A gay actor / director / fundraiser / cabaret singer / lesbian-esque guitar player from the hills of East Tennessee, living in Chicago and looking for... wait... what is it I'm looking for again?
This movie has molded me into the person I am today. Could anyone play this role as effectively today? Maybe only Judy Davis, I think. Too bad Faye's such a crazy wench to never discuss it.
Our singer Jennifer Joans (Connelly) modeled her look after the outfit in this and the Pepsi boardroom scene. I have a big ol' costume brooch I'm going to give her for the lapel.
Ok so the REAL scary part is that to this day I walk around quoting this flick...AT WORK! I was in a tough meeting the other day and found myself pounding my fist on the conference table using the "this ain't my first time at the rodeo" line. of course for professional reasons I omitted the "don't f- with me part"
um if someone didnt know what that was, they have NO right to read your fine blog

ReplyDeleteI've never seen this one. Shame on me. I have much to learn from the gaydom.

ReplyDeleteI love this movie! I know it is over the top, campy and tragic beyond measure but it is also BRILLIANT! and she is as well!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scenes.....that and where Joan chokes Tina on the floor. That made me so, well, um...happy. I hated the actress who played adult Tina.
ReplyDeleteOh I DO love this movie too!
