I don't think I have seen that one yet and here I thought I had see every movie older than I am made in America . . .

Interesting. I thought her performance was unusually contemporary and understated. I always like Fonda; I just didn't care for his character.

I'm a big Preston Sturges fan and really liked The Lady Eve. He always wrote such good banter.

I love Double Indemnity very much, but still am of the opinion that it would have been even better with someone other than Barbara Stanwyck.

It is the best performance form her that I've seen but it still isn't all that great (in my opinion, of course, obviously a lot of people disagree with me).

When I think of Barbra Stanwyck, I think of someone with an immobile face and body speaking through slightly clenched teeth with minimal inflection. She's not my favorite.

References to Inception are seeping out everywhere, so I guess it's the thing to see. Looks like we're going to skip a fancy anniversary dinner to play pop culture catch up.

Blame it on my Jason Batemon love, but I want to see THE SWITCH.

That certainly doesn't call to mind the Stanwyck I'm familiar with.
