She was just amazing in both Father of the Bride movies!
I didn't see those, I'm pretty sure. I mostly remember her from Woody Allen movies.
Fair enough. Give them a shot sometime.
Steve Martin in his prime, Martin short and Dianne Keaton.
They are such heartwarming movies. Now that I have 4 daughters they hit me even harder hahaha.
Abu el banat!
Thanks, maybe will be able to view them sometime.
IMO one of the great movies of all time
how much of a detestable person Woody Allen is, I grew up with those movies and i have soft spot for them.
I find some of Gandhi's quotes to be deeply insightful and personally life-changing.
That doesn't meam I approve of his disgusting racism.
Some of Hitler's paintings were pretty good; a lot better than I could do. Doesn't in any way justify his hideous adult life.
going into a Hitler art tangent.
his art was objectively bad.
he wasn't going into art for aesthetics, the art he was trying to get into was the equivalent of modern autocad renders.
and his perspective lines didn't even converge, which is so basic he might as well present his work in crayons.
wether or not it was "pretty" was irrelevant.
it's interesting that before computers, all "cad renders" were done by artist. Before photography, expeditions would bring painters to faithfully take "pictures". You could take creative liberties in your work, but it was meant as a technical representation for work, not a pretty thing for someone to hang in their living room.
Ofc I was making a polemical point more than an aesthetic analysis.
Side fact: all the "computer animation" in the original BBC Hitch-Hiker's Guide was in fact drawn by hand by humans
when cgi started it was mostly wireframe animation. and a company came out which made incredibly smooth cgi wireframe animation.
it was eventually revealed that their cgi were actually painted models they filmed.

She seemed like a really likeable person
I never cared for her as an actress, but she seemed like a nice person who spread joy
79 seems a bit young, does anyone know what happened? Wikipedia just says “her health was in decline.”
79 is not that young. Life expectancy for women in the US seems to be ~82 (I thought it would be higher considering how rich the US is). And at that age even somewhat minor medical issues tend be more demanding and impactful.
I am anhedonic at hearing this.
I have the same calendar right here on my desk.
I feel like my goal is to hit 80 years old, but 79 is still a good, full life.
She was amazing opposite Warren Beatty in "Reds".
