Star Trek ever seems to have money.
“The human race has moved past that”
Sounds like ObamaLand. Obama has the ears to play Spock. Star Trek was highly overrated.
And your proof is where? Certainly not in her highly capitalist working life?
‘was not jimmy stewart one too?’
John Wayne and Ronald Reagan also, I suppose.
‘She was definitely a knockout. And pretty tall, too.’
She was originally a showgirl in shows like Ziegfield’s Follies. All showgirls are tall.
Cool story!
My late mom, who flew for TWA in the Connie days, told me that Lucy was banned from flying on TWA after her repeated and haughty treatment of the hostesses. (They also lived in the same Connecticut town.)
Does that square with what you know?
By the way, Mom also told me that Cary Grant was a sheer delight when she had him on a flight - she flew a lot of the transatlantic routes during and after WW II, when actors, actresses, musicians and dancer did a lot of USO work. I was relieved to hear that: I loved his performance in “Father Goose” and didn’t want to be disillusioned. :)
LOL!
Desi Arnaz despised Castro and contributed money to anti-Castro groups.
Hollywood is filled with skivers and cheats. No wonder Ridley Scott was so dismissive of Hollywood. The man is a real talent.
You’re really high on RS aren’t you? He’s more of a designer than a director. In ‘Blade Runner’ his empty glitter and neon just happened to fit and enhance the material but I don’t think he ever really grasped it.
I think the film was a lot more than empty glitter. The rewrite of Philip Dick’s book by Peoples and Hampton Fancher was quite good. The visuals and cast were outstanding. If Ridley Scott had stopped after doing Blade Runner and Alien he would be considered by most as a great director.
Deeley’s three films Italian Job (English one), Deer Hunter and Blade Runner were all very good films.
Most American filmmakers/directors are rubbish. The exceptions are Francis Ford Coppola, Scorsese, Cimino, Curtis Hanson, and DePalma plus maybe Friedkin for Live and Die In LA.
Well I said that in the case of BR, he fell into a situation where the material and his design based aesthetic merged with mutually beneficial results. I was talking about the rest of his career. The American cinema is historically as rich as any in the world.
