Text of the page (random words):
ama we have to get the scene where the teacher sees that all of her hard work and sacrifice has paid off when the pupil realizes their dream without this moment the rest of the film has basically been for nothing we don t get the reaction shots from billy s father brother and michael the film completely stops as soon as billy takes the stage so that doesn t give anytime to see what the three characters react to how amazing of a dancer billy has become damnit i just need to see the father tear up or something is that too much to ask stephen daldry the inclusion of michael this choice left me completely puzzled why would you include michael in the scene and not mrs wilkinson his fond farewell to billy just a few minutes ago complete with a touching kiss was perfect non does he really need to be there at the performance anything daldry is going to show would never live up to this earlier scene and what he does end up showing doesn t work at all i can see that he s trying to show how michael has grown up and become who he wanted to be all thanks to billy s courage but it just seems totally unneccessary at this point in all honesty who cares about michael s transformation we want billy the awkward interaction between billy s family and michael seriously do billy s father and brother think their going to catch the gay virus by having a simple conversation with michael was it really that shocking to see him dressed up like boy george and with another man i mean michael was as flaming as a kid could be in a small working class english village what makes this ending all the more horrible is the fact that they had the perfect ending beforehand and completely ruined it the shots of billy s family and mrs wilkinson stuck in their exact same situations with little chance of escaping juxtaposed with billy first arriving at the ballet academy finally escaping his working class surroundings subtly hit the message home add to that michael and billy s goodbye and it became absolutely perfect this real ending feels tacked on and makes little sense in the context of the film or the subgenre for more wonderful entries on the endings on a multitude of different films check out the main page of j d s endings blog a thon over at valley dreamin posted by dame james at 5 47 pm 25 comments labels blog a thon dame julie walters jamie bell le cinema no damnit you should have

the decider a lot of people cite 1939 as the greatest year in the history of cinema the year the movies grew up i read somewhere once and it s rather easy to see why just take a gander at the highly exalted oscar best picture line up love affair and dark victory two of the finest women s pictures of their time gone with the wind the romantic blockbuster that redefined the word epic the wizard of oz the fantasy classic that has gone on to be adored by both adults and children mr smith goes to washington frank capra s scathing attack on washington politics that made james stewart a star stagecoach the first proof that the western could be used to make serious works of art ninotchka the proof that after 15 years of wowing us with her dramatic skills garbo still had more tricks up her sleeve only goodbye mr chips inspirational teacher drama taken to the least interesting degree and wuthering heights a romance that never once feels romantic or passionate really flounder among the nominees i still haven t seen of mice and men add to these seven francois truffaut s favorite film french master jean renoir s society spoof the rules of the game cukor s hilarious bitchfest the women and one of howard hawks best adventure films only angels have wings and it turns out to be quite the year i would love to hear what you think about my picks especially when it comes to my acting nominees four nominations for the wizard of oz but none for margaret hamilton who played the wicked witch of the west greer garson moved from lead to supporting for goodbye mr chips henry fonda sneaking a best actor nom for a film i completely hated and really don t understand the appeal of how do we feel about jean arthur as a whole is her nom for mr smith deserved or is it just another retread of her babe bennett in mr deeds goes to town are rosalind russell and paulette goddard the right women from the women to honor with best supporting actress nominations who would you pick

generally love the magazine the articles are usually well done and actually stick to entertainment matters and doesn t fly off the deep end with political crap unlike another certain entertainment magazine sure it s greatest ever lists generally suck they did devote a tad too much coverage to stephenie meyer and twilight over the past year and i m really tight on money right now needless to say i was on the fence and had no clue what to do that is until i received this week s issue in the mail a couple of days ago it s the year end issue covering the best and worst of 2008 i flipped to the music section to check out their critic s top 10 lists and i was so shocked and outraged by what i saw that i decided then and there that i wasn t going to renew my subscription any magazine that thinks that this is the second best album in any year and thinks that this is one of the five worst of the year is not a magazine that will be getting my money anytime soon i can understand if duffy isn t your preferred style of music lord knows that i have my blind spots as well but calling rockferry strangely blank and duffy a pretty doll propped up by opportunistic industry shills is horribly out of line didn t nickelback release an album this year surely that must have been more devoid of well crafted songs than duffy s album and if the words strangely blank were to be applied to any album from 2008 wouldn t it be i am sasha fierce don t people realize that between the two discs there are only two songs single ladies and radio that are above average the rest of the filler tracks range from dull to simply god awful how anyone can find this the second best album of the year is simply beyond me posted by dame james at 1 32 am 4 comments labels beyonce duffy friday december 26 2008 an open letter to elizabeth taylor circa 1963 dear elizabeth i love you dearly and think you are a fantastic actress no matter how good susan hayward was in i want to live that oscar should have been yours for cat on a hot tin roof and only you could have made the heavily