Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Brody Wilder"] <b>His Name's Not Durwood: <i>I Married a Witch</i></b> Veronica Lake burst onto the scene in 1941's <i>Sullivan's Travels</i>, immediately captivating audiences with her asymmetrical peek-a-boo hairstyle (think Jessica Rabbit). An icon of '40s glamour, the pint-sized starlet (she was only 4'11") smouldered up the screen while burning every bridge behind her. In 1951 she disappeared from the public eye, only to be rediscovered in 1962 by a tabloid reporter, waiting tables in an alcoholic haze. Headstrong as ever, Lake never cashed the pity cheque sent to her by former beau Marlon Brando, preferring instead to have it framed as a memento of her time in the spotlight. As for the film itself? If you've seen 1958's <i>Bell, Book and Candle</i> - or any given episode of the TV series <i>Bewitched</i> - you know what you're in for. But it's still fun to see where it all began[/quote] The setup "your wife is an omnipotent being that can get you anything you ask for, instantaneously" and your response is "Great: don't. I like you because you are hot" is the same premise as <i>Bewitched</i> and also <i>I Dream of Jeannie</i>, two syndicated classics of my childhood which in retrospect must have had...some effect...? on my sexual identity...? I'll need to think about that. Pluribus is a good show. I'm glad we got Apple TV for free for three months when we bought a new iPad. I will definitely not remember to cancel it when it starts costing money. Thanks for doing these Best Movie of Year posts, I am enjoying them. :)[/quote]
