Hey Friends!

I hope everyone’s doing amazing! I just had the best weekend hanging out with my cousins—one for the record books!

Wednesday – Wheel of Wonder Spin! (hehe, can’t wait!)

 AFI Friday – Bringing Up Baby (1938) I’m watching this classic today, and I’m over the moon because... you guessed it—CARY GRANT!

Saturday – Lost in Translation (2003) I chose this one because it did well on the last Rom-Com Poll and had done so well in one of the past polls! I was completely blown away and gobsmacked by this film—it’s so beautiful, and I can’t wait to share it with you all! I'm still in awe days later.

I’m really looking forward to these next few weeks as we ease into the holiday season. The chilly weather is giving me all the cozy vibes!!! So love some COZY movies!

Let me know what you're most excited about?!!?

You got me again. Bringing Up Baby is another dream reaction of mine. THE screwball comedy. I've been asking for it on Patreon for years, lol. I'm glad I decided to stick around here. Is this your first Katherine Hepburn movie? Or have you seen On Golden Pond, or some other KH movie?

Really glad you chose to check out Lost in Translation. Like you, I was "blown away" by this film the first time I saw it. Strange thing is. I found it hard to articulate "Why" exactly. Something about the overall Vibe of this film really spoke to me, one of those things where that overall result is more than the sum of it's individual parts. Looked at it one way... not a lot really happens in this film. the acting is great, but not necessarily outstanding, but it comes together in such a way as to leave you thinking about it for a long, long time. Amazing soundtrack as someone else already pointed out. I also kind of fell for Scarlett Johansson's character. I've since seen this 3 or 4 more times and unfortunately, it never been quite as great as that first viewing, but still very enjoyable. Maybe one of those things where my external life at that point merged with my experience of the film in such a way as to amplify the effect. Looking forward to it.

Brining Up Baby? Hmm! OH! One of thee first movies I remember watching! The kitty in the 'background' during credits lol I haven't seen it since the late 60's early 70's lol Lost in Translation? Hmm! I know the name! But for some reason (happens more than I like) I'm mixing it up with "The Terminal" (2004) Tom Hanks! Preview=Hmm!!! Nothing correlates with anything in my head. Seems like I wanted to watch it but couldn't get around to it. Added to my watch list! Wonder Wheel Kitty! Rocky (1976) Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! LOL

I have been begging a couple of other reactors to do Baby. I am soooo stoked. Nobody puts Baby in the corner! Wait......I think that's a different movie..

It will be fun to see your introduction to Katharine Hepburn, Ames! She is unique! Bringing Up Baby is one of four films Grant and Hepburn partnered on, also including The Philadelphia Story, with Jimmy Stewart. I think she and Cary Grant have such great on-screen chemistry! Looking forward to it!!

What a week! Dunno what the WoW could be, other that it isn't mine (but I didn't have to look at it to know that, HA!), but it doesn't matter cuz Baby and LiT are SO strong! LFG!

Bringing Up Baby is probably the screwiest of all screwball comedies! An absolutely madcap romp, with two stars on top form (even though Hepburn was struggling to shake her 'box office poison' tag at this point). It went over schedule and over budget because Grant and Hepburn kept ad-libbing and cracking each other up, and Hawks kept changing the script on the fly, but the sense of comic exuberance and invention exhibited by everyone involved in the making of the film is infectious. Just a tremendously enjoyable picture. I don't know how familiar you are with Howard Hawks generally, but he was one of the best to ever do it. Between 1938 and 1941 alone he made Bringing Up Baby, Only Angels Have Wings, His Girl Friday, Sergeant York and Ball of Fire which is an absolutely INSANE run. Bringing Up Baby would be the highest peak for most directors but you could make the case that it's the third or fourth best from that group? I love looking back at the careers of these Golden Age studio directors like Hawks, Ford, Curtiz, et al. and seeing how they would just casually knock out one masterpiece after another. It's mind-boggling.

I am so happy you reacted to Lost in Translation. Bringing Up Baby is on my watch list. It's a little old for me, but I definitely want to watch it. At least for a couple of reasons -- one being I am curious to see a young Katharine Hepburn. Will be watching for the winner of the Wheel spin. Many good movies on that Wheel.

Bringing up Baby is fantastic. My favorite movies that are similar are His Girl Friday and Philadelphia Story, both with Cary Grant, the latter with Hepburn. Like the film noir from those days, the writing and delivery are fast and frenetic and if you didn’t catch something they simply didn’t care. They just assumed the audience was quick on the uptake. It was wit instead of broad comedy. And because usually the romantic leads we’re both quick and witty you could actually understand the attraction.

Rocky is on the AFI, so regardless of anything else, we'll see it in a few months or so, tops!
