I disliked those episodes that tried to make Jessica "hip" and "with it" by putting her in situations like this episode.

The TCM announcer last night: "Coming up next, THE BOOB. Stay abreast with Turner Classic Movies tonight" Saints preserve us! That is tacky beyond all belief. (And anyone who has seen Thoroughly Modern Millie should know that in the 20s the term referred to a naive yokel, as opposed to wh...

You never see Joan out of the office (never mind with anyone else) aside from that brief scene at her apt where she's cleaning up after some dinner party. She actually had a few lines there where she seemed almost human. "Get yourself a seeing-eye girl!" -- Joan Crawford to Michael Wildin...

CI, I've got a lot of catching up to do with your list! I've only seen THE OSCAR, SKIDOO, THE SWARM, and THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PIPPI LONGSTOCKING, all truly terrible. I think I counted nine of his list that I've seen. Objectively, Skidoo is terrible, but it's a fun terrible, unlike, say, An America...

namely a very casual treatment of rape [Roman Polanski has entered the chat] Speaking of reacting to movies because of the politics of the filmmakers, it made me think of another movie I watched recently: Accident (1967). Dirk Bogarde plays a college professor who is advising a couple of students (...

I'd rather see a schedule with zero Irish films for St. Patrick's Day.

The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), College student (Wendell Burton) meets manipulative, clingy stalker (Liza Minnelli) on a bus back to college. You can tell from my one-sentence synopsis that I didn't much like this film, largely because the Minnelli character sets off red flags and alarm bells almost fro...

We know that, and it makes a lot of your posts unreadable.

Hey, Lorna, maybe you could start a "Cane River" line of designs featuring "Verdant Louisiana Green" and "Tang-Colored Orange"! I believe your idea is late. It has been done. https://i.imgur.com/Mgcg3kF.jpg Those should come with a warning label: Buy only if 6 ft or ta...

Wasn't there a special Scorsese special segment where he talks about the movie Harold & Maude? Or is it just a 2 minute intro? Sorry but I’m not aware of an extra or intro where Scorsese comments on Harold and Maude. Perhaps someone else can think of it. The scheduled showing of Harold and Maud...

I was invited to her birthday party one year, which was thrown by friends of hers who lived in a town house in the East 50s. A woman came over to me and said, "Hello, I'm Lesley Gore."

Did she cry?

Marie Dressler?

Barry Newman had hair like a Brillo pad?

Jacki Weaver's character in Animal Kingdom is another great villainess.

Eve Harrington and Addison De Witt give you two in the same movie.
