Re: May 2024 Schedule Posted, Asian Stars featured
I remember the Breathless remake being ok. Not great, but not awful (if you didn't compare it to the original) I don't remember that much about it. Think it was based in L.A. It was. I guess if a famous French film which had starred an American actress came to be remade, it was a nice, snappy idea ...

Re: I Just Watched...
I am totally with you on AMERICAN BEAUTY. I didn't see it when it was in theaters, but when I did see it, I was like YUCK! I gave the movie a half star on Letterboxd. Good for you for giving it half a star on Letterboxd. I think I gave it 1 and a half, mostly because I did like Annette Bening's per...

Re: May 2024 Schedule Posted, Asian Stars featured
It turns out the May schedule has Breathless , not Godard's first film which TCM has shown fairly frequently, but the 1983 remake starring Richard Gere. It also has Switching Channels , by common consent everybody's least favorite version of The Front Page . Might as well test that view. It seems a...

Re: TCM Premieres....
The 1983 remake of Breathless is the one where Richard Gere shows off the family jewels. That's all I remember about it! Bingo Long is one I'd like to see. Yes, that was unusual for a male star at the time. Still is. Yes, was going to say that I never saw the Breathless remake, but I remember heari...

Rewatched a large portion of Victor/Victoria last night. Still holds up very well, and it is one of Blake Edwards' finest hours. Robert Preston and Lesley Ann Warren should have won the supporting Oscars that year.

LOL. Della went far and beyond what a legal secretary would do. Seems she was available 24 hrs a day. She even put up some of Perry's client at her apt.!!!. She had no life beyond her job it seems (at least in tvland). Paul I could see. He was a private eye. I believe part of that was her hidden lo...

Re: I Just Watched...
I dunno, does MERYL STREEP rock a WONDERBREAD-INSPIRED SWIMSUIT in SOPHIE'S CHOICE? Are there MARVELOUS ENORMOUS HATS??? I have not seen it, but I feel like the answer is "no." Honestly, I LOVE VICTOR/VICTORIA, but I think EVIL UNDER THE SUN has better costumes. We're simpatico on GANDHI ...

Re: I Just Watched...
The Five Nominees for Costume Design in 1982 were: Gandhi*** La Traviata Sophie's Choice Tron Victor/Victoria Now, I think we can easily say that Gandhi won because it was in a big Oscar sweep, because most of the costumes in that film aren't the most memorable. Evil Under the Sun did come close to...

One other note about Evil Under the Sun. Sylvia Miles later said that filming it was the most fun she ever had in her life.

Re: I Just Watched...
Who could forget Gandhi??? Love those loincloths! Undeserved win, even nomination! One of the very few times where you, me and REX REED all agree. You know, I actually was tempted in writing all this up to mention that Rex Reed famously complained about the Costume win by Gandhi, but I didn't. I ha...
