Today marks the 30th anniversary of Pretty Woman. It was released on March 23rd 1990. Of course now it’s remembered for making Julia Roberts one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history. It launched her career to the stratosphere and she still ranks as a major star even if the star system itself has evolved drastically in the last thirty years...

A few days ago, my fellow TFE writer Claudio flagged a website www.screentimecentral.com, which tracks the screen time and percentage of all Oscar nominees and winners. Because Oscar category fraud has long been a heated debate here at the site, I thought it might be fun to play with the numbers on the site from the last 20 Oscars, to see what we might discover if, say, AMPAS instituted a time/percentage rule on who could be eligible for lead and supporting performances.
Now for those about to go crazy in the comments, settle down. This is just a fun game. We’re not suggesting there should be an implemented rule, but for the sake of stirring up a healthy, positive conversation, I’ve broken down some of the numbers, and it reveals a lot of interesting things...
Sunday, March 22, 2020 at 12:16PM A little bit of psychomatic musical comedy humor to get you through this anxiety-riddled weekend.
Guys & Dolls, comedy, musicals Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 10:00PM with Nathaniel R and Murtada Elfadl
Everyone's a shut-in so we'll be watching the same movies at home.
Index (33 minutes)
00:01 Updates on health and the NYC self-quarantine
04:20 Cactus Flower (1969) is a delight, though crazy sexist. We both fell hard for Ingrid Bergman and enjoyed Goldie Hawn's Oscar winning debut, too. It's streaming on Criterion Channel. We also talk briefly about our reader's choice series thus far and what's next.
17:38 The latest adaptation of Emma starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Murtada really loves Bill Nighy and Nathaniel loves the look but we both think it's not as strong as the 1996 Gwyneth Paltrow version.
26:30 Bonus randomness - two perfect leading lady star vehicles: Rita Hayworth in Gilda and Cher in Moonstruck.
31:00 Wrap-up
You can listen to the podcast here at the bottom of the post or download from iTunes. Continue the conversations in the comments, won't you?

The Zodiac calendar begins today so for all of you Aries out there we salute you. Some notable Aries celebrities: Keira Knightley, Reese Witherspoon, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, and Ewan McGregor. So... pretty good company.
After the jump a beauty break of ram's horns in the movies. Rank them in terms of who makes you horniest?
