Body: [quote user="pippin06"] [/quote] It's fun to read over threads sometimes. Geez, I talk a lot. Anyway, flair, your disdain for Scorsese aside (because I was generally feeling non-love for the oh so insane one, but correct me if I'm wrong), I liked this choice (Closer). I know a lot of people who like this movie, and I just could not get into it, for the same reasons (though, I doubt I put them so eloquently). And I've never heard of The Hospital. Not that I'm any benchmark, but has anyone else heard of it (save for Rizzo) and thinks it's overrated? I think if something is going to be overrated, it has to be, you know, not obscure, so I'm trying to find out if it's really that obscure or not. [/quote] and Risselada wrote: After watching Network recently and watching all of the DVD features I learned about Paddy Chayefsky and The Hospital was mentioned a few times. I'm wondering if you share similar sentiments about the Network script. Taking these in sequence: 1) Yes, Pippin, I was prescient enough not to expect a Christmas card from the Scorsese family, which cushioned my disappointment. I very much enjoyed Taxi Driver, particularly the acting. I didn't anticipate he would go on to make the same movie over and over. George C. Scott missed many of his calls for The Hospital, because his process at the time consisted of going on a bender, taking two days off for a little acting, then resuming the bender. Despite this, he was nominated for an Oscar, BAFTA and, not that it counts, Golden Globe. Paddy Chayefsky's script won all three, over Klute, proving once again that when humans get involved, there's no justice. (Or is that a line from Closer? I too have a friend who raves about that movie; the human mind is a mysterious organ.) Of course, if you conclude that this movie is now too obscure to be overrated, so much the better. 2) Risselada, you may be trying to goad me into launching a batty uncle theme page, but I have a soft spot in my head for Network, which was the essentially the end of a process that began with the rough draft version, i.e., The Hospital. To my mind, the principal difference is that Howard Beale comes across as a decent man, confused about where the culture is going and where he's ended up, but not a smug bully, contagious with white elitist bile, like Dr. Herbert Bock. Part of that's due to Peter Finch and Sidney Lumet, a committed star and better director, but Chayefsky also deserves credit for developing his characters and concepts. That doesn't save Faye Dunaway from serving as the same piñata for misogyny that Diana Rigg played in The Hospital. (Beatrice Straight's Oscar was a sort of joke; her part is tiny but in this context it's so unexpected to hear a woman given dialogue that rings true, it seems like a revelation.) But even Dunaway illustrates another important difference between the two movies. In the main, Network's supporting actors are much more on their game and in tune with their characters, and endeavour to make them something other than stereotypes. Even in the 1970s, the decline of American television news, and much of American journalism, already was a truism. The credit Chayefsky now gets for being ahead of his time instead of merely reflecting it is a bit anachronistic. (Although things have gotten marginally worse. Lara Logan's recent comment that she'd blow her brains out if she had to make do with American news demonstrates that even a home-wrecking, South African ex-model has a firmer grasp on reality than, just for example, Sean Hannity.) But I digress. What Paddy does deserve top marks for is his excellent job of absorbing the zeitgeist. This script put many people's fears and criticisms into pointed sloganeering. Finch took it from there. Although Beale's speeches go on as long or longer than Dr. Bock's, they come across as delirious social commentary, over-the-top truth-telling, not just personal gripes. On the other hand, who would have guessed that Ken Russell would turn out to be the best interpreter of late-career Chayefsky?

