COOLNESS.

uh. me too.

I don't know whether I am sad or thrilled that they never got the movie version off the ground, because I know it would probably be ruined.

There was supposed to be one done by one of the TV movie production companies (not HBO), I was in it... the producers split to Mex with all the jack early in production. So, I assume they still own the rights.

There is supposed to be some half-assed version that is usually described as "cutouts pasted to popsicle sticks." I have avoided learning more.

Saw Harold and Maude last night. Really good and pretty weird.

I love that movie!! I quietly fear in the back of my mind that they'll try to remake it someday.

Do you own a copy? If not, you can have mine. I love all of his other films, esp. night on earth. coffee and cigs didn't turn my crank though.

Well, I looked up Ruth Gordon and she won 2 Golden Globes, 1 Emmy, and 1 Oscar, a Triple Crown. If she had done more stage, she probably would have ended up with a Tony.

If they do a remake, they had better pick someone good enough.

In 20 years, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close will be ready for the part. As for Bud Cort, I love the look on his face in the shot they used for the cover. I haven't seen a deer in headlights look like that since Dan Quayle.:p

It's too bad Angelina Jolies baby is a girl or you would have your "Harold".

Of course, there is no chance of switching the roles around to that of an 76-year-old man and his 20-year-old girlfriend. That's not a movie classic, that's real life.

It is my personal bias but Streep doesn't/won't have the chops for that part. Ms. Gordon played it right up to the edge and stayed believable, Streep would overplay her hand.

Although I think we diverge a bit in our esteem of screen goddesses, I have to agree with you about streep. There is something almost desperate about her acting. In the early days I thought of it as just intensity, these days it seems that she's overcompensating for not being flavor of the month anymore.
