This beautiful and intricately beaded gown was created by the designer Nolan Miller. We don’t mention Miller here often at Recycled Movie Costumes, but his career helped to shape the look of 80s fashion.   Linda Evans wore this fabulous beaded gown as Krystle Carrington in 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒚 in 1983.   In 1985, it was worn by none other than Lana Turner as Elizabeth Raley in a 1985 episode of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒂𝒕.   The dress made its way onto Katharine Ross as Francesca Colby in the 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒚 spinoff 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒃𝒚𝒔.   This dress has been used many more times and has an incredible history!

Wrong Is Right (1982)

In today's review, I discover the lengths that the media will go to to get a good story, as I attempt a #positive review of the 1982 prophetic political satire Wrong Is Right #SeanConnery #RobertConrad #GeorgeGrizzard #KatharineRoss #GDSpradlin #JohnSaxon

The trick to a good, long-lasting satire is understanding that the problems often parodied don’t get fixed soon enough: are your elected officials letting you down? Count to a couple of years, and they will still be doing it again. Is the media stoking the flames of conflict, political or otherwise? Funny how the same criticisms were levied years ago. In 1982, a film showed the world as it is and…

[The Graduate / Original Soundtrack] [Simon & Garfunkel] [1968] [LP] "The Graduate" a wonderfully romantic love film, a partly bitter satire about the encrusted moral concepts of the mendacious American society in the 1960s and the insecure and unworldly youth("coming of age") and in addition a few of the most beautiful songs by Simon and Garfunkel("April, come she will", Scarborough Fair") as well as the partly amusing partly excellent film music (especially the track "whew") by Dave Grusin. A revolutionary film from the point of view of the time and still a masterpiece today. . . . . . Do people have a tendency to dump on you? Does your group have more cavities than theirs? Do all the hippies seem to get the jump on you? Do you sleep alone when other sleep in pairs? Well, there′s no need to complain We'll eliminate your pain We can neutralize your brain You′ll feel just fine now Buy a big, bright, green Pleasure Machine Do figures of authority just shoot you down? Is life within the business world a drag? Did your boss just mention that you'd better shop around To find yourself a more productive bag? Are you worried and distressed? Can't seem to get no rest? Put our product to the test You′ll feel just fine now Buy a big, bright, green pleasure machine You better hurry up and order one Our limited supply is very nearly gone Do you nervously await the blows of cruel fate?

We can end your daily strife At a reasonable price You′ve seen it advertised in Life You'll feel just fine now Buy a big, bright, green pleasure machine . . . . .

Screenings : Donnie Darko (2001) [Theatrical Cut]

I remember one night, after band practice or a show, me and my usual group of film-loving friends sat down to hang out, and someone suggested that we watch Donnie Darko, the film they’d just rented.  Assuming it was some weird, silly teenage superhero movie, we threw it on.  About 2 hours later, we were all forever changed.  I thought that, due to it’s limited initial run and its cult status on DVD, I’d never get the chance to see Donnie Darko on the big screen, but when it comes to Alamo Drafthouse screenings, anything is possible.

Teenager Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), a young man with a history of anxiety and issues, is awakened by a mysterious voice one night.  Upon following the voice, he meets Frank (James Duval), a mysterious man in a disturbing rabbit outfit and mask who tells Donnie that the world will end soon... in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds, to be exact.  Donnie immediately blacks out, and is woken up on a local golf course.  Upon returning home, Donnie is shocked to discover that a jet engine of unknown origin, according to his sister Elizabeth (Maggie Gyllenhall), crashed through the Darko roof, directly where Donnie would have been sleeping.  As Donnie attempts to move forward with this information, his visions become more vivid and disturbing, leading to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia by therapist Dr. Thurman (Katharine Ross).  As Donnie’s visions of Frank increase, he is given information that seemingly connects to his real life, including a discussion with Dr. Kenneth Monnitoff (Noah Wyle) about time travel and predetermination that almost crosses lines, a friendship with schoolmate Gretchen Ross (Jena Malone) that buds into a relationship, and encounters with motivational speaker Jim Cunningham (Patrick Swayze) that lead to news nobody could possibly prepare for.  As the countdown that Donnie was given approaches its end, the frequency, urgency and importance of events that take place pull Donnie and everyone around him into a paradoxical climax of circumstances and happenings that skew existence beyond normal understanding.

As mentioned in the opening, Donnie Darko holds court with films like Requiem for a Dream (or mother!, for that matter), Dancer in the Dark, and a handful of others as wholly immersive film experiences of the 2000s.  It is extremely hard to view Donnie Darko without some period of deep reflection or realization, sometimes one that lasts for days.  Despite having such a complex narrative, the outer framework of the film is completely engaging and accessible.  The 1980s period touches provided are subtle, but authentic, on both a visual and a soundtrack level.  Within that combination of complex narrative and period look are tons of easter eggs for viewers to find, some that will only be recognized or make sense upon repeat viewings, and many that you may not spot until providing time between viewings.