Body: 1) Gangs of New York (2002) As Pippin points out, in the land of overrated Scorsese, there are plenty of choices. But this represents the apogee: a meticulously researched, carefully staged, beautifully filmed, soulless, empty-headed, costume drama variation on all his other celebrations of violence. No matter how compelling the characters and intriguing their stories, Scorsese always manages to miss their heart. That's forgivable in rubbish like "Goodfellas" or a cartoon like "The Departed," where we know he's just filling time between spasms of bloodshed. But consider the resources that went into recreating this vanished world, only for Marty to once again fail at Storytelling 101. In an earlier era, Scorsese would be the batty uncle in the attic. Today, he's an award-winning director. Who says there's been no progress in the treatment of the mentally ill? 2) In the Bedroom (2001) Anyone who has ever lost a family member through crime, and struggled through the resulting legal proceedings, understands the continued heartbreak and frustration involved, and the amount of forbearance and character required to get through the days. For the sake of a cheap twist, this disgraceful twaddle dishonors all those sacrifices. 3) The Hospital (1971) I'm not sure this movie is still well-known enough to be truly overrated, but at the time this shrill, misogynistic, self-satisfied and self-defeating satire actually attracted some good notices. The combination of bombastic screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky, pedestrian director Arthur Hiller and george C. Scott in real social realist mode as the bitter alcoholic he was born to be, er, play, trample whatever green shoots of antic comedy that attempt to poke up their heads. Diana Rigg, an actress I usually like, gives the worst performance of her career simply by playing her ludicrous character, The Girl, straight. 4) Stage Beauty (2004) I understand the criticism of "Shakespeare in Love," but that's "Battleship Potemkin" compared to this pale copy. Not only do Claire Danes and Billy Crudup make Gwynneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes look like Brangelina, this movie actually borrows the silliest storyline element from "Goldfinger." No, not the attack on Fort Knox, the part where one fling with Sean Connery cures Honor Blackman of her lesbian proclivities. Here, it's boyish Claire who supposedly entices Billy away from the boys; perhaps he just didn't notice a difference. ZZZZZZ. (Billy lost even more cred off-screen by leaving pregnant girlfriend Mary Louise Parker for Claire. No, truly, I'm not making that up. Talk about sexual confusion. Fittingly, Claire then left Billy for an avowedly gay actor.) 5) Closer Certain productions work acceptably on stage, where the immediacy of the acting and the intimacy of the setting can overcome contrived writing. With the right cast, "Closer" makes for an interesting if chilly theatrical experience. Blown up on screen, with little effort to expand the stagey settings and set-up, every bit of plot machinery and line of by-the-numbers dialogue gets cruelly exposed. The high-profile cast is not exactly bad, but strikes few sparks. In a sexual rondelet of two couples, it doesn't help that Natalie Portman exudes all the allure of an average 12-year-old playing dress up, while Jude Law opts to push his boyishness to new extremes.

Body: [quote user="pippin06"] [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="SkyPilot"] 3. Amelie [/quote] Boooooooooo!!! I love this one and everything else by Juenet. The rest of the list I can't disagree with but mine would look more like: 1. Platoon - Hamburger Hill was better........... trust me. 2. Goodfellas/Casino/Taxi Driver - I didn't really get into a Scorsese film until The Departed. These others were OK, but that's about it. If it weren't for Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese would be the most overrated director. 3. Shakespeare In Love - this was when I stopped watching or caring about the Oscars 4. Gladiator - see No. 3 - And I actually liked Black Hawk Down better for a Ridley Scott film. 5. Shawshank Redemption - This one was clever but c'mon. No. 1 on IMDB's top 250 list is just ridiculous. [/quote] leeroy, I think you are harsh on Scorsese, and he didn't only make those three flicks prior to the Departed. In the land of overrated for Scorsese, I submit Gangs of New York and The Aviator. I hate them, and they were nominated a million times for a million awards (and were some in the long line of Scorsese's no-Oscar curse). Though, I totally agree with Gladiator (also doesn't hold up to repeat viewings) and Shakespeare in Love. I was hot when the latter won Best Picture thanks to the alpha-campaignig of the Weinsteins. Saving Private Ryan is a much better film, and I personally and generally prefer romances to war movies any day, but come on. And now I see why Shawshank might be considered overrated Ok, I concede on that point, but I'm with leeroy on Amelie. [/quote]

Body: This is not intended to be as snarky as it probably reads, but looking down this column of movie posters, it's remarkable how many terrible films are listed. I say that even though I've seen most of them and enjoyed many. But when Linda Fiorentino has to be moved over from film noir, the proper category for devious _ but by no means kick-ass _ Wendy/Bridget, you know the pickings are slim in this genre. Nevertheless, here's a few that deserve attention: Terminator (1984) Linda Hamilton as a regular woman becoming kick-ass. Honorable mention to Kristanna Loken for the lesser T3. House of Flying Daggers (2004) Astoundingly beautiful, with astoundingly beautiful assassin Zhang Ziyi. Serenity (2005) Even before becoming a Terminator, Summer Glau was a very, very dangerous person. Why are there links to Firefly but not its movie, or is this now supposed to be Firefly Part 2? Innocent Blood (1992) Anne Parillaud, the original Femme Nikita, blazes through the very, very narrow category of Vampire against the Mob movies. Dangerous Beauty (1998) Granted, Catherine McCormack really only kicks Oliver Platt's butt, but she beats the Inquisition as well. Besides, she's too beautiful to ignore, especially with sword in hand. Aliens (1986) The installment in which Sigourney Weaver actually kicks butt, rather than merely surviving, and before the series lost any shred of coherence. Lifeforce (1985) Mathilda May. Space Girl. Resistance really is futile. King Arthur (2004) All right, I concede that at 98 pounds in her training bra, Keira Knightley doesn't make the most awe-inspiring warrior princess. But smeared with woad, or at least blue paint, and strapped into a skimpy and very uncomfortable looking leather harness, Knightley is still quite energetic at defending Roman Britain from the Saxon hordes. Besides, she deserves cumulative points from the ridiculous Domino and never-ending Pirates movies. This is another startling omission from the database.

