seeing it in 2 weeks & said by all to be Clint's best in years, even though he of course is not ion it. He swore after UNFORGIVEN he'd never do another Western & hasn't, but also said he'd not star again in one of his projects after GRAN TORINIO & obviously has (THE MULE)
Even though this is likely well-made don't count on it garnering any Oscar attention, the boat seems full & Oscar victor Kathy Bates already has some Oscar buzz
seeing it tomorrow

Will likely garner the 2nd most Oscar noms after The Irishman

No, I think I missed where you posted this. What are your favorite holiday/Christmas movies? Also, I see where you mentioned something about old radio programs. Those are always fun to listen to. We get a holiday program here on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They play Jack Benny and other familiar shows and old radio adaptations of holiday movies.
Merry Christmas, Spence🎅

Yep, as far as we know, Bing was born in Tacoma and spend his formative years in Spokane.
And Elvis, contrary to what spence also stated earlier, had no Navajo Indian antecedents, but instead the possibility of a Cherokee one.
(...his great-great-grandmother who was named Morning Dove White)
Dargo, your correct again

The Florida Film Critics Circle selected the French period piece "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" as its Best Picture of 2019. Directed by France's Céline Sciamma, the film -- set in the 18th-century -- details a taboo affair between two women (Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, pictured below) on an island near Brittany.
Sciamma, whose screenplay was a winner at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, was named Best Director by the Florida critics' organization. "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" also was selected as the Best Foreign Language Film.
Also receiving three awards was "Marriage Story" for cast members Adam Driver (Best Actor), Scarlett Johansson (Best Actress) and Laura Dern (Best Supporting Actress).

Btw here, Jeanne. I do believe you were bereft in your exclusion of a particular line said by actor Todd Karns as Harry Bailey, and which would be the reward or payoff line to the entire proceedings, and which is absolutely guaranteed to bring the biggest lump in the throats and a few sniffles to those who stick it out for the entire 3 hour NBC telecast (including all those damn commercials)...
