Sandra Bernhard's dazzling one-woman show comes to video after a wildly successful Broadway run and national tour that virtually jump-started her career after a low-key decade of writing books and making various television appearances (Roseanne). Less structured and formal than her previous film, the cult classic Without You I'm Nothing, I'm Still Here... Damn It! catches La Diva Sandra in San Francisco, some six months pregnant and laying waste to the cultural detritus of the '90s. Nothing and no one emerges unscathed from Bernhard's lacerating wit as she paints a vast, swirling portrait of today's media-saturated landscape. This breathtaking ride showcases Bernhard in top form as she offers commentary on everyone from Mariah Carey to Courtney Love, as well as the waifish girl singers of Lilith Fair, to whom she offers the advice, "Just get out of that dirty bathtub for starters!" Bernhard is not afraid to call a spade a spade--and make that spade live to regret the error of its ways--but I'm Still Here... Damn It! is also about the efforts to keep your soul pure under increasingly superficial circumstances. Bernhard touches on issues of religion, self-fulfillment, bravery, and motherhood, and utilizes her stunning voice as well as her scathing wit. A tribute to Christine McVie, "Nightingale," is both a send-up and homage to the Fleetwood Mac pianist, and Bernhard ends her show with an intoxicating Moroccan prayer and a stunning cover of "Midnight Train to Georgia." And as photographed by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler (Medium Cool, Matewan), Bernhard is an electrical presence, beautiful and shocking at the same time. At only an hour, it's a condensed version of her show (for the full-on effect, buy the soundtrack), but amazing nonetheless. The DVD features about 30 minutes of bonus footage, including ribald observations of Rosie O'Donnell, Melanie Griffith, and Liza Minnelli, among others. --Mark Englehart

Great Christmas Gift!, For Sandra Fans!!!!.......2006-12-26

I love Sandra Bernhard she is beyond hilarious!, on this DVD that originally was show as a HBO special, you get to see a visual of the the live performance and Sandra's funny expressions with her body movement and face. Let's not forget the outrageous outfit she wears on here, the dress was 100% see through not to mention she was about 5-6 months pregnant too. For some people that dress might be offensive, but to Sandra's fans it's hilarious!. This is a different live performance then the cd album of the same name. This was not filmed on Valentine's day as Sandra saids on the cd album version and "Walk Tall" is also not on here, but it is all the same very funny!, with alot of unseen footage that was not on the cd album or the broadcast version like when Sandra talks about Melanie Griffith's fake lips or Rosie O' Donnell's sexuality and the funniest on the unseen footage is "Diva Moments". for me I haven't seen this in a couple of years since it's first debuted on HBO, and today for Christmas I recieved it as the perfect gift of Sandra Bernhard.

KEPT WAITING FOR SOMETHING FUNNY TO BE SAID.......2005-10-23

THIS DVD WASNT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL. THE HUMOR IS STRICTLY HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP CRAP, WITH NOTHING THAT RELATES TO THE AVERAGE FOLK. I WAS KIND OF DISGUSTED BY A COMPLETELY SEE THRU DRESS, ESPECIALLY ON A PREGNANT WOMEN. I DIDNT ORDER FOR THAT KIND OF THING. I WANTED COMEDY, AND THIS AINT IT. IRREVERENT IS ONE THING, REVOLTING IS ANOTHER. I NEVER LAUGHED ONCE DURING THIS DVD. THE HUMOR ALMOST STRICTLY PERTAINED TO HOLLYWOOD PERSONALITIES AND THEIR EXPLOITS (WHICH I NEVER FIND THAT ENTERTAINING). SHE DOES HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE, BUT I DIDNT ORDER FOR SINGING EITHER. YOU WONT FIND MUCH COMEDY HERE. JEWEL

Where is 'Walk Tall' (the opening scene)?.......2004-10-27

This is a great DVD, mostly hilarious and at times touching. However they have excluded the opening song called 'Walk Tall' which is kind of a monologue through song. It's great and shows just how talented and versatile Sandra is. The exclusion is unfortunate because it's the best part of the show. 'Walk Tall' is available on the CD and I recommend that everyone purchase that so you can hear this great opening. Otherwise, I highly recommend this DVD.

"I gotta walk tall, be strong"

A good way to unwind after a horrible day.......2004-02-27

I have seen this DVD perhaps 10 times since I bought it this past Christmastime and I'll probrably see it again tonight since I'm thinking about it. You have to be a Bernhard fan to really appreciate the sarcastic wit of hers and her take on society, politics and celebrities, albeit how it effects her in the world that she lives in. The fact that this HBO special filming of her night club act was filmed while she was very pregnant (I'm guessing 9-1/2 months by the shape of her physique) and wearing a rather see thru dress (due to club lighting), shows that she has absolutely no shame and we are all the better for it. Spending the hour just listening to her puts my miserable life into perspective (well at least for an hour anyway). Make sure you see the extras with her dozen or so (1 minute long) comments on different subjects and people (Mother Teresa and her house painter are favorites). She sings too! I loved the tribute to Giani Versace (a song on how the tragedy effected the lives and more importantly, the careers of the grieving supermodels left behind on the catwalk) and the cover of "Midnight train to Georgia" just brings a tear to my eye every time- who!! who!! Get the incense and bottle of vodka ready, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Miss Sandra Bernhard!

For a Hepburn Fan.......2007-05-07

As a Hepburn fan I really enjoyed this film. Hepburn as usual plays herself, and having read many books about this wonderful actress I realised just how much like herself is Laura Lansing. But then I believe the part was written especially for her.

