Here’s a sampling of some old Coming Attractions to chew on.
My dad’s old friend Bill Tinker said this movie was “Heavy on the unbearable, light on the being.” I didn’t get the movie at all when I first saw it at 16 but later on, I got it. The two female leads are devastating and Daniel Day sports a hellacious head of hair.
I love the early New York City scenes in this movie.
My favorite Robin Williams’ perfomance.
I remember watching this one as a kid on a Sunday afternoon with my old man when he was living in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Dag, this movie still creeps the hell out of me. It has to be one of the most unsettling action movies ever made.
The scene with the cops at Bloomingdales is classic.
Alex, you've been big on heads of hair recently (Ted Berg, Nick Swisher, Daniel Day Lewis). Is this a new obsession or a long standing one?
[2] Probably just easing us out of the Joe Torre era... you know dealing with fake hair for so long and all... now back to real hair and its merits...
I mean I sure don't miss those Guiseppe Franco ads in the least! Do you?
;)
Guess I'll have to watch "Unbearable Lightness" again. In college I got an A for a paper describing, in detail, the ways in which I felt I didn't get it.
I think my favorite Lena Olin performance will still be in "Romeo is Bleeding," though. Yowza. May foist, Decemba foist.
Ah, Harry and Tonto... aka How Art Freaking Carney Stole the Best Actor Oscar From Both Al Pacino (The Godfather Part II) and Jack Nicholson (Chinatown).
