Nathaniel Thanks You

26 November 2009 5:00 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

I am surely in a friend & food coma while you're reading this. Happily so! This Thanksgiving I'm grateful for all of you. You keep coming back daily to read the latest cinematic musings here at The Film Experience. Obsessing on the movies is really meant to be a team sport so I appreciate the fine company. They don't make movie theaters with one seat in them.

So thank you for being here daily from all over the world -- not just the States -- with an especially amorphous shout out to readers in Canada, the UK, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, Mexico and The Philippines. You've always been supportive. And a big hug to my magical elves contributors who've really helped keep the blog going during a difficult year.

Normal programming resumes tomorrow but I must give thanks to the following sources of cinematic happiness at the moment: ambiguous endings, »

Dynasty | Cable girl

17 November 2009 4:08 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

I have never been happier. For Dynasty - greatest of all 80s soaps - starts tonight

Dynasty in pictures: From Joan Collins's shoulder pads to Michael Praed's pants

I literally could not – wait, let me check myself over . . . yes, I am right – I literally could not be happier. Not if I had a ginger kitten in each pocket and was on my way to a meringue-tasting soiree hosted by George Clooney and Hud-era Paul Newman. Dynasty (CBS Drama) is back. Tonight. Dynasty. Back. Tonight. With the original three-hour premiere, helpfully entitled Oil. Managing not to add an exclamation mark to that was the first and last moment of restraint this most glorious of all the 80s soaps ever showed.

The tone is set from the first scenes, as oil tycoon Blake Carrington is driven in his limousine across his estate and out through his monogrammed electric gates. »

Jane Fonda vs. Geoffrey Rush for the Triple Crown

6 May 2009 6:10 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

You know about the Triple Crown of Acting, right? It's when an actor manages to stretch across three mediums and snag all three of the top competitive prizes: Tony (theater), Emmy (television) and Oscar (film).

To date only 15 actors* have accomplished this but the number could jump to 17 soon. Currently the rarified list reads like so...

Jack Albertson (Tony: 65, Oscar: 69, Emmy: 75)

Anne Bancroft (Tony: 58, Oscar: 63, Emmy: 99)

Ingrid Bergman (Oscar: 45, Tony: 47, Emmy: 60)

Shirley Booth (Tony: 49, Oscar: 53, Emmy: 62)

Melvyn Douglas (Tony: 60, Oscar: 64, Emmy: 68) Did you know that this Hud star was Illeanna Douglas's grandfather? I certainly didn't.

Jeremy Irons (Tony: 84, Oscar: 91, Emmy: 97)

Thomas Mitchell (Oscar: 40, Tony: 53, Emmy: 53)

Rita Moreno (Oscar: 62, Tony: 75, Emmy: 77)
