Warren Beatty, washing machine

A sure sign of insanity.

'shampoo', 'shamPOO' more like.

I FUCKED 'EM ALL

I skimmed through a biography of the man in a bookstore...one of the best examples of how being successful in yr chosen field, being filthy rich, and having virtually unlimited access to yr choice of sexual partners does not equal "happiness"

it's the ultimate boomer movie

xpost

great movie. not as good as McCabe and Mrs. Miller tho. Or Bonnie and Clyde.

Still one of the best dressed men. I would kill to have his tailor who is oddly, Frank Foster, the now famous tailor responsible for fashionable skinheads (e.g. Nick Knight).

I could never understand what made him so desirable. Does he stick $20 bills in their vaginas?

to paraphrase another actor: "I've got the TEETH, I've got the HAIR"

in Mark Harris' new book about the films of 1967, Beatty comes off as the only guy who could irritate Godard and Truffaut equally.

i think being handsome, rich, and famous does it for a lotta chicks.

he's a good-looking dude, of which there are no shortage of in Hollywood, obv...but, also, presumably he's managed to communicate a charismatic, sexay vibe

one of my favorite parts of the "Raging Bulls, Easy Riders" book is when it talks about him having whispery, hushed-toned late-night/early dawn conversations with Robert Towne. Please bring on the transcripts of that shit!

The only time I ever found him hawt was watching him learn Russian in Reds (then the scene with the dog barking killed it).

Think, alf, think. Not just hair or teeth. Skin. Clothes. Cheekbones. Manicure. Car. House. Power. Money. Fame. Not a lot of women can stand up to that package. xp

all those things do not add up to a big package.

The Lothario dialogues.

if you say so...

Uh?

Actor Warren Beatty has filed a federal suit for control of comic-strip detective Dick Tracy.

The film idol bought rights to the character two decades ago from the Tribune Company in order to make his 1990 hit movie version of the square-jawed, tough-talking gumshoe. The sale allowed Tribune, the original publishers of the classic strip, to take back the rights if Beatty didn’t film another project.

Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, recently sent Beatty a letter saying time is up and it is reasserting control of the character. But the actor claims he should retain the rights because he started filming a Dick Tracy TV special earlier this month.

His attorney declined to say where or when the program will air, but insists the 71-year-old is far from done with the detective.

“Warren has always viewed Dick Tracy as a very valuable, interesting iconic character,” said attorney Charles Shephard. “He has all sorts of creative thoughts about what he might do with this character.”

Great. The Dark Detective.

18 years? Sounds like he needed to stop dicking around.

'And all I do now...'

^^^ remove the humour and that's what Chinese Democracy sounds like...

haha

he nobbed 13,000 women (possibly)

I'd like to see the author's research on that one.

80 today!

didn't know the lead actress in RDA was Paperlate's daughter

good take here:

rewatched Dick Tracy; love Pacino, Headly, the production design/effects and most of the jokes.

don't like La Ciccone and the loudness/replication of Burton's Batman in the last half hour (down to Elfman scoring it).

this is the best Sondheim song in it:

Yeah thats about how i feel about it too

Madonna has one good line reading where she sez about the Kid "What a cute little boy," like she wants to smother him.

She is a terrible actress

well she's not even a compelling presence in this

This works:

“I’m not looking for acclaim for the movie,” wrote Beatty, who is 81. “The movie will be recognized for what it is. It’s that I want money to come back to our investors to cover the P&A shortfall, in order to compensate them for the mistake of our finally gambling on a higher awareness for a movie starring two unknown young people and an old guy who hasn’t been on the theatrical screen for 15 years.”

That article is great, I loved Rules Don't Apply

“One possibility discussed was that the public was just not interested in the film, its stars, or its subject matter.”

My conclusions about Reds since my second viewing in 2006 remain unchanged: a confused movie made by a guy attracted to capital-I-ideas filtered through Old Hollywood notions of chivalry and moviemaking. When Jack Reed is burning dinner or bumping his head against chandeliers, I want to bury the DVD in the backyard. While the film captures Reed's magnetism (from what I've read about him), it misses his energy and commitment. To a degree I admire that Beatty, a product of the mummified remains of the studio system, conceived of Reed as a passive force, to the point of being topped by Lousie whenever they fuck often in the second half (their sex drives increase as the Revolution triumphs, yet anothe of the film's howlers).

Also, the film has no clue what to do about Louise Bryant. Is she untalented, hence her anger? Is he a frustrated talent? Is he Annie Hall, yelling "fuck" and throwing things and gibbering la-dee-da to herself?"

*is she

Just now had a vague memory of something about the way the talking heads were presented in Zelig being a critique of the way this was done in Reds.

Proud to say I still have my Rules Don’t Apply cocktail glasses, commemorating a movie I enjoy https://t.co/XKqX2P3kcd pic.twitter.com/SDZiLZork1

It’s a good movie

https://screencrush.com/warren-beatty-dick-tracy-special-2023/

In Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In, TCM host Ben Mankiewicz invites film critic Leonard Maltin over to his office as he prepares for a Zoom call with the famous comic strip and movie cop, Dick Tracy. Tracy (Beatty) calls Mankiewicz and Maltin on Zoom — Beatty is seated in a black void while wearing Tracy’s trademark yellow hat and overcoat — first to compliment Mankiewicz on an interview he did with Beatty for TCM some time earlier. Then “Dick Tracy” explains his issues with the movie Beatty made about him in 1990, while he watches clips from the film. A good five minutes of this 30 minute show were literally just Warren Beatty dressed as Dick Tracy watching the Dick Tracy movie while muttering things like “Yes! Yes, that’s good!” and “No! No! That’s terrible!”

...

2023’s Tracy Zooms In special builds to Maltin adding the “real” Warren Beatty to the Zoom call, and — as Mankiewicz and Maltin look on in disbelief — the two Beattys get into a rambling debate about the Dick Tracy movie and moviemaking in general.

it's fucking great and is making me wanna rewatch Dick Tracy
