I think the writers -- Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman -- are 60-ish. Richman is the partner of John Benjamin Hickey. I'm not surprised to hear that, but since the whole thing is intended to skew "older" they were probably the right people in the right job. Hickey has a very familiar face...

I agree about the character of Wyatt, who brought a more clear-headed point of view into a situation which tended to spiral at the drop of a hat. It also highlighted that these characters were on their own little generational island; if a younger perspective had been brought in at an earlier point i...

It's been a while since I watched, but my overall impression was the same as yours, that, especially among the small circle of friends, some of the characters veered toward stereotype and some of the dialogue was too cute by half. For me, and I've felt this before with some primarily "gay"...

As I previously stated a few times, I strongly opposed the creation of a separate LGBTQ+ sub-forum here at the SSO. As a member of that group, I find a segregated sub-forum on media discussion boards based on that demographic group demeaning, disrespectful and a step backwards. I realize that LGBTQ...

Sounds good, Swithin, and your take on it has me really interested, though I rarely go to a theater these days so I'll probably wait. CBS Sunday Morning did their usual good job highlighting it recently, interviewing the kids, who were later joined by Cooper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHf3QA2L...

The band was nearly sued over those observations and the famous faces were thereafter issued blank. It's not NANCY DAVIS ... FARAH ...? Not sure. It looks like blonde bangs under the wig and Farrah had that giant swooping thing. I didn't know about the legal troubles; some people have no sense of h...

So who else enjoyed the synthetic, lacquered, schlocky Ross Hunter faux-Hitchcock charms of MIDNIGHT LACE yesterday? I always find it quite delightful. I know, and it's against all our better instincts too, isn't it? By the umpteenth viewing every bit of suspense has been worn away but it still cal...

ROLLING STONES Some Girls https://i.discogs.com/tcDuyPmlczqwl4MP8Euye6dN4ICYVbr7GjWIBDBcPH8/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:595/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTEzNjQ5/MzktMTI3NDA0MzM5/MS5wbmc.jpeg OMG. It's so much fun to see this again. Mick in the pussycat wig looking like a tipsy Diana Ross...

MIDNIGHT LACE tonight!! Do not miss!! An underrated campy classic!! I don't know what to say about Roddy McDowall. Well, we could say this: despite what SON OF FURY wants us to believe, in no conceivable universe could he have grown up to be Tyrone Power. Roddy in a loincloth? Not the same thing at...

MIDNIGHT LACE tonight!! Do not miss!! An underrated campy classic!! The red herrings are so obvious.... Creepy opening -- "Mrs. Preston!" Doris Day's hysterical breakdown in the lift is memorable but for all the wrong reasons. Myrna Loy takes what looks like about 93 pieces of luggage as ...

To my knowledge, no poster asked TCM to create their LGBT sub-forum. They considered it the appropriate thing to do. Actually, it was a poster at the old TCM message boards who requested an LGBT sub-forum there, and that poster made a point of letting everyone know. And it was not just any poster, ...

The "Pine" reminded me of this song, which was originally recorded live at a club in D.C. but the sound was so clean that it was able to be reimagined in this beautiful setting. It was her parent's favorite song and they were in the audience when she sang it live. I love how it contrasts t...

Hosted by JOHN WATERS and JACQUELINE STEWART : HAIRSPRAY (still love it). The soundtrack contains the best and longest overlooked of the original singles used. WATERS is a true record lover. CRY BABY (what was interesting 33 years ago remains interesting. JOHNNY DEPP inexplicably loses his pants). ...
