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.

Me too. There used to be a Zodiac Club bar in SF with the same back bar painting.

Someday I will have a cat named Pywackett. Someday. (Pete vetoed it for either of the boykitties.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We Instant Watched The Great Race off Netflix last night, and it set up an instant craving for BB&C. Unfortunately, our cable tier is weirdly packaged, and TCM isn't on it. Off to Netflix!

As much as I love it, though, I do think it's one that could take a remake, and a fairly faithful one, at that.

A pair! Pyewackett and Grimalkin!
...and a second pair: Hepzibah and Mehitabel. Those names only work for me in those pairs. Dunno why.

TGR was a favorite of mine for a long time. H has a fondness for Natalie Wood, and I've liked her in a bunch of things. All the performances seem to hold up well, except for Wood's. She's very much a product of her time, fitting into that era of movie making like a chameleon. From this vantage point, she's very mannered and artificial, even in other, meatier roles. It's sad to see. I wonder at the performances she'd have given into her fifties and sixties, had she lived.
OTOH, Ross Martin! Always a favorite, and in his prime, here. He made the evil baron more than caricature, human, even likeable, with a handful of scenes and lines.
