I'm only on here for the Bears and movies

@Ingridpilled A History of Violence. Duality of the main character. First scene is Tom Stall and the second is Joey.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog It shares more DNA with Inherent Vice and Punch Drunk Love than any of his other movies… just blown up to 5 times the scale with a $120M budget. As purely entertaining a new movie as I’ve seen all year.

@startkyIeorton Would you rather shoot 65% inside the paint or 50% beyond the arc?

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Perhaps speaking too broadly. Harris in the third and Letts in the second chapter are phenomenal. It’s the final chapter with Idris Elba that didn’t quite work for me. Despite the stakes, it didn’t feel as propulsive as everything that came before. Epilogue shot is killer though

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Muppets Christmas Carol is the correct #1. Michael Caine serious as a heart attack playing against felt puppets.

@dabearsblog Watched Killer Joe upon its release at a small theater in Highland Park as it was the only place outside of the city that was showing an unrated flick back before the rest of the world caught up

@dabearsblog Love Bug and Killer Joe

@musicboxtheatre I have 3 tickets if anyone wants them. Early addition to the family unit has necessitated that we miss this year, but don’t want anyone to miss out in our absence!

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@Carlso1 @dabearsblog Knew it was one of my favorites the second the credits rolled. Blown away by Burt Lancaster’s performance.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog What a great, nihilistic decade of movies…

1970: Witchhammer
1971: Wake in Fright
1972: What Have You Done to Solange?
1973: The Wicker Man
1974: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
1975: Jaws
1976: The Outlaw Josey Wales
1977: Martin
1978: Dawn of the Dead
1979: Alien

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Great list. I would ask if you weren’t a fan of genre film, but I read your article on Jaws.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog McKean would have been excellent. Has the proper bite.

William H. Macy would have been perfect in the Shelley role. Don’t have to drift too far past The Cooler or Fargo for me to see it.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Oh I didn’t comment on Kieran Culkin and Bill Burr for a reason. Seems… odd.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog As good as Jack Lemon is, his palpable desperation always makes it a tough rewatch for me. Same feeling I get with Tony Curtis in Sweet Smell of Success.

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@therealjoebob And I’d cook in that 100 degree heat all over again!

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Skip it

[Mac_is_Good @mshumsky101]

@dabearsblog Talking Culkin or Pierce? I’m going to assume the former.