The circular nature of the narrative is extremely interesting... the combination of time travel and a countdown to the supposed ‘end of the world’ puts me in the mind of someone stuck in a time loop that resembles a prison, with certain actions having to take place in order to fulfill their role in the loop (the ‘traveling within God’s channel’ that Donnie speaks of).  With that in mind, the logical dilemma that is presented in the film’s closing moments is that much harder to piece together, as the characters now regret/reflect on a past that is technically an alternate version of their future.  You’re very much left to feel like Samantha trying to piece together where the jet engine came from, or who Donnie was talking to when she walked by the bathroom.  That deep path is also paralleled with the equally complex narratives of a love story between Donnie and Gretchen, and a coming of age story for the troubled Donnie as he goes through his own skewed version of the hero’s journey.

On a technical level, this film stands up to the immense writing and acting talent.  There are plenty of traditional camera set-ups, but for a few scenes, some expressive camerawork is employed : long tracking shots, speed ramps and rigs that raise or rotate the camera are all used to punctuate key moments.  Most of the special effects are subtle enough to feel real and blend into the world, with my only objection being the slightly cartoonish nature of Donnie’s chest spear morphing into a finger and beckoning him to follow.  The soundtrack on both the theatrical version and the Director’s cut fit quite well, a strange anomaly considering that drastically different song choices are made in a few scenes, and both choices tend to work well across the board.  As mentioned before, the film is set in the 1980s, and the pop culture references integrated into the film work quite well.  

The cast is deep, and the chemistry runs strong across the board between characters.  This was my true introduction to Jake Gyllenhaal, and his performance made me a fan for life (as well as putting Maggie on my radar, with her brief but charming appearance).  Mary McDonnell and her strain in trying to present a perfect household balances well against Holmes Osborne and his laissez faire attitude.  Katharine Ross brings genuine concern with her role, and plays with fire once or twice via hypnosis.  James Duval gives a hauntingly still performance as Frank, making his human reveal that much more heartbreaking.  Jena Malone is stellar as usual, with that trademark smirk she carries around like she knows secrets we have no clue of.  Drew Barrymore and Noah Wyle turn in memorable performances as beacons of hope in a bleak situation.  Patrick Swayze provides a character with a tremendous fall from grace, giving us the stuff we love with a depth that crushes in one of his final performances.  This cast, in all honesty, is DEEP, but performances by Beth Grant, Jolene Purdy, Patience Cleveland, Alex Greenwald, Seth Rogen and more keep this world rich and engaging. 

Truth be told, Donnie Darko is one of the best films to come out in my lifetime.  It’s one of those gifts that keeps on giving... creates more questions than answers... and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

First time I've ever watched #ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid from 1⃣9⃣6⃣9⃣. The movie legitimized #RobertRedford after he'd done a bunch of romantic films. 🎥 It's the role that led him to name his independent film festival and other things after this memorable character. Directed by #GeorgeRoyHill, who would reunite with Redford and #PaulNewman a few years later on The Sting, where he would win a Best Director Oscar. The music here was by @burtbacharach and #RaindropsKeepFallinOnMyHead won the Oscar for Best Song. Butch and Sundance were bank robbers in the old west, 🤠 founders of the Hole in the Wall Gang who took their thieving to Bolivia 🇧🇴 with the very pretty #KatharineRoss. She was just in The Graduate two years earlier. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChfKfB4vEzP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This pretty pink gown was worn in the television show 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒂𝒏 at least five times over the years, including the 1964 episodes 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚’𝒔 𝑺𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 and 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆, where it was worn by Katherine Crawford and Katherine Ross respectively.   But did you know this piece has a deeper connection to Hollywood? It was first worn by the legendary Barbara Stanwyck in a 1964 episode of the television show 𝑾𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏, titled 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚.   This costume has been seen several more times over the years.

さて…どこが6分… 短いのか？ 字幕はDVDと一緒だね… ソ連の漁船の獲ってる物の役が 違うのがあるはずだ…VHSだったのかな？ そして…何度も観てるのに… ヴィジランティ(A5)が映ってたとは！ 画質は良い！音声もDVDと同じステレオ音源だが良い気がする。 北米版は音声が全然スペックが高いんで 吹き替え入り、 メニュー付きで ビクター以外で再販希望ですな！（謎） #thefinalcountdown #1980 #99min #kirkdouglas #martinsheen #katharineross #dvdは105分 (Yokosuka, Kanagawa)
