Is it cause I is black...& white? by NeilMcCauleysBrother	Jun 22nd, 2008 05:24:18 PM
Wow. Never seen the life and times of Joseph Merrick. Anthony Hopkins got the Hannibal Lecter gig because of his performance here, according to Demme.
Never seen ---> The Sound of Music by HenryVIII	Jun 22nd, 2008 05:56:27 PM
Not even as a kid? C'mon, that's GOTTA be a typo or exception, Quint. Well, taking you at your word ... wow. Just wow. Enjoy it, man. It may be dated, and cheesier'n hell by today's standards -- but for pretty much anyone over 30, it's a childhood institution.
I'm looking forward to Sound of Music by buffywrestling	Jun 22nd, 2008 06:29:06 PM
but Elephant Man is one damn fine picture.
Elephant Man scared the shit out of me... by LordPorkington	Jun 22nd, 2008 06:29:38 PM
Why? Because I was only 5 when it was released and when it finally came on tv in England and my stepdad told me that the horrifically disfigured man actually existed and wasn't made up, that was too much for me to handle. Of course, after watching it when I was older, I was able to realise that somebody who looked so horrible wasn't necessarily evil.
Off Topic. To the guy who told me... by Orionsangels	Jun 22nd, 2008 06:45:38 PM
Indy 4 wouldn't even come close to 300 million. Indy 4 reached $290.8 million this weekend! In your face! It should reach 300 million by next week.
Hey, Quint... by BizarroJerry	Jun 22nd, 2008 10:20:01 PM
I think you'll be surprised how well Powell does as Marlowe. I had read the novel its based on, but always thought of Bogart on screen as Marlowe. I didn't know too much of Powell, but at first he seemed like a bad idea. But he's a good match for Marlowe onec you get into it. And still pretty funny, too. Though I think the movie makes the ending a bit sunnier.
No Comment on Lullabye of Broadway? by AngryCynic	Jun 22nd, 2008 11:18:15 PM
I'm shocked that you could write about "Golddiggers of 1935" and not mention the "Lullabye of Broadway" number - where (spoiler alert) the dancers pressed the woman out the window and she DIED and there was no one to feed the cat the next mornign! She DIED! That's one of my favortie moments in film - seriously.
Gremlins 2! You know you want to, Quint. by theredtoad	Jun 22nd, 2008 11:21:48 PM
that is all.

"I am not an animaaaaal!" Classic shit. Get excited.
OK so.... by MonsterManiac	Jun 23rd, 2008 01:03:24 AM
you're grabbing these from your "unseen" collection, many of which were originally bought kind of randomly? Ah, OK. That explains a lot now. Buy better movies, dude.
This is the coolest part of AICN by CuervoJones	Jun 23rd, 2008 02:27:26 AM
And the best thing is bayers and haters don´t visit this talkback.
Lullabye of Broadway by PaulW	Jun 23rd, 2008 08:07:02 AM
Lullabye is the most famous and well known sequence of the movie. Like AngryCynic I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned.
That's not Gloria Stuart... by ZTR421	Jun 23rd, 2008 09:29:18 AM
FYI - The woman gazing at Dick Powell in the first picture is Dorothy Dare. The still photo is from "Happiness Ahead."
Doh by ZTR421	Jun 23rd, 2008 09:34:23 AM
They were in Gold Diggers of 35, too.... but it's still not Gloria - it's def Dorothy. :)
ZTR by Quint	Jun 23rd, 2008 11:50:41 AM
I didn't mean to imply that was Gloria Stuart. You're right, that is Dorothy Dare from the scene where Powell is trying to figure out if he should accept the offer to watch over Gloria Stuart and his fiance (Dare) tells him to go for it.

That's cool - I just love Dorothy Dare (obscure, huh?) and just wanted to point her out...
