Could we start calling posts on twitter as "twits' rather than "tweets", as in Once a twit, always a twit?

The DVD set is due next week: https://www.moviesunlimited.com/fosse-verdon-complete-first-season-fosseverdon/024543636588 (I really wish they would release Feud.....)

I really think that all of this is worse than Fox than the combined forces of Cleopatra, Doctor Doolittle, Star, Hello Dolly, and Tora Tora Tora were back in the day.

Don't expect to see any more Fox films at revival houses in big cities...... http://m.startribune.com/with-fox-movies-in-hand-disney-clamps-down-on-theater-screenings-of-oldies/540434592/?fbclid=IwAR1-28jnqj75vNkolPoL5x7WtVi6cWBDeEdy2GjDlyp2SkNEKGYAYCNA8Eo

Bette decided to shake Miriam rather than using the pitchfork.... It always struck me as odd that in the remake they had the leads have a tug of war over a teddy bear that ripped open instead of the shaking, arguably the best known scene in the original film.

True. It's kind of like the titles for two of the Brosnan films Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day. Both could have been used for many other thrillers over the years.

My 9 favorite film books that I have.... '

I like the way they stylized the title.... and yet I think its a pretty bland title for a Bond film. Most titles in the series have had flashier titles than this.

3 days left to vote! don't miss the opportunity!

Will do!

List on Letterboxd with all the films coming to the Criterion Channel in September... https://letterboxd.com/chrissweet1967/list/films-premiering-on-the-criterion-channel-2/?fbclid=IwAR2RmNZIlVihhdhrLxawqY7Tje_3TppGtwr5jpsBJaS-YNxBBU3ibQbeC3E I do wish that the John Schlesinger block (Billy liar, Darling, Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Marathon Man, and H0nky Tonk Freeway) had also included Far from the Madding Crowd, The Day of the Locust, Yanks, and Madame Sousatzka, all overlooked and underrated.

Agreed.

It does seem strange that this film was never released on VHS or DVD. After all, Patty won a Golden Globe for it, and although it wasn't a big box-office hit, most who have seen it remember it very fondly.

I guess I'm an abnormality then. I'm a millennial who has seen over 3,750 films, and the vast majority (74.6%) were first shown before I was born. Just a little less than half of everything I've seen predates 1970.... so maybe that's why I was a bit peeved by the flashings of names, because I knew who they were. But I know my taste is not like others my age.

My favorite scene is Sylvia Miles' scene of indignation early on in the film.

They definitely didn't do it in the ones from the 70s onward. i missed the 60s one.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood's trailer made me cry. Always a great sign. Cats, I didn't know what to make of the portions I saw. Didn't see the others.

I saw part of this finale. I fully expected it to be mostly the old standbys and that is what it was, but, if anything, the thing that disturbed me most was that whenever they had a bit lengthier a film clip, they would flash the names of the leads in the scene, as if nobody knew who they would be if they didn't flash the names, a concession to people who don't watch many classics. I guess I could understand for maybe Joan Blondell but for Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Vivien Leigh, Bela Lugosi, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Garland, and Greta Garbo as well? Kind of humiliating..... I think only John Wayne and maybe barbara Stanwyck were spared that.

They did. I saw part of the finale, and it was definitely there.....

Two more coming to Blu-Ray

I liked the film and stayed up to watch it and High Wide and handsome. I have to wonder if Columbia holds the rights to it today, despite being done at Universal. Columbia made the remake and the Screen Gems logo appeared at the end of the film.

Lilith! Oh yes, he was exceptional in that. That whole film was very underrated. Quite risque for 1964. Warren Beatty, that might be his finest performance, and Jean Seburg was at her best too. Also really early appearances from Gene Hackman, Jessica Walter, and Olympia Dukakis (unbilled). Would be nice if it turned up on TCM someday.
