Good episode. Now kill the witches from the planet Maul came from.
For anyone who’s interested, these Nightsister Witches are from the Nightsister clan who enslaves Zabrak (Maul’s race) males. It appears that though the Nightsisters united many of the clans of Dathomir there are other witch clans like Singing Mountain which could house lightside witches and/or force sensitives as students or allies for the upcoming New Jedi Order.
Busby Berkeley’s a big deal in early musical films. He was there from the beginning of talkies when sound first came about. His direction of the dance sequences during the musical numbers made him very famous. With this film, he finally got to direct an entire picture & not just the musical sequences.
Benny Goodman scored over 20 pieces for this. Although his drummer Gene Krupa went on to lead his own band, legend Louis Belson did this film. With Benny’s music, Busby features the super cute Carmen Miranda in a large production of The Lady In The Tutti-Fruiti Hat as she leads 100 chorus girls in a Berkeley banana masterpiece that pretty much solidified Carmen’s identity.
Zanuck’s protege baby face Alice Faye is the star. She’s the wife of Jack Benny band leader Phil Harris (also known as Jungle Book’s Balloo The Bear, Thomas from The Aristocats & Robin Hood’s Little John). Alice sings many featured songs including a super psychedelic truly kaleidoscopic Journey To A Star & the uber neon Polka Dot Ballet with kid dancers as well as chorus girls.
Throughout the film, Busby features ballroom dancing with Tony DeMarco & acrobatic dance as well as his large chorus numbers. There are lots of great co-stars, including the great character actors Charlotte Greenwood & Edward Everett Horton (Later known for Bullwinkle’s Fractured Fairy Tales).
Movies like this aren’t going to be thick with plot & story since that’s not their point. A production like this is more like a filmed stage performance, not unlike a Cirque DeSoliel show. It’s just big entertainment with loose story points to knit it together. Busby is a thing all his own, and a few people noted this particular Busby work is sort of like Fantasia since it has some odd trippy visuals in it. He used choreography but also photography tricks for his 1st full-length direction.
A country worried with a world at war needed something happy, so Busby was given this script, lots of money, time & full 3 color film stock to capture a production that would give weary audiences something other than war.
Yeah, he is in most things he does so that would be enough to find me considering a “car movie” again.
For a show that started out so fun and wild. It sure got somber and just plain sad. Like MASH. And also like MASH, I watched and enjoyed every episode.
I wish they still made sci-fi this good!
Your wish might be granted….a remake of 1981’s Outland is on the way. With the title Outland: Lunar Outlaws, the reboot will have a much stronger focus than the original on isolation, corporate greed, and survival.
thanks for three great years, guys; we’ll miss you
So sad they ended this show too. Seems to be the way these days. The good ones never last. Thanks for all the great belly laughs and real life lessons. You will be missed.
Clara has her eye on a guy that’s already been promised to someone else. Films from this era were printed on highly fragile stock. The Library Of Congress saved most of this one. It’s a coherent 1 hour story of Clara scheming to shoot cupid’s arrow.
Mary Jane West became Mae West & was a very big deal with controversial views, star power & bawdy burlesque style.
That was when they smuggled in their dogs, right? I agree, it was entitlement and perceived privilege and they deserved more than they got.
Yes thats right, when she smuggled their dogs in and called him to tell the authorities that it was both of their idea to do so ! The case is still due to go to trial here in Australia but her lawyers delay/adjourn the dates based on family ( her baby) complications. Smh
Tiny cute spunky fiery ginger Clara Bow came from extremely impoverished conditions but really became the 1st IT girl, a media sensation- more popular than anyone. The trash talk they laid on her just for being a poor girl who found fame went to court a lot. She had close to 60 films, with about 10 talkies. She retired BIG BIG BIG at only about 30-ish then married a lieutenant governor & became a desert rancher. She died alone at just 60 in 1965. What a lady. She was the epitome of the flapper girl.

Good movie. David Harbour was good, too.
Yeah, he is in most things he does so that would be enough to find me considering a “car movie” again.
hahahaha! I broke my own rule and I watched a trailer. Great cast of insane actors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VHLDCctajI
Maybe it’s just me, but I swear the music that is played for the closing credits reminds of the intro music from Yellowstone.
I guess this will be deleted as utterly offensive, But what a goo.. A King and his ? What? lovely, so lovely whore? And so beautiful, Soo romantic.. Ohh. I realy hope this is what the future leads us to. I put my hope in Trump. I mean he likes gold and girls yes? Maybe not as romantic but it is a start. And don’t Jeanne and Ivanka look more than a bit alike?
I realy also wish to be a king and have loving whore that look out to not irritate me. No I really do! I would also give her Champagne and walk backwards in that funny way and let her dress like me.
I don’t usually vote down reviews, but since this was just a rant, yeah, down-vote it is.lol
“give her Champaign” noun: A stretch of level and open country; a plain.A flat open country.
Oh! Did you mean Champagne a sparkling wine? lol
Here is the latest date for the start of season 4 and it will be January 14, 2024…..dang…several more months. Just watched the trailer and dang! Jodie Foster is looking old and I’m older than she is, but she looks way older than me.
Yes he was wonderful, I agree ! That tear he shed at the end really proved how much he loved her too. I adore Johhny D also, but he never watches the movies he makes, so I cant say that he actually gives a crap about what part he plays nowadays. He has a huge debt and he is taking on any roles that he can get , whilst rolling around in his own vomit recently in Budapest as hes back on the drugs again. His face used to be a work of ART..but recently he looks worse than the King with smallpox < sighs >
Give the man some slack! His girlfriend SHAT in his freaking BED..??? And told lies about him on the internet. How would you feel. Not like the princess i would guess, and probably would need a drink right?

