| If ever there was a film whose time has come, Robert Altman's Nashville is it. We've got our own Haven Hamilton in the White House, and all the President's men singing "It don't worry me." Back in '76, people would chide Altman for his cynicism. But how right he was. That's Christina Raines beneath the Noxzema, explaining to husband Allan Nicholls that they can't perform at the benefit concert because they are registered democrats. With the long weekend approaching (and rain in the forecast, at least on the east coast), why not spend 160 minutes with a true American masterpiece. This week -- still stuck in the 70s. Name the film, and for a bonus point, name either of the two actors pictured. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

These are too hard. You should take down your blog.

They're only too hard if you're too young.
The 70s fit so neatly into Burckhardt's theory of the classical and the baroque it is too sad he is debunked by those cretini who favor, say, removing Dante from the canon and replacing it with Bedouin poetry. No?
Those safari jackets are a big turn-on. Yep.

Aaron, they are hard, but I've been doing okay this round. The scroll over clues help big time, at least they did last week.
