Buffy ,'Chosen'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
but it's certainly got its gender-trouble
Not to mention the infamous bath house scene between Olivier and Tony Curtis.
And Jean Simmons!
Damn right! I think Simmons was one of the hottest women in Hollywood in her prime. Not only was she drop-dead gorgeous with a smokin' body, she was an intelligent, classy performer, and sadly, I don't think Hollywood knew what to do with her mix of sensuality and refinement. She was difficult to pigeonhole.
I love EWS, and the idea that it was in a rough state is utterly ludicrous, especially given how long it took to get it to the state it was in when Kubrick showed it to the studio. The idea that an actor pushed around Kubrick is equally bugnuts. Todd Field has directly contradicted Ermey's claim, which pretty much puts it at he said-she said, but I find Ermey's claims to be not even credible on their face.
DAMMIT. I just realized that I lent out my copy of Dr. Strangelove to someone, and I forgot who, and now I'll never get it back. Bollocks.
Put it on your Christmahannukwanzakah/birthday/wish list. That's how I got my copy of Invader Zim Vol.1 back. Turned out my brother had it.
Dean Man Walking
Someone's been waching too much Supernatural...
Ha! And you know, those two keys aren't even on the same side of the keyboard.
Bon bon, you are brave to contradict R. Lee Ermey. He could tell me that the world is flat and that history's greatest filmmaker is Michael Bay and I would holler, "SIR YES SIR!"
Hey, Vonnie, I think the Kubrick guy you're talking about was that asshat Merrwit. Haven't heard from him in years.
In other news, am I the only one who's slightly weirded out that Angelina Jolie is playing Mariane Pearl with a tan and an afro wig?

What? Is blackface now unfashionable?
Here's the logic I heard: Angelina is part French; Mariane is part French.
I'm never in here, because I never get to see movies.
Dr. Strangelove and Casablanca are in my top 5 along with Blazing Saddles, Destry Rides Again and PCU.
Also y'all should see this. It's got 2 of the people from MI 5 and Wash [link]
Peter Dinklage!
I watched Threshold entirely for him.
