film lover 293 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 IF you're planning to watch "Exorcist II: The Heretic" (1977), go to TCM's webpage for the film and click on "Alternate Versions" and "Theatrical Aspect Ratio". AV because there are three versions according to the Webpage, and the "Durations" in minutes, feet, and Reels are all left blank; you may want to know what you will/won't be seeing. TAR because as I read it, some versions will have horizontal bars above and below the image, or image may be cropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Sunday, April 10 noon. Lifeboat (1944). Don’t mess with Tallulah! 12:30 a.m. The Extra Girl (1923). This Mabel Normand silent looks interesting. 2:45 a.m. Death of a Cyclist (1955). I’ve read good things about this Juan Antonio Bardem film. He’s Javier Bardem’s uncle by the way. 4:15 a.m. Peppermint Frappe (1967). I have yet to see this Carlos Saura film. These are two highlights of the month for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LornaHansonForbes Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 IF you're planning to watch "Exorcist II: The Heretic" (1977), go to TCM's webpage for the film and click on "Alternate Versions" and "Theatrical Aspect Ratio". AV because there are three versions according to the Webpage, and the "Durations" in minutes, feet, and Reels are all left blank; you may want to know what you will/won't be seeing. So long as they show my absolute favorite scene in the movie, I'm fine with whatever version it is. The scene I am referring to being the one where Richard Burton's deranged priest forces Louise Fletcher's dour psychologist to concede to the existence of the demon and he forces her into saying the name "Pazuzu" out loud. It is awesome because Fletcher had won the Best Actress Oscar, like two years earlier and was clearly expecting a higher quality and caliber of films to be following, this one obviously was not one of those. And of course at this point in his career Richard Burton was more or less a punchline giving one incredible performance in a decent movie for every 12 awful performances in awful movies. And when she finally does utter the word "Pazuzu" out loud, you can just sense the disgust in her voice, like she's trying to refuse to admit this movie is a piece of crap, and Burton (who by this time totally knew that every movie he was signing onto was totally a piece of crap and was just trying to pay the whiskey bills) is like the emperor from Star Wars trying to force her to embrace the dark side.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dir: Carlos Saura C-94 mins, Letterbox Format anyone familiar with these? I can provide only my personal taste and opinion. Neither of these are to my taste. I will not go so far as to say that they are a waste of time but I find them wanting. I feel that both of these stories could be quite moving and powerful but J. A. Bardem is not: A. Hitchcock and: C. Saura is not: L. Buñuel. If I were forced to recommend one then it would be: Peppermint Frappé (1967) as it has some interesting moments despite the director's best efforts to make them bland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedya Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 One Man's Journey is excellent. In addition to Barrymore and May Robson, there's Joel McCrea as Barrymore's son; Frances Dee as McCrea's fiancée; Dorothy Jordan as the foster daugher Barrymore raises when her mother dies in childbirth; and underrated character actor David Landau as Jordan's biological father. The movie was out of sight for decades because it was one of six for which the rights were given to Merian C. Cooper as part of his severance package from RKO; TCM got the rights to them about a decade ago. The movie was remade as A Man to Remember with Edward Ellis in the Barrymore role, but the remake is nearly sunk by Dalton Trumbo's didactic screenplay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregoryPeckfan Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Love One Man's Journey. Truly an underrated film of Barrymore's. Lionel Barrymore is my favourite among the siblings and I have to say that I am loving the spotlight. Either I am watching movies new to me or seeing new to-me films.

GregoryPeckfan Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 There are films I have not seen, favourite films I have not seen in years and favourite films I watch all the time. The Barrymores -all siblings - fall into these categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 You know what I love? People who never answer any of my posts except to make fun of my typing skills. What a boring life they lead. Seemed like a pertinent question to me - nothing at all to do with typing. More to do with trying to understand what the difference is between "watching movies new to me" and "seeing new-to-me films". Perhaps you were indicating that there's a difference between a movie and a film? Or perhaps "watching" and "seeing". If misswonderly hadn't asked "what's the difference?", I'm pretty sure I would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If misswonderly hadn't asked "what's the difference?", I'm pretty sure I would have. There is no difference at all. I messed up then went off and did not read until after I was quoted.But I do get the idea that sometimes there are a couple of people who only quote me when I make a mistake as supposed to people who answer me all the time. Not a big deal, really, since we Canadians all have free health care. I did not quote Miss W. I quoted myself and answered it. I meant to write that some are new to me, some I love and have seen often and some I saw once a long time ago and would like to see again. I made fun of my own typing in 20th century vole.

Perhaps you were indicating that there's a difference between a movie and a film? Or perhaps "watching" and "seeing". I believe that an argument could be made that there is distinct difference between: watching a movie for the first time even although you have known of it for a long time and: seeing for the first time that there is a movie of which you were not aware of its existence. She has explained the foible of the post but I do not wish to pass up opportunity to argue as I am disagreeable person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor little GregoryPeckFan...Why do you construe everything I post to you as an insult? As darkblue said, I was genuinely trying to ascertain the difference between "movies new to me and new to me films". I thought perhaps I'd missed something. I truly did not think what you wrote was the result of a typing error. Typos ( and for that matter, spellos) are mistakes I make here quite often; I harbour no disdainful feelings towards others who also make them. Sometimes I even suffer from brainos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when I feel disagreeable and you can tell by the post I made that I was in a disagreeable mood when I first read that comment and then decided why should I care? I never passed up an opportunity to argue with my late father. So I just decided to write a new script in Vole about typewriters, Ray Milland and dubbed singing. And you are quite right about the fact that some movies have long been on my to-see list and others I had no idea they existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryPeckfan Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 For the record, regarding the Lionel Barrymore movies tonight: in order that they air in Canada 1)I've heard of One Man's Journey but never seen it 2)I saw Treasure Island years ago 3) I saw Young Dr. Kildare years ago 4) I saw Key largo very recently. It is my favourite of Barrymore's movies and I watch it several times a year 5)and 6) These two Kildare movies I am recording overnight I saw years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryPeckfan Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 In any case regarding the last few posts, if I managed to insult MissWonderly I apologize. None of us need any enemies. I prefer to make satire posts. I had a long conversation with my neighbour today who is turning 14 this month and his class finished watching The Outsiders and he was feeling sad about the state of the world. I am part of the group of people involved in "It takes a village to raise a child." But I have no idea what I would do trying to raise a child today. Where are my Monty Python videos?
