    Tonight's movie is 1988's "Working Girl" which earned Melanie Griffith a Best Actress nod & Sigourney Weaver & Joan Cusack Best Supporting Actresses recognition. Carly Simon did win for Best Song: "Let The River Run"! Persistence DOES pay off at the end of this movie & real life. Have a good night!

    Tonight's movie was "Grosse Pointe Blank" from 1997... I must say that I LOVE Minnie Driver in this movie! I also loved her in "Good Will Hunting". Honorable mention to Joan Cusack (Working Girl) and Alan Arkin (The In-Laws)

    @drskorzy.bsky.social and I watched 9 to 5 last night, I'd never seen it (I'm a Steel Magnolias fan tho) and wow that movie took a turn I did NOT expect, I thought it was gonna be basically Working Girl. An absolute romp! IDK what we'll watch tonight to honor Tim Curry. What about you?

    There must be more Tracey Ullman Simpsons shorts that were given theatrical releases. I know a couple of others were released on VHS tapes preceding 20th Century Fox movies with that rare Simpsons intro, like "Family Portrait" before the 1988 film "Working Girl".

    Watched Working Girl with the teen last night. While it was an imperfect choice of a film for the night, I'd not seen it in decades, and is a good film... but I'd forgotten that it's about an attempt to expand Trask Industries. Now I'm wondering exactly where in X-Men cinematic history it falls.

    Both characters in this scene from 1988’s “Working Girl” are supposed to be 30 I don’t know if they read as older because I was so young when I first saw the movie, or if there’s something about the aesthetic of the era?

    It was my wife’s turn to pick the movie tonight and she chose Working Girl, which she’d only seen on TNT and it turned out had a few more “KIDS CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR THIS PART” parts than we’d thought, lol. Immediately followed with the Bob’s Burgers episode “Work Hard Or Die Trying, Girl.”

    Are you thinking of fictional representations or real people? There are a lot of both — “9 to 5” (Dolly movie and story that inspired it), Roseanne, Erin Brockovich, “Working Girl”, etc. There was a switch in the 21st century from this type of storytelling though. “Hunger Games” the big exception…

    I'm watching Working Girl for the first time. All I know about it is that Gene Belvher says it's the sassy sister film to Die Hard. And that they got the main character's hair spot on in that same Bob's Burgers episode.

    There's a Bob's Burgers episode that confidently declares that Die Hard is both a musical and, notably, the sassy sister film to Working Girl, and that is a far more compelling argument to have.

    Happy 77th Birthday to Sigourney Weaver. Prolific in film since the late 1970s, she is known for her pioneering portrayals of action heroines in blockbusters and for her various roles in independent films. Alien, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest, Working Girl, Cabin in the Woods, Dust Bunny, Rakka...
