LOL. I was listening to Jace Everett singing "Bad Things" as this came up! Excellent timing!

Excellent suggestion! Only one question--how would they ever pick? By popularity? A sweepstakes sort of deal? Completely at random?

> I'm always shocked when people say the 2005 King Kong is better than the 1933. But that's just me!
The 2005 version was about an hour too long, but I think it conveyed the relationship between the girl and the ape more convincingly. In the original, the Ann Darrow character was just scared by King Kong and really didn't care if they captured him and took him back to put on display or not. In the 2005 version, she feels more affectionate towards him and is appalled by the treatment he recieves (though admitedly, she is glad to be rescued). She hears he's rampaging and comes out to meet him, hoping to calm him and save both him and the people who might get in his way and she's broken-hearted when he dies. (Fay Wray's Ann Darrow was just relieved that it was all over.) It makes both the girl and King Kong more sympathietic and real, I think. I actually cried when King Kong fell in the 2005 version.

Mark, thank you for your positive and enthusiastic threads! They are very refreshing.

I really get tired of these threads. The sheer number of these doom and gloom threads, along with the threads nitpicking each and every mistake Robert Osborne makes in his intros, makes it very hard to find anything worth reading on these boards. You all go on and on about how the TCM management doesn't care about the veiwers and their opinions, but if that is the case, why bother posting about it, if the people whio make the decisions don't care anyway?
Just sayin'.

> Have you even seen *Lured* or *The Dark Corner* ? Lucille Ball shows in both that she's been underrated as an actress. She's certainly no worse in them then, say, Greta Garbo was in any of her movies. (Not that that's saying much.)
RE Lucy (and not Garbo's talent):
I agree. Lucille Ball was very underrated as an actress. I just think that RKO didn't know what to do with her. The few times they did actually let her act, she did an excellent job. She's also very good as the woman of questionable virtue in Five Came Back and as the self-centered singer in The Big Street.
Lured is a lot of fun--there's some funny dialogue, especially between Lucy and the police detective a demented cameo from Boris Karloff and a decidedly creepy performance by Cedric Hardwicke. George Sanders is nicely ambiguous as Lucy's love interest/possible serial killer.

Of course some people almost deserve to be corrected in public...

> Usually, I don't go to see them. A recent exception to that is TRUE GRIT which I not only saw, but thoroughly enjoyed, although I saw it as more of a new interpretation of the book than a remake of the original film. A new version of THE THIN MAN won't take anything away from the original and perhaps will cause an increased interest in it by people who might not ordinarily be inclined to watch it, which might get them into other films of that era.
I was thinking that myself. Whenever one of these remakes is done, usually a comparison to the original is made, which may renew interest in classic films and actors and that is a good thing.

I wonder how often that happens. Perhaps members could respond to a new poster's meaning and enthusiasm rather than their grammar, spelling etc? Or if you must be a stickler, maybe send a private message instead of humiliating the poster in public, so to speak? It really doesn't hurt to be nicer.

Johnny Depp wants to remake The Thin Man. He's already got a director (Rob Marshal) and a writer (Jerry Stahl). Now normally, I am not one of those people who gets all bent out of shape over remakes--sometimes it's interesting to see a new director or actor's take on a film. And I like Johnny Depp. But this is The Thin Man, one of my favorite movies, period! I don;t know what to think.

Add him. He was very good as the callow youth trying to make it--reminded me a little of an English version of Montgomery Clift in "A Place in the Sun." Simone Signoret was amazing as the older woman.

I wonder if Hollywood just figured/figures that audiences won;t know the difference? I mean, a lot of American don't even recognize the accents from around their own country, let alone telling the difference between various British accents or Russian vs Polish.
