That’s Vinnie Barbarino

I swear I did not see this thread before my post from a minute ago

The movie MICHAEL is so awesome

or a dog or a horse or a cheetah …

Well, the last words of REDS being “great things are ahead, things worth living for and dying for” is almost too perfect a segue into GRIN WITHOUT A CAT.

Is that latter correct? I know American friends who have seen it even before streaming … video only? Not even any one-offs like this show I’ll be going to later.

Took day off work for all-Communism double feature … first, AFISilver for Warren Beatty’s REDS (another major 80s pic I’ve never seen) and then Suns Cinema for Chris Marker’s A GRIN WITHOUT A CAT (which the theater site says has never been released in the US)

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (partially) … don’t tell me you’d turn down Daniela Bianchi over Putin

Can he survive Katie Porter’s potato pot slam?

“Veel you geef my ahn-sehr?”

I actually had to look up her name. Had this been a live convo, I would probably have just said “the countess on the bus … whatsername.”

The Chinese film starts at lunchtime so it’ll be done well before Metro closes; but the Marker starts at 840, so it will push midnight with intermission

Confining myself to supporting women

Thelma Ritter, WINDOW
Lila Kedrova, CURTAIN
Jessie Royce Landis, NxNW
Judith Anderson, REBECCA
Leopoldine Konstantin, NOTORIOUS
May Whitty, VANISHES
Brenda de Banzie, TOO MUCH (56)
Barbara Bel Geddes, VERTIGO
Vivien Merchant, FRENZY
Peggy Ashcroft, 39 STEPS

I’m taking Sunday and Monday off to see (respectively) a 3-hour documentary (Marker’s A GRIN WITHOUT A CAT) and a 7-hour documentary (Shi and Chen’s TIANANMEN)

You could be my son!

I recently gifted to a vinyl collector friend* what I teased as “the soundtrack album to a 90s musical that Siskel and Ebert loved.” It was the album of 32 SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD - Beethoven, Bach, etc.

* he is a cinephile, so he DID appreciate it; it wasn’t a gag gift.

These guys would have had to by now

It was a national campaign slogan.

What about Tiger Woods vs. the road … what is price on that wager?

I have already seen SATANTANGO twice AND also gone through five Scotland World Cup group stages

TIL … the AFI Silver will be showing SATANTANGO on the same day as Scotland’s World Cup opener, but the hours work out (Tarr starts at 11am; the kickoff is at 9pm).

Potential for the most depressing double feature in history.

So that means they’ll make the World Series but lose?

They still need to find a girl pitcher tho …

As iconic symbols, they obviously do. And for the most part, even policy/substantively. But this would become less true the deeper you drill in the details and ESPECIALLY into the nitty-gritty of their conduct as war presidents …

They did … but I don’t think today’s Democrats want to claim too much continuity with the Democrats of that era. (Besides it really isn’t relevant in re the point Scott is making. He just left out the modifier “today’s”.)

She’s Canadian, therefore she doesn’t count

No true Scotsman can believe that!

The whole scene reminded me of the parallel parlor-game scene in METROPOLITAN, and I think Borgli’s point is the same as Stillman’s (and Austen’s in MANSFIELD PARK).

still … there were TWO women at the table

I found it intiguing that so little was made of THE LONELIEST PLANET confession, though that might be a function of Haim already knowing about it.

The ad hominem is the best one, you shit-for-brained wimp
