Right on about Coolidge! Everything I have seen her is has been a delight. Her Best In Show was wonderful. She seems to have found a niche in films. I hope she is allowed to grow in parts and not just be a one-dimensional comic diversion. *** Edited By cam on 1196020427

LIke Damien, I have no idea who my character is(Professor Fitwick?) Sounds pretty dim.

OK.OK. My feeling re Swank and "feminine" roles: so far she hasn't succeeded in making a romantic ( female character)name for herself. Think of the dogs she has been in since her Oscars. I do not consider her a versatile actress yet. YET. So she has some Oscars. Unusually demanding roles ...

In today's elections, in Australia, Bush-crony Howard dumped by opposition Labour. Beginning of the end?

I will add Mirren and Tom Wilkinson to the list of who will be back.
Swank won two Oscars by playing parts that were not the least feminine. I don't think she could win in a "female" role. Tomei's last nomination was a fluke, I think.

No The film It's Always Fair Weather, which was about 1955-6, and was eerily similar to On the Town , featured the three sailors singing drunkenly singing The Time For Parting. I have this version in a file somewhere, but could never find David Rose's version( a very serious one) which I had on 78,...

Off the topic a bit: Damien - I think your poem was a song that was popular in the early fifties - and recorded then and later by Sinatra, Eddy Arnold(the hit version), Mathis and Como( particularly) among others and used as a nightly sign-off for several radio stations. I still hear the tune. Anot...

Maybe it will be like Jose Ferrer in the original Moulin Rouge. I remember as a kid marvelling that he was able to move around on his knees, and how it must have hurt. He did not get nominated, though.

I agree. Cotillard really made the film, and without her, the film would have have been no better than ordinary. But lots of ordinary-- even BAD-- films have won Oscars for their leads: Think of Training Day( without Washington) or Three Faces Of Eve (without Woodword). There are dozens of examples...

Personally, I am delighted to see Nicole Kidman there. I have never liked her performances, thinking that she is "TOO aware of Nicole" and not concentrating on her characters enough. And you can HAVE Brad Pitt. I think this man, whoever he is, is onto both of them.

A science fiction film from the fifties that I watch whenever it is on--even in the middle of the night--for a big laugh: "Them!" made in about 1954, a story of giant ants crawling in the LA Aqueducts, mutated by bomb tests in the desert--starred James Arness and Edmund Gwenn, I recall. S...
