I received my first "Shut up, fag" response on X (formerly known as Twitter).

I feel honored.

So sorry.

Oh, Frenzy's rape/murder was much more sick than Marnie's scene was, even though the one in the earlier film was grotesque. With the exception of that scene, I kind of liked Marnie. Tippi does give a wonderful performance, the score is good, and its interesting so see a different type of film from ...

Another puzzler with DARK PASSAGE -- someone thinks "Linnell" is an odd last name. I wonder how Bacall came up with that one? And what a coinky dink that she happens to be friends with Agnes who figures in Bogie's murder case. This movie has almost as many coincidences as a Hallmark tv mo...

Ladies and gentlemen, submitted for your bad movie approval -- ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER. Kindly ignore imdb comments along the lines of "this is groundbreaking in terms of feminist cinema". Well, you know what I say to that? Horse manure!! 1972, Trish Van Devere is left high and dry by Engl...

I've never seen THE STRANGERS IN 7A. Trying to wrap my head around Andy Griffith and Ida Lupino as a couple. Thanks guys for all your ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER input. It did look like a tv movie of the era -- I forgot to state that. As for Spike Lee during the FACE IN A CROWD intro, he oddly repeated h...

CI, glad you cleared up that whole "walking V.D." thing -- I thought it referred to Warren William which didn't make sense to me, lol. I mean, there are a lot of other actors, both classic and modern, that it could describe. Not that I would mention any.

Or --- TRILOGY OF TERROR! Actually it was Lee Grant as Alex's mother who was the real scary one. I barely recognized Jill Clayburgh as the Israeli girl. A lot of her scenes were cut. (the growing up part). Lee's? If the ones they left in were any indication I frankly can't even imagine those they c...

I am still recovering from PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT. Oy vey. Not the best choice..... LOL. I warned you! " You sure did but I couldn't tear myself away from the horror, particularly Lee demanding Richard Benjamin show her his poop. "You've been eating at that frankfurter place after school!!&q...

Just think how interesting that courtroom scene in THE CHEAT would have been on Perry Mason.

Bing's toupee looks good, which is the only positive thing I can say about this family drama which for me is a slog.

I never get tired of A FACE IN THE CROWD (which is a good thing since they air it so much, lol) so decided to dive in again. Now, some of you might know that my recent great will power (not when it comes to Lay's Dill Pickle potato chips) concerning maintaining a calm attitude towards a certain mai...

Oy vey.

Not the best choice.....

Thus endeth BRONXGIRL'S COMPLAINT.

lol -- Oh I have a lot of complaints about this film (Mike Nichols could have made it work) but have decided to hold my tongue....

I have to confess that I've never truly understood VERTIGO, much less why it's been on Top Ten lists as one of the greatest American movies. I have less of a problem with Scottie than I do with dumb needy masochistic Judy, putty in the hands of controlling men to be sure. Everyone in this story is ...
