Bette Davis - What A Dump! (Original)

[heartmulgrew15]

I've never seen this and it disappoints me bc this was one of her best one liners , buy who's afraid of virginia woolf ? Is one of my favorite movies . It's hilarious bc Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were actually divorcing and all the arguing and hatred was real . I love realness in movies ,

[davidsbabygirl58]

Just gotta love Betty Davis !!!!!

[mattychase]

best part of the movie

[AntinousIsGod1]

@mattychase Yes, but let's not forget the dramatic scene where Bette is assaulted by the crazy newspaper seller and the scene where she dies at the train station while a spooky version of 'Chicago' is played haha. It's so camp!

[MegaGum1]

its the entrance and the walk that sets it up.

Anyone who wants a real good laugh about Bette and Beyond The Forest, check out Charles Pierce and his hilarious take on Bette !!!

[bllaneni]

stardoll me trajo aki??

[AntinousIsGod1]

@whalleyPE Lol, i'm afraid you're mistaken. This is defintely from 'Beyond The Forest'. I watched the movie and took it from there. You can check anywhere online and it will confirm what I just told you lol. There's no such movie as 'The Sting Of Evil'

[whalleyPE]

@AntinousIsGod1 thanks, I was just going by the name I watched on youTube. Good to know what it is. I'm surprised that there was a Bette movie i hadn't seen.

[AntinousIsGod1]

@whalleyPE How many of her movies have you seen?

[whalleyPE]

@AntinousIsGod1 28. Little Foxes is my favorite. Whales of August is the only one left I'd like to see.

[AntinousIsGod1]

@whalleyPE Wow, awesome :P. Did you buy Bette boxsets or just individual dvds? Or both? lol

[whalleyPE]

@AntinousIsGod1 The main ones I saw on late night tv as a kid and then a boxset from Amazon and youTube.

[AntinousIsGod1]

@whalleyPE Have you seen 'The Anniversary'? That one had me cracking up so much

[whalleyPE]

@AntinousIsGod1 28. Little Foxes is my favorite. Whales of August is the only one left I'd like to see.

[nightstalkerck]

@AntinousIsGod1  you are right this is beyond the forest, the only bette davis movie that i want and not on dvd

[AntinousIsGod1]

@nightstalkerck It's not her best, especially since after this she did he definitive film 'All About Eve', but it's campy fun lol :). I got a copy off ioffer, you can try there. It's not on official DVD but you can get a great dvd-r recorded from TCM

[andreidinax]

@whalleyPE

it's the same movie

[Mike6E]

Bette Davis: "What a dump."

Elizabeth Taylor: ""H-WHAT A DUMP-AH!"

Both versions are classic.

[Tigerlily21]

Davis was saying everyone imitates her saying the way Liz Taylor did in Virginia Woolf, when she said it in a more sublte way. What it was is Liz Taylor's version epitomized the way we picture Davis saying it because Davis often did deliver her lines that way in many of her films.

[angeloflifelight]

Stardoll ;)

[Chihuhah10]

Stardoll brought me here... o-o

[97ros97]

@Chihuhah10 Yeah,I don't undestand.

[xlopeace]

wow stardoll used this. -_-

[edia05]

BD is funny when she talks about this in an interview she had with barbara walters, classic line for ever.

[LaSerpentaCanta]

the original is not similar to the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf reference, however that scene and Liz's performance in Woolf is genius. In fact, regarding the reference Bette Davis famously observed "Liz Taylor does a better bette davis than bette davis!" or something to that effect.

[NinjaDeathstarVideos]

martha said it better...

[AntinousIsGod1]

@NinjaDeathstarVideos Martha was hilariously over the top :P. La Taylor was a camp classic. I miss her :(

[mow1717]

its cool.she is modern now.

[ThaddeusRobe]

Who's Afraid of Virginia What's-her-name lied! Lied to me! She didn't just set down her groceries at all! She never had any groceries! My childhood fantasies destroyed!

[AntinousIsGod1]

@ThaddeusRobe Haha, Virginia Woolf paid tribute to it, it didn't rip it off :P lol

[alk3tom]

@ThaddeusRobe I used to think it was on purpose, since she wanted to know what the name of the picture was so badly, she explained the seen with such great detail but George could not remember, when she did not even explain it right... I found it funny but I always wonder if it was just the writer's mistake

[daimdar]

@ThaddeusRobe I guess if you consider the fact that beyond the forest would hardly have played again anywhere after its release, it makes sense that the only time the writers of that scene would have seen it was in 1949/50 or on television. The one consolation we have for not having lived contemporaneously with people like Bette is the fact that we can watch them whenever we want.

[handrecito]

@ThaddeusRobe I always though that the reason why the husband never guess the movie was because she recreated the scene all wrong. I mean, because Martha acted all wrong the scene, saying things that wasn´t there, is precisely the reason why George never get it.

[julianasrainbow]

She didn't say it quite like it has been imitated by impersonators.

[mzfiesty]

@julianasrainbow Elizabeth Taylor did say it the same way as her the first time it came out of her mouth though.

[PsalmHymnSamHim]

@julianasrainbow

Dear Miss Titanic,

Well the paraphrasing speaker may use emphasis where it is felt to be necessary; no harm in that.

.

What's you house like, is it a bit dumpy?, would you say?

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[twinnumber3]
