Robinson's Five St...By the way, I had Edward G. Robinson's <i>Five Star Final</i> fifth on my list -- the performance is so good it actually keeps pointing out how bad everybody else in the movie is. I kept thinking this is what would happen if you brought Gene Hackman in to star in your kid's high school play.<br /><br />Whereas Wallace Beery, who I've got fourth, is a pure ham, but a corny movie like <i>The Champ</i> needs a big side order of ham to make it work. Like <i>Boston Legal</i> only worked because William Shatner was <i>perfectly</i> hammy, a more modulated, realistic portrayal of the over-the-hill boxer would have sunk <i>The Champ</i>.<br /><br />Or at least that's my reaction to it.<br /><br />As for the Buster Keaton header, I've had the picture sitting around for a year, but there's actually a ticket taker smack in the middle of it that made it unusable as a header. Fortunately, I discovered I have the "Paint" program on my computer and I airbrushed her right out of there.<br /><br />The Soviets would have <i>loved</i> Paint.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-81623463648480532782010-03-21T21:52:36.811-04:002010-03-21T21:52:36.811-04:00yeah, fabulous heading! :)
