I didn’t see it until I was in my thirties, when I was aware of its history and reputation, and it quickly became a favorite. I know, every reference to it was pure purely sentimental pandering, but I’m a sucker. And it just felt good to have the score in particular given its due, since it was so terrific, especially…

Oh it was Vesper’s grave, but his visiting it seemed like a nod to the opening of “For Your Eyes Only”, where he visits Tracy’s grave. It’s the only other movie that references OHMSS at all, or really the only other time that the movies have showed any sentiment at all, however brief.

I imagine if I weren’t into OHMSS, it would have been pretty sucky. It did make me feel kinda old, though lol. 

The movie overall would have been pretty crummy - well, not bad, better probably than Spectre anyway (I haven’t loved any of them except Casino Royale, which I deeply adore) - except that they, for the first time ever* poured on the sentiment, and nostalgia appeal. Which made me completely love it at times, including…

Most movies will be C. Because most movies are average. That’s what average means. If there were 3 movies, and they were all “A”, they would all be average. If there were 3 movies and they were all “F”, they would all be average.

It’s later, during “I’m Through With Love”, and the ensuing action. That dress...is astonishing.

I saw “The Apartment” in a theater a couple weeks ago and seriously, when I saw the reveal Fran’s date in the restaurant, I had to stifle a scream, like in a horror movie.

It wasn’t until years after I first saw it that I realize the full implications of “Nobody’s perfect!” coupled with the elevator scene. I suddenly flashed on that floor indicator going up and up, and realized - Osgood knew it all the time! That’s what he pinched in the elevator!! OMG, “I JUST GOT PINCHED IN THE…

I’ve got a feeling that Doc Ock isn’t full-villain, and that he’s the one in particular that Peter doesn’t want to die. I mean, they’re on a first-name basis , or at least introductions are happening in the trailer when Ock says his whole name. He didn’t want to die a monster, at the end of Spider-Man 2.

Fannie Brice had a nosejob. Fannie Brice! Not only that, but in 1923 - when she was already famous! Not only THAT, but it’s considered to be the first one ever!!!

“Legend” too - in fact, “Legend” has the old and the new teeth. I thought the old teeth were sexy, tbh.

Yeah...I don’t really understand “The megagiantstudio owes us quality!!” As if they don’t CARE about the quality of their super-huge-selling product.  

Or surgical operating theater!!

I completely agree. He’s been omnipresent since I was in early adolescence. I for some reason didn’t watch much SNL though, and missed most of his movies, or somehow he just didn’t click with me comedically in the ones I saw. But when I saw him on his SNL return - holy cow - this guy’s FUNNY!!! lol.   

Since you asked so nice, I won’t make you wait for my blog. I made sure to say I’d heard various songs as incidental music here and there (like “Shake It Up, Baby” in “Ferris Buehler’s Day Off”), but not ever listened to it. And it wasn’t played as incidental music much, because it was rarely licensed as such, right?…

 “It’s not that I have anything AGAINST it. It’s just that, what I have AGAINST it is...”. That’s pretty bad. But the actual explication, of “1. I’ve always planned to, and 2. it got so big!!” is quite reasonable. And all that’s necessary, before diving in, if that - The article isn’t “WHY I MISSED HARRY POTTER!!”.…

Her first film appearance was in 1933. Her hair color varied until she started appearing in color films in the 1940s, when she was consistently red-haired (“Technicolor Tessie” was a nickname, in fact, due to how well her bright red hair, blue eyes and fair skin photographed in Technicolor).

It’s not that sudden! I’ve seen it for a long time, I think since the advent of autocorrect. Still, yes - why.

Angela Lansbury was fantastic, but they wanted Lucille Ball for her role in “The Manchurian Candidate”...man. As soon as I heard that I thought immediately “Oh, my gosh, yes.”

“Mousy brown”, she said as Lucy Ricardo.
