Lombard with a page-boy
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 18, 2015
No, as far as is known Carole Lombard never attempted wearing that iconic 1920s hairstyle; she's at right in this photo, wearing "a diaphanous bra top and short pants," revealing lots of leg. It's the other woman in this photo, taken for Mack Sennett in late 1927 or early '28, who's trying to emulat read more

“A Mulher do Dia / Woman of the Year” (1942) e a mulher que eu quero ser
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Aug 14, 2015
“A Mulher do Dia / Woman of the Year” (1942) e a mulher que eu quero ser Este texto contém spoilers. Quando somos crianças, nos fazem a pergunta: “o que você quer ser quando crescer”? Acredito que seria mais sensato reformular a questão, e perguntar: “Q read more
A Legacy of Self-Amusement: Drew & John Barrymore
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Aug 13, 2015
Charlie’s Angels (2000) is the epitome of how seriously Drew Barrymore takes herself: the hair flips, the silly punk rock past of her character, action sequences so absurdly, self-consciously over-the-top that they make you smile. Playfulness seems to be Barrymore ‘s signature, what distinguishes read more
Turning A Negative Into A Positive – Here’s How Fox Could Turn The Fantastic Four From Bomb To Perfect Sequel Set-Up
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 12, 2015
So despite the critical drubbing and the box office failure of their new Fantastic Four movie, Fox says they remain “committed to these characters”. Fine. While I would prefer to see them let the rights revert back to Marvel so that we could see what their home studio could do with them read more

Humphrey Bogart – A Pictorial
Classic Cinema Gold Posted by Art on Aug 8, 2015
“I have absolutely no interest in who gets the girl. I don’t care. I don’t see any reason to spend two hours to see who gets the girl especially since you know who’s going to get her from the beginning, usually the actor who gets the most money.” ~ Humphrey Bogar read more
More than just a state park
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 8, 2015

Look (or listen to) who's a Lombard fan!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 5, 2015
Carole Lombard not only made a movie with Bing Crosby ("We're Not Dressing"), but legitimately was a fan of his, as she was with his good friend and ill-fated crooning rival Russ Columbo. I think it would please her to know that more than 80 years after filming "We're Not Dressing," some talented mu read more

Even better, the photo has a snipe that explains what this is al read more
