He looks like a Neanderthal in Brylcream and the characters he plays are just so unlikeable. Yet he was the leading man in so many early 30's movies.

Epically bad remakes that I have seen: The Women (1939) vs The Women (2008): Original--sharp, witty, fun, satirical Remake--dull, politically correct (more or less) and smug. But really nice shoes, though... Mr Deeds Goes to Town 1936 vs Mr Deeds (2002): Adam Sandler is going straight to hell for this one... Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) vs Guess Who? (2005): Ashton Kutcher. Enough said. Psycho (1960) vs Psycho (1998): begs the question: Why? The Haunting (1963) vs The Haunting (1999): expensive special effects do not take the place of good acting and direction

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant--great onscreen, but just buddies offscreen Doris Day and Rock Hudson--ditto

Maybe I hallucinated this, but wasn't there a thread somewhere to share photos on? I was looking through some of my old books and realized I have half a dozen on photography in Hollywood, with many unusual pictures of our favorite stars (or at least pics I haven't seen 150 times in books and elsewhere). I didn't want to start a new thread if there was an existing one...

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote} > I disagree about Sullavan, especially in THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER. Best comic performance by an actress, EVER! And also a bit horsey looking. I have a picture of her all dolled up and glamorous and it just doesn't work. She looks like an unattractive drag queen. She's one actress who needs her smile. I hope she did that photo shoot becasue the studio made her and not because she wanted to. Good commedic actress, but definitely not glamorous. Some actresses just don't. Too wholesome or ordinary looking.

We kids didn't mind, we weren't given any homework on that or any other subject for a month. If you don;t mind me asking, how old were you then? Did you get what it was about or was it just fun time? LOL

There were a lot of Canadians - and not just young ones - who were against the American involvement in Vietnam. I was born in 1965, so I was just old enough to notice as the war wound down in the early 70's. But I didn't. My parents were very very careful of us--they didn't watch the 6:00 news if we were int he room and we were in bed long before the 11:00 news. Maybe if I had older siblings or cousins who were drafted or something, it would have had more impact. But I don;t remember anyone ever talking about it. Weird. I do however remember Watergate, though I had no idea at the time what it was all about.

> {quote:title=TikiSoo wrote:}{quote} > First THE WOMEN, now MILDRED PIERCE. Oy. > The remake of The Women did not work for me. I liked the original a lot and had high hopes, but...no. The only character who held my attention was Cloris Leachman as the housekeeper. The whole thing was basically a group of ultra-rich women wallowing in angst for a while, then "finding" themsleves, which leads to happiness. And really nice clothes. Actually a lot like "Sex and the City", except without the sex.

Most of the reviews Ive read seem positive, but some of them complain that it's too long, though they praise the acting and Stephen King has the audacity to complain that it's too dark and depressing. It's supposed to follow the original book; apparently the book contained scenes deemed unfilmable in 1945 (but not of course in 2011...)
