I have never forgiven critics for destroying Elizabeth Berkley's career. Her crime? In SHOWGIRLS she gave exactly the performance the movie needed and exactly the performance her director wanted. That's what an actress is supposed to do.

What I've noticed is that people with very conventional mainstream tastes are hyper-sensitive and defensive about those tastes. Try suggesting that maybe there have been better film-makers than Steven Spielberg. People react with rage.

Logan’s Run was released in 1976, towards the end of the golden age of grown-up sci-fi movies. It has its problems but I think its portrayal of a vulgar empty future was quite prescient. My review: princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2022/12/logans…

I know people in their 40s who have never heard of Astaire and Rogers. They've also never heard of Hitchcock, or Humphrey Bogart. Those of us trying to keep alive the flame of our pop culture past are a tiny tiny minority.

Apparently critics really can't understand that. And Berkley nailed Nomi's breathtaking shallowness so perfectly. Of course it was obvious that most critics had decided they hated SHOWGIRLS before even seeing the movie. They were really gunning for that movie.

Movies destroyed by hostile critics. I have also never seen HEAVEN'S GATE (1980).Given that it runs for 3 hours and 36 minutes (that's longer than a Scorcese film!) I probably won't see it. What's your view? Is it really that terrible? Is it worth seeing?

Un Flic is such an odd movie. I still can't decide if it it's a very bad movie or a very good movie. An interesting mess!

On this day, 53 years ago, Jean-Pierre Melville's "Un Flic" (1972) was released in France.

It! (1967). Roddy McDowall is wonderfully unhinged as a museum curator and occultist who discovers that an old statue is a golem, which can bring him the power he has always craved. Has some nice off-the-wall moments. Good stuff. My review: princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2023/04/it-196…
