Just asking. Any opinions on the movie?......
If you’d have seen the movie, you’d say ‘Gayme of Moans’.......
Wasn’t it written by his ex-boyfriend? The one Matt Damon played?
Yes, it was based on the book he wrote, so it may be a little ‘Mommy, Dearest’ biased........
It was hilarious. But then I’m not a Micheal Douglas fan.
I love Littlefinger. He has the best line of the series so far. When he said to Sansa. “Look around you. We are all liars and we are better at it than you.” I also loved the verbal joust that he and Varys had over foiling each other’s plans in “The Climb” episode towards the end. That was an awesome scene and some great acting. The metaphor of the realm and the iron throne with 10 thousand swords was awesome. Then they moved onto “Chaos is a ladder” and Littlefinger’s metaphor there. That was good stuff.
About the only character I don’t like is Sansa. I don’t consider her the beauty everyone else seems to think and I think she’s very wooden in her delivery....
I cringe every time I see that stupid comment. If you don’t watch TV why are you commenting on a TV show? Jeeze!
Yep, in an interview, Charlton Heston once said that all the Hollywood in crowd of that era new that Rock Hudson was gay and he made little secret of it. Heston even talked about some movie shoot they were on together and how Hudson was escorting a constant stream of young male "fans" back to his trailer between every scene.
That episode of “Batman” was shown on the “ME TV” network on Saturday evening. Liberace played a world reknowned pianist named “Chandell” who was blackmailed into a life of crime by his evil twin brother “Harry.” This two part episode had the highest viewership of all the episodes of the series.
Liberace never hid his homosexuality. He never discussed it, but anybody that saw more than 60 seconds of his shows and didn’t think he was gay was simply in denial. He was as open about it as a person can be without actually saying the words.
I think that Black and Decker is pwned by DeWalt or maybe DeWalt is pwned by Black and Decker. ;-)
I saw it. I know that there a lot of huge Liberace fans on FR. I have some news for you, that guy was really gay.
The public knew about Hudson, I was surprised to learn about it in 1961, but then I was only a little boy, it was common knowledge among the grown ups though.
The movie did have some funny moments, like when Liberace’s mother (played by Debbie Reynolds)said, “I’ll take a check.”........
He had two lawsuits denying he was gay.
In 1982, Scott Thorson, Liberace’s 22-year-old former chauffeur and live-in lover of five years, sued the pianist for $113 million in palimony after he was let go by Liberace. Liberace continued publicly to deny that he was homosexual and insisted that Thorson was never his lover. The case was settled out of court in 1986, with Thorson receiving a $75,000 settlement. Scott Thorson stated after Liberace’s death that he settled because he knew that
Because Liberace never publicly acknowledged he was gay, confusion over his true sexuality was further muddled in the public’s mind by his public friendships and romantic links with women. He further obscured his sexuality in articles like “Mature Women Are Best: TV’s Top Pianist Reveals What Kind of Woman He’d Marry.”
In a 2011 interview, actress and close friend Betty White stated that Liberace was, indeed, gay and that she often served as a “beard” to counter rumors of the musician’s homosexuality.”
The sad part of all that is that EVERYBODY knew, yet he still felt the need to deny.
I would normally agree about Sansa, however I have seen some photos in which Sophie Turner is actually quite lovely. But strangely, I find Arya to be prettier in the series. However, no one knocks my socks off more than Oona Chaplin, I mean, My God, is she ever attractive. Sansa was also harder to warm up to in the books due to her immaturity and stupidity.
The scene you refer to from 'The Climb" is just magnificent, and the reason is because of the unbelievable performance of Littlefinger. He came across as utterly malignant. I think it was very clear after that scene which of those two is good and which is not. Some of the added scenes in the series are really superbly done.
I had often thought that the main purpose of the added character, Ros, outside of some added nudey scenes, was to serve to better vilify Littlefinger, and that scene alone practically illustrated Littlefinger to be even more treacherous than Joffery, which is quite a feat.
I really can't wait for the last two episodes. I was totally out of sorts when it did not run Sunday night!
“The sad part of all that is that EVERYBODY knew, yet he still felt the need to deny.”
Oh, yeah, big time. And then dying of Aids was his final humiliation.
