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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Holy shit, I'm watching TCM and they're showing the trailer for The Lady Eve right now. It is, of course, fucking great.
In The Lady Eve I love how Fonda seems like he's from an entirely different movie. He just plays it so incredibly straight and gets bounced around to great comic effect.
Who couldn't like it? It's got Barbara Stanwyck in a tiara!

I'm still kind of hot for the bitchy, older brunette sister.

Now is when I admit to the highly unpopular, I don't much like Katherine Hepburn.

I think much of why I don't love TLE or BUB is that the guys don't work in those roles for me (as much as I love both Grant and Fonda in almost anything else).

I think I prefer later Kate Hepburn over her earliest work. Except for Stage Door--she was terrific in that. But her best performance was in Lion in Winter.

I like Kate a lot, but I love Barbara Stanwyck, Jean Arthur and Irene Dunne.
Also, I have to once again pimp The Vivacious Lady with Ginger Rogers. Best Slap Fight Ever.

Poor sad drunk Neddie. He breaks my heart. Linda got out, Julia's got her own brand of cold resilience, but you just know that family would completely destroy Ned. Poor puppy.
One of my favourite screwball comedies I haven't seen mentioned yet: The More the Merrier. Jean Arthur! Joel McCrea! Charles Coburn! "You've been shushing me for 22 months now. You've shushed your last shush!"

Oh no! Tim Burton's Secret Formula is horribly accurate.
