Dr. Phil is a monster.

An icon of a bygone era an example of both the highs and lows of that Director-driven New Hollywood era. Her role in the Shining is iconic and traumatic, her role in Popeye is perfectly cast.

we’ll truly know cinema’s in trouble when this gets utterly stomped by The Style at the box office

Moore leads the film as Elisabeth Sparkle, the perfectly named star of an aerobics show, who gets fired on her 50th birthday due to her age.

They didn’t really get going until 1927, and worked regularly as a team until the early 1950s. Everything up to 1929-ish is in the public domain now, but that’s not even close to “most of” their work.

But you’d never say to an accountant, “Gee, you’re only 66. What happened to make you decide you wanted…

Too bad the “In a world...” trailer narrator guy is dead. He’d have been perfect to narrate.
