Well to be fair Cruises Mummy wasn’t meant to be a reboot of the Frasier version. It was 100% being used to set up a Dark classic monsters universe, we see how well that went.

Deep Rising is also such treat to watch, I only ended up watching the film I believe first on DVD or on cable first a fair amount of years back, and of course I have made it my duty to watch it at least 2-3 more times after my first exposure to Deep Rising. I get why DR is considered a cult(?) classic, such a crazy…

Fraser’s Mummy isn’t a perfect movie, in the sense that it has very unimpressive ambitions and you never forget that it’s just a corny action flick, but it is pretty much a flawless movie within its very limited box and achieves everything you could possibly hope for a movie like that to achieve. Fraser is perfect as…

In this context though I read his comment as simply a comment on the tone. Which yeah a lighter tone would also have helped but as shown by the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor even a light tone isn’t enough when missing the vital mix of people (and there’s stuff about that third entry to enjoy).

“Fun” is a broad concept that stuff like charisma and chemistry in the cast very much counts towards

I’d love to see him play Rick O’Connell again, but Fraser is a treasure and I’d hate to see him injured in the role... again.

Wasn’t just a lack of fun though, that original trio had charisma and chemistry out of the door and a great villain in the form of Arnold Vosloo.

What if, like professional sports stars, it’s all those injuries that explain his fucked up head?

Maybe there’s something to those thetans after all, if Tom Cruise is able to do all those stunts without fucking up his body.

Yes, Magnum PI after Murder, She Wrote. I seldom was allowed to stay up to watch Magnum.

I tear up every time I hear Angela sing Beauty and the Beast in that movie. And I’m a grandma now. The first time I saw Angela was in National Velvet on tv back in the 50s. But probably my two favorite movies of hers are The Manchurian Candidate and The World of Henry Orient. Honorable Mention: Death on the Nile,…

In the fall, it was NFL, 60 Minutes, and Murder... Was Magnum P.I. also on Sundays? CBS had a monster of a lineup, there

Adorable interview once with her and Frank Sinatra.  The host asks her about the kissing son scene.  She says all polite and lady like about how its ambiguous but it does hold for a while implying a lot.  Frank just says cut the crap your banging the kid.  Hilarious. 

 What a deliciously BONKERS performance.

RIP. Seriously, watch The Manchurian Candidate in honor of Angela Lansbury. One of the great cinematic villains of all.

IIRC, she didn’t want to do it because they sent her the demo of the pop version by accident.

“Had to go bed once it was over so I never liked the music.”

My Sunday night childhood was watching Murder She Wrote with my parents, always after 60 Minutes. Had to go bed once it was over so I never liked the music.

The term GOAT gets thrown around far too much these days, but she absolutely earned it. What an absolute legend in everything she did. I first came to know her as Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast - true story she didn’t want to record the title song at first, but ended up doing it in one take - her work in musical…

They’re also notoriously insecure, petty, and vindictive towards those they’ve surmised have crossed them. Also usually on many drugs/deeply depressed
