Man, I am not sure.
<spoiler>It was also alluded to that Madeline had some sort of extra powers when she was talking to Verna, but nothing came of that. Now how could Madeline see how to get up stairs and strangle her brother if her eyes had been cut out and replaced by those gems? And back to the mom, I dunno, she seemed like some undead creature that barely recognized her children. I guess not everything requires a detailed explanation to be enjoyed.</spoiler>
I mean, actors are actors. I am ok they did not look like their actor dad. It was explained that they all had different mothers and that was that. Remember the Cosby Show? Those kids were every color but white, and it was still a good show.
Yes, these movies always have some weird creepy twist that doesn't sit well with me. The dad gambling his life away on a bet was weird. Pat seemed to stabilize surprisingly well for the last 30 minutes of the movie so that his mental illness was no longer an issue. But Jennifer Lawrence was looking hot, so that offset it.
Verna seems to have a sympathetic side which makes me wonder why she does what she does at all. Perhaps she has no choice. I keep calling her "she" like Verna is a person, but even Verna states that she is not human.
Ninjas, dire wolves, and Child Welfare, oh my! if Dorothy had said it
Definitely the best line in the movie.
Maybe that made it more realistic, as I cannot explain the motivations and actions of any of our Earthly gods.
The guests were all there for the debauchery and the sin and paid the price. What I did not understand is why Verna told Morella to leave. Morella chose not to, but Verna seems to have knowledge of events before they occur, so she probably knew that was what would happen anyhow. But why pick out Morella and none of the other guests who were all there for the same reason?
The diverse cast is explained in the show really well. As for everyone's orientation, that didn't bother me either. What did bother me was something that I have seen in a number of Netflix shows. You watch them all the way to the end where they then force an agenda down your throat that just seems, well, forced. This would be Madeline's monologue at the end of episode 8. They tried to tie it into the show, but it left me feeling like I was getting my indoctrination from the Netflix puppetmasters.
Otherwise, not too bad. The show kept me interested to the end.
There should have been some other people that can't age. And they all have swords. And in the end there can be only one.
At least I could watch this version. The original 80s version, even in the 80s, was nauseating.
I would have risked getting punched in the balls. KB is the epitome of hot.
I mean, I liked hearing the process for how the bad guys were making money, but there was nothing special about the rest of the movie. It played like any 70s low budget crime drama. However, Benicio Del Toro definitely has a Charles Bronson feel to his acting, and I would say he is about 90% of the reason one might watch and enjoy (on some level) this movie. I would like to see Del Toro do a remake of Mr. Majestyk.
Agreed, I was trying to figure out the purpose of that scene. Did I miss something earlier where the contractor was hitting on her? It made me focus on her the rest of the movie trying to figure out if she had some sort of problem when she was really a minor player in the plot as opposed to what I should have been focusing on.
Impressive a pill that works for precisely 7 minutes. Glad it is not viagra. "Ok honey, we have 34 seconds to finish and then he's finished for the night."
Yeah, with 34 seconds, he could have pretended not to have seen the guy or just coward on the other side of the rock or pretended to pass out, etc.
Oh man you are right. Splooosh! lol
That makes sense. It was just how he dealt with so many people (putting a gun to their head).
I was thinking he could have thrown her down the stairs head first when she was shitfaced and no one would have questioned it.
My mom told me high school girls used to throw their panties on stage when he performed live in the 60s. I really didn't want to ask if she was one of those girls.
This makes the most sense. When I was watching it for the first time just now, I was rushing to try to figure out why Edward was not going to be there. My mind came up with he was going to kill the people who took his wife and daughter away from him, namely Susan's mom and her current crappy husband. I thought she would come home from the dinner to find they were both dead. But yeah, Susan is the one to blame as she was ultimately an adult making her own decisions.
Guess I didn't get that one right.
