    Musical Mondays Week 47 Stage Fright

    I had 2 sensible chuckles. First one was when the kids are arriving at camp and the kid in glasses says that someone beat him up for liking musicals and it was his dad. I can't remember the second one...

    Musical Mondays Week 47 Stage Fright

    Yeah, I hated that song. I'm "gay" for liking musicals? Fuck off. Also hated the constant sexual assault on the lead character. They could've just had one scene instead of a montage!

    The Sixth Sense

    I don't know if Im stingy with 5 star ratings or I just watch a lot of garbage?

    The Sixth Sense

    This scene actually rustles my jimmies to the max. The scene opens up with a couple looking at an engagement ring. And then Anna says she'll go wrap up the purchase for them. However, at that moment the intern (?) comes up from the basement with a sofa and sets it down in the store. So instead of handing the ring box to the couple and completing the transaction, she sits down on the sofa next to him and then proceeds to give him his gift! It's supposed to be a tender scene, but all I could think of was hello, there are 2 impatient customers watching you! I dunno, if I had been one of the customers, I would've written a negative Yelp review about the place.

    And you know what's on those dolphin dicks out? Genital warts.

    The Sixth Sense

    Gosh, The Sixth Sense scared me when I first watched it. I literally did not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night for a few days after

    Singin’ In The Rain

    Moreover, Kathy and the other dancers throw that arm puff into the crowd during their performance. Why?? I liked this outfit though - especially the built in purse.

    Musical Mondays Week 46 Enchanted

    Haven't re-watched the movie, but I liked it when I first saw it. The one thing that annoys me is in the scene where James Marsden gets run over by cyclists. Bikes aren't allowed on that path!

    Singin’ In The Rain

    Fuck - Donald O’ Conner. Out of the 3, I’m most curious about him. Marry - Debbie Reynolds. I’m looking for long term companionship and compatibility and I think she has it. Sadly, kill Gene Kelly, but at least we have Fred Astaire?
  17. But did they smear bbq meat all over their faces?

    Double Indemnity

    I really enjoyed DI, but Neff's behavior was maddening sometimes. It's frustrating to see smart people doing dumb stuff. Like the scene where Keyes was telling Neff about the time he almost proposed to a woman, but then his gut told him to check her background. Why didn't this anecdote make Neff pause and think?

    Double Indemnity

    I love that one too. I didn't understand until you pointed this out, so thank you. I liked these two. When asked whether he makes breakfast, Neff says "Well, I squeeze a grapefruit now and again." And how does Neff spell his name? "Two "F"s, like in Philadelphia, if you know the story." (and I love how Phyllis was like, huh?)

    All About Eve

    Also, the Hepburn-Tracy relationship was platonic? That changes so many things...

    All About Eve

    Speaking of LGBTQ in this era, did anyone read Amy's article?

    All About Eve

    Totally. AAE made me consider smoking. It looked so cool.

    All About Eve

    I watched All About Eve with the commentary last night, and strangely they didn't explain the rear projection at all. A few interesting things I learned is that Joe Mankiewicz hated that because of All About Eve, an actual Sarah Siddons Award was created. Celeste Holm, the actress who played Karen, actually received the award one year, which rankled Joe. One of the commentators was Ken Geist, who wrote a Mankiewicz biography. I wanted to find out more about Geist, and in my Googling, I found out that Geist said Eve Harrington was originally conceived as a lesbian. Joe Mankiewicz's son, Tom Mankiewicz, was another commentator and his insights about his parents were fascinating. He said he saw his father in Bill and his mother in Margo. His mother was Rose Stradner, mostly known as a theater actress in Austria. When she married Joe Mankiewicz, she came to Hollywood and became a homemaker. It was her understudy who ended up with a successful career in Hollywood - sound familiar? Tom said his father had many affairs (for example, Joe had an affair with Judy Garland during his marriage with Rose) and Tom said he saw his parents during the fight scene between Bill and Margo on the bed on stage. Lastly (most importantly), the third commentator was Celest Holm. While she shared very little, my favorite trivia came from her. She said that she painted the eggplant herself! She was bored waiting around set sometimes, so in between takes, she actually painted that still life of bananas and eggplant. She sounded really proud of the painting LOL.
