Her body is meant for nudity. Not sure why she was trying to do anything other than that. Career best performance I see. Well well well....Basic Instinct 3 needs to be made.
I'm not trying to be obtuse but I don't get what your point is here?

It's a pretty great interview on that podcast as they manage to cover nearly every step of her career.

Best case for its box office I'm guessing is that it's from such a popular book series maybe fans will still give it a chance?

Scorsese on mother!
QuoteIs it a picture that has to be explained? What about the experience of watching mother!? It was so tactile, so beautifully staged and acted—the subjective camera and the POV reverse angles, always in motion…the sound design, which comes at the viewer from around corners and leads you deeper and deeper into the nightmare…the unfolding of the story, which very gradually becomes more and more upsetting as the film goes forward. The horror, the dark comedy, the biblical elements, the cautionary fable—they’re all there, but they’re elements in the total experience, which engulfs the characters and the viewers along with them. Only a true, passionate filmmaker could have made this picture, which I’m still experiencing weeks after I saw it.

God this was dull. Page and Norton were the only actors who added anything to this film by making their characters a little more interesting. Boring, overlong and not at all frightening with the bizarre choice of killing off the best actresses in it halfway through. A well deserved F

I've seen it three times at the cinema and found it to be a very absorbing rewatch also I now know when to cover my eyes.

Murder on the Orient Express tickets have gone on sale and it seems Fox is going for a nine day opening as it's opening on the 4th November. I assume they want to get the number 1 slot over Paddington 2.
Odd that Murder has presales but Thor still isn't on sale yet.
At least at Cineworld

Is it wrong that I found the first part very, very funny? It was like the blackest of comedies as these guests would not leave and kept just doing whatever the fuck they wanted as your following the only character who's acting like a sane person would under the circumstances and no one will even listen to her.
After the second book is released and things just keep escalating within seconds as the character literally moves from room to room the tension is horrible, I just felt anxious the whole time. The acting and direction is amazing would rate this an A

LOL So apropos that fans of the man who turned "FAKE NEWS!" into a national catchphrase are calling for Jennifer's head over a piece of fake news ("Jennifer Lawrence blames Irma and Harvey on Trump voters! Read all about it!!"
On another topic: I admit that in the past I have been "guilty" of being quick to label a film "pretentious," but I have started asking myself, "what the heck am I using as criteria for my calling a film 'pretentious'?" I mean...do we use the term for any film that does not give us pat answers or a linear, easily digested narrative? Do we use the term for any film that does not telegraph every plot point or give us the usual emotional cues through music? Is a film that tries to do something different (from the usual) pretentious? Is a film that explores a director's "weird" idiosyncracies pretentious?
I don't know...I thought that for me it was worth exploring those questions.
I saw mother! last night and my verdict is...I loved the experience.
I most definitely did not hate the film and definitely was not turned off by the now infamous third act.
I am still trying to take in, process, and interpret/decode every last moment from the film, and once I do that, I will certainly talk about it in more detail.
I also want to see it again...
Do we even have a spoiler thread for mother! ?
I'm off to see it tonight and your thoughts on the film are making me look forward even more.

do you have the numbers saved for Force Awakens by any chance?
I'm afraid not sorry.

Comparing mother to American Assassin tickets pre booked at by local cinema, both are rated 18 in the UK and released today. AA has 6 screenings and has sold 106 tickets, mother! Has eight screenings and has sold 259.

I think the "please buy tickets" trailer they played will be remembered more than the film.
I don't know about that! it's gotten pretty good reviews last time I checked. I'm hoping it does well but I'm keeping my expectations modest became people here keep saying how poorly it's selling so far.

Liked the relationship between the friends and thought they sold the brother dynamic perfectly but overall wasn't that impressed. The set pieces weren't frightening and it was missing a sense of intensity, it didn't ramp up the scariness at all. Would give it a C.

OK HOW is American Assassin doing better than Kingsman? I know i know....o'brien fans. But its not only them....the movie is based on a best selling book. That has to count. Still....let's see if it breaks out. No reviews yet tho...
The trailer I've gotten at the cinema for American Assassin is terrible one of the worst that I've seen recently.

I felt like Cloud Atlas was the movie Fountain wanted to be.
That's an interesting choice because I also love the novels of David Mitchell and I can see the similar themes throughout.

It was based on a graphic novel and the imagery and themes were heavily borrowed from the source material. Most of Black Swan's themes and imagery were taken from Satoshi Kon films like Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress. Haven't seen Requiem since a long time but that had themes and imagery taken from Perfect Blue as well.
Wait I'm confused after reading your comment I looked for the graphic novel because it sounded interesting but the only I could find is by Darren Aronofsky released in 2005.

If I didn't have so many things going right now I would marathon Aronofsky filmography before seeing mother!. I'm especially curious about Requiem and Fountain.
I really liked the fountain, I admired how ambitious, grand and romantic it felt, also very beautiful visuals so it's one of my favourites of his but that is not a popular option.

Wow the numbers are incrediable, which just goes to show nobody can really predict anything, however much you analyse previous data.
I wonder how this does here in the UK because I was at the 8:15 showing last night and it was only about 1/3rd full.
Apparently on track for a record breaking amount for a horror film. Around 9-9.5 million pounds.

Saw this tonight and was very impressed it's not an easy watch (most walkouts I've every seen in a cinema) but I really thought it was great. It's most definitely falls into horror category for me especially the home invasion sequence which managed to keep raising the tension levels throughout.
