  1. Pontecorvo I like a film called Lucia by Humerto Solas--it's a Cuban film which covers its evolution from the early 1900s thru the 1960s and is done in 3 parts--the first act is a self contained silent picture; the second act is a mob picture; and the third act is a pop/60s picture. Hard to find, but it's brilliant , both thematically and stylistically Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will and DW Griffith's Birth of a Nation and Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator are also notable political classics
  2. I doubt the facts were known to the public back then, either. Why telling a true story like this is denounced as anti-Republican is beyond me. If the moron who criticized it doesnt like it, then he can should his own film...
  3. It's a very good album....they need to recreate a category for remixes
  4. Havent tried it yet--I thought it was just for windows, but its for any format.. I will test it the next time i need to convert something
  5. This was the last Beatle's song released. Originally written by John Lennon, the remaining Beatles got together and re-recorded the song. Here is music video - you can watch it here or at Youtube
  6. ELEVEN years after O J Simpson walked free from America's most controversial murder trial, the former star athlete is at the centre of a row over reports that he is being paid $3.5m for an autobiography in which he describes how he "hypothetically" might have murdered his ex-wife and her male friend. Relatives of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, the two victims of the 1994 double murder that made headlines around the world, expressed disgust and frustration that Simpson might be continuing to profit from a crime that most Americans are convinced he committed, despite his notorious acquittal.

  7. Heather: Paul beat up Linda as well Her latest and most outrageous claim causes fury in the McCartney camp Heather Mills has outrageously alleged that Sir Paul McCartney used to beat up his first wife Linda - a claim that even her own supporters say puts a question mark against her honesty. The former model's extraordinary claim follows the publication of explosive divorce papers alleging that Sir Paul had attacked her with a broken wine glass. She threatened to repeat it in court. A close friend told The Mail on Sunday: "She told me that he did to Linda what he did to her. She says that staff of Paul's told her that Linda had also suffered abuse." Read more Right. I hear there is green cheese on the moon, too
  8. THE double Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman has made an angry attack on the “euthanasia” of the film industry, which he complains tries to “bury” any film that is not an instant cash cow. “If the film doesn’t make money over that first weekend of its release, they will bury it,” said Hoffman, speaking yesterday as he visited Britain for the premiere of his latest film, Stranger Than Fiction, at The Times London Film Festival. The 69-year-old actor, whose films include The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy and Rain Man, said: “Euthanasia is legal in Hollywood. They just kill the film if it doesn’t succeed immediately.” Read more at the Times Online
  9. Altman's best films occured in the early 70s--- # Nashville (1975) # California Split (1974) ... aka Jackpot! # Thieves Like Us (1974) # The Long Goodbye (1973) # Images (1972) # McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) # Brewster McCloud (1970) # MASH (1970) Most of his stuff since then was more experimental, with the exception of Gosford Park, which was another career high...in my opinion. I liked the book "The Player'--but having worked in Hollywood in the movie industry for most of my adult life, The Player seemed like a throwback to the studios of the late 60s and 70s--it played phony for me.
  10. It's an interesting question nontheless...I dont doubt for a moment that he would get a better answer here than at ZeroPaid
  11. Seems like the proper thing to do
  12. Curious as to why it's spam, just because a similar question was posted elsewhere?
  13. trust me, she doesnt want to go there--if someone questions my personal taste, I'm far worse than Ken is on Tuesdays To each their own and then some
  14. What the fuck are you blabbering about? Get some coffee in your system, already :)
  15. I loved The Tin Drum-it was Volker Schlondorf's best film. Speaking of French Films, ever see Diva, Method--it remains one of my all time favorite films?
  16. I saw it in LA, met Pauline Kael. It's not quite as good as say "gimme shelter", but it was an authentic look at what it was like to tour with the band at the time...which, for all the glitter surrounding them, may have been boring
  17. you want her to win because he wrote silly pop songs? she's a fucking golddigger and shouldnt get a nickel
  18. I'd have to know more about the circumstances, but in general, if they took care of you, I'm sure you would want to show your gratitude one way or another, as opposed to say "oweing them"