Body: Cute. Mild. Talkative. Conventional. White. Bourgeoisie. Tease. Chuckles. If these words aren't already in the tag cloud for Young People Fucking, you should go over them while deciding whether to watch it. There is a plot, but the real set-up is this: pals Martin Gero and Aaron Abrams developed a mild sex comedy, the kind the French watch over petit déjeuner. For a laugh, they decided to slap a flamboyant title on it. Ha-ha, Aaron and Martin laughed. Ha-ha, they laughed, all the way to the poorhouse. Their decision turned their little trifle of a script into a cause celebre in Ottawa, triggering a debate over government funding for the arts. Meanwhile, in the moviehouses, mainstream audiences were scared off. In the fundamentalist US, the box office approached five figures. On the other hand, hard-core audiences found nothing to get excited about. In fairness, it's always easier to identify other people's self-destructive decisions than one's own. In fact, if you do watch Young People Fucking, you'll find nothing to get irate about. You may not find much to get hot and/or bothered about either, but that's a matter of taste. It's like an episode of "Friends," with benefits. As indicated in the synopsis, the movie follows four couples and one threesome through a night's events. At barely 90 minutes including the credits, though, there's not much screen time to spread around. As a result, the cast spends a lot of time rushing through backstories in an effort to make us care about their characters. This movie could have benefitted by borrowing Basil Exposition from the Austin Powers movies. Abrams makes himself the closest thing to the male lead, opening the movie meeting with a long-time friend in a one-night attempt to distract themselves from their mutual losing streaks in relationships. As the female near-lead, suavely vulgar Carly Pope enunciates the movie's thesis, "Sometimes a f*ck is just a f*ck." The rest of the movie is a tell-and-tell-and-tell-and-show effort to develop an antithesis. Abrams and Pope are likable performers, and they go through the script's checklist of points crisply. Not with a lot of sexual tension, but a lot of professionalism. And speaking of sex, that's mainly what Abrams and Pope do, talk about off-screen activity. Even when they're supposedly going at it, Gero makes careful use of studied camera angles and deep shadow to keep Abrams' private parts private. The actor could be playing the title role in "Chuck" except with state secrets imprinted on his butt instead of his brain. Pope has a gorgeous face, but she's all hair and makeup, teeth and lips. The more clothes Pope takes off, the more immature she looks. (Although Carly Pope has no reason to wear a bra under any circumstances, she keeps her 30 AA-cup on for all but about 10 seconds.) Abrams and Pope also launch another thread common to the other plot lines: his character is freaking out over the situation and having performance trouble; hers is pushing for action. That's even more so with the young marrieds played by Kristin Booth and Josh Dean. Both are looking for more spice in their sex life. He's the sensitive type. She's unnecessarily concerned about her weight. As they blunder through the subsequent conversation, he spends part of the time talking with his face framed by her thighs. It's amusing, but the emotional level is strictly sit-com. Eventually, they go for a mild reversal of sexual roles, with no nudity. By far the best looking pair in the movie, Callum Blue and Diora Baird, are cast according to type. He's a player, playing on his accent and thin but muscular build. With her extravagant bosom and dramatic beauty, Baird could have anyone she wants. So the very minor mystery is, why does she seem so innocent? But don't expect much skin. Together, these well-built people expose about as much flesh as whisper-thin Carly Pope. Buried in the heart of this movie, there is one thoughtful and almost moving storyline. Sonja Bennett and Josh Cooke play former lovers, getting back together as friends and deciding to have one for old time sake. The two have the chemistry missing from the other couples, and keep their essential sadness just below the surface. They also look good enough to be hot together without being so gorgeous that their attraction seems merely physical. Again, though, the sex is curiously