Harlan County, USA is on at 9:45 tomorrow. If you haven't seen this excellent documentary about a bloody Kentucky coal mine strike in the early 70's, I highly recommend. 

 

I have been in that area quite a bit because of my job and have mingled with the miners. Had one guy say that they would share their wives (do not want to see pics) with you before they would let you cross a picket line.

I seen this documentary and enjoyed it.

Kopple's "American Dream" about the Hormel strike is also very good.

Please, if you’ve never seen this film then do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s a masterpiece from start to finish. Everything about it is great. The casting, the acting, the lighting, the sound, the music, the wardrobe. It’s got it all. You won’t be disappointed. It’s a delight.

We watched Wings last night. Or at least I did, spouse was working on his laptap and kind of keeping up. One thing about those old silents, multi-tasking is a big challenge!

Gary Cooper making his brief appearance was worth it. Clara Bow may have been the "It" girl of the decade, but Cooper was a nice tall drink of water. We missed the very start, so I didn't hear any of the background story of the film prior to its beginning, but I enjoyed the movie, nevertheless.

Looking at his list of work, I have seen at least 22 of the movies that he was in.  He supported some real heavy weight actors of the time from the late 30's through the late 40's.  Musical, drama, comedy, thrillers, war, westerns, he did them all.

He was in some bad movies, but he was never bad in a movie. For that matter, you can say the same about Jr. He had a solid big screen career playing the same kind of roles and the occasional bad guy before he was The Skipper.

First time I saw it was at Hogg auditorium in mid 80s in the middle of day. A bunch of old old ladies and I were only ones in audience. Stunned at how sharp and funny it was and made me interested in old movies.

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out during my high school years. Have not seen it since. All I remember from it is the theme song! Maybe should give it another look.

William Hurt gone at 71. Damn, I love Broadcast News. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

^^Saw that news; rest in peace to a fine actor.

We sat down for a twofer last night: Bonnie and Clyde and Sense and Sensibility.

Solid performances, although I see why the adapted screenplay for Sense and Sensibility by Emma Thompson won the Oscar, it's a little suspect on the ages of the characters  with the exception of Marianne (Winslet at age 20) because they were much younger in the book. I read that Thompson was reluctant to be cast as Elinor and while she is an amazing actress, I wonder what would've happened if they'd have cast someone like Rachel Weisz, who would've been about 25 at the time and a pretty good actress. I understand why things shook out the way they did and with casting Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, and all, but just one of those things. Also, I love Hugh Laurie in this film. He is such a gem.

Bonnie and Clyde. Well, that one is just a good watch all around. Hadn't seen it for a number of years.
