Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 Porky in the North Woods, directed by Frank Tashlin.
This is the first short in which animator Norman McCabe received screen credit.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour wants to watch with you, another clip episode fromQI, a very fun (at least to us,) quiz show on the BBC, featuring Stephen Fry and Sandi Toksvig.
Remember, don't let the dog watch this or they'll be yawning all day.
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1975 masterpiece Nashville, directed by Robert Altman, and starring a plethora of stars, includingBarbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Ronee Blakley, Keith Carradine, Geraldine Chaplin, Shelley Duvall, Allen Garfield, Henry Gibson, Scott Glenn, Jeff Goldblum, Barbara Harris, Michael Murphy, Lily Tomlin, and Keenan Wynn.. Nashville opened to critical acclaim and is considered on of Altman's greatest film. The film was one of the highest grossing films of that year. Even though the film was a huge success, many in the mainstream country-music community at the time believed Nashville ridiculed their talent and sincerity. So just push away from the table, and join us in watching this truly great movie Nashville .
The film was very much improvised by the actors and actresses, who used the screenplay only as a guide. They spent a great amount of their time in character, and the movie was shot almost entirely in sequence. All songs were recorded live rather than being prerecorded in a studio.
Demand Euphoria!
