Yeah, Holden, but what did you think of Meryl Streep's apron?
haha.
It accentuated her turtleneck oh so chicly.

editing suggestion: insert " as always" for "once again."
Excellent point.

Didn't Elton John record a song called "Sprocket Man"?
Yes and one called "Tony Danza."
Hold me close, young Tony Danza . . .

Tuesday, August 11
I'm sure many of us are pleased that TCM is honouring Rex Ingram.
2 a.m. Anna Lucasta (1958). An Eartha Kitt movie. Lovely, talented lady.
Once again do not trust the negative Maltin review on this one.

I assume there I at the start before she was turned into a cat and the focus moved to her daughter in the film.
By "I" at the start of the movie do you mean "you," jamesjazzguitar?
-
Damn.
Yeah, LHF, I really was looking forward to seeing the mindf*** at the end of the movie that you'd mentioned here.
PS. It was cool to hear Robert Osborne "say your name, say your name" in his introduction to THE DAMNED DON'T CRY last night.

remember how badly we dressed in the late 1990's ? Ugh.

Not to test you, specifically. It's just something I do when talking about proofreading, just like the way I purposely mispell some words.
So did you ever inform the one you ultimately hired about the "poofreading" versus "proofreading" in the ad?

I think LOVE AT FIRST BITE famously had a song that appeared in the theatrical release replaced in the video release.
This is what I was referring to:
The movie has been released on DVD from MGM on July 12, 2005.[On the DVD version, the song played during the disco scene, "I Love the Nightlife" by Alicia Bridges has been removed and replaced by a different song.

I have to disagree solely on the matter of color--20th Century Fox Technicolor was always gaudy and shockingly unrealistic, to me; it threw me out of the film. TAORH, from my remembered viewpoint as a kid seeing TAORH the colors were dazzlingly natural--I wanted to jump into the screen (this was Long before Woody Allen's "The Purple Rose of Cairo", where something like that happens) & join the action. Since I couldn't, the next best thing was learning all about the film & actors--once I learned more about Olivia de Havilland, I learned about Bette Davis--& wanted to know more about her. The process is kind of like dominoes falling--whether TCM has got that 1st domino to fall--I don't know.
Yes, the color in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is wonderful as is the movie.

wake me up when princess leia sees the ghost of jabba the hutt.

'WHALES OF AUGUST, The' (1987) was Bette Davis' last completed film; 'WICKED STEPMOTHER' (1989) was her last film appearance. Technically speaking, of course.
So there is some footage with Bette Davis in WICKED STEPMOTHER?

I read somewhere that Marilyn Monroe wanted to play Nefer in THE EGYPTIAN.

Monsieur CaveGirl,
Have you seen THE LEGEND OF LYLAH CLARE?

you keep making me think of the substitute teacher reading roll call on the immortal Key and Peele bit. I can't post YouTube videos, but go there and look it up if you're not familiar.
YouTube:
Key and Peele substitute teacher.
Oh, wow, the substitute actually calls one student "Ay-ay-ron"---- presumably "Aaron" with two "a"s.
Haha: "Dee-nice" and "Je-see-ca"
I can't figure out what "Uh-lah-kay" is supposed to be.
-
Well, my last word is that I doubt it was an accident.
I'll have to re-watch the movie.
I'm pretty sure that he does pronounce it "Ah-run" a few times in the movie, although usually says "Ay-ron."
-
maybe they were trying to show how out of touch Massey's charactrr was.
Maybe Kazan was trying to mess with him.
-
Well where did he get it from I wonder if no one who speaks English would pronounce it that way?
I doubt very much that it was unintentional so I wouldn't say HE mispronounced it. Was he trying to show that the character was different, more 'biblical' than the rest?
I don't know where he got that pronunciation, but it is not the Hebrew pronunciation.
-
So when you say it matters, I assume you mean that you don't like the fact this is sloppy direction and acting. I wonder if the director ever said 'cut,,,,, hey Massey how many times do we have to tell you the name is ARON!'. If the director didn't do this one can assume this mistake didn't matter to the director or that he tried and just gave up!
Perhaps Kazan didn't notice it, but someone should have said something.
-
Does that really matter?
My parents didn't sound like me one bit.
Yes, it does matter that he blatantly mispronounces the name of his own son.
"Ay-ron" is not valid pronunciation of Aron anywhere in North America, probably not anywhere that English is spoken.

It's incredibly difficult to proofread your own writing because your brain automatically adds any words you out.
Did you leave out "leave" on purpose here to test us?

Has anyone seen THE GOOD SON with Macaulay Culkin?
Poor Elijah Wood . . .

Years ago, I put "excellent poofreading skills" as a requirement for a position we had open. More than two dozen applicants, not one of them caught it.
It's incredibly difficult to proofread your own writing because your brain automatically adds any words you out.
Did you point out the "poof" versus "proof" to the person you hired for the position?

I'm going to have to re-watch AMERICAN PSYCHO, starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman.

Someone recently told me that all of Patrick Bateman's crimes were committed only in his mind.
I didn't get that when I saw the movie.
I've never read the book it was adapted from.
November Schedule -- Norma Shearer as SotM!
