(I love him, too. Some actors just do it for me.)Watched Multiplicity (for the umpteenth time) yesterday. Always good for a laugh. I just love Michael Keaton!
(Me too. For sure movies are my favorite pastime. I've been studying them since I was this high.)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.
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.
(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.)Speaking of Gone widda Wind, anybody ever seen Raintree County? Another civil war epic, told from the other side.

The 2011 version of Jane Eyre with Michael Fassbender and Mia Wisakowska is a favorite of mine.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.
I actually play the North and South theme on piano.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.
You need to ask CriticAndProud about this. He adores this movie.The Thing (1982). I've discovered a secret hidden in plain sight. What single factor is suggested which protects the main protagonist (Kurt Russell)?
No, CriticAndProud needs to ask me.You need to ask CriticAndProud about this. He adores this movie.
