You can only rent one tonight.
Which one would it be?

Definitely Mildred.

I just saw PIERCE last week, so I'll go with the other. You really can't go wrong with an old Bette Davis film.

Actually, I'm more in the mood for Dark Victory ...

Nothing can hurt us now. What we have can't be destroyed. That's our victory - our victory over the dark. It is a victory because we're not afraid.

Well, they're both sitting on the shelves of my video collection in my home office -- if I were going to run back and grab one right now it would probably be "Now Voyager" (though I'm more in the mood for "The Star" or "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" -- also back on those shelves somewhere).

Or "Jezebel." I love the scene where she is singing with the children. Her acting is so good there.

I have "All About Eve" and "Baby Jane" on DVD.

Why oh WHY does nobody ever mention the best Bette Davis film of all time, WICKED STEPMOTHER?!

Is that post stroke?

Did you love Jan Hooks as post stroke Bette?

Jan Hooks is hilarious in anything she does.

And I was kidding about STEPMOTHER. That movie was pretty damn bad.
