We don't have a transcript, but from what has been posted on X (aka Twitter) he supposedly said that Barbra Streisand was a genius but that he didn't listen to her direction because women shouldn't be in positions of power. Which in itself is an odd statement because, while Barbara starred in and p...

Somehow, I wonder if these statements made weren't made because Dreyfuss is, by any standard, long since washed up in Hollywood. He hasn't had a major part in a praised film since 1995, the year when he got his second Oscar nomination. His attempt to do TV (The Education of Max Bickford in 2001) fai...

Speaking of the 1970s: consider the difference between Blow-Up (1966) and The Conversation (1974), which borrows liberally from the plot of Blow-Up , only with sound instead of photography. When Antonioni seems like the fun guy in the room, you know something is seriously out of whack. Swinging Lon...

I hope Cancel My Reservation isn't one of them! Yes, that's the 1972 one she did with Bob Hope, I never saw it but heard it was a disaster. However she also worked with Hope on the 1956 film That Certain Feeling . In Leonard Maltin's movie guide he gave it a BOMB rating, another movie guide book (b...

One difference I notice between Robert Osbourne and Ben M. is that Osbourne clearly loved the golden age of Hollywood and its stars, whereas Ben favors the 70s and beyond and doesn't seem quite as warm to eras before that point. Just an observation at any rate. Eddie, Jacqueline, and Alicia all seem...

Mother Night (1996) -- Based on a Kurt Vonnegut novel, this film tells a very dark tale. MOTHER NIGHT is my FAVORITE VONNEGUT NOVEL (I've read just about everything he wrote- with wildly varying opinions across the board)- but I recall just being BLOWN AWAY by MOTHER NIGHT and every time I am asked...

Two more films..... True Believer (1989) -- The idea of James Woods playing a lawyer with 60s radical leanings is quite ironic from today's standpoint, but regardless of what one thinks of him offscreen, his exceptional, committed performance, considerably better than the film around him, provides j...

What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one.

Don't forget Thelma Ritter in Pillow Talk! "You're my inspiration.... Alma!"

Loved Dabney Coleman in everything I'd seen him in. Didn't really come into his own until his later years. I preferred him w/stache! Was Dabney his real name? Who would pick that for their stage name? Yes, that was his real name. I'll remember him most for 9 to 5 and Tootsie, but he was memorable w...

Fred Roos, longtime producer of the films of Francis Ford Coppola. Age 89. https://deadline.com/2024/05/fred-roos-dead-francis-ford-coppola-godfather-producer-1235925291/ His last credit is Coppola's new film Megalopolis, which appears to be a jinxed production given that Coppola's wife Eleanor died...
