I bought a banana sauce once then found out it was a popular Philippine sweet catsup made from bananas. They even make spaghetti with it.

I think Ali is one of his best flicks, it's about the relationship of an older German woman with a much youngerBronxgirl48 wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 11:52 am Andree, I think the only Fassbinder movie I've seen is ALI but do not remember it very well.
Oy, WHAT A WAY TO GO -- a real '60's mess. Gene Kelly is fairly amusing as an egoistic movie idol but that's not saying much. Shirley wears all these "fab" outfits but overall I found it a painful slog.
Ed Wood, bless his heart. GLEN OR GLENDA is another winner.
THE OSCAR co-stars Tony Bennett as Hymie Kelly, whose words of wisdom ring through the ages: "Lie down with pigs and you wake up smellin' like gaaabaaage!"
Speaking of painful slogs, try getting through Woody Allen's ANOTHER WOMAN. Just try.
My dad used to recite a variation on that particular poem way back in the day. Thanks for the memory.Masha wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 5:24 pm One evening in October, when I was one-third sober,
An’ taking home a load’ with manly pride;
My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an’ lay down by my side;
Then we sang ‘It’s all fair weather when good fellows get together,’
Till a lady passing by was heard to say:
‘You can tell a man who “boozes” by the company he chooses’
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

I like them too, but all the pizza parlors around here stopped offering them as a topping option, so I have to buy a tin or small jar just to have them on top of pizza.
I saw that one through ...twice. I thought it was very powerful and extremely well acted, but then again I liked a lot of Woody Allen's films, although the last section of his directorial period has been hit and miss.Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 11:52 am

That's terrible. Thankfully, the pizza around where I live still offers them. It's important that they be baked on - adding them after the fact just isn't the same.CinemaInternational wrote: ↑March 11th, 2023, 12:08 pmI like them too, but all the pizza parlors around here stopped offering them as a topping option, so I have to buy a tin or small jar just to have them on top of pizza.
The sweetie and I watched THE OSCAR on Watch TCM last night/early morning. It was in pan-and-scan (UGH!!!), but I guess that's the only print available.Hibi wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 3:30 pmThanks.

DAMN! I missed my chance to record/watch THE OSCAR! I remember seeing it on the schedule and checking now it was on MONDAY MORNING! Who knows when they'll run it again (Paramount). Bad Movie Nirvana. P-SSED! Maybe it'll pop up somewhere else (with commercials) this month.
THE OSCAR is available on Watch TCM through March 13th.
You probably know this, but that moment was supposedly inspired by the 1934 Oscars when Will Rogers revealed the Best Director winner by shouting, "Come and get it, Frank!". Frank Capra, nominated for Lady for a Day, leapt up and started heading to the stage, when Rogers clarified by saying, "Frank Lloyd, for Cavalcade". George Cukor, nominated for Little Women, was then also asked to come up, so that all the nominees were on stage and the scene became a bit less awkward. Capra was still supposedly humiliated, but things took a better turn for him the following year.HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑March 12th, 2023, 4:27 pm The part at the Academy Awards ceremony where Frankie Fane stands up because he thought he won the Oscar but then starts applauding when he discovers his mistake (to make people think he was giving the actual winner a standing ovation) made me think about what supposedly happened in real life when Rosalind Russell stood up because she thought she won Best Actress but then started applauding when she realized the winner was actually Loretta Young.
Agreed!HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑March 12th, 2023, 4:27 pm The sweetie and I watched THE OSCAR on Watch TCM last night/early morning . . . It was enjoyable camp.

Feel the same with just about every movie he made. Think there was one that I tried & liked ... kinda.Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 11:52 amSpeaking of painful slogs, try getting through Woody Allen's ANOTHER WOMAN. Just try.
