Jean Siskill said...: I respond to T & L viscerally - hatred.

Women aspire to recreate ugly qualities if men in face of those ugly qualities.

Mythical Monkey said...: On the other hand, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis drive their car off a cliff. I'd call that a win-win.; February 22, 2011 at 10:54 AM

whistlingypsy said...: I have decided to adopt an attitude regarding TCM's airing of some of these all too contemporary films during the month of Oscar celebration. I was old enough when (some of) these films were released, and presumably with some amount of discernment, to decide they weren't films worth seeing. Yes, I realize that as I get older, the definition of "classic films" will change with a younger audience ... but really, Thelma and Louise?; February 22, 2011 at 7:13 PM
Mythical Monkey said...: I wouldn't call Thelma & Louise a classic, although I guess I would call it a cultural phenomenon, at least at the time of its release. Sort of the same way Fatal Attraction was. Not quite the same thing as a classic but it does provide a glimpse into the national zeitgeist, circa 1991.

1991. Holy cow. That makes Thelma & Louise twenty years old.

Which makes me ... well, never mind how old that makes me.

In any event, Katie-Bar-The-Door was home today due to an unexpected snow day. We put The Thin Man in the machine. Now that is a classic.; February 22, 2011 at 9:18 PM
