Tonight this reporter will be attending a screening (as we pretensiosos in "Hollywood" type) of what its trailer describes as both "THE MOST AWAITED EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF ENTERTAINMENT" & "THE MOST DISTINGUISHED MOTION PICTURE OF ALL TIME!"
It's just gotta be good. "Distinguished Motion Pictures" are the best! (Especially when they're about "Hollywood.") See you there.

Going in your smoking jacket doesn't mean shit anymore becouse you can't smoke.
So, Bouff, what WAS the "most distinguished motion picture of all time"?
P.
Surely it'd be a nature doco about squirrels and such?
Telebision & Pond Film Editor Responds:
Certainly THE WORLD'S LONGEST MOVIE, the 1954 "A Star Is Born."
176 minutes of squirrels, indeed. Plus restored footage (they found the soundtrack, but the visuals were stills & long shots of doubles). Whew!!
The original cut ran 182 mins. or something, then the Bros. decided to cut it down half-way through its run.
Now we're almost interested in seeing the '30s, non-musical, original.
And we had to go around the corner to smoke during the welcome intermission.
