Just watched it. I like it so much better than 3.
Even if it gets a little cheesy at times, I prefer the humor to over the top explosions and gunfire of 3
Your a moron if you think that's what I said.
No, not joking. I watched the first couple seasons 3 years ago and remember mostly liking it aside from the crying that seemed to happen in almost every episode.
I haven't watched after the first two seasons so don't know about newer episodes, but there was a lot of crying in those first two seasons. Enough to prompt me to post this thread, lol
Annette O'Toole is great, I've always liked her. She was very funny, and sexy in Cross my Heart (1987)
Even more so now 17 years later, lol
No
It is not Film Noir
It's an excellent film with wonderful BW cinematography, but that does not a film noir make.
Also Janky Gene Rosen
"I brought down some toys from my grandson's toy chest"
Sure you did Gene, you weirdo

He'll have an impossible task proving it, but Sandy Hook wasn't real.
Robbie Parker didn't know he was on live TV yet.

"cheated on by Leonard"
I disagree with this part. There was sex, but never was a committed relationship established.
I very much agree with you on everything else.
An awkward but beautiful movie.
Just watched it, it was a very weird ending.
Confusing and ridiculous.
Well, you were pretty touchy about my suggestion that you might be a shill. First telling me to fuck off, and then a couple attempts to insult me. None of which bother me in the least.
You must be lots of fun IRL lol.
Bye
Reminded me of Into the Wild as well.
I'm not advertising it, or even advocating it. Like I said, it's not for everyone.
Long dead stars obviously don't employ shills. But studios today sure do. They are often transparent and disingenuous, like you.
I don't care if you believe me or not. It was just my observations and suspicion.
Why did you post BS about the date it was first made illegal?
"Five seconds of research tells me that LSD was criminalized in the US in 1965"
Thirty seconds of research would have told you that's not true.
It was made illegal well after the filming of Seconds.
That's the point I realized you were being disingenuous, so I figure you have an agenda.
Hence the comment that you may be a studio shill.
Have a nice night :)
I clearly can't take you at face value. Probably a studio shill with 23,638 posts?
For one thing LSD was first made illegal in California on 10/6/66 (date did not go unnoticed by the "hippies") five seconds of research told me that.
Also, easy to control dose if you know what you have. It could be blotter paper that you could split into halves, quarters or even eighths. It could be liquid that you knew was 100mic a drop that you could dilute by half, or 10x so you could microdose with one drop low dose with three to five drops etc. Most people that used it were not stupid.
Anyway, we both agree his performance was excellent.
I happen to think he was probably experimenting with LSD.
I've done it hundreds of times mostly low doses though, which I would assume you would do if you were trying to act on it. It's not all about breaking on through to the other side.
Never had a problem with "flashbacks", that's mostly fear propaganda. It's not for everyone though.
It's not an "urban legend", it's just my observation. I think the movie is an early example of psychedelic influence in cinema. Rock Hudson's performance in it is so intense and passionate I suspect he may have been under the influence, and this tale of him having a "breakdown" in fetal position fits right in with that observation imo.
Cary Grant acted on low doses of LSD and talked openly about his use of it. Others did as well but didn't talk about it. Early on, before the "hippies" it was touted as a cure for alcoholism (the creator of AA stopped using with it's help), and even a beauty / youth elixir. An actors performance would certainly be different, and probably more intense / passionate / charismatic under it's influence (results may vary lol).
Also, it was perfectly legal at the time and didn't have the stigma that it does today with most people.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was experimenting with LSD. A lot of actors were at the time.
Curled up in despair in the fetal position is not an uncommon occurrence for new users of LSD.
Add in the issues of having to deny his true self as you put it for his career and I think this is a real possibility.
In any case, psychedelically inspired or not his performance in Seconds is excellent.
Because IMDB has no integrity?
I was surprised, a very good film.
Tragic, but brilliant.
I didn't even recognize Paul Rudd in this film.
Maybe so?
But this production reeks.
Favoritism Before Integrity Productions.
