Back to the 1930s for Bones

21 October 2009 1:19 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Bones won't air a new episode until November 5.

But fans of the Fox hit now have something interesting to contemplate during that time, as producer Stephen Nathan told TV Guide Magazine that the show might head back to the 1930s for an upcoming installment.

“A lot of shows have done those 40’s film noir episodes,” Nathan said. “But what we’re thinking of doing is going back a few more years to a 1930’s era homage to Depression-Era comedies like (1936's) My Man Godfrey or (1934's) The Thin Man, where they’re living the high life in the midst of the Depression - drinking and having a good time while solving murders.”

The episode would be filmed entirely in black and white, but that isn't the strangest part of the idea: would Temperance Brennan drink and have a good time?

That we'd love to see!

Curio: 10 Cents for Carole

7 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Alexa here from Pop Elegantiarum again. So yesterday was Carole Lombard's birthday. I usually mark the occasion by quoting my favorite lines from My Man Godfrey at every opportunity. ("Life is but an empty bubble.") Today I thought I'd share this old magazine of mine, which purports to tell Carole's life story. It doesn't really; it's mostly worth it for its sumptuous cover image of the goddess. I also love the back cover, an oddly patriotic image of Carole appearing to trod upon her hubby Clark Gable. For those of you unfamiliar with her fabulousness, do yourself a favor and add My Man Godfrey, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (not the one with Brangelina!), or To Be or Not to Be to your queue directly. You'll thank me later. »

Valentine’s and Breadlines: Love in the Depression

13 February 2009 7:30 AM, PST | Spout.com | See recent Spout news »

If you live in New York and you pay attention to the movies (or if you don't live here but you read about film across the blogosphere, say), then it's probably safe to assume you are aware of Film Forum's Breadlines & Champagne series, running now through March 5th. All the films are shown in 35mm, plenty are not available on DVD and every day there's a new 2-for-1 double bill of 1930s Depression-era cinema. This Saturday, the ever-dreaded (around here, at least) and always-plastic Valentine's Day offers a delicious dream pairing sure to propel its audience back outside with all the right Hallmark-approved sentiment appropriate to gaudy reds and garish pinks and overpriced (and often terrible) chocolate: Gregory La Cava's My Man Godfrey<a ... »
