"Hit Me..." Last Three Episodes!
Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 4:01PM Hit Me With Your Best Shot, the series in which we look at pre-selected features and choose the best (okay our favorite) shot has gotten a bit wobbly this past month (queue problems, off-blog deadlines) for which you have our hearty apologies. Here is a revised Season 2 finale schedule. We promise to stick to this one since the holiday craziness (Gay Pride / 4th of July) will have passed. Just three more episodes...
- Wed July 6th: Luchino Visconti's ROCCO & BROTHERS (1960)
- Wed July 13th: ALIENS (1986) 25th anniversary spectacular theme week!
- Wed July 20th: REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955) for Natalie Wood's bday
Please considering joining us. Spread the word to fans of Lt. Ellen Ripley or red jackets. Those weeks we did Beauty & The Beast and Moulin Rouge! were so fun. The more blogs, tumblrs and sites the merrier.

Okay, I'll admit I was hoping you'd do SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS for the other's Nat's birthday but you really can't go wrong with REBEL. So many gorgeous Natalie images...where to start?
can't wait for Natalie Wood day>>>>
Thanks for including me on the list and I'm sorry that I haven't done a Best Shot entry since San Francisco and festivals and my own bullshit. Can't wait for Rocco. Have fun during Pride :)
Hopefully Performance is next season. VERY visual movie. LOTS of great shots.
And is James Dean's jacket in Rebel supposed to be read as "leather"? Isn't it just a windbreaker?
volvag -- u are correct.
OMG! I just barely saw "Rocco"! what a coinkidink. Loved it. I would have to pick the "back at the manager's house to make some money" scene--- one of the shots of the TV fading .....
wish i had a film blog to participate.
Seth -- you can just use flickr or twitpic or whatever. anything linkable works :)
