Paramount was for sale for $11 Billion, which would have been great for Mel Gibson, Sly, Arnold, and those guys, but then Sony and the Japanese stepped in and offered $36 Billion for Paramount. I do not think that we should let the Japanese buy Paramount, I would rather see it go to Arnold, Mel, Sly, and those guys, and the rich people from the Philippines can help, so I sent the idea to Manny Pacquiao. Anyhow, I hope the regulatory groups stop Sony from buying Paramount, and I want for Sly, Arnold, Mel, and Manny, etc, to buy Paramount.

Salute,

Tony V.

...not sugary, nutrition free junk.

That could describe the Boyardee slop almost as well as the pop tarts.

Spouse and I finally caught The Eyes of Tammy Faye.  Now clear to me why no one but no one disputed Chastain winning the BA Oscar.  Made me think of her also fine perf in Molly's Game, both films in which she plays a nice girl from the heartland who gets sucked into a world of money and deceit.

Jessica Chastain attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts around the same time that I did, and she produced "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" herself. I took the same route after the AADA and tried to produce a film named "Echo, A Rock and Roll Tragedy" which Hugh Hefner liked and we almost got it made if we could have found a director who Hef knew and trusted. I never was able to get my film made, but I will keep trying. I live by Chapman film school, and maybe I can meet a connection there to help me to make my film, or sell it and let someone else do it. If my dream came true then I would like to move into a bungalow office at Universal Studios in Hollywood and just live there while I make my film. We will see what happens. Meanwhile, it is nice to see Chastain succeed.

And on the issue of the movie about a civil war in the USA with California and Texas rebelling, that is just shit. Here is a better idea, make a movie about Christian hippies taking over Iran and making Iran into a Christian hippy commune with peace and love, and wealthy from oil money. Give the world a new vision on what Iran can become. Let Hollywood dream about what Iran can become.

Salute,

E. J. Smith goes down with the ship. Again. As Theodore King rides to ruin and the world's.ending!

Did not realize he was also in Ghandi, probably in the 2 hours or so I slept through. Which makes 32 Oscars at least won by the films he appeared in. I wonder what the record is?

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Toughie to nail that stat down!  Maybe DeNiro?  My rough count puts him on top.

Loved The Fall Guy.  Rambunctious and droll actioner slash romcom -and love letter to the professional stunt man.  And another fine entry to the movie-within-a-movie plotline.  Our hero does have a spot of trouble with a hotel key card - understandable.

I assume it was someone like Ward Bond.

Caught Charade for the first time in full (I had seen pieces parts). One of many films called the best Hitchcock film Hitchcock did not make, but I did not see it as that caliber, though nicely done and suspenseful. And any time I can see Ms. Ruston and Mr. Leach together is a treat, even if the obvious age difference was off putting. James Coburn did a horrible Texas accent which took me out of the movie every time he spoke, because it was not only bad but unnatural.
