I'd like to hear you call Footloose un-masculine.

Or Truly Marvelous Cinema, which I'm not sure was ever an actual channel, but would certainly be an appropriate venue for showing this movie.

This movie had achieved cult status by no later than 1988, which is when some new prints were struck and it toured the revival houses. I remember this because I took a girl to it on what later proved a very eventful first date.

Saint Jack is definitely worth checking out. It's very atypical Bogdanovich - I can't say I'm a huge fan even of his good movies, but this is a good one.

Wow. Now I have to face the soul-shaking scenario that I actually saw Gilbert Gottfried and have actually never seen Emo Phillips at all. This is quite possible, because whichever of them it was, I saw their show at least fifteen years ago. I do remember that there were no aliens involved and it was a stand-alone…

17. Swim for it, you idiots! It can't get you all!
That one pretty much just applies to "The Raft."

Well, Gazzara had pretty much said his piece about Cassavetes, and dollars to donuts he'd have said it was a great picture, one of his favorites, and he really liked working with Cassavetes who was very good to actors. I'd have liked to hear more about it too though.

"Ben Gazzara is a good actor."
I saw an Emo Phillips comedy routine once and he started the show with that line. It was funny because it was true.

It follows a guy as he interviews for, gets, works at briefly and quits a series of horrible awful jobs in warehouses, restaurants and the like - the sort of job we've all had. It's fictional in that they're all actors, but it's extremely realistic in every detail, and, as I mentioned, totally compelling despite every…

Counts because it was MIA until about a week ago.

Why capitalize "your"? Larry David's funny and all, but really.

She has a nice ascot.

DePalma (well, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, natch) is the ultimate set-piece director. You can take that to mean he's a master technician with an unnatural ability to craft suspense and murder scenes, or that he's a lazy beardo for whom the rest of the movie is a shoddily-constructed structure on which to…

Pe-We's Big adventure is the Hong Kong knock-off.

Everything DePalma does is indeed strangely compelling, no matter how monstrously bad it may be by your bourgeois film-critic standards. (Kael, perhaps the very definition of the bourgeois film critic, smart and witty division, seems to have loved everything he did, though.)

I don't know - I saw a bootleg VHS loaned to me by an artist-run centre's film programmer, and that species of dude are uber-geeky versions of the kind of guys who can get you anything in prison, and you never delve into just where it came from.
