The Apartment

[Gagh]

I don't care how many times I've seen it, I still fall in love with this movie all over again, every time I've watched it.

Jack Lemmon - Awesome.
Shirley MacLaine - Awesome.
Billy Wilder - Genius.

I also don't care how unmanly it makes me sound, I'm damn near pushed to tears each time Fran Kubelik utters "Shut up and Deal". I think it's the little gay inside of me trying to get out - and I'm in touch with him, dammit!

Now I gotta fit this in tonight, in between the Met game and all the Rue McClanahan vids.

 

[Gagh]

Bah, this is infinitely better than any type of sport!

"Promises Promises," the musical based on the movie, is playing on Broadway. The bad news is that it stars Sean Hayes from "Will & Grace" in the Jack Lemmon role.

 

[Gagh]

So, when is Sean Hayes taking a dump on Jack Lemmon's grave then?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

It opened in April, and he probably has a one-year contract.

How can anyone play the same role in the same play for over a year? The longest I've gone is a month...

 

[curiousa2z]

it's been ages since I've seen that..
which reminds me....three weeks ago sat and watched "Some Like It Hot" with a 21- year-old who'd never seen it before....she loved it. It's still entertaining 'em!

 

[Big Dick McGee]

I...I've never seen it. *ashamed*

I'll have to check and see if it's on demand...

A really great film! I have not seen it in a very long while though. Jack Lemmon is so underrated imo. Jack Lemmon was also good in "The Odd Couple", "The Out of Towners" & "Grumpy Old Men".

And, "Days of Wine and Roses."

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And:

Glengarry Glen Ross (holy fuck he was great in this)
Mister Roberts
Irma La Douce
Save the Tiger
The China Syndrome
Missing
Mass Appeal
Long Day's Journey Into Night
JFK
Short Cuts
Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet
12 Angry Men
Inherit the Wind

Even his quick cameo as himself in The Player was a joy.

Irma La Douce especially, as it's with the ever delectable Shirley MacLaine and directed by Billy Wilder also. Completely different movie, of course, but the chemistry is there again.
