Re: Best Supporting Actor Shouldabeens

So maybe gathering lists of nominees is a rational, analytical process – made by the head, if you may, but when the picking of the ultimate favorite is made, as is rather clear at times from rummaging through your list here, other body parts have their say too. (The heart, I meant the heart – what ...

Re: R.I.P. Rhonda Fleming

Actually, I'll stop posting altogether. I don't think anybody has ever been that rude to in over 20 years on this board. I appreciate everybody is going through very difficult times, particularly in the US with the damage that Trump has inflicted onto the country but I refuse so take a putdown like ...

Re: R.I.P. Rhonda Fleming

"Actress who appeared in Spellbound and Out of the Past" is as bad as Variety's "Queen of Technicolor who appeared in Spellbound". Noted. I'll stop posting on this thread. To be perfectly honest I'm not that familiar with Rhonda Fleming and there is no need to be so rude to me j...

Re: Coming DVDs

Their May/June edition of Film Comment was digital only and I didn't even bother looking at it. I have not been happy with a number of the changes that Nicolas Rapold (recently appointed editor) has made so I'm going to stop buying the magazine. I'll email them to let them know not to bother sendin...

Re: Coming DVDs

I'd consider upgrading The Ascent to Blu Ray but I already have two of the Bunuel's on Blu Ray so I'll live in hope that The Phantom Liberty will get a stand alone release somewhere at some point. Whilst not in relation to DVDs/Blu Rays but a little relevant to this thread as earlier in the year the...

Re: R.I.P. Conchata Ferrell

The DVD was released by Hen's Tooth Video in 2000. That's a deal breaker for me as the price is simply no worth it so I'll have to hold out for a possible restoration.

Re: R.I.P. Conchata Ferrell

I saw it at the first Sydney Film Festival I attended in 1980. According to imdb it was released in April 1981 which is probably correct as I do recall a commercial release sometime after the festival screening. I don't think it ever received a DVD release anywhere.

Re: R.I.P. Conchata Ferrell

She was excellent in Heartland which I just had the opportunity to see a couple of months ago. Certainly more deserving of a nomination that year than someone like Marsha Mason in Chapter Two . And, of course, is very memorable in Network . “The running characters are a crusty-but-benign ex-Supreme...

Re: Soul reviews

Hollywood Reporter also enthusiastic. It may be something I could use, but, since I don't subscribe to Disney+, it's not going to be something I get to see. This year continues to suck in so many ways. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/soul-film-review-london-2020 Tee, I'm surprised there are ...

Re: R.I.P. Helen Reddy

Great review from Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian of I Am Woman. Great as in he nails a lot of what is wrong with this film in just four paragraphs:
