Apparently, we just weren’t ready for aaaaall the footage of starving children, and started screaming and crying and begging her to take us home. The worst part, looking back, is that we HAD to beg her.

Christalmighty, was it ever. The trailer for this, and the tv trailer for “It’s Alive”.

Not kidding. My mother took my sisters and I to see this, when we were aged... I see from Wikipedia that it came out in 1972? So we were aged 4,6, and 8... pretty traumatized.

I don’t know if I was doing either of those, but I was in the kitchen listening to the scene where she makes the nurse comparison - and I promise I was yelling, and sputtering, and banging pots: “These people, these FUCKING people, you don’t have to ADD to people’s misery with with GLEE sputter sputter argle bargle!!!”

OTOH, would he have broken into the sovereign’s bedroom at all if the sovereign had been king, and not queen? Of course we can’t truly know the answer, which I think is “no he wouldn’t have”, but I do think the fact that she is a woman does fairly place the discussion into the context of a man thinking he has the…

I was surprised by how strong a reaction I had to the fridge-raiding scene. First the long trek through the enormous, empty house, then ending up in the familiar-to-anyone environs of a kitchen really illustrated for me what it must have been like.

Could it be that the extra room provides space for his dick to slip in and out, rubbing against the condom walls and thereby providing more pleasure?

It does take emotional energy, doesn’t it! Christ! You mean other people have emotions attached to sex, whether they like it or not?

I’m so glad for this thread. Because threesomes stress me the eff OUT - just the idea of them makes me anxious. I could barely watch last years “Tales Of The City” because of a threesome subplot - I was so anxious that I had to pace the room and look at the screen through my fingers. And I thought I was the only one -…

I assumed it had to do with Cumberbatch. Didn’t it?

Why do we say such things? When we know that you will kill us for it?

Trump did too??? I remember GW Bush using it fifteen years ago!

I love “Batman Returns” - and never really thought about how that whole penguins-with-rocket-launchers scheme would have been right at home on the TV show. The dark part, of course, is that the TV show wouldn’t have ended the episode with the Penguin dying. But if it had, he surely would have been “buried” by his…

I saw it when it was new and liked it very much! It actually made me a Frances Sternhagen fan, I really loved her in it.

I don’t go for blonde guys in general - they have to be really extraordinary to catch my attention. Robert Redford? Woah - yeah. With mustache, without mustache, 1960's clean-cut, 1970's shaggy - holy cow, what a beauty.

Dude! The hairstyles!! I’ve literally never heard anyone else say that is a factor in whether or not they enjoy a period movie, but it drove me crazy as a kid. I grew up watching a ton of old movies, and when the haircuts in 1970's movies were so obviously 1970's haircuts, just plastered back haphazardly to look…

I need to watch The Sting again, clearly. I’ve just seen it once, around 1978 or something, on a theatrical re-release, and of course I could not make heads nor tales of what was going on. However, I’ve since found that I can’t easily follow the plot of any movie, necessarily.

I don’t see how “Bewitched” could be described as “well-intentioned”, as Gwen describes it. It’s really a slap in the face to fans of the series, a movie really not designed to appeal to anyone. “Bewitched” without the magic - hardly any magic effects at all, what’s “Bewitched” without magic! Without any of it taking…

Drove Larry Hagman crazy too, he pushed and pushed and pushed for Jeannie and Tony to get it on, and then they finally married and the ratings went down the crapper. Of course it had been on for several years by then. And marrying her was probably not the wish fulfillment he had in mind. And there was already…

“Lord of the Flies”. I know that sounds pretentious, maybe, but I was 12 when I picked it up at random from my school library, and when ***** is killed it scared me so bad I put the book into my dresser drawer for two days. When I looked at the drawer it was in, I’d hear a roaring in my ears, and distant crashing…
