Yet somehow when the time came for an Ingrid Bergman biopic it's starring Chastain and not her.

Also the only memorable dude in The Town.

This is scheduled for fucking August 24 here. I haven't been this pissed at a local release date in a long time.

I know. Trevor Slattery earned >90% goddammit.

Give it to me.

And he just did career-best work on a certain TV show

I actually saw Unforgettable. It's not a good movie but it also doesn't have delusions of grandeur. Awkwardly stuck between an attempt at a psychological drama (giving Heigl's character reasons to act the way she does, etc.) and a divorced-from-reality trashy thriller in which women throw each other into furniture. FA is much more a puffed-up, self-serious "This could actually happen to YOU!" kinda thing.

Especially considering the whole backstory regarding the script and revisions made to it, it's much more valuable as a document of mainstream Hollywood and its messages circa the mid-80s than it is as an actual movie. The ways it continually goes off the rails are very revealing.

I had that reaction to Fatal Attraction. After its first 40 minutes it's a textbook case of a dumb as shit movie masquerading as a serious adult drama

The second is the only good one.

The second is the only good one.

Her?

I actually only just discovered this gloriousness a few days ago. Don't remember when I last laughed this hard. I mean this was a real thing that existed.

I thought fudge at first but if you look at its daily grosses at BOM they only add up to 700k. Maybe Paramount itself doesn't know if they want to fudge it or not.

Jarmusch is one of the most consistent filmmakers of the last 30+ years really. Up there with people like Scorsese and the Coens in that regard. If you liked this one as much as you did, that bodes well for the others whenever you get around to them.

Heaven Knows What was really solid. Those guys plus Pattinson and JJL means I'm in for sure. Hyped for the score too.

As someone who generally can't stand contrived drama in movies it was weird to be in a position of wishing Jarmusch would introduce at least some kind of conflict here. There are compelling hints about Paterson's combat experience, and occasional incidents breaking up the order of his little world (the couple at the bar), but even that's overwhelmed by the entire thing being just so determinedly mellow and generous. Also every single poem appearing onscreen in big curvy letters made my eyes roll after a while. On the whole it's a really pleasant movie with a great actor in every role but I'm in no hurry to see it again. Prefer my Jarmusch more eccentric and stylized.

Ocean's 13 automatically wins because it has no Julia Roberts. That plus hammy Pacino is a better villain than dull Garcia (who in turn is better and more fun as a guy who helps out the crew but whom you don't know if you can fully trust).

Powell & Pressburger had a hell of a run in the '40s. Colonel Blimp, A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes - that's four of the most gorgeous films ever made right there.

Heavenly Creatures is incredible but it's pretty light on lesbian action and pretty heavy on parent-murdering action, so I dunno if it'd be wise. Maybe replace that with Bound. And throw in The Duke of Burgundy too.
