Wow thx Ms Harmless for mentioning this movie. I never heard of it. My wife and I watched it last night. Amazing. I don't want to spoil anything but I got head to toe goosebumps during one scene towards the end it freaked me right out. It was like I got electrocuted.VinylGuy wrote:i think ill watch it tonightMs Harmless wrote:finally saw "Saint Maud", and it was great

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
Thunder Road was very good though I'm wondering if Jim Cummings has it in him to switch gears.Mickey wrote:The Wolf of Snow Hollow
With VG on this one--really enjoyed it, beautifully shot. Looking forward to watching Thunder Road this weekend.

Fun but not memorable. Second best pro-abortion movie of 2020.
i guess he could do it yeah, but of course pretty much the character for both of this movies is the same, so who knows...Still Wolf feels superior to me.bada wrote:Thunder Road was very good though I'm wondering if Jim Cummings has it in him to switch gears.Mickey wrote:The Wolf of Snow Hollow

I agree with all of this. She was so good, this movie is a must just because of her.Mickey wrote:Black Bear.
Plaza was incredible and the script is fun but it doesn't really come together in the end and the last scene really sours what came before
cant believe I haven’t seen this. Gonna watch it tonight probablytragabigzanda wrote:Fuck yeahMickey wrote:Blood Simple
Yeah she was really stunning, she elevated the whole production. I'd like to see her in more dramatic roles. Abbott was good too.VinylGuy wrote:I agree with all of this. She was so good, this movie is a must just because of her.Mickey wrote:Black Bear.

At the same time, some of it just isn't as sharp as their later films. Walsh is perfect but McDormand's comic sensibilities are under-utilized--there's that great scene with her and Getz talking in the bed where it kind of comes out, but that's about it--and it makes the film feel a lot flatter than say, Fargo. Some of the shots are kind of dull and agonizingly long (thinking of the multiple discovering Marty's office moments). And the fan gimmick is heavy-handed. So you know, it's a good, fun noir film with a lot of style, but it doesn't have the zing of their more mature work.epilogue wrote:100%Mickey wrote:Fun watch, McDormand and Walsh were great, and I can see why this movie would have made a splash in the 80s but in certain ways it feels like a dress rehearsal for their later work.
I wish it had been the first of their films that I'd seen. Coming to it after the fact really drove home how much like a dress rehearsal it feels. Which isn't really fair.
