It felt like Chazelle used the outrageousness of Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon" as inspiration, but I wish he would've drawn inspiration from Brownlow's "The Parade's Gone By..." or Von Sternberg's "Fun in a Chinese Laundry."
Saw a Morrissey concert a few months back (great show). It was at a nice performing arts center. While waiting in the lobby, I noticed a guy in his 50s wearing a Fugazi t-shirt...and a Rolex...who walked straight to an elevator marked "Private - Donors Only." I just had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
Different strokes for different folks.
I love movies about movies, but it's the worst one I've ever seen.
Long, plodding, needlessly indulgent and a complete waste of the wonderful talents of Pitt and Robbie.
When it comes to early Hollywood, Chaplin (1992) is a far better film.
I think you just won Best Boss Ever.
Great scene in a timeless film.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.
Agreed. When she starts smacking Tee Pee in the head, that looked totally real. You could FEEL it.
This is a good challenge game. I'll be interested to see the final answers.
The opening credits did show a wide variety of assassination methods.
$100K/day would make sense for a billionaire client.
Is #6 from Rear Window?
Good callout. I've been a fan since of Hall's since Scary Movie. King is a favorite, too.
When I was in college, I worked in a restaurant in a wealthy area and waited on guys like Mr. Underhill. Nearly all of them were terrible tippers. They sure wrote that part right.
Good point. Management always takes a bigger share. So for the Paris job, what do you think would have been his cut? On his first call to Hodges he says, "It's been five days. I'll give it today and tomorrow." So it's essentially a week's worth of work.
Stanley & Iris (1990) is probably the closest he's come to a straight romance picture.
Blumhouse is usually very financially savvy, but you're right that buying the rights to the Exorcist franchise might prove to be an awful deal for them. Not every IP is worth the investment.
Great background on Frazier. Thanks for the knowledge.
The Founder is worth a watch. Fascinating story and great performance by Michael Keaton. He should've gotten an Oscar nomination.
Social Network is the strongest of the three for me as well.
I'd help a woman in distress. But, like I said before, you must run with a different crowd. You seem to be afraid of a lot of stuff.
She was sobbing and asking for a ride. All the men I know would have opened the door for her, driven back to the house, and then tried to work out some kind of communication. Had it been a man, I can understand being extra cautious, but most men are raised to help women, not abandon them.
No man I know would leave a distressed woman by the side of the road. But, hey, maybe you hang with a different crowd.