staged to protect Cooke from exposing anything critical, although the small-breasted Bennett does her part. I'd be happy to see a movie about these characters, or watch these actors paired in a more fully realized vehicle. The threesome is played strictly for laughs. Nerdish Peter Oldring gets recruited by his roommate, the average-looking Ennis Esmer, to have sex with the latter's mysteriously hot girlfriend, played by Natalie Lisinska. The catch is, Esmer insists on not only watching, but directing the action. Except for Bennett, the rest of the cast owes a debt of gratitude to Oldring, who keeps himself in good shape, and Lisinska, here a flashy blonde. The two energetically mime the sex that most of the actors underplay or avoid. Other elements of the threesome are interesting, but perhaps not intentionally. It's the only section that raises the option of gay sex, not that it wants to get too far with that on screen. The driving force, so to speak, is Esmer, who is also the only cast member whose looks vaguely suggest the possibility of anything other than pure Caucasian blood. As it happens, he's Turkish. It's remarkable that the people who made and cast this movie apparently don't know any, for instance, Japanese-Canadian actors. But I'm sure they all have a favourite Japanese restaurant in Vancouver.

Body: `The Quick-Quick-Slow Death' isn't necessarily the best episode of `The Avengers,' but is a good example of the high style and high spirits of the series. Some viewers may find it too campy, but it's the closest thing to surrealism in TV serial form of anything but `The Twilight Zone,' and generally in better humour. In the opening, a man is pushing a pram along a crowded street. It rolls away from him, at unexpectedly high speed, and when it overturns there's a dead man inside. No, none of this is remotely plausible, but it is exciting and strikingly inventive. Right from the start, you realize this isn't the usual police procedural. Fortunately, unusual investigators are near to hand. Patrick Macnee as suave spy/counterspy John Steed and Diana Rigg as posh tomboy Emma Peel sort through the usual Avengers-style clues: rented evening wear, a message on a garlic sausage, a rose tattoo, a delivery of shoes. Our heroes investigate in their charmingly aggressive fashion. There's a great, thrilling visual where Steed really must mind his step, while Emma has a shoe salesman in a sweat when she puts her attractive tootsies in his hands. In true Avengers fashion, all of this somehow leads to a dance studio, where there's chicanery afoot. Emma gets hired as an instructress for owner Lucile Banks, while Steed soon becomes a very important client. Momentum gathers for a graduation gala with drunken band leader Chester Read presiding over recorded music. None of this quite tops the opening pram trip, but viewers should enjoy the ride. An interesting casting note: Lucille is played by the beautiful Eunice Grayson, who appeared as James Bond's girlfriend in Sean Connery's first two outings. Of course, Diana Rigg was the leading lady in the subsequent `On Her Majesty's Secret Service' with George Lazenby as Bond. Both experiences went poorly. Grayson's recurring part was written out. Spurned by Lazenby after a brief affair, Rigg publicly feuded with him. Despite their common link to Bond, the two women could hardly be more different physically: Grayson is dark, voluptuous and no more than average height; Rigg red-headed, boyish and fairly tall. Just like the two women's Bond careers, not everything works well here. Rigg's wardrobe isn't particularly flattering, she's not exactly a dancing machine and putting her in high heels to have her looming over short male dance partners demonstrates the show's comedic writing is not always sophisticated. But the ending is fizzy with madcap mayhem, which still manages to ooze style. Macnee looks very handsome, a truly glamorous leading man who has Eunice Grayson right where he wants her. Grayson wins the evening gown competition in a walk: her black dress hugs her dangerous curves, while Rigg's white V-neck hangs limply on her flat bosom. But Rigg's lack of cleavage poses no obstacle in action scenes, even when it's necessary for her to firmly chest butt a partner across the dance floor. And if you find this description hard to follow, don't miss her summing up.
