I can't give you a contemporary analogy because none quite works, but it remains a you-cannot-look-away mindblower. It's rentable in many places; pls don't watch on Tubi.
positive · AI labelView post →Also the fact that Jason Turkish is apparently erroneously telling reporters his fiancee is going to publicly retract her AES endorsement is such an insane boundary violation??? What kind of fucked up Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf thing do these two have going on
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, *you* can define Christmas the way *you* want, but to me, Christmas is the holiday in which parents drink, fight, & refer to their sons as "the fat one," "the dumb one," and "the golden boy" and their daughter as "the other fat one." WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is a Christmas movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The moment I knew Patrick Stewart was not merely a great actor, but a superlative actor was when I saw him play George in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". Think of Patrick Stewart. Now imagine him without charisma or charm. Mind-boggling, right?
positive · AI labelView post →Many years later they essentially did the same thing to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Every time they withhold an award like that, posterity eventually makes them look dumb or shortsighted. So it's a good reminder about the fallibility of all prizes!

positive · AI labelView post →The best Patrick Stewart stories I have are my mum's. She saw him in a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in London in the 1980s opposite Billie Whitelaw and her abiding memory of the play was that at the end when the curtains came down there was just stunned silence.

A little BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS, a little WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?, a little WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, and more camp than every FRIDAY THE 13TH movie combined.

Why won't AEW do "The Exorcist" or "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Do The Conglomeration as the cast from "The Town" Lio Rush as "Arthur" Death Riders as "Sharky's Machine"

neutral · AI labelView post →We saw him in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf at the Guthrie, back when we had season tickets. I've seen a lot of amazing plays with actors who could *grab* you. He had more stage presence than any of them, yet didn't overshadow the other cast members.

positive · AI labelView post →Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf was intense and brilliant last night!
positive · AI labelView post →True for the play as well, but: In "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," they have to sing the title line to "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush," not "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf," the rights to which were owned by Disney.

Wrote a long essay at college on death and absence in this and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (aka a long night's journey into day). There is very little quite like them.

neutral · AI labelView post →Segal was a quality comedic actor. I enjoyed his performance in Mike Nichol's 1966 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' as well as his more abbreviated stint in Gus Van Sant's 1995 'To Die For' alongside Nicole Kidman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, trying not to spoil it for anyone, it kind of is but it isn't, if that makes any sense. That plays a role in the climax (no pun intended), but it's more a dysfunctional relationship movie. Maybe it owes a debt to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf or Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. It's so funny. 😂

Liz Taylor and Richard Burton rip each other (and hapless party guests George Segal and Sandy Denny) to shreds in Mike Nichols' 1966 adaptation of Edward Albee's Tony-winning play. My review:
neutral · AI labelView post →The last movie to be shown at the Albee was "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" an adaptation of the play by Edward Albee, E.F.'s grandson. It was demolished in 1978.
neutral · AI labelView post →Trying to come up with a few that aren't on the list: Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) - Just a beautifully touching film, with a unique style and a great cameo of Peter Falk as himself. Much better than the English Language remake (City of Angels) Come and See (Idi i smotri) - Hard to watch, but an incredible portrayal of the horrors of war. Not a feel-good film at all. But an amazing feat of filmmaking. My Dinner With Andre - It's ironic that the movie that Roger Ebert referred to…

Resurrection Blues premiered at the Guthrie in Minneapolis with the same director who directed Stewart in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the year before. So Stewart DID have a tenuous connection to the show... news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200...

neutral · AI labelView post →I was lucky enough to see Patrick Stewart onstage at the Guthrie in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' and I directed two plays by @btaitt.bsky.social in which the esteemed actor was the main character. His presence on stage and screen was iconic and his place in the universe eternal. 🖖🏼
positive · AI labelView post →I saw that play. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", at the old Guthrie location in Walker Art Center. It was great!
positive · AI labelView post →The title WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? is a parody of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?," but in the movie it's sung to the tune of "All Around the Mulberry Bush" to avoid having to pay Disney. I never knew the original Broadway production did the same thing for the same reason. 😂
