I agree. I love the stagecoach banter about their Civil War experiences and also the exchange between General Smithers, Mannix, and Marquis about Baton Rouge, but after Mobrey says "if you shoot this unarmed old man..." it goes downhill after that.
I agree. Wonderful synopsis of her character. The first time I saw the movie, during the scene at the end when Woody is driving the truck through town and she steps out in time to see him drive by, my husband said "she still loves him". I suppose Payne could have meant to imply that, but I tend to think it was more wistfulness on her part. I feel she was probably thinking about how "the roads untaken" in life affect us and how things might have been if life events (war) and weaknesses (drinking) didn't change us.
I see it’s been six years since you posted this, but I agree The Straight Story is so good. Harry Dean Stanton at the end was perfect. I also love Nebraska.
Same here. I found Conway annoying, not funny.
I rewatched this a few days ago and I kept being struck by the fact that she had really great legs for her age. I thought maybe she kept them in shape because she was always dancing around.
I've read the book twice and I feel like a much bigger deal was made of this in the movie than what it was in the book. Hollywood exaggeration for drama, of course. But still...I agree. I thought it added some unnecessary grossness to the book and movie that wasn't really needed.
Well, I just meant that I've said that a couple of times in the past and no one seems to get it's from White Men Can't Jump. I guess not many people I know have seen the movie or remember that line.
When Sydney's wife tells Gloria "It's your boyfriend, Girlfriend..."
I've tried quoting that a few times in my life but no one seems to get the reference.
I find Mrs. Maisel's stand-up act obnoxious, but maybe that is the point? Maybe that's supposed to be a statement on stand-up comedy of the 1950s? But I do like the storylines that happen when she's not on stage. To me the comedy gold is the interactions with Midge and Joel's parents and Alex Borstein is brilliant as Susie.
I hate that scene where she goes to Salieri's house and I think it was good that they cut it out of the original, but I agree that without it her line "I regret I have no servants to show you out" doesn't have the impact. When I saw the original I just assumed it was meant to convey they had no servants because Mozart squandered their money.
On Saturday evenings I like a good suspense/scary movie and thought this would be one. It wasn’t, really. And I just didn’t have much sympathy with the main character, I felt like she brought a lot of it on herself.
Now that the show has been released on Netflix I’m doing a rewatch. I actually didn’t mind her storyline, but I got to thinking – – if her character were completely cut from the show it would make no difference at all to the story.
“Lastly, Will was in possession of stolen items including a gun. How was he not under arrest and under watch of the police? The officer talks to him and then leaves him!!”
Because she wasn’t interested in arresting him. She was off to go look for the gold for herself with her accomplice on the phone.
I took it that she was touching her to make sure she wasn’t a ghost.
I kept thinking it would have been more interesting if it was really her husband who was the stalker/killer and the weird guy ended up saving her in the end. 🤷♀️
I'm a bit behind the times, just watching Season 5 now. I don't mind it except for the whole Pope thing. That storyline where he kidnapped the woman's kid and gave her money to go to Canada was completely unrealistic and stupid. I live in Vancouver, BC, it's one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. That wad of cash he handed her wouldn't last a week here and with no friends or contacts here she'd end up homeless on the streets or a prostitute in the Downtown Eastside in no time. I've never taken the train from Washington to Vancouver, but I doubt what he said about no checkpoints is true. They may not check passengers disembarking in Vancouver but I'm sure they probably have to go through customs in Seattle, Bellingham or the border at Blaine.
I watched the ending twice and I’m still a little confused. It seems like she is the double because we’re led to think we see the real Sarah being poisoned, and the fact that she was in a car accident because she seemingly was driving for the first time. But I’m wondering if the real Sarah actually killed the double and then pretended to be the double so that she could get her life back with the boyfriend and the mother? There must’ve been some significance to the fact that poisoning was mentioned earlier in the movie. Maybe she was crying at the end because she didn’t like being trapped in the role of pretending to be the double?
All through the movie I kept wondering why the actress was delivering her lines so robotically, I thought she was just a bad actress, but at the end wondered if that was to throw us off so that we wouldn’t be sure who was the real Sarah. I also kept wondering what was the point of showing the scene at the beginning with Theo James’s character and his duel, but maybe the beginning and the end mirrored each other because he was also pretending to be the double and that was why there were tears in his eyes?
I don’t know. Just my confused two cents worth.
We Will Rock You -- Queen
What I remember is that he was a career cop who was no longer working due to some sort of disability, but I can't remember if it was physical or mental. He hadn't quite reached the legal retirement age, so in order for him not to lose his pension benefits, Furillo was still turning in timesheets for him and letting him get paid even though he was no longer working. I don't recall that this Art Del Gado ever appeared on screen, although I could be wrong about that, but it became an issue and there was a scene in a courtroom where Furillo admitted to cheating the system for him and said he would not sell him out.
In close-up shots in his movies, you can see he has gorgeous eyes.
