Zazie is pretty bad, no? Love the book.

I never knew a Louis Malle film was involved in the case in which Potter Stewart made his famous "I know it when I see it" comment.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 02:16 (sixteen years ago) link
That being Les Amants. I haven't watched anything yet, but Black Moon looks like it has some interesting talents involved- Joe Dallesandro AND Sven Nykvist.

4 Roger Cormans tonight, leading off with A Bucket of Blood. Anthony Perkins fest tomorrow night, incl Disney's The Black Hole and Welles' The Trial (which I seem to like way more than most ppl).
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 26 October 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link
I kinda like The Trial.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 26 October 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link
the best Anthony Perkins performance too. Love the interrogation scene at the beginning.

Karloff Karlooff Karloff! tonight.
This Guest Programmer thing for ALL NOVEMBER looks wildly variable. This week, Alfred Molina, Donald Trump (Kane, lol), Gore Vidal.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
If you crave more of Donald Trump: Film Critic there's an Errol Morris interview of him talking about Kane somewhere on Morris' website.

We have 6 days to guess why Chris Elliott programmed On Golden Pond.

Who knew that Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald movies were an inspiration to genuine opera stars?
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 1 November 2007 01:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Finally saw an actual Ed Wood movie (Bride of the Monster) this morning. Fun and stupid.

the contest winner seems to have the best lineup of all?
the Renee Fleming films are about, you know, composers
― gabbneb, Thursday, 1 November 2007 02:54 (sixteen years ago) link
The Train and The Battle of Algiers on Saturday evening; Sunday night has a diverse '60s lineup of What's Up, Tiger Lily?, Closely Watched Trains, Point Blank and Blow-Up.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 9 November 2007 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link
the Sunday night programmer is some Food Network host

Alton Brown! He's super cool and smart.

anyone see Matt Groening last night? Nice that Dan Castellaneta took "DOH!" from Laurel & Hardy's great foil James Finlayson!

I'd also never heard MG acknowlege that Homer Simpson was named after the Day of the Locust character.

If I had been online anytime yesterday, I'd have alerted on Thelma Schoonmaker's programming night. Led off with a very odd UK wartime murder mystery Green for Danger, with Alastair Sim as a sort of bumbling yet semi-competent Scotland Yard inspector.
T.S. said she and Scorsese are now doing a history of Britfilm doc.
Did anyone see why Chris Elliott picked On Golden Pond? I can't access the online vid.
Harvey Fierstein goes w/ Bette Davis then The Women tonight.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 26 November 2007 14:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I DVRed Green for Danger and also meant to put out a Thelma Schoonmaker alert but didn't do it.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 26 November 2007 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
William Wellman fest tnite -- besides Cagney's signature role, maybe I'll finally catch Wild Boys of the Road.

In Germany that first film you mention is called Grapefruit ins Gesicht.

Who's Bob's opposite number on The Essentials these days- still the star of the upcoming Cougar Club, Carrie Fisher?

Yup, Leia's still hangin' in there.

Early monday morning TCM is showing the nineteen thirty one film of "The Maltese Falcon" with Ricardo Cortez as Sam Spade. Should be worth a look just out of curiousity.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 9 December 2007 01:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I've seen that. Alison Skipworth is great in the Greenstreet part!

in high school, i used to smoke weed on george m. cohan blvd, and felt compelled to watch yankee doodle dandy and seven little foys. jon, elmo, and i were all, also, in 'george m.: the musical' ca. 1995.
― remy bean, Sunday, 9 December 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Are they showing One, Two, Three, Morbius?
Sam Spade For a second, I read that as they were showing Queen of Spades and I got real excited.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 9 December 2007 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Someone should've mentioned Ford's The Iron Horse was on last night. Rent it!
I had my early versions of Maltese Falcon mixed up -- the one w/ a female Gutman is Satan Met a Lady.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 10 December 2007 14:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, someone should have mentioned that Ford, otherwise we're going to have to pays hundreds of dollars for that boxed set.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 10 December 2007 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Kim's will have the individual titles as rentable. :)

Not TCM but Sundance is doing an Antonioni fest right now. I turned it on and The Passenger was on, to be followed immediately by L'Eclisse, and L'Aventura at 5:45 (following som eother stuff). West coast times.

old travel films
Is that a ref to To Catch a Thief?
The best thing about those locs is Grace speeding along the road where she'd plummet 30 years later...

The elusive Theodora Goes Wild is showing tonight at ten as part of the Irene Dunne festival.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 20 December 2007 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
the whole night was location-oriented, but there actually were some brief old travel clips prior to it
― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 December 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm reading an excellent novel by David Dodge, author of To Catch A Thief, called The Last Match, which also takes place partly in the Riviera, among other exotic locales. I'll bet the book of TCaT is better than the movie.
