I love his notion that absent Greta, he would of course been chosen. Also he hasn't seen a movie since he was a kid and his mom grudgingly took him to see a couple of movies, namely GWTW (her favorite) and Sunset Blvd (also her favorite, she liked William Holden). Maybe she didn't even take him, just talked about them. "I do like that Bill Holden, I must say, don't tell your father, he hates him." Donald then rushes to tell Fred, who beats HIM. Now we're all having to suffer the results of his cruel parents.I mean it reveals a STUNNING unawareness of the singularly most popular American art form. Pretty much anyone, no matter what age, is aware of current movies and could name, probably, the other movies up for Oscars this year, and certainly could come up with quite a few movies made in the past 70 years. I mean, he's just such a filthy pig. But it's so, so depressing to see anyone, even knowing that most of them have been paid, cheering and applauding his filth. I will literally never forgive them.
13th highest grossing film of all time: Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi4th highest grossing film of all time: Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens
The rise of Skywalker not on the top 20 list? Say it isn't so!
Okay, it isn't so: 20th highest grossing film of all time (Tied with Minions): Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker
please note that TRoS is still in some theaters and will be earning more money on pay-per-view etc. Also consider that movies #15-20 are terribly close in total receipts, so it seems to my non-industry eye to be unlikely that TFoS will finish lower than 15th.
Criticize the movies how you like, but to pretend that Star Wars fans aren't paying to see these movies is a tad silly.
I'm figuring he probably saw Gone with the Wind and Sunset Boulevard at an old time revival house in NYC, maybe the Thalia, back in the day when we had revival houses. Maybe his mentor Roy Cohn took him so he could cop a feel.
When it comes to the Great Movie Harvest of 1939 (and yes, it's an astonishing year), I am all about Stagecoach. Not the most enlightened film either, but it stomps Gone With the Wind thoroughly for sheer entertainment.
As someone who can coast through all three hours of Barry Lyndon without noticing the time, Gone With the Wind is hard to claw through. A great visual experience, the burning of Atlanta is an impressive technical feat, but … ugh. Get me back to Kubrick's 18th century please.
I love the early sound-film breakouts, when performance shifted from the silent acting to experiment with voices. Watching Cagney in The Public Enemy and Edgar G. Robinson in Little Caesar is seeing the awe-inspiring birth of a new art form—the movie actor.
Related story: Trumpet-player James "Bubber" Miley, who developed the distinct "growling" trumpet sound with a plunger mute as part of Duke Ellington's orchestra in the 1920s, managed to get jobs playing for all-white bands. EXCEPT, he had be dressed as a waiter or an usher when the band performed, playing from down on the floor of the establishment, or else he was hidden behind a screen.
Yeah, and the Scarlet Pimpernel?? I ask ya!
Oh for one time to have the mics on when he thinks he's alone and talks about how he really feels about his rubes ...
Did he confuse North and South Korea or is he mad at S. Korea because of his loving relationship with Kim Jong Un?
pretty much Ted Nugent's career in a nutshell

It's not that he doesn't want to admit it.
It's that he feels the anger when the Oscars come up, but his syphilitic brain won't let him remember why he's mad.

But … title cards. Reading. Silent. Black and white. He'd be bored in a few minutes.

It breaks my heart to think of all the talented artists who were not allowed to be in the establishments at which they performed.
Yes.
Indeed, it's getting us killed.
