One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

The Living Daylights / Maryam d'Abo as Kara Milovy

So help me, but I love 1980s fashion. It's fun, it's bold, and it's not afraid to be extravagant. Plus it has those nods to the 1920s and 1940s, two other decades that I like. And yep, I think this ensemble looks great. Unfortunately, we never see it full-length from the front, so I don't know how long the dress is, but the robe/coat appears to be full-length.

In fairness, I would also have loved the original design (see below), which is more classic in style. Emma Porteous was the credited costume designer for this film, but apparently, much of the work was actually done by her assistant, Tiny Nicholls.

Street Trash (1987) directed by J. Michael Muro

I express disdain for thee. Provide me with a bottle of spirits in exchange for this coin, and attend to my request, if you would.

Each individual fancies themselves a fiery gangster, assuming the persona of Mister Mafia. Ah, the Don! The Don of Douchebags, such a title befits you. Nick - Nick the Dick, whispered behind your back, directed toward both yourself and your establishment, that malodorous restaurant of yours.

Broadcast News (1987)

It never dawned on me that you might feel anxious during a romantic comedy until I watched Broadcast News. This film has strong opinions about what reporting should be, along with rich characters, big laughs, wonderful dialogue and a love triangle that keeps you wondering. It’s over 2 hours long but when it ends you’ll find yourself wishing for a director’s cut, or a sequel - anything to get even a little bit more.

At a news station in Washington, D.C., handsome and charismatic - but not particularly bright - Tom Grunick (William Hurt) is hired as a new anchorman. He’s the opposite of Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks), a talented writer-reporter who melts when placed in front of the camera. Aaron's best friend is Jane Craig (Holly Hunter), the station's intense and passionate news producer. She consistently manages to get things done just in the nick of time - but just barely. There’s always been a sort of unspoken agreement between Jane and Aaron but Tom's arrival - and her attraction to him - threatens to disrupt it.

In so many films, the characters have a job but their careers are little more than a way to move us from one gag to another or a backdrop. Writer, director, and producer James L. Brooks cares about broadcast news as much as he does the people in this film. He cares so much that Broadcast News can even be a little off-putting to audiences. While Aaron might admire Tom for his telegenic qualities and willingness to coach him, they're rivals. Not because both are attracted to Jane; because in Aaron’s eyes, Tom embodies everything wrong with “today’s news”. Tom is likable but as far as Aaron’s concerned, the news is about the news. The facts are all that matter, not the person(s) delivering them or how emotional the stories might be. He’s particularly critical of a story that Tom presents on date rape - to Aaron, it's soft news that's manipulative and beneath the station's attention. This is where the film started to lose me and might you as well. It’s a tearjerker of a story, and it’s well told… but it’s no report on the Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua. You can see Aaron's point but he seems so harsh about it that you just stop liking him altogether. I'd also argue that someone you might bump into on the street - no matter how “banal” their story might be - is much more likely to impact your existence than people living in a faraway country you will never visit, no matter what the political repercussions might be. Or maybe I'm just a dumb-dumb. There’s A LOT to unpack in that moment alone, that's for sure.

Broadcast News is filled with great dialogue. Tom may not be as sharp as his fellow reporters but he isn’t comedically stupid. There aren’t any scenes where he blunders lines like a doofus. We see that he isn’t the brightest bulb in the drawer because he can't answer the tough questions. We don’t need to be told that Aaron is smart or that Jane is talented. We see it, we hear it. They feel real, which makes you interested in them. Their emotions are amplified by the romance that thread together all of the insights into this professional world.

You might not like Aaron very much because he’s kind of a jerk with an inflated ego but to be fair, he’s extremely talented and it’s hard not to feel your heart break a bit when you see him disappointed - a testament to Albert Brooks' skill as a performer. Holly Hunter has excellent chemistry with both her co-stars. Even on her own, she’s great and often funny in the most unexpected ways. Her first emotional breakdown is so offputting you’re not sure how you should feel. By the time we get to the third, you can’t help but laugh. Do these happen every day?! As for William Hurt, he's charismatic but there's a part of him that's slightly... not quite sinister, not quite slimy, but off-putting. You want to see more. When these people open up their hearts, you have no idea who Jane is going to end up with because you’re not sure who you like best - the mark of a great love triangle.

Although I can’t say that I immediately fell in love with Broadcast News, it intrigues me. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about these people and these situations. I don’t think one viewing is enough, and I mean that in a good way. (May 20, 2022)

'The Lost Boys' Movie and 4K/Blu-ray Review

‘The Lost Boys’ Movie and 4K/Blu-ray Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. “The Lost Boys” falls into the category of a great horror film I have never seen before until now.  With its release on 4K and Halloween a little over a month away, I couldn’t wait to take a bite into this movie (see what I did there?).  Vampires, zombies and werewolves are familiar creatures used in horror…

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

The Princess Bride / Robin Wright as Buttercup and Chris Sarandon as Prince Humperdinck

Humperdinck apparently believes in color-coordinated weddings, since he has to have provided the dress. It's a fun "fairy tale" style that corresponds to no particular historical era, with some very pretty beadwork on the shoulders. I've always liked her little crown as well.

The cut of Humperdinck's outfit is pretty strongly influenced by fifteenth-century European styles, particularly French. And look at the elaborate silver decoration around the openings of the hanging sleeves! It's like he's determined to let everyone know that he's the one who's royalty here. Which would be in character.

An Evening with Bobcat Goldthwait: Share the Warmth (1987)

I have no idea how I wound up with a copy of An Evening with Bobcat Goldthwait – Share the Warmth on VHS, but it’s April Fool’s Day and I watched it, so here are my thoughts. Humor - perhaps more than any other subject - is subjective, which makes me feel weird about reviewing this special but what can I say? I laughed a few times but not many.

With his distinct voice, strange mannerisms and unique mix of political & black comedy, Robert Francis “Bobcat” Goldthwait is probably best known for writing and directing Shakes the Clown (1991), Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006) and World’s Greatest Dad (2009). If you want to know how he got started, this recording of his live stand-up is just the ticket.

I’ll give it to Bobcat. He’s memorable. The man’s got huge presence, plenty of energy and once you hear that ear-piercing screech of a voice, you will not mistake him for anyone else. The man’s got some good material. There’s a joke about twinkies that made me laugh pretty hard and even when I didn’t, you can tell seeing him in person would’ve been something. He’s practically bouncing off the walls; he’s fearless! And there’s no way to tell if he is playing it up, or really just that nuts.

This is straightforward program – aside from all the running and climbing around – so what really matters is not the cinematography, but the humor. It didn’t work for me. At 54 minutes, the tape feels long; borderline intolerable at times. That doesn't mean I hold any ill will towards the man. This special was shot way, way back. Since, some of the humor has become dated (I didn’t even know who or what event he was referring to a few times) and the muddy, scratchy sound of the VHS tape I watched certainly didn’t help. If you’re a fan of his, this is probably worth checking out. If you’re not, you’d have never heard of this special anyway.

Often tedious and more grating than funny, An Evening with Bobcat Goldthwait wasn’t my cup of tea. I could tell from the first few minutes, which sort of makes writing about it feel like a waste of time, but what else was I supposed to do? Not contribute to the blog? If you’re out there Bobcat, I wish you luck. No hard feelings. This special just didn’t float my boat. (On VHS, April 1, 2018)
