Well I have one of those degrees too, as it happens. So I guess we’ll have to leave it there.

No, no intro to film class will cover that movie.

Gone With the Wind has never been considered a brilliant milestone. It was a handsomely-mounted production based on a best-selling book - a big, expensive, well-made historical soap opera.

For some reason I can’t “like” posts. But I can still like them, and I like that one.

I thought there was a period of confusion for him, before he settles on the Victoria Tennant character,during which a small slot opens in the post at waist level and Martin makes love to it. But I could be wrong?

I don’t know. I think the one from 1995 was quite enough.

The real precursor to this movie is Steve Martin’s affair with a highway sign in L.A. Story.

Yeah - they all use those stupid fucking ear bud telephones that make people on the street seem crazy. Just use a flip-phone or a brick or a shoe like the rest of us!

I worked with Shelley Duvall in the 90s. She was a true delight: eccentric, sure, but really sweetly so, and definitely intelligent and compos mentis. She was a lot like her character in 3 Women, but smarter and not self-centered or deluded. And she talked a lot about The Shining, and wasn’t as kind about Kubrick as…

You can haunt them for their blunder.

I’m Canadian also, and have heard of these people, but only just.

How are you supposed to not let a thing like that bother you?

I like the idea of Chubby Checker being behind it all. More of those old early rock and soul superstars should appear in movies, I say. Paul Mazersky knew this was true and that’s why he cast Little Richard in Down and Out in Beverly Hills.

Is this a program about super-heroes?

Nope, a movie called Chatterbox.

A talking pussy?!?!?

It’s time for a change. The new Bond should be a black, a gay, or a pregnant.

Yeah, but only two-headed freak cats.

Well I for one have seen the Icelandic version, and therefore have no need to see this one, even though Sam Neill is always terrific. Smoke inhalation? Really?
