Does this qualify as 'insight'? - Sunset Blvd AND Gods&Monsters
Edited on Sun Jan-01-06 10:20 PM by UTUSN
I'm not a movie buff (as is apparent), but today "Sunset Blvd" was aired, and it is spectacular! And when Mr HOLDEN appeared, he looked like Brendan FRASER, just like when Michael YORK looked (and sounded like) whassisname - the Lolita Dude------Mason YORK, uh, James MASON!!!!!!!!-----that's the ticket!!!!!!!!.

Anyway. Those 2 movies are EXACTLY the same! There's this elderly person, apparently attempting to rejuvinate their's life with a younger whomevertheF! And there is a servant with a European accent, AND there is a death in the swimming pool, AND

O.K., let's go on to the flamming.

1. Wizard of Oz, too
Judy Garland looks like a younger, shorter, more feminine Holden and the Wicked Witch is the older person trying to reclaim her youth as symbolized by the ruby slippers. Her servants are dressed like Russians and she dies in a puddle of water. :o
