The crowning achievement went by largely unheralded. No cinematographer ever won three Oscars in a row. And the feat will not be repeated anytime soon, if ever. The highlight of the night will forever be Ennio Morricone. And I care not if someone else might have better deserved this specific Oscar. That was Ennio…

Only movie in history to co star four Wangs and four Changs.

Just watched excellent Ex Machina a third time. (even better stoned)

Ugh. Emil Jannings. later a Hitler acolyte, stole his Oscar from the leading vote getter of the day, immortal Rin Tin Tin. Plus Rinty out actually acted the old Aryan a-hole. Even Marlene Dietrich loathed the Nazi loving bastard. Called him "a ham, both figurative and literally."

…and emaciated John Wayne's unsentimental last hurrah in 1979.

I'm old. Charle Chaplin's return in 1972.

1990 French Gangster Noir. Why no Eddie Constantine?

Thought The Cobbler was the one where Tommy Lee Jones played some old racist baseball dude.

excellent

Here's one for you. Besides Soul Surfer, name another movie except Max that has a one armed leading lady. There simply ain't any.

I think exactly the same about Sean Connery and James Bond.

Francis X. Bushman.

Ralph Ineson has a mondo movie face. He was also great as ghastly Gordie in the similarly devilish "From Hell."

Worst ever were unquestionably the puke eater scenes from John Waters' "Multiple Maniacs." Avoid at all costs!

Actually it was Humbert Humbert. (oops, wrong blog)

What a doll.
Cue up Marilyn & Billy: "You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show."

Yep. Mick as Axel, and Rebecca De Mornay, in full nude "And God Created Woman"form, as the hotty vamp. Using Nabby's old title, 'Camera Obscura.' Might have been a mad classic.

South Park's Tweek Tweek modeled on Humbert Humbert.

The film version of Nabokov's Laughter in the Dark (1969) was good too. A planned 80's remake with Mick Jagger sadly never opened.

I'm ready for Lolita 3 with Humbert Humbert Humbert.
