@Anthologist@allmovie Unreal. Total contempt for such valuable material and the authors who created the content.
The odd UI of the site makes it unlikely web scrapers would have a thorough copy. The datahoarder subreddit could have some ideas.
@TVMoJoe@willmckinley@BobbyRiversTV I loved this guy! What a sweet and talented critic. I really enjoyed his podcast from a few years back. So sad to hear he's no longer with us.
@Moonspinner55 I find their recordings a little odd: they were sort of pitched between pop, jazz and novelty as traditional vocal pop was falling out of favor. Unhip, but fun!
@TinseltownTwins Underrated picture. Valerie Bettis stole the show as Veronica with her delightfully acidic, scenery-chewing performance. Great villainess.
Yesterday I was going through my pile of random Marion Davies things, just for fun, and I pulled this out. Itβs a napkin from the party Marion threw for Johnnie Ray and his new wife, Marilyn Morrison (daughter of the owner of the Mocambo), in 1952.
@aspartamebones@missannabiller Thank you so much for articulating this. I'd pay good money for an Anna Biller essay about film bro culture. It's so pervasive and noxious in any serious discussion of cinema. I once made a criticism of aspects of Scorsese's work and got a literal *diagram* sent in response.
'80s books: A savage review from critic John Simon for her performance in "Abelard and Heloise" led Diana Rigg to collect devastating theatrical reviews throughout history. The result was her book, "No Turn Unstoned", published in 1982.
