The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. While in London, he falls in love with Gwendolyn, much to the chagrin of Lady Bracknell. It’s the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. Jack Worthing comes to London to escape county life under the name of Ernest. Presented by StageDoor’s Adult Company, The Importance of Being Earnest is the most renowned of Oscar Wilde’s comedies. Synopsis: In 1890s London, two bachelors, John Jack Worthing and Algernon. ![]() ![]() A satire of Victorian social hypocrisy, the witty play is considered Wilde’s greatest dramatic achievement.

Over time, Disney, who originally released the film under the Touchstone imprint, could not deny that fanbase and the film found its place between Gremlins and Die Hard as the Christmas movie for people who hate Christmas movies. Thanks to yearly viewings between Halloween and Christmas, the movie attracted a following eager to gobble up merchandise like Oogie Boogie gobbles up bugs. The Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't a huge box office success. Gloves, hoodies and action figures filled goth kids' closets throughout the 2000s, leaving an imprint on the culture that still hasn't subsided. Despite the director's lack of credited authorship on the final film, the movie was a merchandising bonanza for Disney, who slapped Jack Skellington's face on every piece of merchandise that Hot Topic would allow. The film's unique animation style, distinctive design and festive earworms codified the Tim Burton aesthetic better than any other movie, making it all the stranger that Burton-himself didn't direct the picture Henry Selick did. Since 1993, The Nightmare Before Christmas has benefited from a loyal and fervent fanbase. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Dartmoor zoo benjamin mee![]() ![]() (2008) WALL-E is a story between Mac and PC.A-Team (2010) – Callback to the original “I ain’t gettin’ on no plane” reference.In RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) after Orange shoots Blonde, there’s a “Jack Rabbit Slims” ad on the radio.In Coco (2017), when the song “Proud Corazon” is playing and Hector “takes” Miguel’s guitar and starts to play with him, you can hear a second guitar playing in the background in a lower pitch than Miguel’s.In The Incredibles (2004) during the fire scene, a fire truck seen in the background bears a similar resemblence to Red from Cars (2006).Anybody else besides me remember Young Frankenstein written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder (credit given to Mary Shelley) It’s one of my favorits since I first saw it in 1974, Yes, I am that old.Opinion: Lucy (2014) is a spiritual prequel to Her (2013). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She also writes the daily blog ‘Life As A Conscious Mom’ which runs on.

None of the other illustrations stand out, though, and I'm not even completely sure what the moral of the story's supposed to be. There's one cute illustration, where Leo tries to look "tough" in the mirror. The art isn't as exceptional as James's best work, and the story is fairly thin and feels even more quickly wrapped up than usual. It's not bad and not great - it's just somewhere in the "average, largely forgettable" category. ![]() This book was never one of my favorites as a child. Fortunately, I guess Past Me had thought ahead a little, since they were still sitting in the trunk of my car, instead of joining the library donation pile from the summer. I'd thinned out my Serendipity books already, then slightly regretted getting rid of them before I added actual reviews to remind myself why I'd chosen to let go of certain ones. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments John waters trash trio![]() ![]() ![]() In Bad Taste (Yaeger -doc) (as Himself) Forever Hollywood (Glassman/McCarthy -doc) (as Himself) Sweet and Lowdown (Allen) (as Mr. Home Movie on John Waters (Populin - short) (as Himself) Divine Trash (Yaeger -doc) (as Himself) 1999 Homer and Eddie (Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky) (as Robber νm1) 1998 Something Wild (Demme) (as Used Car Guy) 1989 Pecker (+ voice as Pervert on Phone) 2000 Serial Mom (+ cameo role as Ted Bundy) 1999 Career: Made first short film with 8mm camera, 1964 directed first feature, Mondo Trasho (financed for $2,000 by father), and began collaboration with Divine, 1969 arrested on eve of premiere of Mondo Trasho and charged with "conspiracy to commit indecentĮxposure" directed first-ever scratch-and-sniff movie, Polyester, 1981 teacher at Baltimore Prison, 1980s.įilms as Director, Producer, and Screenwriter: 1964 ![]() Education: Attended University of Baltimore, 1965, and New York University, 1966 claims to have been thrown out of film school.
