The In-Laws (original, with Arkin and Falk) was one of the best comedies of all time: "My car has flames on it! My car has flames on it!" "Serpenine, Shel, Serpentine!")
Phenomenal, yes. Creepy. Wayyyyy too creepy. I hope Vic Mackey takes him out this season.
Who do you think has more "star quality"? Jack Nicholson or Edward G. Robinson?
Yes, they showed a clip of it also. I also dont watch BW normally (what tree are you Walters) but wanted to see the star interviews. I loved calendar girls & the other two movies that I thought were comparable... raising Ed Levine(cent recall the exact title) & the Full Monty.. clever & fun.
I appreciate all your great comments.
I am starting a cinema monthly thread in March.. YOu will definitely be on that initial ping list. The concept etc is still evolving. I had hoped to do this for over a year.. March is my target date.
I agree with you re: the original In-Laws.
I recall seeing it on video at my brother's home in DC(he was with the Pentagon at the time & had little furniture.. we sat on the floor in front of TV),,we both just roared with laughter. I would like to get the DVD of it, if it is available somewhere
The recent one was funny also but not as good as the first.
I don't agree. Those participating here are sharing a common interest & we all understand each other. If this bothers or offends you, it would be better perhaps to just not post...
I believe your offense is not that we use first names.. your offense is that we enjoy cinema?
We all feel sorry for people who cant have tolerance for the pleasures of their fellow Conservatives.
I think the pc of actress to female actor is an indication of the illiteracy of the PC crowd.
Does anyone have the ratings for the oscars?
From this morning's fox stories, it was one big environment is morality fest.
IOW science is not relevant to the myth of global warming only feeeeeeel good morality matters.
Suzi, so many people disliked LMSunshine.. I thought it was fun. Truly a dysfunctional family but a parody on so many things.
I guess with the title people perhaps expected more sunshine?
Ratings need to be checked.
The little girl was awesome..
Letterman had the funniest Oscar line ever. Introducing Susan Sarandon and that Robbins guy she lives with Letterman said: "Here they come now. They're sure to be pissed off about something, so listen up."
This explains why he was never invited back. Hollywood takes itself very seriously.
I think the gay leaning crown might like the female actor title but I think most are quite content with the term actress.
Did you notice Ellen was referred to as HOST rather than Hostess.. It is of course a correct term either way but to me is an indication of perhaps her desire?
It seems to me that many of them in Hollywood realize desire to do worthwhile projects, as they have a lot of values that are not "warm fuzzy" even to them. I am sure it gives them satisfaction to think they are doing some things that are of a lasting good in their minds.
As I previously mentioned, If I didn't have FR, I prolly also would believe the global warming hype.
That is funny!
great comments!
The grass always seems greener..
1) I referred to no editors by their first names in that post, though I did in others. #623 was about an exchange between a director and an editor.
2) It was just lazy. Marty and Theresa are a lot easier to type, late at night when you've had a couple, than Scorcese and Schoomaker. Using first names might not be strictly according to Hoyle, and it's not something I'd do in formal writing, but it was clear.
Hmm. I referred to Reagan frequently as "Ronny." I think "Ike" was Eisenhower's preferred name, even over "Dwight" or "Mr./President Eisenhower."
2a) Thelma, not Theresa. Oops.
3) You say this on a forum where referring to politicians by their first name or nickname, e.g. W, Hillary, Osama, Al, Rudy, Bubba is the norm.
Why is Jack bald? Is he taking Chemo?
Actually, Nicholson is playing a cancer victim in latest film, so he had to be in character.
ROTFLMAO!
When I watched that movie it was like watching a train wreck, I just couldn't stop. In fairness to the talent, my understanding is they didn't know about the "inserts" Guccione was putting in until it was too late for them to do anything about it.
