Rex Reed touts Cathy Burns from LAST SUMMER

[moonspinner55]

One of the greatest commentators on film in history.

[kaejae24]

Actually Orson Welles DID win an Oscar , for the screenplay for Citizen Kane

[rainbowbob100]

oh my god I love him!

[zzzzz87]

How randomly interesting.  His opinions are certainly merited, and he muddles his facts, but it's interesting to hear his wrong predictions. Jack Nicholson of course would later win three times! (And Brando once more.)

[melizmatea]

Oh my God, I just realized who Adam Lambert looks like!

[marathonman630]

very cute...and it's the rare brunette that i find attractive

[marathonman630]

very very cute...haha...and it's the rare brunette that I find attractive!!

[PeterFormaini]

Cathy Burns' performance in LAST SUMMER is one of the finest pieces of acting in film history. Reed was spot on here.....

[gvt2u]

Rex Reed was good-looking and intriguing, and he had the best book title ever: "Do You Sleep in the Raw?" Don't know whatever happened to him.

[miguelbaptista]

@gvt2u he is a critic for New York Observer.

[gvt2u]

@miguelbaptista Can't imagine that pays enough to live on. He used to be a national name in the 70's. What happened?

[miguelbaptista]

@gvt2u

try wikipedia

[BARNEYFATSWALT]

Why can't we have talk shows like this anymore??

[bjnevin]

He needs to get his facts straight- they gave Spencer Tracy TWO oscars- for Captains Courageous and Boys Town, and they DID give one two Orson Welles for the screenplay co-written with Herman Mancewicz for Citizen Kane. He also appears to have had quite a snobby attitude, like when he ridicules the audience for clapping despite Cavett's perfectly legit question...

[metaclip]

Rex doubted that Maggie Smith would win, but she pulled off a dark-horse victory and nabbed the best actress award for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

[12dave9]

Rex was and is a bitch but I've known gays who were 'bigger bitches' than he could ever be!..he's actually nice compared to the 'gay cunts' I've known!.

[scorpio888]

@12dave9 Yes, Reed's not so bad --- but he's an example of why everyone should hold on to their youthful good looks.

[12dave9]

What ever happened to this 'bitch queen' Rex Reed?..also this Cathy Burns movie 'Last Summer' has never been released on dvd and it's a good film..

[johnyzero2000]

Wow not much has changed in terms of cattiness of gossip hounds in the past 39 years.

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

UH YES. Back then, people where nice, now they are SCUM.

[oooowwwwdddd]

Rex Reed keeps talking over Dick which is so rude. Like he just ignores what ever he says. He a snobby fag I hate fags that look down their nose at everyone. I mean I'm gay bisexual but I act like a regular dude you know. My hockey friends would never know I like guys too.

by the way, what the fuck in banaka?

[unfortunatebeam]

good for you for acting like a regular guy...just one question: what the hell is a regular guy?

[oooowwwwdddd]

UR A FUCKIN IDIOT..... A regular guy doesn't rudely cut people off in a conversation cause he feels his view is superior. I regular guy acts like a guy not a snobby spoiled little bitch who always has to get her way looking down at any opposing view as if it were invalid.

Shall I continue? Fuckin IDIOT!

[unfortunatebeam]

Haha! God--speaking of little bitch!! lmao!

swallow and choke on your bile asswipe and stop spitting it at me. My question about what a regular guy is was more of a rhetorical one, meaning there really is no such thing cause there's lot's of different ways a "guy" can be and who's to say which one is the "regular guy".

Thanks tho, your comment was v. funny!

[oooowwwwdddd]

I love you dude....... oh..... a rhetorical question.

Well then you're an ass-wipe and I'm right cause that's the way we perceive your answer.

And since everything is relative then your statement weather rhetorical or not is relevant to nothing and no one.

Nothing you ever said or will say means anything to anyone.

You are irrelevant and obsolete.

[unfortunatebeam]

You're breaking my heart! And I thought you loved me!! D _{

Somone who has the kind of moldy and mucid ideas that you have cant possibly call someone else obsolete. And surely if it's all relative than you are not right either. Yes, yes Einstein is wonderful wasn't he? Such a genius and such a regular guy!

(And I know what I say means something to you owd--sry, I had to abbreviate, only so much char count remains)

[oooowwwwdddd]

Well then let me say this to you;

I have a nice big bisexual cock that everybody wants..... SO THERE! You big giant yellow excretion!

[hoowoo246]

yo. this dude was as queer as a 3 dollar bill.

was he OUT?

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

He's here, he's queer. GET USED TO IT.

[hoowoo246]

The fuck are you talking about?

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

You, bitch.

[hoowoo246]

why are you calling me a bitch. ASSHOLE

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

Because you're a lint licker.

[FrankiesMom]

This is delicious. Nowdays, talk shows are episodic TV stars plugging their shows by describing everything as "amazing" - followed by a cooking segment, after which every member of the audience goes home with a set of cookware. Hooray!

[wholston]

not a very good predictor was he . . . ?

[Chrisdrumz]

LAST SUMMER was a pretty good movie.

[Bobb999]

Rex: If he ever wins an Oscar, he's just going to say in his speech "I owe it all to BINACA."

-Binaca. I haven't heard that name in decades!

Brand name for a portable breath freshener, advertised on TV, that came in tiny spray cans you could carry in your pocket. So, if you discovered you had bad breath, you could whip out your Binaca, open up and do a quick spray, and neutralize your reeking, fetid, disgusting, alienating breath!

-The key to success: Always keep breath fresh.

Good advice, Rex!

[themoonspinner]

If anything, Dyan Cannon's association with Cary Grant COST her the Best Supporting Oscar, and indeed she was only nominated one time after this (10 years later for "Heaven Can Wait"). Goldie Hawn won that year for "Cactus Flower", and didn't even fly over from England to be there!

[xravenscroftx]

rex reed is so cute! has anyone else read his book "Valentines and Vitriol"?

[sdsteve1]

If you squeezed all the butchness out of Rex Reed, you could not fill a thimble. He makes Paul Lynde seem manly.

[FrankiesMom]

LOL! He sure is a beautiful gay man, though.

[TATSUFAN]

rex reed is so cute

[BrokenBrandon]

Cathy Burns really deserved it that year......what a shame...

[ZachLaney88]

what happened to television like this?

[jababik]

Rex Reed was the Simon Cowell of his day. He just didn't captilize on it like Simon did.

[bondurango]

That's only because the fans of today that watch American Idol would take the Gong Show, seriously.

[scorpio888]

@jababik You're really right -- Rex Reed and Simon Cowell are both Libra/Capricorn Moon.

[marbleann]

You either love him or hate him I love him he was usually spot on right. Just listen to some of his predictions. Cary Grant should of showed up and snatched John Wayne's oscar away from him. It is crime that he never got one.  Long Live Rex Reed!

[wholston]

most of his predictions were wrong . .

[pookie67]

Rex Reed Rules!

[maineman]

I love all these comments very funny. And I have to say I realy injoyed watching this.

[NativeMoon]

Like Rex Reed or not, he actually makes some very valid points - points that are still just as relevant.

[proflombardo]

What a dick (and I'm not talking about Cavett).

[toddsolley63]

Gig Young won that year for "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" and his performance is among the greatest of all time. Rex is not a true fan of film, he's just a vitriolic old hag (I said hag).

[fishhead06]

Rex Reed - Mr. Negative, as usual.

[cliffshell]

You're certainly right as to his looking like "Flaming"

[soundslikefrank]

Rex reed looks like Elis in Flaming Star
