  1. I'll never forget-(look it up) when an aging *CAGNEY was awarded "Pesidential Medal of Freedom" around early 1980 & then president Reagan got the honor of giving it to him (Most fans don't know *JIM was his acting idol as well)
  2. These just may be a historical *Oscars
  3. though Extremely early I'LL SEARCH FOR THE SUPPORTING RACES FIR YOU rECKON NOW THAT "the beguiled" WOULD NOW OPEN WIDE, NXCT I HOPE TO SEE IS "BATTLE OF THE sEXAS" sadly though not among the greatest, but I REALLY GO FOR *NIC0LE ever since "To Die For" Ever see 2004's "DOGVILLE? ​ )4 stars!)
  4. Jakeem, good going again pal! I just got the newewst issue & **** you know early,it may tape a bit of shape? (NOTE: Did you also cite the supporting masybes.,, because they have Carell in that role instead?
  5. Elba was in talks to portray the next "BOND" My vote Tom Hardy This guy name literally do everything & only at 40! Ever see the nasty british gangster film "Legend?" (strong ***) beware the cockney accents are even stronger then *Connery's 1965 powerhouse "The Hill" (***1/2) In "My Alternate *Oscars" I voted for Hardy as Best performance by a leading role in that pic. But he was only up for s. actor that yr for "The Revevent" instead There was a 1990 crime-drama "The Krays" never saw it.
  6. Jakeem, did you see "W. Woman" yet? But by far as you of all know "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST" is 2007's biggest **** at over $500m. domestically only I think that makes it No. 7 ever
  7. GREAT GOING BUDDY! However & as we all now it's very early yet. These 87th annual Academy Awards may be of a history vent a bit though You have both Oldman & Brain Cox as "Churchill" Benedict Cumbermatch as "Edison"_"Current War"), Steve Carell as Bobby Riggs in "Battle of the Sexes" & of course more, possibly K. Branagh in "Murder on the 0rient Express?" Also, though no footage is set yet but John Travolta portrays John Gotti as for the Ladies> Dench, "Victoria & Abdul" Annete Benning-(her 5th shot), Emma Stone as "Billie Jean King" in "Battle of the Sexes" Salma Hayek & I'd have look, but even more & never know actors get lucky in *"The Woodman" films & *K. Winslet is due in "Wonder Wheel" & from the looks of whats coming ahead & despite some of it's drawbacks>"Dunkirk" may still be a big contender? Also "Mudbark" "0ur Finest Hour" "The Current war" & several *Oscar pundits are high on "Wonder Woman" & PLEASE HELP OUT!!! What ever happened to *Nicole's big "DUNKIRK?" Not 1 local theatre has plans to get it & no posters either? WHO HAS SEEN IT & WHAT DID YOU THINK PLEASE?
  8. & I read many times that Bob -(his own admittance on Cavett) was black foot. B. Reynolds-("Navajo"), *Cher-(don't know?), ^ I'm forgetting a couple right now?
  9. I rate the first one a bit of the follow-up, how about you? Although a lady I've had a thing on since about 1980-("Somewhere In Time" starred in the follow-up
  10. That was neat of him to write back. Though I;m no fan, *J. Crawford always insisted on answering her fan mail & nightly YTU & LOCATE THOSE 1970's DICK CAVETT-(miss him) INTERVIEWS. IT WAS AFTER ONE WITH *BRANDO THAT *MARLON TAKLED HIM INTO A SEEDY PT OF TOWN BECAUSE THEY HAD GREAT CHINESE FOOD & ALL THE WAY ACRES THE STRET WAS A #1 PAPARAZZO RON GALLALA-0(l931-0( NBOW, HE NEVER PEAKED IN WINOW, INVADED PRIVACY NADA. BUT, *MARLON ASKED DICK "WHGICH ONE IS GALLELA & HE RAN AWAY THE STREET & SHATTERED HIS FACE!
  11. THANX FOR WRITING! He had a brother that looked like him, but was bigger & when Cavett asked what happened to his bro he just said "I Don'T Know He Jumpoed A Train Somewhere" His son-(I lbelieve) co-starred in the first Drive-in Chase picture from 1958 "Thunder Road" (***) Did you know-(like Shatner) had his own album & sang the the theme for TR?" His actually first features were in a couple Stan & 0llie films
  12. Top Top, I'm a wee bit confused, do you go when a lot of this was shot, or did fans send you these? THAT PHENOMENAL MENTION IN THE PEERFECTLY DETAILED_(& I don't care for stuffy costume dramas) BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT, ESPECIALLY *SIR ANTHONY AS MR. STEVENS! I PERSOINALLY RATE HIS WORK IN THAT AMONG THEE FINEST IN THE 35 YEARS I'VE BEEN GOIG TO NEW RELEASES! Though I knew *Hanks would win for ""Philadelphia" that year) HE HASN'T BEEN HONORED WITH THE AFI AWARD AS TET EITHER & 80 PRETTY LONG LIFE FOR AN ALCOHOLIC! IT REMINDED ME ON THE MANSION IN THE BRILLIANT 1979 "BEING THERE" (But please let me know)
  13. " Rushmore" is sooo terrific" ($18m.,) (***1/2) Bill Murray won just about all the pre-*Oscar awareds-(s. actor) but no nomination
  14. & THE LOST ALSO INCLUDES BOOKS, POSTERS, CD's THE WORKS (P.S. who has ever had the pleasure of going into "Larry Edmund's" on H. Blvd.) It's astonishing, you ask about a certain star & the pull out several photos
  15. "MOVIE MEMORABLIA" -(tcm & otherwise) Please submit items that you have & have collected over the years? Tried this before, but strangely for this site there were no takers??? My A #1 is something you can't purchase anymore-(maybe on Amazon) & it was a christmas gift around 1996-98, but can you believe I've never been able to play it with another? It's called "SCEN-IT?'-(tcm version, board game & has little pieces of classic cinema & it's mainly a dvd trivia game) There have since been several others in the series "Seinfeld" Very, very, frustrating for me Again excuse the sloppy wring as some know I'm not doing well anymore
  16. Robert Mitchum-(l9l7-97) was actually black foot indian
  17. As his fmr leading ladies say, he was a very literate guy & read all the time. What do most think of his 2 epoic tv mini-series ":Winds of War" (l983) & 1989's ":War and Rememberance?"
