain from the planet Pop Tart.

I only thought he was a windbag.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air - for Sale By Owner" (1994) Donald Trump...Everybody's always blaming me for everything.

Politics belongs in the Off Topic Forum. Trump had very small cameo appearances in films. - hard to judge acting talent from them. Some are overwhelmed by his presence.

He would had fit in nicely in the movie. Give him armor, sword and shield.

This thread is about MOVIE characters. So Trump appears for half a minute giving directions and that conclusion is drawn?
