unlabelledView post →The 1969 film “Midnight Cowboy” has become famous for being ahead of its time, but it may be most revealing as an artifact of its time—a turning point in the history of movies.
unlabelledView post →Listen, there are bigger things in life to worry about, but I shared this and a guy read it, decided it was the first time I'd ever seen the film (THEY READ THIS THEN DECIDED THAT), patronised me about that, then recommended little-known film Midnight Cowboy. WOMEN. KNOW YOUR PLACE.
unlabelledView post →Rolled credits. HORSES is a good horror game. Heavily stylized, somewhat disturbing, playing heavily into lofi-jank. Definitely not worth an "Adult" rating. IMO the ban on this is like when Midnight Cowboy got an X rating. A movie my (somewhat prudish) mom took me to see when I was 14, lol
unlabelledView post →Born 15 June 1941, musician Harry Nilsson. His most commercially successful album, Nilsson Schmilsson (1971), produced the top 10 singles "Without You" and "Coconut". His other hit, a cover of Fred Neil's 'Everybody's Talkin' was featured prominently in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. #Nilsson

unlabelledView post →JW: Midnight Cowboy (1969) A film I can watch again and again. Voight and Hoffman are superb. Schlesinger finds empathy beneath the dire straits of his characters as they navigate a New York sinking into bankruptcy -actual and symbolic- and full of human flotsam, all bruised by a hard city. #Filmsky

His film "Midnight Cowboy" (1969) was initially rated "X" by the MPAA due 2 its homosexual themes & "deviant" content. Despite the stigma, it became the only X-rated film 2 win the best picture Oscar

unlabelledView post →Rewatched Midnight Cowboy (1969) this evening… a helluva picture. Hard to think of two other film characters that are quite so memorable. I’m not even sure it’s that great a film, it’s just always so amazing to hang out with these two guys. Neither actor would ever be half this good again.

I haven't seen Midnight Cowboy since college & I can't believe I'm going to rewatch an extremely depressing movie for the purposes of covering a non-depressing tv show. You think I LIKE being sad?

unlabelledView post →What really caused a major shift in what the Academy awarded was, in my opinion, the film ratings system. The last vestiges of the Code had kept family films and awards bait films locked together in one box but the MPAA released them. X became a thing? Boom! Best picture for Midnight Cowboy.

It also happens to be a film about forbidden love.

The movie "The Legend of Nxxxxr Charlie" was shown and advertised all over the country. The movie "Midnight Cowboy" got an X-rating with zero nudity and one off screen man on man blowjob.

Andy Warhol’s Midnight Cowboy for the druggie set takes an unflinching look at the life of junkie Joe Dallesandro and girlfriend Holly Woodlawn in a film that’s disturbing and funny in a bleak way.
