honestly, i edited the post from my lascivious original. which implied that ALL her neighbors and their kids and her coworkers and even most of us were...you know. but it was maybe "too much." (the truth often is)

I will, however, say that I DO MISS THE LAURA DERN TRIBUTE TO BARBARA STANWYCK, which seemed a lot more heartfelt and genuine than JENNIFER JASON LEIGH's and I loved the bit about her school bus driver stopping on front of STANWYCK'S HOUSE every day on his way to drop them off at Beverly Hills Elementary... "NOW GET OUT KIDS, AND KISS THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE GATES!!!!! AND HURRY UP, WE GOTTA DO THE SAME THING AT EVE ARDEN'S PLACE DOWN THE BLOCK!!!!"

honestly, at least 1/3 of your neighbors are probably looking at porn at any given moment anyway so, really it works out in the end.

and VANESSA REDGRAVE should sing the lyric "You've got a problem with the way that I am/ They say I'm trouble and I don't give a damn" while WAVING A PLO FLAG. GOD I MISS THE NINETIES!!!!!!

ps- I'm having a fun time imagining JOAN PLOWRIGHT belting out the multiple "OH YEAHS" in QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.

sounds better than what they went with as tribute to "year of the woman"... A MUSICAL NUMBER CALLED "LADIES NIGHT" which was performed by LIZA MINELLI. I will be merciful and not post it here. IT WAS MOST UNFORTUNATE

i messaged you.

It was extremely uncanny how much she and RALPH BATES resembled one another.

I watched DR JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE (1971), More because I am a HAMMER HORROR completist and not because there was anything about it that particularly engaged me, although I guess they do get bonus points for working BURKE AND HARE and JACK THE RIPPER into the mix. Kinkily amusing at times. Directed by ROY WARD BAKER who had a pretty wild and varied career, a year after the livelier SCARS OF DRACULA.

oh. one weird example i can think of offhand is A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON being nominated for THE STRIP when it had come out years before, **although it is a great song

also, WHITNEY did not attend (having just given birth, I think), so NATALIE COLE performed

Sadly, my copy of INSIDE OSCAR has fallen completely to pieces and i had to junk it, but I kinda want to challenge you on this statement. there's GOT to be a weirder BEST ORIGINAL SONG NOMINEE out there in the annals of the awards...

also also, I recall miss Gelman-Waxner bemoaning that we don't see more of QUEEN OF THE NIGHT in THE BODYGUARD, and suggesting it is probably a lot like the SATAN'S ALLEY number in STAYING ALIVE.

I guarantee you, nine out of ten people who've seen the movie forgot that dude. he was an ODD casting choice.

and don't forget a certain MISS RACHEL MARRON for her STUNNING DEBUT QUEEN OF THE NIGHT: (LET'S SEE EMMA THOMPSON DO THAT!!! ..Seriously. I mean it. I would LIVE to see EMMA THOMPSON perform QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.)

it really would have..,although 1992 was an infamously bad year for women's roles, I think it was a bad year for conventional women's roles, but commercial films actually had some fun parts. I still recall the paper, which I styled to match the format of an entry in DANNY PEARY'S book ALTERNATE OSCARS (which, if you have not read it, GET A COPY NOW). I'm sure that this is going to get some real derision, but I thought the winner should have been PFEIFFER for BATMAN RETURNS with the other four "worthy" nominees being GOLDIE HAWN and MERYL STREEP for DEATH BECOMES HER, SUSAN SARANDON for LORENZO'S OIL and SHARON STONE in BASIC INSTINCT.)

**And no, I will NEVER stop referencing KEN RUSSELL'S "THE DEVILS."

I have to admit though, there are certain reaction video ideas that I am down for. Like I would enjoy watching a REACTION VIDEO OF A BUNCH OF JESUIT NUNS WATCHING "KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS" FOR THE FIRST TIME! or, say A GROUP OF EVANGELICAL YOUTH MINISTERS REACT TO SEEING LUCINO VISCONTI'S "THE DAMNED" FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!" or, best of all, ALYSSA EDWARDS REACTION VIDEO TO SEEING "THE LEGEND OF LYLAH CLARE" FOR THE FIRST TIME!"

THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is JJL at her worst voice-accent-overracting-staccato-wise. I know she has her fans, but I don't like her and I don't think I've ever liked her in anything.

HOW DARE YOU????!!!! THERE WAS NO MICHELLE PFEIFFER CAREER DECLINE!!!! SHE IS AN AGELESS ETERNAL ANGEL WHO PRESIDES OVER US ALL!!!! -KIDDING! I totally know what you mean. I actually wrote a paper for AP ENGLISH in high school in 1994 wherein I argued that MICHELLE PFEIFFER should have won THE BEST ACTRESS OSCAR in 1992 for BATMAN RETURNS.

i don't miss that JENNIFER JASON LEIGH tribute to BARBARA STANWYCK, wherein she referenced STANWYCK'S EXTENSIVE EMOTIVE ABILITIES in the most "THIRD GRADER READING A BOOK REPORT THAT THEY DIDN'T WRITE ON A BOOK THEY DIDN'T READ"-tone of voice I think I have ever heard. it was like watching a tribute to ANNA MAGNANI narrated by BEN STEIN,

TCM THE WINE CLUB! TCM THE TEE-SHIRT! TCM THE FLAAAAME THROWAH! (the kids love this one)

YES, I RECALL GETTING QUITE TIRED OF THE MERCHANDISING!

I watch everything ON TCM ON DEMAND or TCM ON HULU on demand, so I don't ever sit through the commercials like I used to, and I kinda sorta somewhat miss it... but not much.
