Ron was testing Jack to see if he knew anything about remodeling.
“... we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others," Gay said”
As well as other unfounded, baseless claims.
Hell yeah. We watched ‘The Whole Nine Yards’ last night—she was a highlight of the film.
That’s because we’re accustomed to watching 24-28 year-olds in coming-of-age movies. At the time of filming he was about 19 years old, which could make him one of the youngest “high school seniors” we’ve seen on film.
Although he seems a bit immature for someone who’s spent at least 4 years in a football program, that’s a writing and directing issue. It is, after all, a goofball comedy.
He was a late-bloomer and had grown quite a bit by the the time this was filmed. Even though he’s a little on the light side, at 6’2” he fits the general profile of a varsity quarterback.
No subtitles at all, no closed-captioning either.
A decent transfer with good picture quality, but a bare-bones release. Main menu consists of, “Play” and “Chapter Selection”.

Possibly a nod to Christianity?
It did fall through the cracks, but not inexplicably.
The Criterion Blu-ray release lists a 1997 director commentary track with David Cronenberg.
It might have been easier to follow and more engaging if the DVD contained subtitles. The dialog was buried in the music and atmospherics, as well as being heavily accented and often lazily delivered.
The story was hard to follow because some of the flashback scenes weren’t readily apparent, and the younger versions of the characters weren’t identifiable as such. Adding to the confusion, the original claim holder who ‘bought’ Dillon’s wife and baby daughter actually resembled the present day Dillon.
It might be tough for Hope to claim inheritance because the only people who knew who her father was were dead.
If Julianna Moore and Eric Stoltz had a daughter...
This is 100% correct. I worked in an automotive parts warehouse for about 5 years, and while the production standards and pressure to perform weren’t anything like it is at Amazon, no one would have gotten away with the lollygagging depicted in the movie.
The Criterion DVD has subtitles.
Hell or High Water is great. For some reason it seems to have slipped through the cracks.
It looked like the scenes shot outside the car at the drive-in were filmed using a stand-in.
Solid point. Henry Hamilton, the man who gave Will Salas a century of time credits, was probably a film critic.
From watching the extra features on the disc, you could see that they weren’t filming in the most picturesque locations.
Agreed. It was a fun watch. There were elements that could have been viewed as tragic, yet the overall feel of the film kept it light.
The author was very kind.
