2024-12-02 17:49:34 +0000 UTCI still don't understand the point Roger tried to get across (and I feel like Gala didn't either).

2024-12-01 17:54:12 +0000 UTCHear me out: In the nightmare version of Bedford Falls, shouldn’t have Donna Reed become the (arrested) prostitute and Gloria Grahame turned into an old maid?? Feels like a more effective subversion of Mary and Violet but maybe that’s just me.

2024-11-30 03:30:49 +0000 UTCRegarding A Clockwork Orange - when filming the rape scene of the writer’s wife, do you think Kubrick was imagining Pauline Kael and her scathing review of 2001?

2024-11-30 02:37:52 +0000 UTCGreat episode! It's a Wonderful Life is based on a short story called 'The Greatest Gift' which is an apt description of what this film is. I watch it every Christmas Eve with my family, it's simply one of the greatest films ever made and only gets better with time.
