Watched the next episode of the Feud miniseries, which again took some liberties. (There never was a documentary filmed about Capote's famous black and white ball, but I assume that this was invented for the sole purpose of getting an episode that is over 90% B&W [ and in the old academy ratio ...

One of the moments I liked best in Cane River was when the girl was accusing the guy's family of not being black enough, and he told her that when he was growing up, whenever someone black appeared on TV, whoever was watching would call out "Colored!" and everyone else would run to see th...

"I could be brown.
I could be blue.
I could be violet sky.
I could be hurtful.
I could be purple.
I could be anything you like."

Something I've been pondering this week . .. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO JON VOIGHT??? The once great actor has gone off the rails! A video he made in 2020 comparing Trump to Jesus (yes, that Jesus!) has been resurrected (pun intended). I didn't see it until now so at first, I thought it was meant to be a ...

I am from a different world, one without Swifties. In my world there is Diana Krall. They can both exist in the same world. Be careful not to squash sources of light. When old meets new . . . "So tell me now And I won't ask again . . ." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE_wbglGAzA

The writing is a bit excessive and makes at least two glaring mistakes (a flashback scene set in the 1950s mentions 60 Minutes which did not premiere until 1968, and Family, a series not on until early 1976, is seen on a TV screen in a scene set several months earlier), but it does capture the deva...

Dressed like a daydream . . ."

Though I found FAR FROM HEAVEN enjoyable, it does always look like a facsimile. "Tastes just like . . . " usually doesn't taste like the original. The Elvis impersonator clearly isn't Elvis. I think Far From Heaven is more than just a Douglas Sirk facsimile. Tonally and visually (wonderfu...

Three of my favorite Fleischer Studios Popeye The Sailor animated shorts are scheduled in March 2024: A Clean Shaven Man on March 16 Brotherly Love on March 23 I-Ski, Love-Ski, You-Ski on March 30 Each cartoon includes a song written specifically for it. "Now I don't care whose brother you love...

"New Ways To Dream" One of my favorite songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Blvd. It includes a piece of music that is incorporated in other songs throughout the score. https://www.tiktok.com/@sunsetblvdmusical93/video/7323646796847140129?q=sunset%20blvd%20new%20ways%20to%20dream&t=...

David Thaxton was great! It's rumored that there's a cast recording of Jamie Lloyd's London Sunset Blvd revival in the works. I hope the rumor turns out to be true! In this revival the original key was restored to the end of "With One Look," the first big Norma Desmond song in the show, s...

Once You won't remember If you said Hollywood, hers was the face you'd think of. Her face On every billboard In just a single week she'd get ten thousand letters . . . It has been announced that Jamie Lloyd’s acclaimed London revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Blvd will be transferring to Broa...

TCM has released its "TCM Remembers 2023" video tribute to film artists and technicians who died this year. Hearing Cindy Williams's voice speaking one of her memorable quotes from AMERICAN GRAFFITTI was especially moving to me and when her face appeared I did get a little teary eyed. I w...
