Odds are it gets snapped up by a Dominatrix who knows just what to do with those nine cells.

I feel the same way watching Roger Corman movies from the Fifties compared to SyFy “Original Features” now. Yes, the CGI is more convincing than Paul Blaidsell’s spit&bailing wire creations, but even the fast and cheap cinematography of low-budget filmmaking looks infinitely more moody and evocative than the film-like…

What gets me is that I was all for shooting in Progressive Scan, so you wouldn’t have interlacing artifacts. That’s why I bought a DCR-TRV950, and shot with it for about seven-eight years before HD became so ubiquitous that it was utterly out of date. It’s still in my closet, somewhere....

I’d say Bamboozled! is Spike Lee’s best film behind BlacKkKlansman, but yes.

You should - also The Public Enemy, Footlight Parade, G-Men (James Cagney, FBI Agent!), The Roaring Twenties, Mister Roberts  (where he plays a bullying, uneducated cargo ship captain), and 13 Rue Madeleine  (as a not-OSS Agent).

I linked to him dancing with Ruby Keeler in Footlight Parade’s “Shanghai Lil” number in an earlier post.

One of my favorite Cagney roles is in <i>Footlight Parade</i> where he plays the <i>auteur</i> of live musical scenes staged between movies during The Depression. Joan Blondell (who he came from Broadway with) plays his hard-boiled assistant who’s hopelessly in love with him (well, until the end bit, anyway) as he…

TOP OF THE WORLD, MA!

I wouldn’t have.

“A Cagney on White with Mayo, hold the pickles!”

Y’better go back and get a whole shitload of dimes!

Exactly, Hamologist!

That’s not satire - that’s what war is like for a lot of soldiers.

You!

Oh, Lordy, Lordy! Look at what the cat dragged in....

I also think Pryor knew he wasn’t right for Bart.

You have to be way off-base to see it as racist, though.

It’s like HUCKLEBERRY FINN — the story is about an abused boy who gets tangled up with a pair of con artists, and is helped by an escaped slave, which causes him to reconsider his views on Negro servitude....without the life experience or intellectual framework to be eloquent about it. But for a lot of people, they…

Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers dove so deep into its own satire that it’s not surprising lots of people weren’t in on the joke.

So, it’s John Wick before John Wick?
