"Samurai Night Fever" was fun. Very imaginative. John's hair is hilarious. I have never really paid any attention to John Belushi and I don't really know why. At the very least I need to see "The Blues Brothers".
Awww, sweet Gilda…
I don't like OJ Simpson. I think he's creepy and I think he butchered Nicole and Ron.
"My life is over. I might as well dance with Johnny Slash!"

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
Yeah, I'm surprised to see that SNL put that up there with OJ where he has been canceled everywhere else.
For me there are enough doubts if he did it.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
For me, there's not much doubt if any and perhaps that's unfair.
But there were a few things that just screamed guilty to me.
First if all, he fled the police and was crying for his mommy. literally. He was re-experiencing being a bad boy and wanted his mom to comfort him and tell him that everything was going to be okay. Why was he running away from the police if he wasn't guilty?
Second was the damn book "If I Did It" and the way he goes step by step, describing what might have happened if he had been there. "Now you've got to understand this is all hypothetical!" And he repeated that four more times. It was sickening. At one point he describes all the blood and carnage and he actually starts laughing. It was horrifying. And then he starts going into his own head space cussing out Nicole for leaving him. The gall was staggering. I think he was so arrogant and he was really kind of admitting his guilt and kind of giving the middle finger at the same time saying "I can do whatever I want because I'm OJ Simpson."
And then he said he was going to spend the rest of his life searching for Nicole's killer and that was where it stopped. I think he's a malignant narcissist and just a horrible human being.
Look at him laughing while describing all the blood. Oh my God, you just want to reach through the screen with a baseball bat and wipe that annoying smirk off his face. You're wife has been bludgeoned, you idiot. It was hard to comprehend that he was saying what he was saying, but that's exactly what was going on. And I think the young lady interviewing him got this sick vibe from him and was visibly shaken. I don't think there is anything as powerful and reliable as the gut instinct and she knew that he did it. I don't know him, but I hate him. He is so cocky. The only other person who's on a par with this clown in terms of pure poison is Ryan O'Neal.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
Yeah, that is weird or creepy to come out with a book describing how he would do it while also claiming he didn't.
Why do that at all?
I guess for a quick cash grab.
I think he was so cocky from being acquitted it gave him confidence to play cop or whatever when he tried to illegally get his stuff back.
He prob. thought he was above the system only to do some time in prison after all.
I just dunno and never will be convinced with no eye witness and the defense his lawyers had such as with a racist police force.
"And then he said he was going to spend the rest of his life searching for Nicole's killer…"
I think we misinterpreted that.
Even though it reads as if he was going to do all the leg work himself I think he meant to hire PIs to do it, which I doubt he ever did.
"The only other person who's on a par with this clown in terms of pure poison is Ryan O'Neal."
We had a nice discussion about Farrah the other day.
Why?
What did Ryan do to her?

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
Okay, so far as that sick bastard Ryan O'Neal, I think it's what he did to his kids that speaks volumes. Case in point. At Farrah's funeral, Ryan goes up to this attractive blonde woman and propositions her and she looks at him and says "It's me, Dad, Tatum." Oh my god, how scummy is that? And he just thought it was the funniest thing. He thinks he's charming and above it all. He also introduced his nine year daughter to cocaine and as a result, Tatum struggled for years. I actually have a lot of respect for Tatum. and then there's his son Redmond who Ryan used to give black eyes to regularly. And Ryan has never once said he was sorry or taken any kind of accountability. All he does is say he was a great father and his kids are ungrateful brats. He plays the victim card like you wouldn't believe.
As far as Farrah is concerned, well, I just couldn't love her more. She was a sweet, rather gentle young woman who I think should have stayed married to Lee Majors. Lee may have been a male chauvinist and jealous of his wife's huge success on "Charlie's Angels", but he also seemed to love her deeply and had this kind of knight in shining armor attitude, which is not the worst thing in the world by a long shot. I think it was the summer of 1978 and Lee was going over to Europe to make a movie and he asked his then best buddy Ryan O'Neal to sort of watch over Farrah and that was that. Ryan couldn't wait for Lee to leave so he could steal his best friend's wife. THAT IS JUST SO WRONG! The man has no respect for anybody. No sense of friendship or loyalty whatsoever. A complete prick.
Unfortunately Farrah was kind of this vulnerable soul. I'd like to think that she was exactly like Jill Munroe, which is to say bubbly and kind and feminine and just so lovely and adorable. She was very close to both parents and really seemed like a very decent and kind person. But the critics were not nice to her, which I always thought was the most annoying thing because Farrah was perfection as Jill Munroe. The critics looked ridiculous taking potshots at this tv show that never pretended to be anything other than what it was and that was escapist magic. CA was, is and always will be my all time number one favorite show. I am devoted to every one of the six Angels. Bosley, too. I have seen every episode twenty times at least.
But Farrah felt compelled to prove herself as a dramatic actress and I always found that to be unfortunate because those heavy victim roles in the 80s was not where Farrah's magic was. Farrah's magic was on that one year with "Charlie's Angels". Those three women had the most perfect chemistry. All beautiful and intelligent and strong and not a trace of any feminine competitiveness or jealousy that can sometimes take place. They all had their own thing going for them and they were supportive of each other and loyal and all that great stuff. And all that showed up on the show's magical first year. I know the show is ultra lightweight, but I think it was just so charming. Every episode was sublime. By the third season, the show's scripts had gotten pretty awful, but that first year the show could not have been better.
And the critics started eating all that Burning Bed stuff right up and she got nominated for a couple of Emmys and I think completely lost the plot. She was so determined to be this great dramatic actress, which she most definitely was not, she played out all these roles with a kind of one note anger and her voice got deeper and kind of raspy and I think in doing all this she absolutely fought against all those wonderful gifts which she did possess and in a way she became her own worst enemy which is never a good thing. She actually had some talent for lightweight humor which she showed in her Jill Munroe character. She moved with incredible grace and for one year she was perfection. But she didn't think she was being taken seriously and that was her downfall.
And paralleling all this was her relationship with Ryan O' Neal which was combative and toxic. He was horrible for her. Tatum said after Farrah's passing that Farrah was this sweet, lovely, gentle young woman and the O'Neal family set out to destroy all that. I have no doubt that if Farrah had stayed married to the warm and loving Lee Majors she would be alive today. Ryan O'Neal gave her the cancer. Damn him!
So, you're a fan of Farrah Fawcett-Majors? That's awesome. I would have loved to have been part of the conversation you all had about her.
My God she was lovely.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
I am not a fan of hers like you are.
I don't collect her stuff but if CA with her was on, I would watch or perhaps check out discs from the lib.
So I like her. (Who doesn't?)
I just don't seek out her stuff to watch and buy.
You and I had a nice chat about her roles as the victim and we got into the Burning Bed real life stuff.
Like what else could she have done at the time.
I had no idea about all that with Ryan, so thanx.
I still like him in Paper Moon and will watch that times but just won't get any of his newer stuff.
How do you blame him for giving her cancer?

