ah, yes. ok, I see. edit: maybe next time, use bold instead. "they don't call it a cockpit for nuthin!" (gets the point across I think)

TUBI is where it's at, Mama. I just noticed they've got DEATH AND THE MAIDEN and JUST A GIGOLO with DAVID BOWIE and NAKED LUNCH and all kinds of other stuff. Wild stuff. a lot of cool stuff from the 80s and 90s.

NASHVILLE sucked though.

I abridged your list down to the above titles because they are all 70's films that I have seen for the first time ever in the past 5 years or so, and with the exception of NASHVILLE I liked them all a lot or found them worth watching at least. (emboldened are the ones I ESPECIALLY liked or even loved)

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥💋💋💋💋👍👍 (no TOWERING INFERNO tho?)

I can’t get in to KLUTE. I’ve tried, but no.

No, it works as one word.

Cockpit

Please know that you are not alone in this.

**although, HAVE YOU READ the NUTRIONAL INFORMATION on THE CAESAR DRESSING????

of all the problems that I have with THE TOWERING INFERNO, the film having TWO HEROES isn't one of them, and I think it's actually handled really well, maybe as the result of a happy accident resulting from what I can only imagine was a CONSTANT behind-the-scenes d!ck measuring contest between NEWMAN and McQUEEN- they both have the exact same number of lines and (more or less) two scenes together, mid-way through and at the end- and the rivalry is able to be played out between the two onscreen, one (correctly) blaming the other for the whole mess, and the other trying to assert that, NO, HE is THE JOHN MCLANE of this particular picture. when you get right down to it, PAUL NEWMAN'S character in THE TOWERING INFERNO is a well-meaning idiot and a crappy architect who gets a lot of people killed. wise that he stuck to SALAD DRESSING in real life.

** Of course, now that you mention that Siskel and Ebert didn’t like it, I kinda wanna go back and find something nice to say about it…

No, believe it or not, I thought about it before I wrote that reference to BIG. When Tom Hanks as a 12 year old in the body of the 30 year old says “I don’t get it”-he just means that in his naïve, childlike innocence he can’t wrap his mind around what it’s all about (Alfie)…like how I feel about THE LOVED ONE But when John Heard in BIG says “I don’t get it” He means “I don’t see who this is for, I don’t see who thought this was a good idea, I don’t see who greenlit this” and more so “I don’t get WHY THIS EXISTS”- questions I asked repeatedly watching AMERICAN POP. I kind of hate to feel like one of those heartless studio executives in a Coen brothers movie, but seriously, I would’ve told anybody who elevator pitched this film to me to get the hell out of my office then and there.

now that you mention it, ROBERT WAGNER should probably get a MR YUCK sticker too.

I’m jealous! These kids today just don’t understand what it was to see a movie like that in a theater, especially a packed house.

And not JUST because of his acting (although that’s enough.)

FAYE is NUCLEAR LEVELS OF GLAMOUR. It’s like she’s single-handedly trying to make up for everything about the first four years of the decade being so BUTT UGLY , (and she comes damn close.)

OH THANK YOU! ❤️❤️👍👍👍💋💋

I mean, they allowed me to post the video for I WANNA HAVE SOME FUN by SAMANTHA FOX in a thread in GENERAL DISCUSSIONS a couple weeks ago, so I think they're pretty cool and open-minded for the most part.

I bet you anything it was a copyright issue. someone on youtube noticed it had been embedded elsewhere and asked it be removed (which they can do), not a censor issue or moderator being harsh...VIACOM I think still owns SOUTH PARK and they can be hardcore with their copyrights

it's kind of like watching the contents of a spiral binder from a 1980s middle school get the FANTASIA treatment

ALSO, i'm sorry, but if I could cover OJ'S face in the above photo with a MR. YUCK EMOJI, I would.

and RICHARD CHAMBERLIN reminds me of BEA ARTHUR.

JENNIFER JONES always reminds me of DIANE KEATON in this movie.
