The Big Sleep; or: Films that don't make any sense; or: Howard Hawks: classic or dud?

dave kehr retweeted this and said "blocked"

Think she used to be good, at least back in the days when Martin Skidmore walked the earth, but yeah.

JCO is someone who probably just shouldn't tweet, i've seen so many ppl repost incredibly bad takes from her

I always enjoy His Girl Friday, but I guess that's one of the many reasons I've never opened a Twitter account: blocking someone because they disagree with you about a film makes no sense to me at all. (Even though I agree with Kael's contention that it would be difficult to have a relationship with someone--a real-life relationship--if you disagree about films all the time.)

As when people here announce that they're FP'ing someone for a bad take or failed joke, announcing that you're blocking someone on twitter is a way of making fun of the poster; the system does not autopost the word "blocked" if you use it.

His Girl Fp'd

So you are saying maybe I shouldn’t sign up for that Master Class of hers that I keep seeing on YouTube?

final season of bojack horseman has an extended his girl friday parody

Boy, Ball of Fire sucks, eh? Lethargic, almost geriatric. Not one of the seven encyclopedists is funny. Coop looks sexy on occasion but is otherwise out of his element. Stanwyck played this character with a better script and direction in The Lady Eve, where Charles Coburn is as amusing as seven men and Fonda plays a better dork.

I didn’t mind it last time I saw it, I certainly like the part with Gene Krupa - and Roy Eldridge for a few seconds, depending on which print you see- but I remembering before feeling the same way as you describe, and remember Paul Schrader saying something similar.

as far as sexxxx appeal Dana Andrews >>>>> Coop

Can't speak to that, but I'll take your word for it.
