@realJackEason Even bigger actors (Pacino, say) are way, way closer to this career position than they’d like to admit. De Niro only avoids this by being so genuinely libbed out
@rickdank_o So glad you enjoyed. One of the most hateful American films I can think of (complimentary)
Also highly recommend either reading the essay about the movie or watching the doc on the disc, if just to hear about the madness of making the thing
@realJackEason Warners resubmitted it and presumably asked for the NC-17 rating (which you can do), it's on the MPAA website. It would be hilarious, though, to see them attempt to grapple with Euphoria or something (also Warners!)
@steadybloggin But-but-but where else can I go to take a really blurry photo of Renate Reinsve or whoever after viewing a movie that I will solely evaluate for its awards season "prospects."
@rickdank_o Re: Altman being mean. O.C. and Stiggs is one of the nastiest ‘80s teen movies, and certainly the nastiest I can imagine being any fun. Might be up your alley.
@2fast2bulbous@FCardamenis A release it is, but I don’t think the cut footage is that much more interesting (or really much wilder) than the rest of the movie. I’m glad it’ll be back in public circulation (unlike the other cuts, which have been destroyed) but it’s been almost classically overhyped
@scrappy_tman@FCardamenis I would never tell you to google "the devils watch video" and click the first link that shows up to something that runs about 1:53:40. I would simply never do this.
@rickdank_o I mean, he can say whatever he wants, but his previous movie was The Golda Meir Story, so it's hard for me to blame anyone for being angry at him
@Sturgeons_Law 1. English TV world has been known to seek out these kinds of stories (though more often for UK celebs)
2. Not that victims are not credible, but the UK's libel laws are so strict that journalists there have to build an airtight case for these kinds of stories
@xgabegottliebx That user is a militant transphobe and is making this comparison to mock Dembroff (who is trans). Her Wikipedia page outlines what is essentially an anti-trans harassment campaign that she started
@motelabyss I am very familiar with his rancid political beliefs; I am talking about what the movie (which is not him) says. I'm also not aware of him making these kinds of statements until the mid-2000s, over a decade after the film was made.