censored and camp tastic suddenly last summer work as well as it did and that scream at the very end still gives me chills by 1960 you were so popular that you jokingly accepted to star in the remake of cleopatra for 1 million and actually received it the highest sum of money an actor had ever received upfront to star in a movie at that time over the course of a grueling three year shoot in which you nearly died you made an additional 6 million bringing your grand total to 7 million which equals about 44 million in today s dollars after witnessing cleopatra tonight the catastrophe that you and 20th century fox call a movie i have only one thing to say you need to return every last cent of that ungodly paycheck i m not going to blame you entirely liz for the crime against humanity that is cleopatra the saying that film is a communal effort has never been more apparent than here but honey standing around reciting lines like you were back on butterfield 8 and staring blankly at both of your co leads rex harrison and richard burton all equally lost and atrocious does not qualify as good acting i don t care if you donate that money to charity finance another movie version of cleopatra that doesn t suck or place it in a rocketship and shoot it to the moon just get rid of those ill gotten gains as soon as possible thank you xoxo dame james posted by dame james at 12 41 am 2 comments labels elizabeth taylor le cinema open letter monday december 22 2008 random top 10 sexiest movies ever entertainment weekly recently picked the 50 sexiest movies ever in their november 28th issue and predictably the list sucks major balls not only does it skew newer as their greatest ever lists always do but some of their entries don t make any sense at all his girl friday at 2 really i know it s been awhile and i m really not it s biggest fan but i seriously don t remember anything that screamed sex at me once at 11 you mean that movie in which the main guy tries to woo the girl in the first scene finds out she s married gives up and spends the rest of the time making his average indie music yeah i couldn t keep my erection down during that one since ew s choices sucked so much i have decided to offer my picks for the 10 sexiest movies ever 10 it happened one night 1934 coming at the beginning of the hays production code which limited the amount of morally objectionable content on screen to absolutely zero it happened one night managed to sneak in almost undetected by the censors not only is the witty repartee brimming with sexual tension but the individual moments the walls of jericho clark gable taking off his shirt the dreamy moment in the hay claudette colbert trying to catch a ride make it even steamier 9 cat on a hot tin roof 1958 sure brick paul newman is a sexually confused alcoholic who wants nothing to do with his wife in heat maggie elizabeth taylor but cat on a hot tin roof captures the sweaty lusty atmosphere of a hot summer day in the deep south unlike any film i ve ever seen through maggie s constant pleading every slight touch and gaze between her and her unresponsive husband radiates more lustiness than you could possibly imagine 8 the lady eve 1941 barbara stanwyck practically glows with sexual prowess everytime she appears on screen no matter the genre but she was never more lust worthy than when she seduces a nerdy henry fonda who was just returning from a year long expedition studying snakes in the amazon in her cabin purring into his ear and slowly running her fingers through his hair this is one sexy scene that would straighten any anaconda 7 romeo and juliet 1968 i ve already talked about this one at length but let me just reiterate forbidden love tight 16th century pants leonard whiting s naked butt hot hot hot 6 black book 2007 carice van houten is a sex goddess whether she s being rescued by a hunky sailor or saving her ass from the concentration camp by sleeping with a high ranking nazi van houten always knows how to turn on the audience in black book i should know that first sex scene between her and sebastian koch turned me on in ways i never thought a straight sex scene could 5 bonnie and clyde 1967 normally guns and violence completely turn me off but with warren beatty and faye dunaway behind the guns and perpetrating the crimes murder and bank robbery has never looked more stylish and glamorous 4 flesh and the devil 1927 when people complain about old movies especially silent pictures being completely irrelevant and sexless they should be pointed towards flesh and the devil as a counter example to this stereotype real life lovers greta garbo and john gilbert are so intimate in their first alone moment that i swear that they were only moments away from penetration and no one but garbo could make drinking from a communion glass so erotic 3 breathless 1960 the relationship between jean seberg s papergirl and car thief jean paul belmondo is charming throughout the entire film but it is during the 20 minute interlude in seberg s apartment that the sexiness really emerges belmondo clad only in his boxers and seberg sit around and talk about nothing in particular but it s all charming and sexy in it s own french way 2 brokeback mountain 2005 okay so although i ve scene rape scenes in other films that were less uncomfortable than the first sexual encounter between ennis and jack in brokeback the facts are the rest of the little time they spend together over the next 20 years include some very hot moments case in point their first real love making scene in the tent or their first embrace after meeting for the first time in four years 1 y tu mamá también 2002 i know that the celebrated three way which turns into a full on diego luna and gael garcia bernal makeout session part way through is the piece de resistance of this film lord knows i ve rewound that scene a good 10 or 15 times however many of the other sex scenes between either gael diego and maribel verdu are just as hot dirty and erotic as that scene i ve never seen a film before that has celebrated sex in such an open way and actually made it look sexy without depicting it unrealistically diego finishes way too early for maribel s liking during their scene together y tu mamá también is the rare film that will turn you on but also make you think and feel for these characters beyond the sexpots they are posted by dame james at 11 23 pm 3 comments labels barbara stanwyck bonnie and clyde boys
