Showing their busyness
I rate the Oscars four o’clock. The best dresses were Demi Moore’s Gucci, Nicole Kidman’s Chanel, the best of all — Kirsten Dunst’s quiet design — perfect. Cutting, very good. Celine is a beautiful black. No noise, no feathers, no flowers, no cool beads. Black.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s fashion designer is perhaps the best at peeing. Her white dress was wide, WIDE, WIDE open on both sides. You are ready immediately to engage the toilet. So useful. Freeze the camera. This way he was quickly diagnosed for a colonoscopy.
A pre-Oscar interview. The man’s chest was closed. You could have had an MRI while you were on camera. More hair than a gorilla. Hair down the sides of the face. Cheeks are stronger than body parts. The Boers peeped. The carved backdrops take up more space than Mount Etna. Red-carpet banter? Biden on board was very interesting.
The newly arrested were asked: “Do you want to watch the Oscars?” I would have preferred a cell.
The host of the event Conan? It knows. But next time, a little red hair dye. It’s very bright. It is heavily dyed. Very red. In comparison, the fire truck would look pink. Another told the colorist that he doesn’t get paid per strip.
Life today is hard, hard, hard. We have no vacancies. There is no money. There is no happiness. It’s great to see people happy, smiling, clapping, happy, well dressed—it was fun.
Yesterday to make films
A little history of the movie now: In the old days theater dames Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg also attended the big awards. . . Paul Scofield even refused to be brave.
Last time I visited her in the old country and she made me soda bread, Vanessa Redgrave supported the Workers Revolutionary Party – an extremist Marxist group.
“Easy Rider” was originally titled “The Loners.” “Pretty Woman” was originally titled “3000.” And “West Side Story”? Its original title was “East Side Story.” The great novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald said “Incident at West Egg.”
“Gone with the Spirit.” O’Hara Hall was originally known as Fontenoy Hall. Its working title — “Find the Tired Load.” Rhett Butler’s most memorable last line was the first. After producer Selznick finessed the accounting books, they kept the original: “In truth, my dear, I don’t care.”
“The Exorcist” and its many prequels/sequels? Director Paul Schrader was canned for opening the film in an unpleasant way. New director Renny Harlin said: “I have nightmares almost every night – even when I’m taking a nap. Nightmares are the source of my creativity.” He then became the new director of “Exorcist: The Beginning.”
Harrison Ford once told me: “I don’t train for extreme intensity in fight scenes. All the moves are staged in rehearsals so the dance is more than anything else.”
Cameron Diaz has taken breathing lessons to combat the stomach upset, which plagues her every time she makes a movie. “Everybody deals with stress differently. Birds are shedding their feathers. I get really bad stomach aches. It’s still stressful but now I’ve learned to breathe.”
So this poor man asked his friend to lend him $500. The friend was silent. The needy said: “You owe me an answer.” The friend replied: “I’d rather owe you an answer than owe me $500.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
