I'm pretty sure William Powell never made a bad movie.

Meh. Maybe it's me but much of the 80's **** just doesn't resonate with me like cinema before of after.
Just saw Water For Elephants
Enjoyed it
a wee bit hackneyed at times, but overall it was good
How was Christoph Waltz?
Did he kill Robert Pattinson for being a jew? Is his forehead scar healing nicely?
??? I'm not getting the references here. Reese Witherspoon was terrific, the guy who played Jacob was good but perhaps played the role a little too sappy for my tastes (though it was sort of a sappy type of role) and the guy who played the ringmaster (the husband to Reese aka Marlena) was great.
And I thought I was paying attention throughout the movie, but I missed any references to religion.
anyhow, I've been watching this one on and off for a couple days, about one of my sports heroes - good historical footage, both fight and non-fight related

I never knew Ernie Terrell was such a good singer!

What a horrid movie with retarded characters that fall for every ruse, trick and lie that Carrey's character floats out there. All the gay sex doesn't help the movie any either.
Gay sex and retards...
I'm intrigued.

It was the love story that inspired Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the screenwriting partners who gave the world Bad Santa, to write and direct a film about Russell. They pitched the story, says Requa, to a studio affiliated with the publisher of the 2003 nonfiction book about this con man.
"And that didn't go so well," he says. Adds Ficarra: "Their only comment was, 'Could Phillip be a girl?' "
Requa says he and Ficarra wanted to make a classic romantic comedy, but with two gay men in the kind of roles that Doris Day and the closeted Rock Hudson played in the 1950s.
"To say that the subject matter, the gay subject matter ... played no part in our distribution problems would be a lie," Requa says. "I mean, it did. We went with a distributor who was not one of the major independent distributors at Sundance because I believe that the larger distributors were afraid of it. Because it wasn't a gay message movie, and it was a frank depiction of gay life."
