Re: I Just Watched...
Beth Howland, the original Amy in Company ("Getting Married Today"), played Vera on Alice . Linda Lavin sang (well, sort of) the title song for the show. Oh wow, the lyrics to the ALICE TV theme song were written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman. I'm not sure how to describe Linda Lavin's si...

Re: I Just Watched...
Was Ellen Burstyn asked to reprise her role in the ALICE TV series? She would have already received the Oscar for ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE so it's not surprising if she was asked to do the TV show (or at least the pilot) that she declined. Back then doing a TV series would have been seen as ...

Re: I Just Watched...
Yes, I saw GODFATHER III when it came out- we stole pay per view and it ran on loop. It was 1990 I think? I was 12 years old and I kid you not, one day I ran upstairs and grabbed a black wig and a fake rubber nose, and did an impression of Miss Sofia Coppola‘s EPIC performance for my sister and her...

Re: Streaming on Criterion in April.
Anyone notice that the Criterion Channel now has a programmed streaming channel? They call it Criterion 24/7. When I started the Criterion app on my TV last night, I noticed that the layout was slightly different. There's a new option at the top called Criterion 24/7. It's programmed, meaning they ...

Re: I Just Watched...
I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode of ALICE, but I love the movie ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE [/b]that was the inspiration for the TV series. I'M THE OPPOSITE- I've only seen the TV SERIES, which I grew up watching on THE SUPERSTATION. It would be interesting to see what you think o...

Re: I Just Watched...
There is actually wisdom in The Nanny , i.e. a combination of Jewish foibles and Jewish wisdom. Seinfeld and Enthusiasm are just shtick. In terms of Woody Allen, I love much of his work, particularly Radio Days, Manhattan, Annie Hall, A Rainy Day in New York, etc. I even like What's Up, Tiger Lily?...

Re: I Just Watched...
Thank you, MR. INTERNATIONAL , you're like that ONE JUROR in TWELVE ANGRY MEN who manages to get JACK WARDEN to change his verdict. She will live, for now. By the way, speaking of your TV pet peeves, I recall your one post on the old boards saying how much you could not stand Linda Lavin. She playe...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I saw the outro to GREY GARDENS last night while I was waiting for Noir Alley. Olivia Wilde, wearing a lovely green pantsuit, was the guest who had chosen it. She said all the things you might expect--no, it wasn't exploitative, the Maysles Brothers weren't manipulative, etc. That's not how I saw i...

Re: I Just Watched...
IT MAY have been BAD LUCK/BAD TIMING but STILL, c'mon man- think of the five women who are nominated, it's their moment, not "yours"- I've watched the footage and it just BOTHERS ME every time I see it, it's a very rude thing to do. (edit- he really starts laughing when he says FAT CITY- ...

Re: I Just Watched...
S Apparentl y ROBERT DUVALL and JAMES CAAN did a lot of clowning around on on the set and- TBH- while I'm fine with JAMES CAAN (as an actor), I DON'T LIKE ROBERT DUVALL (as a person or an actor) and I AND NEVER HAVE. (aside: this opinion includes his behavior presenting the 1972/3 BEST SUPPORTING A...

Re: Theater
UPDATED WITH A FEW WINNERS. The Olivier Awards will be presented on Sunday, April 14, 2024. Here are categories in which I have choices. I have omitted categories in which I have not seen any productions. I don't think many of my choices will win, even though I think "How can James Norton not ...
