I've wanted to see it for ages, but Feud is what pushed me.<br /><br />I didn't know this film was popular in the gay community. I'll have to read up on that now.

I think it's perhaps morbid fascination with these two film characters. Like you said, you really do have to hand it to Bette Davis for "going for broke" in the makeup department here.<br /><br />I enjoyed your review and film/miniseries comparison very much. :)Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-53397876606883397052017-03-25T19:19:48.347-04:002017-03-25T19:19:48.347-04:00So it's not just me.

Th...So it's not just me. That's a comfort.<br /><br />The story behind the movie is much more interesting to me, which is why I'm watching FEUD. I don't think anyone, gay or straight, would put BABY JANE ahead of EVE or MILDRED, but it's significant because it's the two of them together, like HEAT brought together De Niro & Pacino. The difference was, it was for essentially one (long) scene. Maybe Hollywood learned a lesson from BABY JANE?Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-33149073030922332912017-03-25T18:48:56.060-04:002017-03-25T18:48:56.060-04:00I haven't seen it yet, but assume I will one o...I haven't seen it yet, but assume I will one of these days. When I was a kid it looked too scary, and nowadays I'm just not sure if it is meant for me. A part of that is what you said about it being embraced by the gay community. In my case, I feel like I'm not supposed to watch it because it belongs to somebody else. Silly, no? I'm sure my gay friends, relatives and acquaintances would say so, but I've never heard any of them express any sort of opinion on the movie one way or the other.
