You just expressed perfectly the murky theory in my mind regarding the two girls.
Thank You!
Yep. She forces the issue constantly. To Nick (in the movie), that’s perhaps another intangible “weather front” that begins suppressing his luck/instincts. And if he believes that, then it’s true to him.
This characterization of Fanny wants all the way into all things Nick Arnstein.
Good point.
Good point.
I thought it was too bad that such a great moment was wasted in this movie. Because it really was just perfect; the lighting on the face, the focus, the Johnny Cash song, and he shrugged right into it.
Complete Mephistophelian vibe. So many plots, that would have been a great tense buildup to some incredible con or heist…something.
I’m not a Dane Cook fan, meaning the usual routine connected with him, but he disappeared into the role for a moment, and I thought:
“This could be one of those classic clips every one recognizes”
It took me by surprise in a movie that had me cringing at too many moments. The friend-zoning was a little bit too stalkerish for me.
The Silver Elvis Suits that Busey and his team are wearing don’t help, either.
I happened to switch this on just now and when Danny Glover sees Gary Busey for the first time I swear Glover’s face freezes and he manages not to laugh, but he’s skeptical; I can’t blame him!
Then I look at their helmets as they’re about to go in and I swear it looks like they just took some aluminum foil and crumpled it up and made that to be the balaclava/skin barrier. Yeah, things could’ve been done differently.
Oh more people should have seen this!!!
There’s also this: The uncle was very clear that he didn’t want to be disturbed by the children.
The things we hold important in business are lost and forgotten 98% of the time.
I surely did not expect or want COVID-19 to come along. But when it did and we started re-assessing our priorities, I hoped we would continue.
I guess it’s going to take a solar flare storm or something like that.
We sure aren’t the smartest creatures on the planet.
As I remember, the ‘star’ prospect was really talented at swaggering in front of everyone else and diminishing their expectations; there was a hint of passive/situational prejudice in the plot; also, the pitcher’s mom was wisely insisting on “schoolwork first”. So the pitcher went unnoticed. He wasn’t playing on the team.
I also felt it wasn’t that much of a stretch.

Completely fits Dave.
For the first time tonight, I realized why that final scene as a touch of melancholy; the poignant expressions of the people watching him n camera from the booth.
They don’t break out the violins, but the point is made: Swann is happy and proud, but his rhythm is predicated by
Pinch Scotch.
He’s still glorious, and soon, he’ll be a glorious ghost.
I cried!
I like the way you think! There’s more than one conclusion to a story and it’s not always what the focus groups want.
Historically, it’s more of a possibility, too.
There was a movie.
The Swan.
Grace Kelly and Alec Guinness.
It’s worth a watch once found. It deals with these…possibilities. The choices we make.
Another thing that got Rachel killed was that the movie had her straddle the fissure in the ground. I noticed that this time. I was thinking why would you put a foot on either side of that thing was instead of just placing both feet on one side and gingerly edge over to see what you could see?
You know You brought up an interesting possibility.
It’s really interesting and inexplicable to me how genetics either seem to skip generations or become concentrated in the next generation. I don’t know why.
Then at the end she’s doing better; she runs after the little boy, protects him.
Then she starts freezing in place again.
I’m betting Gaby Hoffman wasn’t happy but, it was a role!
Then at the end she’s doing better; she runs after the little boy, protects him.
Then
Well, you know what Kipling said.
Pigeons Rock!!!
I haven’t heard of Chekov’s whale. Feeling very left out.