  18. Yeah, the Annual AFI recipients seem to be getting a bit younger, obviously due to folks passing away, unfortunately
  19. & KNOWN AS "MR. RKO RADIO" though he's always claimed he rarely if ever saw his boss Howard Hughes-(l905-76) calling him "The Phantom" He truly excelled as villians "Night of the Hunter" & "Cape Fear" (l962) Early on though when at RKO he did his own stunts, breaking many bones, until the stuntmen remnded him they got paid for that job. Mostly on 1951's "His Kind of Woman"
  20. Saw "Dead Man" starring Johnny Depp. Wasn't too fond if it though, stylish over substance (**) "Maria's Lovers" was around 1983 N. Kinski & then of course *Scorsese's very expensive rehash of "Cape Fear" (l9l) ($78m.) (***1/2) But this viewer still prefers the original mainly due to the out of nowhere "asinine" hurricane at the finale? Though Bob did have a marevelous line to Nolte ("Well, Pardon Me All 0ver the Place") & PAY ATTENTION TO A VITAL MITCHUM ROLE HE MADE FOR TV IN 1983-(at 66) A TRUE STORY WHERE HGE GOT HIS 3 SONS TO BREAK HIM OUT OF JAIL-(lying to them of course) & THEN WENT ON A KILLING SPREE WITH THEM INVOLVED (J. Spader, E. Stoltz) also on hand IT WAS CALLED "A KILLER IN THE FAMILY" (strong ***) HE MAY HAVE BEEN MORE VISCOUS THEN "HIS BUGS" PREACHER & MAYBE EVEN "MAN CADY?"
  21. His own favorite of approix (97) was 1957's "Heaven Knows Mr. Allyson" (***1/2) & as m,ost know he was only up for 1 *Oscar & in the supporting category for *"Wild Bill Wellman's 1945 "Story of G.I. Joe"-(losing to *James Dunn in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn") He later said "Hell, I Even Voted for *Jimmy Dunn" unquote Dick Cavett-(l935-) whom I really miss. Had him on a great interview-(TCM re-broadcast it & several others, including *Kate Hepburn, Hitch, *Brando & others. WHO SAAW THESE BY THE WAY? It was funny because someone off camera kept filling Bob's glass w/booze throughout & Cavett make the error of saying Mitchum won an *Oscar though He actually lost his & went temporarily blind & was always a huge insomniac. & lost his sight during WW11, mainly due to hating the job he had to get up & perform daily.
  22. And again to (Jakeem) do you know of *Streep's annual project? & without anyone looking it up first, name her #20 record nominations? It's a fairl;y easy one, like *"The Woodman's" record (18) writing nods to date as well? GIVE IT A TRY PLEASE & given last years massive Best picture upset *"Moonlight" ($27m.) (***1/2) stunningly upset over the highly favored "La La Land" ($170m.) (4 stars!) Most of my fellow *Oscar pundits forecasted the musical to sweep 7 to 9 as opposed to just 6) Probably the biggest BP upset since 1981's *"Chariots of Fire" ($58m.) (4 stars!) upset the predicted favorite "Reds" ($40m.) (****-stars!) & even "0n Golden Pond" ($118m.) (3 & 1/2) for "THE BIGGIE?" How many black performances have "Walked Down-the-Aisle" so-far??? A HINT (14-15 so far, but who?)
  23. WOW, that's strange, nobody even gave an opinion on these upcoming releases??? I kinda' knew though on here, though the ultimate movie website, most on here don't also really go to new films Still very surprising
  24. I agree it's technically perfecto! & though very early, is the likely frontrunner for *Academy awards such as BD-(Nolan), Cinematography, Film Editing & maybe 1 of the Sound races?
  25. NATALIE IN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING SHE DID. & though 1961's "Splendor in the Grass'-(nom.) is well known & she preferred it by far the best as well, as her mt. summit role For some reason I have an incredible fondness for her in "Inside Daisy Clover" (l965) & have seen it by far the most of her (46) theatrical films Also, *Tracy's Manuel Fedillo in 1937's ":C. Courageous" (MGM) Anoither is "Marvelous Michelle Pfeiffer" in '89'sd terrific "Fabulous Baker Boys"-(nommed) as **** ie Diamond
