On Patricia B's departure I was just watching Fur this weekend wondering when Warner Archive would offer us a Blu-ray edition. I have a copy of her Arbus biography since I'm so partial to the movie.
I'm with you on this revisionist Hollywood history- it's not if like the the real story is not interesting enough. And what ever happened to the Montgomery Clift bio- prime actor Oscar bait role?
Are all those films that are being shifted on VOD going to be eligible for Oscars?
These Celebrities!
So the summer movies are being pushed to the oscar season calendar, when the oscar hopefuls will premiere then? Could someone write an article about how this pandemic will affect oscar 21? I'd like to hear TFE opinion on that topic.
dan -- i will be doing the annual "April Foolish Predictions" soon so working on it.
Just your daily (sporadic) reminder that Renée Zellweger is a two-time Academy Award winning Actress.
(RE: The All About Eve link) HOLLIDAY4EVA
We’ve all seen how Ryan Murphy’s brand of Hollywood revisionism slandered Olivia de Haviland (Bette vs Joan). I’ll take a pass on his forthcoming project.
If you haven't read Bosworth's bio on Clift, it is well worth your time. It's a fantastic piece of work, and made me appreciate Monty even more (as if that was possible).
moviefilm, the Golden Globes have apparently made a ruling that they'll qualify if they went VOD.
Thanks for the shout out, Nathaniel!
Since school has been cancelled in Michigan for the '19-'20 year, I have had plenty of opportunity for more indepth pieces!
Cheers and stay safe and healthy,
Rick
Thanks for the link, Nathaniel...hope you enjoyed the post!
The movie release schedule is in shambles now, but I can't see how all these Marvel movies can share such little theatrical windows before the NEXT BIG THING. And put me down as not shocked about Artemis Fowl. I have two kids in the demographic and they just looked sad during the trailer.
