A Legend?

Photo grabbed from imdb.com

My morning paper contained a little blurb about Zsa Zsa Gabor and her recent surgery. The headline proclaims "Legendary Actress Recovering After Surgery." WHAT? When did she become legendary? She's the old-time version of Nicole Richie, for crying out loud. I checked imdb.com, and yes, she had a part in John Huston's Moulin Rouge, and a decent role in Lili, but most of her roles were in B movies or on TV, and in many of those TV appearances, she played herself. (Maybe they confused Gabor with Garbo, who really was legendary?!)

She really is more famous for being famous. Does that make her a legendary actress, or just an old, famous lady? And, oh, I hope she improves after this surgery. I don't wish her any ill will, after all.

NOTE: I posted this one on my own blog, too, but I felt it was open for discussion here with the rest of the film freaks!

Where the ef is the FFFC?

Hello.

Hello.

Is there anybody in there?

Let's pick a film, people and start the confab. I think we have a contendah in the post which follows. Call it our flick for October?

Hey, Let's!

Hey, y'all! Let's watch a movie together this month. Just because I feel like it.

I'll suggest three. You guys can gather around one, or someone else can suggest something better. When we reach a semi-consensus, we'll all just watch it and talk about it.

Here would be my suggestions:

Being John Malkovich
Waking Ned Devine
Romeo + Juliet

What say?
