We have a huge collection of Wells biographies (we're planning to write a screenplay about the relationship between John Houseman and Wells-- it's fascinating.) But I don't know if we have that one...

Wait, Steph, you didn't like Little Miss Sunshine? Awww. (edited to say-- err, yeah. You guys beat me to a discussion about it.)

I've always wondered if Cotten and Wells had a thing. They had such natural chemistry in CK and 'The Third Man'.

I think Ponine's talking about the second volume of Simon Callow's Welles bio. I appreciated the first one, though I felt like he went a little too far out of his way to "expose" Welles. I know that the Leaming one is filled with hyperbole, but it's still my favorite.

GC - Have you seen Journey Into Fear? I enjoy it more than the extant version of Ambersons.

I haven't seen it. I will now, though. But I bet it's one of those never been on DVD films... Grrr. It sounds good. Evil Nazi agents. (Nazis. I hate these guys.)


I'm waiting for Netflix to send me a copy of 'My Family and Other Animals'. I saw some of it on PBS and loved what I saw.


That reminds me. Has anyone here seen 'My Father's Glory' and 'My Mother's Castle'? They're two beautifully shot 'family on vacation' movies. It's light and airy and fun.

A favorite movie. I first watched it in college and have seen it about five times. My grandfather met Rita Hayworth. Said she was a classy broad who could drink like a fish. He quite liked her.

She was gorgeous in that film. Glen Ford. Ah.

Ahhhh, the first "Running With Scissors" trailer is out.

I like the look of it and the music, but it's hard to tell from a trailer. But, for once, I'm excited about the filming of a novel - or memoir, actually.

Baited breath.

No, I was talking about Citizen Kane.

I really liked Little Miss Sunshine.

Right, thus the "edited to say: you guys beat me to a discussion about it."

For a writer, sometimes I'm so damn unclear!

Ok, let me rephrase. I LOVED Citizen Kane! I need to watch it a few more times to fully appreciate it. I fell asleep for five minutes because we were watching it late at night. When I fell asleep he was driving off with his second wife. When I woke up they were in Xanadu and the doctor was at her bed. Did she try to kill herself?

That's my take on it. He does say something to the nurse about not knowing how Mrs. Kane mixed up these bottles etc.
