I liked Meg until she cheated on Dennis and then got her lips done. She hasn’t been around in awhile.
Romper Stomper was intense.
There’s more to filmmaking then acting (more obviousness coming at you). Editors, sound mixers, composers...you can’t fake it.
Question. If an American film is made in Spanish, is it a foreign language film?
It’s not “foreign film,” it’s “foreign language film.” ;)
funny.
Foriegn language films have to be submitted by the country they’re from.
A couple of the foreign language films looked pretty interesting.
I guess when I think “MOVIE STAR” Meg Ryan and Hugh Grant just don’t leap to mind as quickly as Joan Crawford and John Wayne.
Sheesh what a bunch of forgettable songs.
Interesting. Did they have to change the name or has it always been that way? I don’t know why they add “language.”
Who is this singer? He’s making my eyeballs kinda hurt.
According to Marlene Dietrich’s daughter, Dietrich had an affair with Piaf. The daughter hated her and called her a French guttersnipe.
That’s true!!!
Tom has a step-dad ... can’t recall his name at the moment. Real dad has been out of the picture since childhood, I believe. Cruise’s first wife, Mimi Rogers, got him into Scientology. Mom, Mary Lee, is a loon, IMHO. LOVES attention.
I was in the lounge at the Shrine. Melissa (little house) walked in and was very talkative and pleasant. It is fun when they are that way. I ran into Doris Day way back in the 70’s at NBC 4 burbank. her skin looked really dry back then.
My husband just told me it’s the music from Dragonheart? He found it and played it for me...and crap he’s right. Hell I never even heard of the movie..hahaha
Yah. I agree.
HAY Travolta just slipped on the stage like Colin Farrell.
Vinnie Barbarino!!!
I was wondering if he did that on purpose.