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
I just think that stuff like cancer can be caused or encouraged perhaps by stuff like years and years of toxic stress built up and that's exactly what Ryan O'Neal was all about. That stuff shows up in awful ways sometimes and very sad for Farrah. She was supposed to live to be 95 like I am sure Jaclyn Smith will.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
That could be a contributing factor.
There is also what one eats and other lifestyle choices and genetics.
I don't doubt what you say. Just that there are other things to and perhaps she would still be here if she was not with Ryan.
I dunno what their private life was really like.
He showed that he really adored her.
Was that a facade or did he really?
I dunno.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
I hadn't read about Redmond, but Griffin apparently hates his father's guts:
It does appear that Ryan has a very toxic personality, but Farrah also has herself to blame too. She took off with him. She also apparently had alcohol and even substance abuse issues which affected her behaviour in public and gave her a bad rap.
She appeared to have been mismanaged by the men in her life and also mismanaged herself. Her ego got the better of her. Smith was smart and appeared self-aware of her limitations and Jackson unfortunately just could seem to rise above her t.v. origins despite her talent. Her one shot at superstardom of course was jettisoned by a jealous Spelling by refusing her permission to film KvK.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
In the same article, Tatum's brother, Griffin, also a former addict, claims his father gave him cocaine at the age of 11.
Griffin describes his father as an "abusive, narcissistic psychopath" who exploited Fawcett's death from cancer. "I consider him a vulture presiding over a carcass," he spits.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
You are correct. I meant Griffith, not Redmond. Redmond is addicted to heroin.
I like how you say that Smith was smart and self-aware. She is both a very beautiful lady and very grounded and doesn't really have that much of an ego. Her humility is rare.

Okay, now this is the second time I've heard this. I knew a guy who had worked as room service at this super fancy hotel in Los Angeles and one time brought up a late night dinner to the room where O'Neal and Farrah were staying. He said that Farrah's eyes got real wide when she saw all the food and coooed "Ooooh, french fried potatoes!" in this affected voice and he said it was obvious that she was very high and his guess was heroin. That kind of broke my heart, but what are you going to do?

This movie has maybe the best soundtrack I can think of.
This is the extended version. I love how the momentum builds. It shifts gears @ 3:15. It's very emotional.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
Xanadu does come alive due to its awesome soundtrack and I really don't think the film gets enough credit for this. While the film is corny and childishly whimsical, it is built around the music and that is the magic.
Despite the terrible miscasting of uncharismatic, flat and even ugly Michael Beck, (wtf were the producers thinking?), the film also contains a fresh and vibrant breeze of loveliness in ONJ.

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
Olivia is lovely in this movie. Maybe even more so than she was in Grease. She has the sweetest sounding voice. I know you had a little boy crush on her, and it's not hard to understand why.
Michael Beck is not appealing in the slightest

Re: Songs In Films That Really Got Your Attention
ONJ needed a strong male presence to counter her soft and sweet femininity and if the producers were relying on Gene Kelly to do this, then they were bonkers. He was an old man.
They in a sense sabotaged their own production. Stigwood did the same with Grease 2.
