“Showtime!”
Since today is Bob Fosse’s birthday, it’s only appropriate that today’s scene that I love comes from his 1979’s masterpiece, All That Jazz!
This sequence captures everything we need to know about Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider). We see his talent. We see his self-destructive habits. And, though we don’t realize it until the end of the film, we also see that death is patiently waiting for him.
4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!
Today, we celebrate the birth and legacy of Bob Fosse. It’s time for….

Today’s scene that I love comes from Bob Fosse’s 1979 masterpiece, All That Jazz. This scene features the legendary Ann Reinking at her best. Roy Scheider said that he cried after shooting this scene.
Happy Father’s Day weekend to all who observe.
1983’s Star 80 features one of Eric Roberts’s best and most disturbing performances. On the one hand, it’s the film that proved Roberts’s talent. On the other hand, it’s a film in which he does such a good job bringing the repellent Paul Snider to life that he reportedly struggled to convince casting agents that he could characters who weren’t shady and/or mentally unstable.
In this scene, Roberts-as-Snider gets his look down. Snider, a man who has no real identity beyond his desire to be somebody, tries to disguise his emptiness through the right haircut and the right clothes.
