They have many of the same themes (end of innocence, coming of age, pop music, etc.) but presented in different ways.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-80052178822036493562010-02-17T20:32:56.315-08:002010-02-17T20:32:56.315-08:00another one of the greats - i've got to see it...another one of the greats - i've got to see it again.<br />your comparison to american graffiti**** is interesting - something to ponder.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458394201781611506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-36177883028230783552010-02-06T18:49:47.940-08:002010-02-06T18:49:47.940-08:00@Mad Hatter - I wish I did too, but I knew I was g...@Mad Hatter - I wish I did too, but I knew I was going to miss the deadline. And I wasn't in the club.<br /><br />I thought your and Ryan's (of A Life in Equinox) reviews were excellent, though. No need to re-write yours!<br /><br />I agree. Ellen Burstyn is great in her role.<br /><br />@Andrew - I KNOW, RIGHT? <br /><br />Like I said before, Burstyn is great. Kinda wished she had more screen-time. She said so much by saying so little.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-77109880318914082172010-02-06T03:39:59.983-08:002010-02-06T03:39:59.983-08:00He does look like that Jonas guy.

I remember...He <b>does</b> look like that Jonas guy.

We just talked about this one for the 1001 Movie Club, and I really wish you had submitted this for it, since it's a rather insightful piece on one particular aspect of the film (Cybill's performance).<br /><br />Kinda makes me want to go back and re-write mine.<br /><br />the only thing I might have liked more than Shepherd in this film was the way Ellen Burstyn portrayed her mother. Her skewed world view gave you the impression that the apple didn't fall all that far from the tree!Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
