looks great! sad the writer passed at only 54

I just saw a movie I started watching that I was shocked that I liked because it was so outside my usual films (Comedies. thrillers) - 2010- Love and other Medicine with Jake something and a very pretty leading lady I never heard of..about a Drug Rep (prozac..not the illegal ones) and a lady with early onset Parkinsons..surprised at how poignant and funny it was

I agree- love Depp in alot of films but LEAVE THE CLASSICS ALONE!!! William Powell IS Nick Charles!!!
Who are they going to cast as Nora to attract today's crowd.... Paris Hilton?

Bill wrote: "I agree, why ruin a good, classic movie with a remake... I think you're right about the dog, Wally, I thought it was just Asta, but I may be wrong.."

Wally wrote: "Kimberly, I agree. William Powell will always be the thin man. And their little dog Astra (?) I think that was the name.

Again, thanks Rick and welcome everyone."

Welcome Jason...amazing that James Mason never won an Oscar- nominated 3 times..yet after reading so much about him..I really do not think he cared a great deal..hated the pretention of Hollywood and he took great pride in not even showing up at Oscars when he was first Nominated for A Star Is Born after promising he would..."That event always does better when things don't go as planned"
