I'm so very shocked and sorry. Breitbart was a real happy warrior. I've loved his work -- he's been inspiring, exhilarating, pugnacioius, vital -- anyone who cares about having a truly free press is indebted to him. I'm so sorry for his family.
Tony, surely you've noticed the low, low ratings the Oscars ceremony has been pulling in for years now? Clearly conservatives are not the only ones who find the Oscars lacking -- though of course, taking that fact into account would get in the way of the conservative hate you've obviously got going.
Alas, I am serious. I read about this a good year ago, though, and have heard nothing since (not that I really keep up with this stuff), so maybe someone wisely decided to drop it. You know, my biggest criticism of Netflix is that they don't offer enough of the classic films that have been released on DVD -- because I'd much rather watch The Big Sleep or His Girl Friday for the sixth time than watch the current remakes of TV series from the '70s and '80s, gross-out comedy or "social conscious raising" bore.
Johnny Depp as Kolchak, huh? And wasn't he also slated to play Nick Charles in a remake of that classic, The Thin Man? As if anyone could replace the witty, elegant William Powell! But once again, I'm struck by Hollywood's lack of creativity in recent years. The movies are all remakes, or the actors are impersonating actors of previous generations. This has become one sad, inbred industry!
Thanks for the shout out to Objective: Burma and Flynn. He is always a joy to watch.
So if you don't love everything she does and accept it unconditionally, you are a "fair weather" supporter?? Sound like the sort of logic that usually comes from the Obamabots.
Have to agree with BJ. The difference between Emilia Fox's age and Charles Dance's was just too enormous -- it was creepy. While Maxim is supposed to be the older, cultured man of the world, Dance is old enough to be Fox's grandfather. Ick!
Hey!! Don't be mean to pigs! I work in animal rescue, and honestly, pigs are much nicer people than Bill Maher!
Thank you, Mr. Nolte!! I have been head-over-heels for this film since I first saw it as a teenager, more than 20 years ago. The first couple of times, watching Grant steal into the house and up to the bedroom where they are keeping the poisoned Alicia, I was on the edge of my seat with the suspense. The way the camera circles them when Devlin finds Alicia here, and also in their first love scene ... heady stuff! And yes, Claude Rains is fantastic too -- it wouldn't be as complex a film without his performance of Sebastian. I weigh my words carefully when it comes to movies too, and I wouldn't hesitate to say that this one has been a top 5 for me for most of my life. A fun line from the bit where Alicia claims she is no patriot and Devlin plays her own words back to her: "Relax, Hard-boiled, and listen."
You are so right! What the heck was I thinking with?? Long may Selleck appear on American TV.
