Elizabeth Taylor Fox documentary...why???

So.is it fair..to litmus test eBay and the 800 listings of Taylor magazines 33 sold....to 1,500 Redford listings and 353 sold/ or no purchase

Apples/oranges. Redford just passed. Taylor has been gone a while.

Such a weird thing to get worked up over. Doesn't interest you, don't watch it. There are plenty of people who know who she is, and have seen her movies, even if you haven't.

Very good .... now that is a documentary I would watch... living in Oregon was always interested in Goering and actually cut out his rabbit cartoon characters from the Oregonian newspaper long before Bart surfaced.

if you are interested in Matt Groening and more spec. the simpsons I would highly recommend the series 'icons unearthed:the simpsons'. fascinating and well done complete overview of the simpsons' from inception to current day. every aspect of creation, production (extensive detail on all aspects), casting, impact on the animation and television industry...

'icons unearthed' is a spectacular series (the season dedicated to the lord of the rings films is amazing).

I'm still scratching my head how a self-proclaimed "student of cinema and teacher of a few films" seems oblivious to who she was.

Will there be a Taylor surge

Is it "Fair"? I mean I guess. Is it logical to use how things are selling on ebay to decide whether a documentary should be made? In my mind, absolutely not.

If you're not interested in it, don't watch it. To say it shouldn't be shown, and yes, that's how your posts are coming off, is what's very strange. Fox bought it and is showing it because they think it will make them money. That's why any business does 99% of the things it does. Maybe they're wrong.

You keep at least implying, if not directly saying, they shouldn't do this. After you get push back, now you say you just want a discussion. A discussion would have been "I see Fox is showing this Taylor documentary. Anyone interested? "

You are all missing the point.

Track 2 on Taylor Swifts new album is called Elizabeth Taylor. In it, Swift contemplates the nature of romance and fame, over an orchestral pop-influenced soundscape of piano and programmed strings.

Its obvious to me that the Fox documentary and Taylor Swifts song are all part of a paid collaboration with The Estate of Elizabeth Taylor.

So you think ET's estate paid Taylor Swift to write a song about her? Why would Taylor need to agree to that?
