TREMENDOUS SHOW

God, "Mother's In-Law" was sooo awful!

Did Wayne Newton die as well?

I totally agree about "Three Billboards..." "LadyBird" may still take home Greta Gerwig for Best 0. Screenplay though You really should go & see "D. Hour" as also a good history lesson. it & "Dunkirk" should be on a double bill

I saw "Shape...' awhile ago & personally think it's very well made but I liked "Three Billboards..." a lot more myself & this seems like it's now headed to sweep the 90th Annual Academy Awards including Best Director-(Del Toro) & Best Picture & it's marvelous score by Alexander Desplat-(think he already won for "Grand Budapest Hotel") But it didn't stick with this viewer like "Three Billboards..." which I think is exceptional overall (***1/2-out of 4 stars) Anyone else see this yet, or any of the other 2017 Oscar contenders? THANX

Think they really started this after the colorization of B & W movies?

& the two also did a film together 1960's "All the Fine Young Cannibals' but it's mediocre at best (**) Remember the 1980's music group of same name?

& "Brainstorm" is still a good movie (***-out of 4) helmed by Douglas Trumbull who also designed some of the rides at Universal & Disney parks Louise Fletcher was robbed of another Oscar nod as well

I already wrote this but it went bye., bye for some reason? Has anybody on here ever visited her grave in "Westwood, cem? It's much more famous as being the locale of the legendary Marilyn Monroe's final resting place though & has anyone ever drove down the street (603 Canon, Drive in B. Hills) where her still standing-(for now) rather humble house is located? PLEASE CHIME IN IF SO

So you are a big *KATE fan? So much of course to go on about *"THE GREAT KATE!" & for anybody around the area someday, the final house of both *"The Great: Spencer Tracy-(l900-l967)" & her, is the still standing at 9191 St. Ives Drive in Beverly Hills/But there is a lot of foliage surrounding it.

(NATALIE TRIVIA; Her idol was *Vivien Leigh-(l9l3-l967) & she had a lg portrait of *Leigh in her living room & WB's publicity dept would always list her as being 5'3, when in fact she was barely 5'0

Well, she always joked that even though most involved on each project, were well aware of her ultra fear of dark water, somehow they still would get her into the water for sequences i.e. "Splendor..." "Daisy Clover" the tv movie "Mystery of Eva Riker" the epic 1979 tv mini-series "From Here to Eternity" & more

4 BIG STARS AGAIN BUDDY! This topic is an incredibally personal one with me, I had just turned 17 when this horrific event occurred. It really rocked me to my core! However, I am no fan of Robert (RJ ) Wagner, but never felt as though he actually killed her. A long story involving her, Wagner & *Christopher Walken & it's unlikely this latest police investigation will turn up any new items

Most also don't know about this horrible woman & virtually all you read/hear about her mahd-(Russian for mother) & her father was actually Ukrainian. is likely accurate or understating her. & she truly is what the term "Stage Mother" was invented for As for her stunning death on November 29th, 1981. Her sis Lana wood is on the $$$ this time out Check out Natalie's awful accident dating back to the early to mid 1940's when she was just but a tiny little girl ^ on the set of another 20th Century Fox picture

I own this book & it really goes into great detail about this & the infamous & still pretty much unknown to most 1954 horrific incident, when she was only 16

Jakeem, ever read & I think you may like that book by Danny Peary "Alternate Oscars?" Only debit is he needs to revise it,. it stops with the 1991 movie year

Hello Jakeem, I agree with most of what you wrote, but it's like any sport & horce racin' it's still fun to attempt to outguess what they may vote for & study it's history It's sadly-(because it takes the fun part our of it), already looks as though we can see in what direction Hollywood is going for overall & "Shape.." sweep., & with OLDMAN, McDORMAND, ROCKWELL, JANNEY & DEL TORO strongly coming out as victors come March 4th

To EricJ, what is "Where is everybody" topic though?

Swithin, we split BIG-TIME on Oldman's work in the picture! & at present you & I seem to be among the chosen few that actually saw "The Phantom Thread"

To sagebrush, thanx for replying. Yep, as I wrote it's a running tally sheet of my own forecasting of the final winners (NOTE: I already made a couple (revisions)-( and as it stands right now & with Del Toro just winning the DGA Award, it propels the film to be a slight & ultra-close leader for the overall *AMPAS race) (P.S. I had hoped more would throw in their own 2 cents though?)

He was a big time alcoholic & ended up passing away in '1937 ate age 37

A well rounded list/compilation! Did you see all of these in a theatre as well? Plan to see "THE POST" this week & have been able to see half of the BP race

To LawrenceA, I think the BD race has been over for awhile now, Del Toro has long been the favorite. I think Jakeem would agree, the only important Pre-*Oscar Awards now are The BAFTA'S-(British Film Academy) Last year was such a total given the the wonderful "La La Land" would sweep a huge bunch of "statuette's" & it mostly did except for "the biggie' Best Picture, in what is arguably the biggest upset in it's 89 years! It's much, much closer this time

Now that the DGA has announced it's winner (Del Toro) which was no big surprised though, except that the film also win the PGA-(Producers Guild of America) this years *Oscar race has really gotten tighter for which sweeps & takes home the coveted Best Picture *Academy Award, of course mainly meaning between "SHAPE OF WATER" & "THREE BILLBOARDS...?"
