I'm still playing 'catch-up'...BIRGIT ~<br /><br />I'm still playing 'catch-up' here...<br /><br />I haven't watched the Academy Awards since that slop, 'Terms Of Endearment' (1983), won the Oscar for Best Picture. Later I came to find that the Academy Awards had always been a con.<br /><br />My Pa had always been a big fan of Dean Martin's singing. I was never able to get into it because that "crooning" style just wasn't for me. But it was the movie 'Hollywood Or Bust' that finally made me realize just how good Deano's singing really was. There's a certain song in the movie (not actually the title song) that somehow opened my ears to Dean's talent.<br /><br />Also, there is no movie I can think of that will lighten my mood faster'n 'Hollywood Or Bust'. Martin & Lewis' final movie together is one of the silliest things ever put on film, and it makes me forget all my cares and the sorry state of the world. (I watch it A LOT! In fact, I know I shouldn't admit this, but I've watched it 14 times just since September, 2021. Yeah, it became a "Mr. Toad mania" for me.) <br /><br />My April 1st 'Battle Of The Bands' installment is going to feature songs from 3 movie musicals, and one of the songs included comes from 'Hollywood Or Bust'. This is one of the few times when I honestly have NO IDEA which song is going to win my Battle, but I think you will especially enjoy this next one.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

Some young execs took over that part and it was shameful.

I haven't been to a movie since 2018, either. I don't know why, but in my old age I've gotten into People magazine and the pages where they publish various stars all dressed up. Your descriptions of the worst dressed absolutely had me in stitches. And that hairdo on Jessie Buckley. Oh my.

Still, those were some terrible omissions.<br /><br />My remote control needed to be charged, so instead of buzzing through the commercials and such, I watched the whole thing. I haven't done that in years. Still, the only Hugh Grant I saw was on stage. (I don't do the before and after stuff.)

I did see bits and pieces, but didn't watch the whole show. I agree, Hugh Grant was a total dickhead! It's a shame they couldn't do justice to the In Memoriam segment. Excellent examples of good and bad fashion. Melissa McCarthy - what was she thinking?? As for the songs, you can't go wrong with Dino. He had such a beautiful tone to his voice.

Happy Song Fest Wednesday, dear frien...Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />Happy Song Fest Wednesday, dear friend!<br /><br />I have not watched Going Hollywood because, alas, it's a musical. How about that clip with the black porter at the railway station and the Binger crooning words like:<br /><br />"Out where they say<br />Let us be gay"<br /><br />Dated much?<br /><br />i know the song "H For H" but I have not seen the movie in which it was introduced, Hotel H-wood (1937). As Wiki explains: -- "Hooray for Hollywood" is a popular song first featured in the 1937 movie Hollywood Hotel, and which has since become (together with "That's Entertainment" and "There's No Business like Show Business") the staple soundtrack element of any Academy Awards ceremony. --<br /><br />I have also not seen Hollywood Or Bust, but I could listen to my favorite crooner Dean Martin, all day long and never tire of his voice. It's "like buttah."<br /><br />i didn't watch the Oscars and enjoyed your review. I hate when the producer weasels out and implies that there wasn't enough time in the broadcast to mention everyone in the In Memoriam segment. It is inexcusable if they skipped huge names like Marsha Hunt, Stella Stevens, Robert Blake, Anne Heche, Paul Sorvino,Pat Carroll, Barbara Walters and Robert Morse. <br /><br />Congratulations on making 19 correct guesses in the awards categories. Wow, Angela Bassett looked stunning in that purple creation. Melissa's red explosion was simply too much of a bad thing.<br /><br />Just a friendly reminder, there's a birthday celebration going on this week at Shady's Place and you're invited to the party. There's still some cake left and I hope you can drop by before it gets stale. <br /> <br />If you want it, here it is, come and get it<br />But you'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast<br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday, dear friend BB. I'll be back here waiting for you tamale, sitting in the balcony-- "At The Movies!"Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