A minor television movie keeps Katharine Hepburn busy in her 80s.......2005-08-11

Four-time Academy Award winner Katharine Hepburn was in her early 80s when she made this television movie in 1988. After she won her fourth Oscar for "On Golden Pond" (1981) she did nothing for three years until she made "The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley" (1984), and then a couple of years later she started making movies for television periodically. "Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry" (1986), "Laura Lansing Slept Here" (1988)," "The Man Upstairs" (1992), "This Can't Be Love" (1994) and "One Christmas" (1994). In between those last two she made her last theatrical film, when she upstaged Warren Beatty and the luminous Annette Benning in "Love Affair." None of these television movies matched Hepburn's earlier efforts on the small screen, such as "Love Among the Ruins" and "The Corn in Green," but they gave the legendary actress something to do.

Hepburn plays the title character, a wealthy and world famous novelist who is shocked when she is told that her publisher has turned down her latest book. Her agent (Lee Richardson) suggests that she should retire because clearly she has lost touch with her readers. Lansing thinks otherwise and makes the bet that she can live with a typical family in the suburbs for seven days. If she cannot survive such a mundane existence then she will give up writing forever. So the great Laura Lansing shows up at the home of Walter (Joel Higgins) and Melody Gomphers (Karen Austin), and immediately takes over the place. Having spent decades being waited on hand and foot, she expects the Gomphers to do the same.

However, when she is informed she cannot have the bathroom all to herself because it is the only one in the house, she shows she is willing to be accommodating by drawing up a strict schedule assigning everybody a specific time they may have it use. Meanwhile she refuses to let anybody watch any television, will not let the kids listen to their music, and threatens the baby when he dares to cry in her presence. Of course, this is only the first part of the story, where the unwanted guest turns the life of the entire Gomphers family upside down. But in the second act she will start helping them with their various problems, including the fact that Walter is paying attention to the Xerox girl at work while Melody dreams of the sexiest man on soaps (Nicolas Surovy), who just happens to be a friend of Laura's. Will this jeopardize her bet or simply given Laura Lansing the material for her best novel in years?

That was a rhetorical question. "Laura Lansing Slept Here" is a pretty predictable, but Hepburn must have liked screenwriter James Prideaux because he wrote the script for not only this television movie but also "Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry" and "The Man Upstairs" (writing television movies for Katharine Hepburn is not a bad gig). All three movies were directed by George Schaefer as well, so there must have been a high comfort level. Unfortunately none of the cast is anywhere near the same level as Katharine Hepburn, although Austin is certainly game (her character faints on meeting Lansing, not because she had read any of Lansing's books but because she has seen the writer on talk shows and she scares here).

The most interesting scenes are between Hepburn and Schuyler Grant, who plays the Gomphers daughter Annette. Some will recognize Grant from the "Anne of Green Gables" mini-series or even from "All My Children," but she also happens to be Hepburn's great-niece (Hepburn's sister Marion married Ellsworth Grant, and their children included Katharine Houghton [Grant], who was with her aunt Kath in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," and Jack Grant, Schuyler's father). Maybe it is just me, but it sure seems that Hepburn saves her best moments for her scenes with her great-niece and you end up wishing that there was more for the two of them to do together because it would have made for a much better movie. But the early scenes where Lansing takes over just strike me as more mean-spirited than funny, so I end up rounding down on content myself with knowing there are a whole lot of better Katharine Hepburn movies out there.

With the release of "Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry" and "Laura Lansing Slept Here," my collection of Katharine Hepburn movies is now complete. The rest of her television movies have previously been released on video, and while not all of her theatrical movies are still available I have copies of all of them (yes, even "The Iron Petticoat," the travesty she did with Bob Hope). "Mrs. Delafield" is the better of the two, helped by both a more intelligent script and the interesting choice of Harold Gould as Hepburn's leading man. But for fans of Hepburn the thought of not having something in our movie collection is unthinkable and these DVDs are reasonably priced. However, there are no extras and the scene selection menu is one screen with the titles of chapters appearing around Hepburn's picture.

A Feel Good movie!!!.......2005-08-04

The wonderful,legendary Katherine Hepburn rules in one of her later roles as a disillusioned novelist trying to find her way.It's a feel good movie that's finally on DVD!!!!!!!

Description

THINGS THAT ARE STILL HERE with EXTRA THINGS too!

Take a big bite of an Oram's Donut. Go for a refreshing swim at Ligonier Beach. Sit and stare at the dinosaur bones at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Oakland. Then you might start to understand some of the enduring charms of western Pennsylvania.

The area around Pittsburgh is full of intriguing old places, unusual family-owned businesses, a wacky set of colored "belts" that sometimes circle the city, and lots of other unexpected pieces of our past. In this delightful documentary, WQED's Rick Sebak (producer of the original "Things That Aren't There Anymore") celebrates some interesting old buildings, classic artifacts like Fiesta dinnerware, hand-painted movie posters and assorted other things that have survived in spite of our local civilization.

There is ancient evidence of human habitation at Meadowcroft Rockshelter, there are hidden luxuries in Braddock's Carnegie Library, and there are surprises like the Warner Brothers' first movie theater, the old Sewickley Train Station and the Calder mobile that hangs at the Pittsburgh airport.

Description

First, Michael Caine, Brenda Blethyn, and Jane Horrocks discuss their acclaimed new movie Little Voice, based on the 1992 play, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, about the unusual talents of a young English girl. Then, Anne Heche discusses her role in the Gus Van Sant remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror film, Psycho. She elaborates on the style of the remake and the changes that were made to the original. Finally, Sandra Bernhard discusses her new one-woman Broadway show, I'm Still Here, Dammit!, and her new book, May I Kiss You on the Lips, Miss Sandra?
