CelluloidKid

*Whoo hoo! dianabat!...I Couldn't have said it better!! Happy New Year to you! Peace!*

Keenan Wynn was in Joe Dante's _Piranha_! *NEW DIRECTOR: JOE DANTE!*

(CelluloidKid sounds like he is on a game show!) "Ummmmm Bob I wil say: _Black Narcissus_ (1947)"...W./Deborah Kerr, Flora Robson & (Boring!) Jean Simmons!??? Am I right!? Anglican nuns, led by the stern Sister Clodagh, attempt to establish a religious community in the Himalayas, and must battle not only suspicious locals and the elements, but their own demons as well. *.......Really it's an over-the-top silly film!*

Me too...it was injustice! I hate to say this, but unlike Heath who had more duds to his film resume, Brad made harder challenges as an actor, and made more indie edgier films! 3 1994 The Client 1995 Tom and Huck 1995 The Cure 1996 Sleepers 1997 Telling Lies in America 1998 Apt Pupil 1999 2 Little, 2 Late 2000 Skipped Parts 2001 The Theory of the Leisure Class 2001 Happy Campers 2001 Bully 2001 Tart 2001 Ghost World 2002 American Girl 2002 Deuces Wild 2003 The Job 2004 Hollywood Flies 2004 Mummy an' the Armadillo 2005 The Jacket 2006 10th and Wolf 2009 The Informers

OK...I popped in _Poltergeist_ (1982) on DVD W./some friends and started a whole philosophical discussion on: _Poltergeist_ (1982) . Oh man what fun night! LOL! *HERE IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH:* Where was Carol Anne ? Is her voice everywhere or just coming from the TV set? (I mean in one crucial scene the Freeling's are looking up the stairs while the parapsychologists feel and listen to the TV while Diane is talking to Carol Anne before all hell breaks loose!?) Dr. Lesh then asks Diane "Where was Carol Anne playing?", Diane Reply's "In her bedroom closet".? How would Diane know this? Wasn't the kids in bed asleep when again, all hell broke loose? OK, if Steven's house was built around 1976 (According to the film!) , SO in what year did Steven join the building firm? Wouldn't Steven know about the cemetery land deal? How long was the haunting going "Before" the Freeling's even contact the parapsychologists? How were the Freeling's able to explain the disappearance of Carole Ann to friends, neighbors and even other family members outside of the home? Where did the house go? What would the neighbors think? How big of a scandal would this be? If Dana (The daughter is 18 in the film!) and Diane is 31....Man she had her young! When all hell broke loose (The tree grabs Robbie, the twister hits etc.!) Why didn't someone (The big-sister!) stay with Carole Anne? Or even grab Carole Anne for that matter? If a tree broke your window and grabbed your little brother..wouldn't U have moved your **** right out of bed & ran like hell? OK, after Robbie gets rescued from the tree & the twister leaves, & the sister real stupidly states something like: "Carole Anne I left her upstairs!", then everyone races upstairs, opens the bedroom door & run right to the closet. ...... How did they know to go to the closet? Also, Why didn't anyone state something like "What happened in here?" after entering into the childern's bedroom, I mean after all, the room did look flawless, even with a broken window. Why doesn't someone mention something like "Why are the beds blocking the opening to the closet?" How could the parents "EVEN" think that Carole Anne, on her own, moved her beds to the closet?! If the bedroom was the heart of the house, & it was so "Evil", then how could Steven enter that room, place a board over the broken window, blocking out the sunlight, etc!?

*OK HERE IS SOMETHING MOVIE RELATED...IT MAY NOT BE "CLASSIC" FILM.....but at least it changes the topic from politics to film!* *Dreamworks to run 3-D movie trailer during Superbowl* Associated Press Published: January 5, 2009 *LOS ANGELES (AP) - There will be a new twist to this year?s Super Bowl commercials?a 3-D twist.* DreamWorks Animation is giving away some 150 million 3-D glasses at 28,000 locations around the country so people can watch a 90-second sneak preview of an upcoming animated feature called ?Monsters vs. Aliens.? DreamWorks? CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg calls it ?perhaps the biggest media-advertising event in history.? And how much will it cost? Katzenberg will only say, ?tens of millions of dollars.? He promises the glasses won?t be the lame, red-blue system that?s been around for years. He says the new technology is superior. So, where do you find these free glasses? They?ll supposedly be available at Pepsi/SoBe Life Water displays at grocery, drug and electronics stores and big-box retailers. Intel has produced over 125 million pairs of 3D glasses, which are being distributed by PepsiCo through the SoBe Lifewater brand. The glasses will be disseminated via 25,000 SoBe Lifewater retail displays in grocery, drug and other retail venues beginning in early January and will be FREE to consumers. *Should a display's supply of glasses run out, consumers can call 1-800-646-2904 in order to obtain a pair*

I watched the documentary in bits and pieces through out the years...it will be grand to see the documentary i its entirety!

Barn ....... .. _Christmas in Connecticut_ (1945) - Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stanwyck) is told to go to the barn & milk a cow, & she says something like, "Oh, we have a barn?". & she is supposedly lives on farm. LOL. Makes me laugh every time! *NEW WORD: VALENTINE!*

LOL...I guess I'm just overly excited this is finally coming to DVD, & will be shown because after I bought the book, my partner just wants to see this!

WOW.....Cool ...Thanks for the heads up...My Partner and I just Pre-Ordered our copy from Amazon.com...he has never the documentary, and he is really excited to see the documentary: _MGM: When the Lion Roars_. What is sad, is that TCM is breaking up the documentary over three nights...Unlike when TCM can play all 3 _That's Entertainment!_ films in 1 day! *MGM: When the Lion Roars, Part I: The Lion Roars (1992)* Monday, January 12, 22009 @ 3:45pm (MT) Arizona Time! *MGM: When the Lion Roars, Part II: The Lion Reigns Supreme (1992)* Tuesday, January 13, 2009 @ 3:45pm (MT) Arizona Time! *MGM: When the Lion Roars, Part III: The Lion in Winter (1992)* Wednesday, January 14, 2009 @ 3:45pm (MT) Arizona Time! I found the book: _MGM: When the Lion Roars_ "Used" but still in "Good" condition for $7.00 at a New & Used book store last month! *It contains 500 illustrations, 100 in full color.*

Franz Waxman received an Academy Award nomination for Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture for _Humoresque_. What helps Joan's performance is that _Humoresque_ had been Crawford's first film after her Oscar-winning role in _Mildred Pierce_ . So with an Oscar in hand I think this gave her more of a sense of security with her acting talent.

Perry Lopez was in: _Creature from the Black Lagoon_ Directed by Jack Arnold! *NEW DIRECTOR: Jack Arnold!*

Johnny Depp (Another Over-Rated Actor, I don't care for him! I know the horror of it all!) was in: _The Ninth Gate_ directed by Roman Polanski! *NEW DIRECTOR: Roman Polanski!*

Persia .. _Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time_ (Doesn't come out till 2010, but this is the 1st film that came to mind because it has been talked about all over the movie pages of the internet!) *NEW WORD: Passionate*

*JOAN ROCKS! I never get tired of her...NEVER!*

*Best Line!* Helen Wright: I was married twice before - once at 16, once at 21. One was a crybaby and the other was a caveman. Between the two of them I said goodbye to girlhood. *LOL ...God I love Joan!!!*

_Humoresque_ (1946) - John Garfield's violin "performances" are actually played by two professional violinists standing on either side of him, one to bow and one to finger. The actual music was performed by Isaac Stern. - Movie Database!
