How vulgar.
I’m in love with Ann-Margret.
Have you ever seen the outtakes from Grumpy Old Men where Burgess Meredith gets progressively dirty-old-man-ier? Hilarious.
She’s a supasta.
She is a supasta. I just re-watched Carnal Knowledge recently and discovered, yet again, how great she is.
I keep trying to find out who took that photo. I saw it in a Life magazine – years ago – so I imagine it’s a famous photographer. I’m wondering: Dennis Hopper? They were good buddies, biker buddies – but … I can’t freakin’ find it anywhere – who took the dern picture.
i love her too..i remember her in Tommy..flawless and brave and wacky and real..love her! Bren..the Burgess Meredith stuff is HILARIOUS!! did we see that together? remember seeing Where’s Poppa???
Where’s Poppa? is without question the least known masterpiece of modern film comedy. It is a CRIME that people don’t know this movie.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is “The January Man”, Mitchell, which we watched back to back to really make sure that it was as bad as we thought.
Remember Rod Steiger in that movie? As the hard boiled Police Chief? And the icky first-moment-of-penetration sex scene with Kline and Mastroangelinotonionononi? EWWWWW!!!! Oh, I want to watch January Man RIGHT NOW!
VA-VOOM!!!
Viva va-VOOM las Vegas!
January Man is sooo fucking dumb!!! I wish we could watch it together!! I..love…i..um..love…i..love..my…li…tt..le..calen…(gasp)..dar…GIRL!! BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!
Rod Steiger: YOU WANNA FUCK ME????? YOU WANNA FUCK MEEEEE????? YOUUUU WANNNNAAAAA FUCCCCKKK MEEEE?????
omg..i forgot that!!!! brilliant!
