Dargo Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Gotta say here Yancey that with the photo still you selected to use to express your apparent dismay with this movie, AND considering the history our trigger-happy moderator corps have around here, I'm wondering how long it'll take for this thread about There's That Woman Again becoming more a "Where's That Thread Again?" kind'a thing!

yanceycravat Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 I actually enjoyed the movie. It's no THIN MAN but it's entertaining enough with great supporting actors. The kind of movie from the period which isn't a classic but entertains none the less. And, no, it's not photo-shopped!!! Flipping the bird is an age-old 1st Amendment right!

Dr. Somnambula Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I might get into trouble for posting the same thing by Johnny Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it seemed to me as if you were making a commentary of the overall quality of this film, Yancey.

Hibi Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 What was she referring to by doing that? I'm sure she had a different meaning! Virginia Bruce was another Hollywood player who never quite made it to the big leagues. She had the talent though. (and definitely the beauty). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanceycravat Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 In context of the film, it's a moment when Virginia Bruce remembers why she tied a string around her finger. As older people might recall, tying a string around your finger was a way to remind yourself of something important you had to do. I suspect very few people, if any, do that anymore. They just schedule a reminder on their phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibi Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 LOL! OK. I remember that saying, but I don't remember any adults doing it (as far back as I remember) How would you remember what it was anyway? Doesn't seem too reliable..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will show up again. But it's a Columbia picture so it may be a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was part of the story line. She basically remembers after the fact but is delighted to realize why she tied the string in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...but then afterwards always seem to forget to re-tie that sucker back on my finger...oh the irony, huh) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmovieviewer Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The original post sums up the way I feel about the quality of the Sony Pictures video provided to TCM for presentation today. Because of an apparent frame rate/scanning issue, portions of the video become blurry whenever there is significant motion in the movie. This most noticeably results in vertical lines in the image looking like spaghetti. For example, here is a frame showing the blur: You can see how multiple images are bleeding together in the video rather than scanning each frame individually. Here’s an approximation of what the frame should look like: I felt like I had another form of heebie-jeebies after watching today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
