is it the pyschotic as loveable hero, the new york in forever decay of the 70s, the almost explicit misogyny, the excuse to enjoy watching women as victims, or something else?

has she ever done a public coming out thing? Her and Lily Tomlin are the two who always struck me as the most "out" lesbians without ever actually comin out
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 6 December 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link
well, that's what my first post today deals with... This statement is considered as far "out" as JF has been.
Tomlin is forthright these days about herself in interviews.

I laffed when I read that critic Michael Sicinski called her character in Carnage "a fascist Amy Goodman."
It's an annoying performance, and likely not in ways she intended.

rewatching Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore yesterday, her 12yo guitar-class tomboy Audrey aka Doris is quite amazing. "Wee-ird."

so Freaky Friday... given that the field hockey game coached by Kaye Ballard and Ruth Buzzi is central, I'm amazed this doesn't get more screenings in LGBT spaces. JF is totally a 40-year-old jr high student.
Barbara Harris (RIP) is great hurdling a vaccum hose, coming on to her neighbor crush, and showing decent form as a left batter playing baseball in red flares.
Car chase at the end is endless, but acting carries the day.

I finally sat down with it the other night as well. Really amazing 70s game show-style cast (in addition to Ballard & Buzzi, we get John Astin, Dick Van Patten, Sorrell Booke, Charlene Tilton, and a bunch of "Oh, that guy!" character actors).
From some reason I was really ticked by the scene at Astin's with Foster giving the stinkeye to his glamorous but increasingly frumpy secretary.
I also rescreened Blues Brothers and was struck by the similarities in the climatic car chases, mainly in regards to smashing up cop cars and the use of landmarks (part of the FF chase goes through the LA River).

Fritz feld (band teacher) popped his mouth! like he had since sound came in.
Harris gave a great slapstick performance, as advertised.

Foster's interview on the Freaky DVD (which seems to date from the FF remake era, 2003) is a little more in-depth than you might expect from Disney. She reminisces at length about all the films she did for them, getting bitten by a lion and falling into the studio toilet.
Also she was still under a binding Disney contract when she auditioned to play Leia in Star Wars (at age 14). Her mom decided to honor it, and the galaxy was never the same.

tot worth it! JF is fine, but she agrees that Harris walked off with the movie. The two of them also sing the opening-titles song.

oh yeah -- in a celebratory baseball scene an 8-year-old boy swats Harris on the butt and yells "ALLLRIIIIGHT!"

The opening credits song plays over a charming cartoon animated in a 70s claustrophobic caricature style.
