The Americanization Of Emily

1964, Movie, NR, 115 mins

starstarstarstar
Chayefsky-scripted military snakepit, with Garner as cowardly fallguy for Normandy invasion. The standout in the cast is Julie Andrews, whose quality of sexy chill has never been used as effectively, before falling prey to successor of the Doris Day pro-virgin crown. EMILY is based on the William Bradford Huie novel, uneasily directed by Hiller. Nominated by the Academy for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Musical Score. leave a comment

Love, love, loved the verbal ...

Question: Love, love, loved the verbal ass kicking Emily gave Logan's mom on last Tuesday's Gilmore Girls. It just proves once again the brilliance behind that show.


Answer: I knew you guys were going to eat that up. And not to take anything away from Kelly Bishop's sublime delivery, but major props must go out to Dan Palladino for scripting the classic smack-down. In case you missed any of it, I'm posting the entire monologue here. Feel free to commit it to memory and then recite it to the raging bitch in your life:

EMILY: Ah, yes. Well, let me tell you this, Shira — we are just as good as you. You don't think Rory is good enough for your son? As if we don't know Logan's reputation? We do. But he is welcome in our home anytime, and you should extend read more
