Big Hollywood : The James Bond Chronicles: 'Diamonds Are Forever'

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 21:31:57 +0000

I would like to read some comments from you on the theme songs, Diamonds are Forever by Shirley Bassey is one of the greatest! As well as her other work on the Bond soundtracks, Goldfinger - the Connery movies are better and so are all of their theme songs!

Big Hollywood : Announcing Big Hollywood's Countdown of the Top 25 Greatest Christian Films

I could see Bad Lieutenant, the original with Keitel "Hey,I'm a Catholic" Could I throw in The Exorcist? and Jesus Christ Superstar - I never saw it as mocking, and some of the tunes very catchy.

Big Hollywood : Top 25 Left-Wing Films: #13 - 'Three Days of the Condor' (1975)

I knew you were going to pull out this movie, this is one of my all time favs, plus I was growing up in New York at the time this movie was made!a and I knew the brownstone in the opening scene. So for me it was one of my first realist films. But I think you have the thing backwards, what you're going all over is the understory of the narrative and you exaggerate the story a bit to support your version, he wasn't established as a complainer, (a victim like bradley manning) asking questions was no big deal he had no idea what was about to happen, thats the great set up. The government isn't bad its some of the people that are running it are, Redford certainly understands and fights for his freedom in this movie and Robertson fights not to be exposed because he knows it wrong and will be prosecuted. And it all ends on an ambiguous note.

Either way I liked the article itself and I noticed a lot of religious messages in the movie. Your last sentence sums it up well!

Big Hollywood : 'The Wall' Concert Review: 'Mother, Should I Trust the Government?' 'No F**king Way.'

Fri, 3 Dec 2010 17:57:03 +0000

I saw the original Wall at the Meadowlands NY in `80, its was awesome, I was young and tripping my nuts off and I'm sure the tech was much less than it is today, but I loved it just the same. In the last few years I saw Darkside at the H'wood bowl every time Waters has come, and when Mason sat in on the performance it was a real Floyd show. My first concert ever was Animals `77 (dating myself I know!) and moments of those shows stay with me forever. Although, ever since Rick died I'm mad a Roger, he was so important to the band and always cut out of the deal, so other than the live 8 thing it can't happen, I wanted to see this show, but didn't go out of my way for it, this not being my favorite like Animals or Darkside or if he would dare Ummagumma or Meddle I would be there. Or if he did it with Nick And David I would be in the mid seats (for the light show) come hell or high water.

Big Hollywood : Discrimination: 'Hobbit' Casting Agent Fired for Doing What Hollywood Does Every Day

Artists have been using lovers family and friends in their work for centuries, theres nothing wrong with that. Plus, as a filmmaker its a sensitive relationship and involves many subjective elements. The other actor may be `better' than who you cast, but you cast who you can work with, if you can't work with the `better' actor the entire thing will suffer. other than that you're right. In this town its all about who you know. I've gotten a few good jobs without an interview or resume. Other places I can't even get in the door, or, for that matter, I don't even know where the `door' is.

Big Hollywood : Top 25 Greatest Halloween Films: #4 – ‘The Exorcist’ (1973)

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 08:05:43 +0000

I didn't notice anyone mention the soundtrack music Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield a masterpiece by itself and created a timeless feeling of ancient things in the movie. The hospital stuff is what scared the hell out of me, when this came out I was a kid and we would go to the movies and heckle, adding words to the dialogue and having fun. We looked forward to `ranking' on this one but aside from a good one about putting more quarters in the bouncing bed this was/is one of the great movies. But all the stuff with the doctors and the priest was/is mesmerizing and unforgettable to me, and when he records her voice and the therapist/scientist plays it backwards and the flashing face you have the picture of above is un freaking believable `father, I was a quire-boy' the bum in the subway station... But Max Von Sydow, in that one 12 minute scene is unforgettable, from the second he comes in the door, not even saying hello and megan yells his name, and the priest is like `we've diagnosed four manifestations in her split personality' and merrin says `there is only one' AHAAHAH I'm getting chills thinking of this, one of the most chilling scenes and mom is just standing there, Ellen Burstyn is genius and the passion fear hope and unbelievable awe in her face is just pure genius and watches this old man (how old was Sydow? 35? hes in Robin Hood playing the same age as Russell crows father in law!) go off to the room and change movie history and absolutely blow everyones mind!! when he comes at her with the holy water saying `I am lowly and a sinner, I am nothing, it is christ who compels you, the holy father the martyrs on the cross who compel you! the power of christ compels you! AHH I had to write that, I'm not even religious!! thanks for writing such a good article about this movie! I love it!!

Michael, I really like your deconstruction of these films. But one thing you have to admit, these films are well made and well written.

Yes, I would say screaming "Allahu Akbar" as you fire bullets into people is definitely expressing a point of view!

Oh but I love Meryl Streep. I don't think I've ever see a picture or image of her where she wasn't captivating and hypnotizing. She just looks so great all the time every time, even when shes trying not to.

Get a grip Charles. Keith Lewis does not have decency or business interests in mind. Not for a second. If you believe that then you have already lost. Lewis wants nothing less than the personal destruction of the woman you say you represent. Take it to the courts please. Defend your client and your business, if Lewis has his way she'll be so shamed and ostracized she'll be worth nothing to you. Stand up like a damn man, protect your client and your business. Sue Lewis and Trump and the pageant and drag them into the public courts.

Big Hollywood : So You Want to Be Tortured?

What? I never agreed to anything about being better than anyone or on some moralistic `high ground' , if I'm going to fight someone (personally and/or theoretically) the first thing that goes is any rules, as a matter of fact strategically I want to go against any `rules'. My goal is to end the fight as soon as possible by whatever means possible, and taking `the high road' does not enter the equation. Last week I heard a famous film director say (relating to movies) "Nice guys finish last, and deservedly so" and my answer to your question is: NO
