She's still gorgeous and I'm glad she keeps in touch with Uncle Ted. I hope she likes AEW Dynamite. <br /><br />The film itself is a big surprise and for all of the right reasons. I thank you for making it a Blind Spot film. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-34241368950086929402020-10-03T06:14:31.855-07:002020-10-03T06:14:31.855-07:00This is my favorite movie of 1969, and would absol...This is my favorite movie of 1969, and would absolutely make my top-10 for its decade. It's such a brutal movie in so many ways. "Unrelenting" is probably a better word for it. The characters all come across as real and three-dimensional and the pain that moves them becomes real as well.<br /><br />It's Fonda's best work, and I say that as someone who likes her in general.

I appreciate your thoughts on They Shoot Horses Don't They... it's been awhile since I've seen that movie and your exciting piece brought back some nice memories. It has to be one of Jane Fonda's best roles and one of Pollock's best films. What a wonderful production, all those cool actors... Gig Young, Bruce Dern, Red Buttons... thank you, Steven, for keeping all these great movies alive by writing about them. Paulanoreply@blogger.com
