Not to mention Rear Window. I hate De Palma when he does Hitchcock hommages. Except for Obsession, which I sorta love if only because it gives a lead role to the criminally under-appreciated Genevieve Bujold.
I love Genevieve Bujold. I've got to see Obsession!
Make sure to stock up on No Doz first. |

Not to bring this enlightening 70s film conversation back on topic, BUT:
Quote: Tideland
Preview screening with Terry Gilliam in person
Monday, October 2, 7:30 p.m.
2005, 122 mins., 35mm. Directed by Terry Gilliam. With Jodelle Ferland, Jeff Bridges. Terry Gilliam’s boldest film to date, set in a barren rural landscape, is a shocking and beautifully photographed low-budget adaptation of Mitch Cullin’s novel. The film takes us inside the mind of an eleven-year-old girl who develops a fantasy life to escape the abuse of her junkie father. Gilliam will participate in a Pinewood Dialogue following the screening. Tickets: $22 public/$16 Museum members. Buy Tickets Online
There's no way I can make this, unfortunately, but thought I'd pass along the info.

Ava Gardner playing Lorne Green's daughter (she was only a couple of minutes younger than him in real life).
Just checked: If Gardner were Green's daughter in reality, he would have been a six-year-old dad. |

Yeh, but the actress playing Cary Grant's mother in North By Northwest was actually a year younger than he was, and Angela Lansbury was only three years older than Laurence Harvey when she played his mother in The Manchurian Candidate.
The magic of movies! |

I never knew that. From wikipedia
Quote: All 9 Lassies have been male, playing a female character. The female collie loses her coat at least once a year making it unsuitable for use year round. Also, the male is larger and a child actor can play opposite the dog for a longer period of time. |

| Bugs Bunny was not really a talking rabbit. He was actually played by a human cartoon character in costume. |

A.O.Scott on All the King's Men :
"Nothing in the picture works. It is both overwrought and tedious, its complicated narrative bogging down in lyrical voiceover, long flashbacks and endless expository conversations between people speaking radically incompatible accents" |

I'll be really interested in Tim's reaction to All the King's Men. I haven't seen it, so for all I know Sean Penn is great in it, but in terms of critical reaction he's been receiving what are arguably the worst reviews of his entire career (with the possible exception of Shanghai Surprise).
To be scrupulously honest, most of the bad reviews blame it on Penn's egregious miscasting--which was obvious to me even before seeing the disastrous trailer. |

And I'm sure your speaking from personal experience.

The confessional is two doors to the right. |
