Letterboxd — Your life in film

Bummer for Harry Belafonte to be stuck with those two. Great empty NYC cinematography though. 

Feel like this maybe gets left out of most Threesome movie discussions? It’s no Design for Living, but…

I’d kill to be in whatever gang of hop heads that Mercedes McCambridge is running.

The Three Degrees were outstanding.

A horrible mess but as far as Ultra Lounge-seque wallpaper goes… it’s pretty great.

Spoiler; Kay kills the man who sells her into prostitution and gets away with it, in Orry-Kelly gowns! Pre-code banger.

I wish there was more about Bab’s ability to make flowers grow super fast on her rooftop and the use of clashing floral prints in her apartment and less to do with her past life experiences. But overall kinda fun until it goes on too long.

Violet Newstead for President!

I think I'd be more into this if I liked/cared about The Beatles but, I don't, so this fanfiction just felt... insignificant? I do appreciate the film's 1 hour brevity.

Though having seen this, I now want someone to turn this into a series of imagined possibly homosexual rock n roll vignettes - starting with a Big Star version featuring Alex Chilton and Chris Bell.

This was a very formative teenage viewing experience. Brad Pitt’s rockabilly pompadour hanging out in his underwear in dumpy apt hits a lot of buttons. This was the first time I saw Catherine Keener in anything and was immediately obsessed with her. First rewatch since the early 90s and it holds up pretty well.

PS - Nick Cave looks amazing.

Pretty boring other than the Ski Lodge vibes and Nicholas Brothers Chattanooga Choo Choo routine.

The whole thing is wonderful and joyous. Every performance is stunning in one way or another, but I really love the Stormy Weather fantasy reprise number and how it stands out against the other routines. I love a musical when there's barely any plot to get in the way, but just enough narrative to string things along.

Selena Kyle’s apt is definitely among the all time greats for Single People’s Apartments in Cinema History.
