Saw the Tom Hanks version a couple of weeks ago and watched the original
today on DVD. No comparison... I vote for the original.... the new one was
actually painful and not at all funny....

reminds me of "Cape Fear", the original, much better in my opinion. Blue

I remember seeing two "Gables" in one week. We re-watched Lady and the Tramp
and saw Chicken Run. O Brother was not yet made at that time.

Who could successfully play Bette
Davis or Clarke Gable ?

Oddly, George Clooney does a good version of Gable. He was pretty much
using
Gable as a template in O Brother Where art thou? so there you go.

I couldn't see him doing a good Gable in a remake of It Happened One Night,
though or any of those innumerable films where Gable is a member of the
press! Not enough growl.

You know - this is the first time I've noticed what a complete ass you
are, John.
I guess you are unhappy with the fact that I think film critics are
insufferable bores who spout each other's pseudo-academic drivel and think
the ability to do so makes them intelligent. I'm happy to be in your
killfile and hope you enjoy mine - you'll get along with the few hundred
Gazas in there.

It was not on video yet. I count movies as coming "out" when I can see
them, which is a bit on the narrow minded side but it really is the only
way
I can tell as I don't even pay attention to the movie critics etc until
the
video releases.
The last film I saw in a theater was "Stop Making Sense" (1984 or
85?)
and that was because there was not such beastie as a HiFi VCR at the
time.
Prior to that we did go to a cheapo third run theater in the summer of
1981
a few times to escape the heat - the following year we put in a window AC
unit and The Movie Channel etc..

Mmmhmmmm..

Film noir means what you mean it says.

And whether a film opens or not is decided by when you can rent it.

Must be nice to be the centre of the universe.

Ploink.
