@decoyrobot It’s a well made movie but it really failed at the scariest part of the book, which is the last chapter when it gets into how much bigger this was than William Hale. Dozens more murders that can’t be logically tied to him.
@noahgittell@MattZeitlin It was the first one, and again I don’t think that’s a problem. I don’t think the people listening to Rewatchables would be listening to the type of film commentary you like if Rewatchables didn’t exist. They would just watch less movies.
@noahgittell@MattZeitlin Maybe it needed to be dumbed down. There was a lot more high brow film critique in 2015 than 1985 and nobody would argue movies were better in 2015.
@Bernstein Are there any movies in the past 10 years you’d put in the pantheon of their category? I think in some ways, nothing can be in the pantheon until it’s stood the test of some time.
@born6350@MeekPhill_ The Nimmo stuff is really rose-colored glasses to me. In at bats where the game was within 1 run in the last 3 innings, he had a .331 OPS. Impossibly bad in the biggest spots.
