Watched Adult World (2013) on Netflix. Weird little movie - didn't love it, but it was different and I appreciate that. Don't have strong feelings either way about Emma Roberts, but I really like Evan Peters. John Cusack was excellent in this film, as was Armando Riesco. Cloris Leachman is a gem (I always love her!).

Just got home from seeing The Revenant. Ooooohhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyyyy Goooooooooooooodddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This film is brutal!!!! This is truly a gorgeously filmed movie- every scene is a work of art- the landscape is so fantastically shot and the camera work is amazing- it truly boggled my mind how they were able to get the camera to make the shots that they did. Leonardo DiCaprio shall finally get an Oscar this year! Finally! He deserves it for this one, folks. He's never been better. I wanted to kill Tom Hardy myself- that's how good Leo is in this one. This is one film that needs to be seen on a large screen, and I'm not talking about that 72 inch flat screen that you got in your man-cave.

Freakin HATEFUL 8 again. So, so good. A western Canterbury Tales directed by Alfred Hitchcock. A frozen Resevouir Dogs. "Two pieces of wood! Godd**it!" Kurt Russell at his finest. Sam Jackson in his element. Quentin being Quentin. Thank you, God.

Well, I hear ol Mary Todd a'callin, so it must be time for bed.

Just finished watching Gone With the Wind. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. My 4th, or 5th grade teacher (can't remember which) took us to see it at a Matinee. Anyhow to get to the point, that was epic. I'm glad my back is out tonight or else I probably wouldn't have committed that much time to being still laying on the couch. Silver linings, right?
I really enjoy watching old movies on TCM. I love it when they discuss the making of the films.

(Me too. For sure movies are my favorite pastime. I've been studying them since I was this high.)

Speaking of Gone widda Wind, anybody ever seen Raintree County? Another civil war epic, told from the other side. Not as good, but interesting. Liz Taylor nuts, Monty Cliff eyebrows all over the place (guess he got in a drunken car wreck and halted production, messed up half his face pretty bad). Lee Marvin pretty cool ("I'll chew you up with my tobacco and spit holes in stone walls.").

Figuring on reading the original novel, supposed to be pretty dang good. Ross Lockbridge, Jr. Guess the cat killed himself just as the book hit the bestseller lists. Big ol 1000 page brick, gonna have to check it out.

Ever hear The Clash song, The Right Profile about Monty? Kinda brutal and hilarious


Say, where did I see this guy?
In 'Red River'?
Or a 'Place In The Sun'?
Maybe the 'Misfits'?
Or 'From Here to Eternity'?

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
And everybody say, "What's he like?"
Everybody say, "He sure look funny."
That's...Montgomery Clift, honey!

New York, New York, New York, 42nd Street
Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
He ain't got no shoes and his clothes are torn

I see a car smashed at night
Cut the applause and dim the light
Monty's face is broken on a wheel
Is he alive? Can he still feel?

Nembutol numbs it all
But I prefer alcohol

He said go out and get me my old movie stills
Go out and get me another roll of pills
There I go again shaking, but I ain't got the chills

ARRRGHHHGORRA BUH BHUH DO ARRRRGGGGHHHHNNNN!!!!

(I haven't seen this one yet, yet to become a fan of some set pieces. Big fan of GWTW, but watch it no more frequently than once every ten years.)

Just finished watching Gone With the Wind.

I saw that was on last night. I resisted because I knew I would stay up - I have seen it about 20 times anyway. :)

I will have to check out Raintree County. Sounds like something I'd like to watch/read.

Now I want to see the mini series North and South again in all it's cheesy glory.

Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine in Jane Eyre (1943). Dig the production design, the light and shadow, gothic noir. Young Welles, not obese, heavy gravitas, deep dark voice. Eleven year-old Liz Taylor in the prologue, Jane's doomed Helen. Weird looking, like someone Frankensteined Liz's head on a kid's body. Ooo-eee-Ooo.
The 2011 version of Jane Eyre with Michael Fassbender and Mia Wisakowska is a favorite of mine.

I actually play the North and South theme on piano.
