Yesterday Does anybody know if that was really Marlon Singing? It was, Mig. Sinatra and Brando hated each other, and they hardly talked to each other during the filming of this movie. Reportedly, Sinatra was jealous that Brando got the bigger part, a part he wanted for himself. To me, the highlight of the movie was Stubby Kaye's rendition of "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat". I had seen him reprise that role on Broadway, and that song was one of the most exciting moments I've ever seen on the Gay White Way.

SC, I never knew Sinatra/Brando hated each other.  Was it common knowledge and did they hate each other til the end? Sounds like two pretty big egos clashing maybe. TIS

Yesterday I watched on TCM Guys and Dolls. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but I did. It was nice seeing Brando and Sinatra. I gotta get the Col. to buy me this for my b-day this month. Does anybody know if that was really Marlon Singing? Yes Miggy. That was Marlon Brando singing. And rumor has it that Sinatra was really pissed off that Brando got to sing Luck Be A Lady Tonight in that scene instead of him! One of my favorite musicals Mig. Definitely one worth buying for the collection! But for me, the guy who steals the show is an actor named Stubby Kaye (Nicely Nicely). The scene in the Salvation Army office when he sings Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat is perhaps one of the best performances in the entire movie!  EDIT : SC and I must have been replying to MIG's post around the same time!  Great minds SC, great minds.

I seem to remember someone else who had a small part in that movie but went unnoticed. I can't think of who it is now. Willie Mosconi? (the REAL greatest pool player). I think I'm thinking of the guy who played in "The Sting", Dooley's sidekick. The one with the big nose. I think he was in the scene where Eddie hustles the wrong guy, and pays the price. YES YES YES BETH! I had a feeling that you were talking about him, but I don't know his acting name! The camera pans over him in the scene you are talking about! That face/pug nose is one that you just don't forget! Definitely him!

BTW Svsg, the best movie of 2007 so far?
It looks like I haven't watched many new movies this year. So I am not really sure. I will watch American Gangster when it comes to my $-theater soon. I definitely missed a chance to watch Eastern Promises and Assassination of Jesse James. I think I won't be able to watch Darjeeling as well. I am planning to watch Bewoulf today hopefully and if possible Ratatouille one of these days. I have bumped up the 2007 movies thread. I know you have said Zodiac is your favorite so far, but I would like to see your fresh list. Has your vote changed? Well, this was my top 10 list so far: (1) ZODIAC (2) EASTERN PROMISES (3) AMERICAN GANGSTER (4) THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (5) SHOOT' EM UP (6) THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD (7) BUG (8) 3:10 TO YUMA (9) MICHAEL CLAYTON (10) GONE BABY GONE Close But No CigarWE OWN THE NIGHT SMOKIN' ACES THE SIMPSONS MOVIE BLACK SNAKE MOAN SERAPHIM FALLS But we have a whole fucking month to go, so much will change. Trust me.

As much as I like Sinatra, it's hard to picture anyone else but Brando in Waterfront, you know????  TIS I like that movie TIS. I have that one in my Gangster collection. Hopefully that movie and other Brando movies will come on tv soon.

HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II  1/2 (First Viewing) So far, these have got to be some of the strangest, weirdest horror films I've ever seen. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, it's just different. This is pretty disgusting in some parts and that's saying something with my stomach for horror films. Ashley Laurence does another fine job as Kirsty Cotton.

Watched both F/X (1986) and F/X2 (1991) tonight... I thought they'd be interesting since I like learning about special effects (sfx), and they were fun to watch despite being a bit dated (we've come a long way in the past 20 years! ) I kept saying to myself this'd probably make a good TV series, and apparently it was, tho I've never seen it nor has it been released on home video. Too bad. Oh yeah, and I also saw the newer The Dead Zone (2002) -- basically the first 2 episodes of the TV series presented as a movie, and it was pretty cool. I've added the TV series to my NetFlix queue ... The Dead Zone (1983) (based on the novel by Stephen King) Directed by: David Cronenberg Starring: Christopher Walken, with Martin Sheen A teacher (Walken), on his way home with a coworker he's in love with, gets into a traffic accident and winds up in, and then awakes from, a long coma. He's now gifted (?) with the power to see -- and change -- the future simply by touching someone. This came in handy a few times, especially once he shook hands with a cheesy politician. Speaking of cheesy, this was made in the 80s.  Performances were overly performed as a result. I like the idea of the story, but plan to see the 2002 version first (starring Anthony Michael Hall, which then became an of-course TV series) ...before I give a final comparison rating... but so far it's a **1/2 or *** of 5... Final rating, 7.5/10
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

I watched "Bad Boys 2" on TV last night,its the 2nd time ive seen this film and was disapointed this time, its on far too long and its so over the top with a gun battle in every other scene, i like those two together, but it looked like they was trying too hard, so much differant than the first one ,was it because differant makers or something..

So I ended up watching this instead. Though the movie was long, I never felt it was dragging at any stage. A very well made movie in terms of pacing and acting by both the lead stars. i usually get annoyed by Russel Crowe, but for a change I liked him in this role. Denzel Washington plays his usual well-mannered, smooth talking role to perfection. All the comparisons to Godfather are baseless though. Maybe superficially valid, but not really at any thematic level.
