I'm thinking about movies with this scene. That movie done several years about that won the Academy--French actors, B&W, no words spoken. And that movie by Mel Brooks, hmm I think he did with nobody saying a word except for that famous mime. As you can tell I'm no good with titles today. :-)Su-sieee!

If Warren Beatty wrote it, directed it, and produced it, at least two out of three for sure if past is prologue, you know it's good. <br /> <br />The Player shows Hollywood movies as formulaic. Of course it's formulaic it's a formula. <br /> <br />Wag The Dog. Dustin Hoffman plays Stanley Motss /Robert Evans. "Producers never get the credit! Everybody knows the director and the actors. Nobody knows the producer." Then he agrees to produce a fake war. "I don't want an ambassadorship. Hell, I'd just do it for the credit."<br /><br />"No you can't take credit." Robert DeNiro. <br /><br />"Of course not. That was just a figure of speech," Hoffman.<br /><br />After creating a great show....<br /><br />"Look at that! That is a complete fucking fraud, and it looks a hundred percent real. It's the best work I've ever done in my life, because it's so honest," Hoffman. <br /><br />"Stanley, don't do this. You're playing with your life here," DeNiro. <br /><br />Then DeNiro (foreshadowing - he's done it before) has Hoffman iced for trying to take credit for a fake war he produced. The whole thing: The music, the pageantry, the actors. <br /><br />The Kid Stays In The Picture. Robert Evans should be a senator. He can talk for over an hour and loves the sound of his own voice. <br /><br />*****<br /><br />They say, "Write what you know." Therefore a majority of scripts are about writers trying to make it in Hollywood. NOBODY knows the writers. Nobody wants to know the writers. You're John Wayne swaggering just off set in character and you run into -- the writer. The writer who wrote your dialogue. You don't want to know there Are writers. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117229416864032647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-23276560781214240232018-04-12T23:38:05.300-04:002018-04-12T23:38:05.300-04:00No, Mia Farrow isn't in STARDUST MEMORIES.

It's pretty weird.<br /><br />The movie you REALLY NEED to see is 'TORTILLA FLAT'. Based on what I know of your movie tastes, I think you're really screwing up by having (STILL) not seen it, despite how many times I've mentioned it. <br /><br />It would not at all surprise me if 'TORTILLA FLAT' turned out to be one of your Top 50 movies of all time, and maybe even higher than that. (It's in MY Top Ten!)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T. McCarthy Reviews...</a></b>Stephen T.

I already chose Singing twice before so I thought I better pick another although this film is the best especially Jean Hagen as Lena Lamont. Who can forget Cyd Charisse! I chose a Woody Allen film a couple weeks back and, despite what I think of him as a man, he is one talented director and writer.

Fascinating to think of former silent movie star Swanson playing a former silent movie star, though she at least made it to talkies early. You’re right about those men being nuts! Even crazier was the director who let them do it. If a stunt man hurts himself, you can get another one. If the actor is injured, who is going to replace him till his broken leg is fixed? That’s why even skilled actors rarely do their own stunts. <br />Have you seen the film Hugo? Noe, THAT is an amazing movie about movies! It was about Georges Melieres, who did those wonderful early science fiction films, only through the eyes of a young boy in a Paris railway station..
