Last year Goldie Hawn's Bird on a Wire got the Memorial Day jump on the competition and galloped to a $70 million gross; Total Recall, the first brawnbuster released last June, beat out its beefy competition. So an early start is helpful. This Memorial Day weekend, Hudson Hawk, with Bruce Willis as a reformed thief forced to commit one last heist, will try to shoulder out Backdraft, director Ron Howard's fireman-buddy epic starring Kurt Russell and Robert De Niro. Maybe those two films will duke it out all summer. Or maybe they will cream each other...
Crystal is great as an older more pathetic kind of wise guy than his earlier self. He is well cast and funny but it is Ryan--with her big blue eyes reminiscent of Goldie Hawn--who is really outstanding...
...into free association: how the shopping malls in Thailand look just like the ones in Mississippi; why he hung real crystals on his black knit dresses ("The spiritual thing was cute, but mainly I liked the way they looked"); how maybe he lends clothes to certain actresses, "but Goldie Hawn paid cold cash"; reflections on culture ("I like museums -- but really fast.

Rowan and Martin's TV Laugh-In domesticated chaos into snippets. It flashed absurdities, like vaudeville on amphetamines -- Goldie Hawn dancing in body paint, Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips. Laugh-In gave the nation "You bet your sweet bippy!" and "Sock it to me," a line that Republican Candidate Richard Nixon, among other celebrities, recited in three seconds of network time in September. (In deference to his dignity, Nixon was spared the customary dousing with a bucket of water.) The Rolling Stones snarled about the Street Fighting Man. Never before had an annus mirabilis transpired before the television cameras...
Imitation, it has often been said, is the sincerest form of Hollywood. So movie moguls are now hot to remake Women on the Verge, with perhaps Jane Fonda, Sally Field or Goldie Hawn playing the main role -- taken in the original by Almodovar's house superstar Carmen Maura -- of a TV actress whose lover has just moved out. This week Almodovar goes to Los Angeles in hopes of picking up a Golden Globe statuette. Women on the Verge has already won the Felix, Europe's highest movie prize. And on Academy Award night, Felix may find an odd-couple mate...
