This turned out to be an amazingly prescient post.
Maybe you had to be around in 1968 in order to appreciate it?
Faces are not that strongly attached, I’ve seen a motorcycle accident where the face was a flap of skin that was attached at one side. The fact that it’s revolting or distasteful to imagine doesn’t make it any more difficult than skinning an animal.
After reading the plot synopsis I immediately thought, ‘Equalizer 2.1’.
(Which ain’t necessarily a bad thing…)
I saw the first one, it was pretty good.
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
I haven’t seen it in a few years, but Employee of the Month was not as exaggerated as you think. In the 1970s I worked in a large warehouse for a major auto manufacturer. Not only did we have hideouts up in the racks, a couple of them would put the one in EoM to shame. One was wired and had lights. We didn’t have scooters, per-se, but employees rode pallet jacks around. Countless shenanigans went on every day.
I liked the film, in spite of the unevenness. Afterward, I went to IMDb expecting to find both [COMEDY] and [DRAMA] badges because it presented quite a bit of tension, mostly due to questionable choices made by Doug and Dick.
Toward the end of the film there is a phone call with his wife in which he appears to be mimicking her “Scottish” accent. It was so blatant that I expected it to have something to do with a plot twist.
