No TAYLOR SWIFT?
No Ian McKellan, idris Elba, or Jennifer Hudson either.... and I was definitely expecting Elba to show up. Swift kind of escaped because her bit was only about 8 minutes long and that it mostly stood apart from the rest of the film.
Just now, LornaHansonForbes said:Also, I know the FIELD IS RICH for the RAZZIES , but I think awards should show some discipline and stick to five slots.
They are going to. Each of these will be toned down to five, these are just preliminary. But, I fully expect Cats to get into the final five on almost everything you see above since many had a field day with it. And Rebel Wilson will likely be double nommed in Leading and Sup[porting for The hustle and Cats.

Meryl Streep in one of my favorite of her performances.
I love that movie too. Not only is Meryl Streep brilliant in it, but also top-form Shirley MacLaine, and a hysterically funny cameo from Annette Bening. And the script is a dream.

LOL. I've never kept count. Yeah, I'm a boomer. (late period).
Fine by me. All that pretentious, nasty "OK Boomer" stuff is garbage anyway. (It's like a nastier version of the "Don't trust anybody Over 30" syndrome). People who have had more experience with life know more and are more reliable and often kinder people, at least in my experience.

I know what you mean. I can't claim that for myself (1995 was too late), but if i could, I would. i fit much more with a boomer/Gen X mindset than the one of my own generation.

It's OK! no harm done!Q I just happen to have taste in things that run older! I might be a millennial, but I have more of a baby boomer like way of looking at things. And its absolutely fine by me. Maybe having caught up with a little over 4000 films helps too......

Don't know if anybody else remembers this, but in addition to his writing and movie supporting roles, he had a funny guest spot on Murphy Brown, where he played a seemingly buttoned-down scientist who became a wild party animal when he attended a Washington society party. At one point offscreen, he was supposedly trying to dirty dance with Marilyn Quayle.

The thing about Hallmark is that given that so many of the Christmas films, and other ones are cookie cutters, its kind of sad to remember that Hallmark Hall of Fame films used to be a bit tougher. I mean they all still had happy endings, but do you really think that Hallmark films now would have the nerve they had back in 1992 when they did one film (O Pioneers with Jessica Lange and David Strathairn) where adulterous lovers were shot dead by an enraged husband and another (Miss Rose White with Kyra Sedgwick, Amanda Plummer, Maximillian Schell, and Maureen Stapleton) where a woman reveals under severe mental anguish that her mother and other family members were butchered in the Holocaust? I think not.

Recuperating from the flu is a great time to catch up on last months TCM recordings. TCM ran a documentary on cinematographers called THE IMAGE MAKERS that highlighted a few outstanding classic film photographers and explained for the viewer just what made them special.
I also recorded the 1989 movie THE BIG PICTURE right after. Directed by fave Chris Guest, this was a scathing look at "inside" Hollywood filmmaking that seems to have slipped under the radar. The story is the same old "sincere guy in Hollywood desperately trying to make a movie" against the backdrop of the phoniest people & situations. The only reason the thin story is kept entertaining is from all the fabulous performances of the ensemble cast-something Chris Guest has continued through his career of movies.
The movie stars Kevin Bacon who is very young, but wow-what a great actor-he carries the entire film as our likeable hero. Features such standout kooks as JT Walsh as a big Hollywood executive, Jennifer Jason Leigh as a film school artiste and Martin Short as the hilarious agent. Everyone is given great bits of BS business such as "climate control" and networking at lunch with a level of callousness only found in Hollywood. And the location shots of Hollywood really set the tone & feel. Mike McKean has a sort of bland role as the best friend, but sings the Pez People music video, shades of Spinal Tap breakout stardom.
Despite all the absurd nastiness, the nice guy prevails, keeping this a fun & entertaining film for anyone interested in how Hollywood really works.
it is a small, but funny film, and Bacon and Leigh really shine. Teri Hatcher's hair in her first scene is a laugh in itself. It made me think of a line from Crossing Delancey: "Oh, my dear! Your hair! It's about to take over the planet!" And also some of its observations about studio filmmaking still feel relevant today. They ended up being so when the film was made, because this project started filming at Columbia in the last two weeks of David Puttnam's 15 month tenure. (around August or September of 1987 to be exact). Puttnam had given the film the go-ahead, but the vast majority of the films he signed off on mostly ended up getting buried and were not so much released as let out the back door to die. (One won Best Picture though)
The films he brought to Columbia were this film, Someone to Watch Over Me, Housekeeping, Hope and Glory, The Last Emperor, Pulse, Things Change, Zelly and Me, Bloodhounds of Broadway, The Adventures of Milo and Otis, Eat a Bowl of Tea, Me and Him, Rocket Gibraltar, White Mischief, A Time of Destany, Stars and Bars, To Kill a Priest, Time of the Gypsies, The Big Town, School Daze, Hanuessen, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. These were all released from September of 1987 to January of 1990. The rest of the films handled by Columbia during that period were either given go-aheads by the previous regime (Vice Versa, True Believer, TheNew Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, Little Nikita, The Beast, Physical Evidence, Old G*r*i*n*g*o) or by Dawn Steel's short lived subsequent one (Immediate Family, Ghostbusters II, The Karate Kid Part III, Casualities of War)

Saw a 2019 release on HBO, and while I wasn't overly enamored with it, there was one thing I liked a lot about it. The Film was Us. As I wrote elsewhwere about it.....
Lupita Nyong'o is exceptional in the film, but its a pity that nothing else is up to her level. She is especially good as the double, "Red". Every syllable she utters in her dusty voice reflects years of neglect and rage boiling over, and its an astonishing sight. The rest though feels like a curiously played horror film, one that, except for her, seems to move at 3/4s time. It could definitely use a little nip, a tuck, some suction. Really, its a 90 minute premise swelled out to almost 2 hours, and the seams sometimes show. But a film with a magnetic performance can not be discounted, so in that regard, because of her, I'm glad I watched it.

Although I saw two films today (one on FXM and one on Watch TCM), I keep thinking a bit about having seen a large piece of Fiddler on the Roof again. (I've seen it many times). I feel that its a very important film at this time, rather an urgent film in the way that few other musicals (as delightful as they are, and it is one of my favorite genres) are. We're living at a time when anti-Sematism is on the upswing, and there is no understating how important a film like this showing the resilience of its Jewish characters in spite of pogoms, persecution, and poverty is. It also seems relevant with its commentary on living in troubled, confusing times. In other words, the story is timelessly affecting.....
