Nice analysis of Reds.

WARREN BEATTY says he’ll spare no expense on his son’s education – but he refuses to spend a single cent on gender reassignment surgery.

Warren and his wife Annette Bening have told their 20-year-old son Stephen Ira – born Kathlyn – that they’ll even pay the living expenses and tuition bill for an advanced degree, but that’s where the free ride stops!

“Warren is ada­mant about not shelling out any of his hard-earned mon­ey for Stephen’s sex-change operation,” a family friend told The ENQUIRER. “The whole concept of gender-bending is very difficult for Warren to accept. While he’s finally come to terms with his little girl living life as a man, he can’t fathom the thought of paying for the actual procedure.”

“Warren and Annette both agreed they’ll pay for Stephen’s schooling. He’s basically on his own after that.”

one of the first real big road markers of adulthood is paying for yr own sex change

Is this the longest 'break' a prominent film director has had (~17 years), next to Malick (20)?

Beatty hasn’t made or been in a movie since he directed himself in “Town and Country” in 1991.

lol he didn't direct town & country, and it was released in like '01, not '91

bulworth was indeed his last triple threat film

Didn't he unofficially take over T&C and run it into the ground?

i'm glad that the christopher nolan/jim carrey howard hughes movie never happened.

He was reportedly offered “Kill Bill Pt. 1″ by Quentin Tarantino, but turned it down

huh hadn't heard about this but can totally see him in that role actually. although Carradine is a better casting choice overall.

“More than a quarter century after he brought Dick Tracy to the screen, Warren Beatty is considering making a sequel,” reports James Rainey for Variety. Meantime, we can “expect a fall or winter release for Beatty’s long-gestating passion project, the yet-to-be-titled [Howard] Hughes film.”

“I’m serious about it, but I am slow about these things.”

Fall or Winter when?

if he doesn't re-edit and reshoot after the test screenings...

beatty is 80 years old, i'm not sure how much time he thinks he has to mull over a 'dick tracy' sequel...

that said i'm down w/ REDS and i'm really curious to see this new film.

"Congratulations! You've Outlived Your Dick (Tracy)!"

Would love a Reds interview.

the last DVD had one w/ WB

oh right! I watched that print ten years ago.

digital is not a 'print'

neither is pedantry

private eyes are watching you

I really want to watch Reds (I have the DVD! Somewhere!). Parenthood is not yet compatible with a four hour movie though.

yeah, and it's def. the kind of movie you want to watch in one sitting (although IIRC there's a built-in intermission)

195 minutes, or about 40 more than the next Captain America movie

It's not very good but it's an Important Movie, and it's one of the few times I'll claim that I admire a director's risk.

yeah I wasn't that impressed with Reds the last time I watched it, much as I admire Beatty and his other work during that period in particular.

like Heaven Can Wait?

btw between The Fortune (75) and Ishtar (87), the only films WB did are the two we just mentioned.

A good while back I caught on tv a good chunk of $ (Dollars), an early 70s German-set heist movie w/Beatty, Goldie Hawn, and a bunch of local character actors who appeared to be waiting for Fassbinder to cast them in something. Was intriguing, but I've yet to revisit.

strange that was a Richard Brooks joint, given his rep for heavier prestige fare (In Cold Blood, Looking for Mr Goodbar).

It's one of those few ill-regarded Beatty films i never felt the urge to check out, ditto The Only Game in Town w/ Liz Taylor -- that was George Stevens' last movie!

I do like Heaven Can Wait! Tho I was referring more to the 70s generally (yes I know Redds is '81), had forgotten Reds was essentially the end of that period of his career

essentially the end of his career, period. Ishtar and Dick Tracy beckoned.

both films that are trying to do stuff, whatever the results. DT is a good movie, Madonna aside.

(Warren also has the best dialogue in Truth or Dare).

DT is def interesting, idk if it works but as a unique oddity it's noteworthy

Ishtar's better than DT. It's not great but I don't get its reputation as a turkey other than by people who read Variety.

i think REDS is enormously impressive on its own terms! it's one of the most intelligent and involving of those big sprawling epic films (that were already way out of fashion in the early 1980s)

Up to a point. That damn dog scratching the bedroom door and Diane Keaton hiking across the tundra might disagree.

nah, i like that stuff. go big or go home!

I think Ishtar was drubbed because losing money is a surefire way to get hated in Hollywood. When they put up big upfront $$ they demand big $$ results.