I met the man & his nutjob girlfriend when they were visiting Australia in 2022 and they violated the country’s biosecurity. She needs to be locked up ! He’s a darling of a man but dont take a nose dive after such a sweet defeat Johnny! Anyways it his life and he can do as he wishes…but he played himself in this movie. He is as kind and as sweet as the King. So glad that the vulture is not bleeding him dry anymore. Karma is taking care of her now !
Oh, Right you are.. Champagne.. That was it! I am so sorry. You have to excuse me, I’m just a humble Maga Dude not knowing very much better. I should have kept to my class grunt and have taking the safe road and said bubbel wine or “That fancy beer”, not have tried to raise over my station like that. It is actually the fault of the spell help that tempts me to do it. In reality I’m probably not even fit to be the butler, as I wouldn’t be able to stop drooling and you know.. and cry from envy mixed with some strange, unknown feelings of growing in the meeting with tis so beautiful concept of romanticism. I do not know.. But you must forgive me, I’m just at the beginning at my journey. I see it now, It actually was real love!! She absolutely would have done all that we know she did even if it was the rebelious stable boy.. And all this curly, goldy, shiny, stuff actually do look very good. I mean, I also really like it. So again sorry, and please upvote me again. I’m really like you on the inside, even if I am a bit ugly on the outside. But I’m sure she would have looked through it if she just got to know me. OK?
Famed for Clara’s unrestrained free spirited girly-girl nekkidity, this is Fleming’s adaptation of the Tempski book set in Hawaii.

Just ran across and article about the Book of Eli and this movie was mentioned. I shall have to remember to watch it next spring.
I watched this movie when it came out and I did like it but I never thought about this though……”In an entertainment landscape where franchises are continually expanded, The Book of Eli deserves its shot at becoming the next post-apocalyptic blockbuster series, offering something both familiar and refreshingly different for fans of the genre.” But could we handle another series like this one? I think I would watch it for the fact there are no zombies. At times I get tired of the bloody gore of the zombies series.
I know I saw this movie in theaters because Sean Connery was one of my favorite actors. I’ll have to watch this movie again.
I’m a bit confused by the release date that is attached to it here on PW. The actual release date will be February 2, 2024. Filming started in August of 2021 and continued on into 2022. I have always like Henry Cavill, and I would like to see him take over the role of Bond, James Bond. Of course, no one will portray Bond like Sean Connery and Daniel Craige, but I think Henry could pull it off. I’ll watch this movie and see how good he can play the spy. I just watched the trailer, and it is a bit funny and a totally different than what you would expect. Now I have to see this movie. Dang, February is a long way off!
I had forgot that I posted a comment about this movie 6 months ago. I need to put it on my “to watch in the new year list”. I posted recently that it still amazes me that England kept the Nazis at bay for as long as they did, and this movie shows what it took to achieve that. I think we shall be hearing of other things the Brits did along with the Allies for years to come. And they did it all without the kind of technology we have in the 21st century.
Clara Bow stars in a story that begins with wrongful conviction. From there it gets rough.
I will never trust someone who hated this film. I thought it was insane, Kaitlyn Dever blew my mind.
Patricia Clarkson is such a wonderful actress supported by Rupert Everett, and Wendy Crewson; this has got to be good.
R.I.P. Sir Michael Gambon, who played Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore 🙏🏽

Thank you for making a comment about this new series, I had not heard about this drama. But damn, I didn’t recognize Rupert Everett, he has really aged and I never would have know he was in this drama if you hadn’t mentioned it.
Brazilian hottie Carmen Miranda with Vivian Blaine & comic Phil Silvers in this total WWII era army song & dance flick.
I love WWII movies and I’ll wait for a better copy to be uploaded. It has to be good with Michelle Yeoh in it. Since Kenneth is mumbling, I’ll listen with headphones on….
Yayyyyy!
Damn it. You had me all excited that a new episode was up.
Glad the writers guild strike is over.
Hope all is well in your reality Noel. \m/
