Pardon me for being completely out of the loop...but WHY was he snubbed? And what for?

Per 10 Actors to Die while filming :

I was SO sad when Jon Erik Hexum died! So upset (of course I was about 14/15 yrs old when this happen, so you'll understand the interest) - I loved Voyagers.

I just recently watched The Cowboys, one of my favorite Wayne movies and in it there is a scene where he is saying goodbye to his wife before starting out on his drive to Montana. IIRC, Wayne is giving last instructions and she stops him and says something to the effect of "take care of yourself, I'll be thinking of you." And he says [sic] "don't do that." When she asks him why not, he gives her this look and says "you won't be able to sleep."

And the woman in me when YEEEEEEAAAAAH! *fans self*

Now imagine Clooney saying that. The woman in me says EWWWWWW!!

Can we please now have biopics a.k.a cinematic anal probes with a hard twist on the actors who have done biopics like this one? When do I get to see the justice of that?!

What DemsAreMarxists said...me too.

I just want to know something: when are we going to get through with the 60s/70s revival? Everytime I see those colors/styles/hairdos etc, I get this sick feeling in the base of my stomach. I lived through it the first time - was SO glad when things changed in the 80s...and here I am, not even in the first breath of my middle age and Im having to watch people actually romanticize that time period?! Are they serious? Can we find some of way of stopping the fashionistas/nostalgia from digging down to *that* particular layer of the garbage dump and excavating all those things we were so very happy to get rid of the first time? Just because it was all plastic and polyester and pretty much in the same shape as it was the day it was banished from our lives does NOT mean it should be resurrected.

Youre absolutely right...they should have hung them from a bridge and burned the bodies.

I personally prefer Springtime for Hitler (Obama) LOL

I am glad others like Good Morning Vietnam...I can never watch a Robin Williams movie when my husband is in the house because he hates the man so...but I think he's brilliantly funny (although it still jars when he goes Leftist Catty Swipe). I remember when GMV first came out - I was very moved. Dead Poets Society was good but too melodramatic. I guess it seemed overreaching to me to have a character commit suicide simply because Daddy didn't like him being in plays...but then I guess the lesson of the film was that the young man missed entirely the point of William's advocacy of rebellion? I dunno. That was just one of the things that rang a bit false for me.

I love your post. Its all kinds of win!
