Hello, movie maniacs!
Mary is away this week, taking in the sun and fun at Disneyworld in Orlando, FLA.
So Dave has invited his movie-mad friend Sean Condon to drop by and discuss movies, movies, movies.
Dave has a theory about the wonderful Elaine May’s career as a film director. Could she have made more films? What got in the way of her productivity? Dave compares her career to a fellow New York-based comic, Woody Allen, who flourished through the 70’s and became a better and better filmmaker.
Sean brings in some movie memes – or, as Dave insists on calling them: mémés – as a modern example of the sort of pithy reviews that once filled film guides. Both of them mourn the loss of fabulous film grump: Leslie Halliwell.
Finally, Sean digs out his list of the L.A. Times Top 101 Top L.A. Movies They go through the list with some interest and discuss the Top 15 films, which aren’t just excellent films about L.A., but are some of the best films ever made.
Let us know your favourite L.A. film!
