I agree she's always been astounding looking, right up to today.
She is an airhead completely void of personality, and I regret she's a Repug, but she nonetheless has great physical beauty.

The reason I can't get into this (I'm 20 mins. in) is I have no interest in watching long takes of a mask "act".
If he doesn't turn out to have a Clark Kent type alter ego, I'm switching it off.
Life's too short...
[b]EDIT[/b]: He's into his third scene now wearing that stupid mask. Ugh. It is not emotionally engaging. Goodbye, movie.

I will avoid saying the obvious.
Maybe someone else will...

[b]<< It’s rather well organized! The Monty Python references are in alphabetical order! I’ll say no more! >>[/b]
It's clear he owns this place.
It's just so....nakedly obvious, now.
It's sad, really.
.
[b]<< says he’s moving to island of Nevis because he is fed up with the ‘lying and triviality’ of the British press >>[/b]
Well then, we will fucking FOLLOW him ! ! !
He doesn't know what the triviality of the press IS, yet ! ! !

The more I've read about her, the more I admire her. She got her first Broadway show when she was 17, and had trained seriously in ballet from age 6 to 13. She studied at the Actors Studio at 19...she's obviously very dedicated.
She was married to Jon Peters who left her in the early 70s for Barbra Streisand, and I imagine Warren slowed down a bit then to raise their child alone. She also probably got an enormous financial settlement thru Streisand, which took care of her, money-wise. (I mean, I'm just imagining that if Barbra Streisand, the biggest star of that era, breaks up your family, she pretty much has to write you a huge check.)
This is an interesting, detailed interview with Warren:

It was really quite minor. It's not like he lurked outside Heston's apartment to throw a bucket of puke on him in front of a live camera crew!
[b] << George reportedly joked, "Charlton Heston announced 'again' today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's." According to George, he was making a joke about Charlton's conservative views and support for the National Rifle Association. >> [/b]
Is that really such a big deal? I mean, they're all grownups.

Her comment is sound:
[b] << Falco told Vulture she's "not a big fan" of reality TV. "Like, forgive me, I don’t know if you’re friends with her — but who the hell is Kim Kardashian? Like, who are these people and why are they famous and why are they advertising things and being asked their opinions about things? I just don’t understand what these people did to be in a position of having everyone ask their opinions about stuff. I mean, if there’s something about her personality or something that she’s accomplished or her philosophy on something — but beyond that I don’t understand what’s happening. It’s actually frightening." >> [/b]
.
Mr. Clooney apologized. (Not that he really did anything that dramatic to the horrid Mr. Heston, anyway, considering all the blood that's on the older stars hands.)
[b] << In 2008, shortly before Charlton passed away, George revealed that he had made up with the legendary actor: "I wrote him a letter saying I usually avoid making jokes at people's expense, so I'm sending you an apology, and I got a really nice letter back from his wife." >> [/b]

Framed posters for Guy's Broadway plays (LUTHER and NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS) are hanging in the living room, over the record player.
It's okay. No one expects anyone to know the complete cast of this stupid, lackluster film : )
Rosemary said “Isn’t it?” and smiling, looked about at walls and windows. The room would accommodate almost perfectly the nursery she had imagined. It was a bit dark—the windows faced on a narrow courtyard—but the white-and-yellow wallpaper would brighten it tremendously. The bathroom was small but a bonus, and the closet, filled with potted seedlings that seemed to be doing quite well, was a good one.
They turned to the door, and Guy asked, “What are all these?”
“Herbs, mostly,” Rosemary said. “There’s mint and basil…I don’t know what these are.”
Farther along the hallway there was a guest closet on the left, and then, on the right, a wide archway opening onto the living room. Large bay windows stood opposite, two of them, with diamond panes and three-sided window seats. There was a small fireplace in the right-hand wall, with a scrolled white marble mantel, and there were high oak bookshelves on the left.
“Oh, Guy,” Rosemary said, finding his hand and squeezing it. Guy said “Mm” noncommittally but squeezed back; Mr. Micklas was beside him.
“The fireplace works, of course,” Mr. Micklas said.
The bedroom, behind them, was adequate—about twelve by eighteen, with its windows facing on the same narrow courtyard as those of the dining-room-second-bedroom-nursery. The bathroom, beyond the living room, was big, and full of bulbous white brass-knobbed fixtures.
“It’s a marvelous apartment!” Rosemary said, back in the living room. She spun about with opened arms, as if to take and embrace it. “I love it!”
“What she’s trying to do,” Guy said, “is get you to lower the rent.”
Mr. Micklas smiled. “We would raise it if we were allowed,” he said. “Beyond the fifteen-per-cent increase, I mean. Apartments with this kind of charm and individuality are as rare as hen’s teeth today. The new—” He stopped short, looking at a mahogany secretary at the head of the central hallway. “That’s odd,” he said. “There’s a closet behind that secretary. I’m sure there is."

I found the description of the apartment from the book (which is online HERE: [url]http://www.onlinebook4u.net[/url]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The apartment’s four rooms were divided two and two on either side of a narrow central hallway that extended in a straight line from the front door. The first room on the right was the kitchen, and at the sight of it Rosemary couldn’t keep from giggling, for it was as large if not larger than the whole apartment in which they were then living. It had a six-burner gas stove with two ovens, a mammoth refrigerator, a monumental sink; it had dozens of cabinets, a window on Seventh Avenue, a high high ceiling, and it even had—imagining away Mrs. Gardenia’s chrome table and chairs and roped bales of Fortune and Musical America—the perfect place for something like the blue-and-ivory breakfast nook she had clipped from last month’s House Beautiful.
Opposite the kitchen was the dining room or second bedroom, which Mrs. Gardenia had apparently used as a combination study and greenhouse. Hundreds of small plants, dying and dead, stood on jerry-built shelves under spirals of unlighted fluorescent tubing; in their midst a rolltop desk spilled over with books and papers. A handsome desk it was, broad and gleaming with age. Rosemary left Guy and Mr. Micklas talking by the door and went to it, stepping over a shelf of withered brown fronds. Desks like this were displayed in antique-store windows; Rosemary wondered, touching it, if it was one of the things that could be had practically for the asking. Graceful blue penmanship on mauve paper said than merely the intriguing pastime I believed it to be. I can no longer associate myself—and she caught herself snooping and looked up at Mr. Micklas turning from Guy. “Is this desk one of the things Mrs. Gardenia’s son wants to sell?” she asked.
“I don’t know,” Mr. Micklas said. “I could find out for you, though.”
“It’s a beauty,” Guy said.

Keanu Reeves isn't in this. I just mean he went on to become a big star in the types of roles Dillon could have played.
After the Woodhouses tour the apartment at the Bramford, the first major prop we see is an enormous joint of meat on a bone....the leg of lamb Hutch removes from the oven.
Maybe it looks more grisly to us today, because people don't tend to serve entire legs of lamb so much any more...but it's still a little macabre, and must have been intended. It almost looks like a body part.
.
Matt Dillon is good in this, as he is in DRUGSTORE COWBOY. His followup films weren't all they could have been, though. Keanu Reeves kind of went on to have his career.
Everyone loves this movie, and I think it's boring.
I have never wanted to rewatch it.
There, I said it.
.
This is the epitome of a movie you only have to see once. The only reason anyone would want to remake it is because it has parts for a large group of teens.
On a long drive, if it's warm, I sometimes like to slip my shoes off and drive barefoot.
It feels taboo, somehow, though.
