My favorite shot in a movie is usually when I see this:

You know, the guitar player!

Oh that guy!

Well if we’re tossing Cuarón into the mix you may as well just post the whole film

What movies are these from? 

 

Spellbound. Which we have to thank for Jerry Goldsmith's film music career, too (and not surprisingly, since Rozsa's score clearly demonstrates the art of scoring the character's emotions rather than the visuals).

That's why I didn't post anything from BR2049.

And he was in love with Ingrid Bergman.

Yes, although there are other films where I'd understand that better. But that alone probably wouldn't have driven him to a career in film music.

@Bespin, what's the first still from?

Is the third one THE PAPER CHASE?

The first is Valley of the dolls.

This is the time of year I lust after the winter.

 

And I admire the artistry of the movie, and the themes. Dialogue is rather weak, though.

I'll post something more intellectual soon.

You get feelings of ecstasy watching that one.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Pussy cat!

[Bespin 8,480]

One of my favorite shot in a movie was this scene when I was a teenager.  

 

Tom Cruise in All the Right Moves (1983).

 

 

And off course, he did all the right moves!

Beware NSFW

 

Spoiler

 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,513]

Geez Louise, he was an ugly spud, back then.

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Uhhhh, is that against forum rules?  I'm gonna tell on you!

[Naïve Old Fart 9,513]

I'm afraid your sense of humour doesn't slay me, Stu.

Besides, Mr. Mapother would be the first to agree. Like a lot of people, he had to "grow into" his handsomeness.

[Bespin 8,480]

Tom Cruise was absolutely sexy in those years!

 

Damn those big thighs!

 

 

[Quintus 5,399]

Even with his teeth!

I suppose, in a 10th grade, too-eager-to-start, too-early-to-finish, losing-it-in-a-basement-party kind of way.

I was a teen when I fantasized over Tom Cruise!

 

It was a long time ago, in a gala...

[Naïve Old Fart 9,513]

I was a teen, when I fantasised over Julie Christie...nothing's changed 

[Bespin 8,480]

Tom Cruise now, he's more machine than a man, due to plastic surgery.

 

Regrettably, we cannot "be", and "have been".

[Disco Stu 15,495]

His face looks basically fine in a "I'm only just getting away with looking 15 years younger than I am" kind of way.  But when he takes his shirt off, the game is given away.  The 'ol "butter scraped over too much bread" look.

[Bespin 8,480]

Yes his last surgeries gave him a little bit of his original "face". But that's all.

 

And he's so fucked up with all this Scientology stuff...

I'm not a fudgepacker!

Explaining the reference to confused ones.

I suspect this is not a very kind way to say "gay".

 

I posted some photos of Tom Cruise, and you felt the need to react this way?

 

You felt attacked in your "masculinity"? But nobody attacked you.

 

I must say I will not accept this kind of behavior on this forum.

 

[Jay 37,346]

He included the video in his post that explains the reference....

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Fudgepacker is still a derogatory term for homosexuals, Jason.

 

 

[Bespin 8,480]

...

[Holko 9,516]

Context, context. Is Blazing Saddles banned because it uses the n-word a lot?

 

That was 100% intended to be in a "Tom Cruise can be crazy" context, not a "gay" context, I'm truly sorry if it was too obscure and misunderstood.

I've heard "fudge puncher" before.

Of course I know that.  Holko was not calling Tom Cruise a fudgepacker, he was quoting South Park.

 

Again, he included the video in his post you can watch that explains the reference.

[Holko 9,516]

To be honest, I did include the video only after Bespin pushed the "confused" emoji, and his comment arrived afterwards.

[Jay 37,346]

Wait, after you saw his post, you went back and edited a previous post, knowing he'd never see it, instead of replying to his post with the video explanation?  Not very smart.

[Holko 9,516]

He reacted with a "confused" emoji; I posted the video which got merged into there when I realised it's quite obscure; a few seconds later the first sentence of his reply arrived. Then sometime after that he edited in the later sentences which I only saw now, during which he had the possibiity to see the video. Maybe I should have tagged him with the @.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I say the homophobe should be banned for 7 days!

[Jay 37,346]

Ah!

Sounds vaguely familiar.

Anyone else like Jake Gittes' Chinese sex joke?

One of the most beautiful movies of the 2000s.
