Re: Cannes 2024
It's a refined horror movie. Did you not get the references to Dorian Gray, The Shining, and The Fly? 1) "Audacious, and Insanely Gross Body Horror Masterpiece" -- that's the headline of the IndieWire review "Grisly Body Horror Caper" -- Guardian headline How do you get "re...

Re: Cannes 2024
The thing working in Demi's favor here would be that her film/role's subtext is to some extent exactly what Sabin is talking about here: the discarding of babe actresses when they age out of what-gets-male-execs-and-audiences-hot. Beyond that...Magilla, are you on uppers or something? Did you not ge...

Mister Tee wrote The buzziest title so far appears to be Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez: Looks like a love it/hate it film. David Ehrlich has it at a C+ but describes it as "not unmemorable." Still plenty to go but if enough people love it but unless something else knocks their socks off ...

Re: R.I.P. Roger Corman
Very few people in the history of the movie industry have had a better eye for talent than Roger Corman did. On the night of the Oscars for 1974, when Jack Nicholson unexpectedly lost best actor to Art Carney, Corman jokingly said to him, You son of a bitch, you kept me from a clean sweep -- noting...

Re: It's way too long since we had a quiz
I've been busy this week, and regret the whole thing was resolved before I had a chance to put my mind to it.
Thanks for posting it, Uri. By the way, it's looks like you never opened a private message I sent you a few months back. It's still sitting there, FYI.

Re: Civil War reviews
I, too, would like to know what it was Wells posted. It'd have to be something from literally the last few minutes of the film to be spoiler-ific (something of which Wells is quite capable; he posted the fate of a major character in Brokeback Mountain days after the film's release). Addressing my is...

Re: Dune, Part 2
I've been meaning to write about this for several weeks, but somehow never got around to it. As someone who was pretty enthusiastic about the initial film, I have to admit to being a bit let down by this (especially with all the "better than the first" hype I'd heard). It's not that Villen...

Re: The 2024 Tony Awards
I don't know I've ever felt as ignorant on the musical side. Several of the nominees I'd barely heard of prior to the nominations run-up. None of them got exactly bad reviews, but few were greeted with major enthusiasm (Illinoise, chiefly a dance show, I'm told, probably had the strongest reviews). ...

Challengers reviews
Okay, given the involvement of Luca Guadagnino, I should have had my eye on this a bit more. But it's a tennis movie, and I never anticipated reviews this good. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/challengers-review-zendaya-josh-oconnor-mike-faist-luca-guadagnino-1235870986/ https...

Re: Best Supporting Actor 1961
Steiger is so natural (all right: un-hammy) he's hardly recognizable as the same actor.

Re: 2024 Governors Awards
Genuine question: when you compare the length of time a host like Bob Hope takes vs Jimmy Kimmel, is it genuinely that much different? Probably not, but the whole production number that goes along with the host's opening monologue before the first award is handed out takes more time than it did in ...

Re: R.I.P. Joe Flaherty
SCTV is a big blind spot for me. The sense I got is that it was the most respected and creative late night comedy show in contrast to the more boisterous SNL of the late 70's and the downfall early 80's. On the possibility you're interested, an "it's a bit more complicated than that" shor...
