He didn’t. Shitty film-making. He was gut-shot and in serious pain. He pretty much either sat or laid down for the rest of the siege.
I watched it again last night. What makes you think this movie is “glorifying” this life style? It sure didn’t strike me as anything glamorous. I’m not going to quit my job and go live in a sleazy motel. I thought it showed a horrible way of life, esp for the poor little kids.
Not picking a fight. Just sayin’. Looks like a horrible shit life.
I sooooo want this to happen.
I thought he was removing a bullet.
I think her eyes make her look like a bug. They are almost on the sides of her head! lol
She's one to watch, though. She's excellent in everything I've seen her in.
Yeah but....that ass.
My daughter (a film student) went on and on about this.
Definitely see it. Kristen Stewart, too.
Why, I have written everything. Don't you already know that?
You know, you are on to something here. There are always a couple scenes in his movies that make me think, "Why was that even necessary, and why use the f-bomb twenty six times in a twenty five word sentence?" You know? "Tutti f-ing Fruiti!" It was funny, but....I call these "jack off scenes" (but not for the reason one would probably thinks of when hearing "jack off"). Being a writer myself, I sometime catch myself being overly clever and cute, have to stop myself. Zombie should do this. So should Tarentino, now that I think about it.
I see. I agree, despicable characters. Still, I looked at it more along the lines of homage, which Zombie has been very open and vocal about. DR has the best use of a soundtrack, I think, that I have ever seen. Particularly the end, with Freebird. That's one of those songs that if I ever hear it again, it will be too soon, but his use of it in the end of DR was brilliant. He took that long, boring song and made it awesome again. (Though I still turn it off when it comes on the radio, lol)
They ALMOST died. Lol. They all survived. Capt Spaulding was executed in the beginning (probably because Sid was dying--he looked really bad). I loved DR. I think "playing it straight" was fine, for that movie. 1000 & DR are completely different. I can't say which I prefer, but if I had to choose I would say 1000. Still, DR is awesome.
This one he "plays straight" as well, but it's just....stupid. I hate to say it. Even stupider than Lords of Salem, which I tried really hard to like but it was just plain dumb. 31 was ok, not great. But 3 from Hell is a waste of time.
When in Texas Chainsaw Massacre did the cops storm the house and attempt to capture the family of killers? I don't remember that happening in TCM at all. Did you actually see The Devil's Rejects?
He is creative, sure. I just watched 3 from Hell and maaaaaaaaan did it suck. Don't get me wrong, I am a die-hard fan of Corpses and Rejects, but he needs to stop. This movie shouldn't have been made. Weak script, gratuitous profanity (really got sick of the word mf-er), rehashing the same old stuff. Baby's character was really, really stupid. Bill was great of course, but had very little to work with. It had a couple good moments, but overall, I think he's lost it.
Late to the post but I don’t see it. Tra La La was a whore. A prostitute. Jessica’s character was a misunderstood (or bored) military wife. Apples & oranges. Both fantastic actors.
Of sorts. See my post above. It's a lovers-on-the-run flick that's been done a million times. I even cited B&C, and mentioned that while they were criminals, and Q&S aren't, it's the same old s***.
That's the whole point of the movie? Really. Well in that case I will keep my $10 and just turn on the news.
You obviously are refusing to entertain the idea that a movie, even if it has black folks in it, can be a tired old cliche. Black people can being boring too. Just saying.
Sadly, I totally agree with you. Once she gets her hands on the book, you REALLY have to suspend your belief in realism. Everything fell into place a little too perfectly. And you’re right—we never actually see the crime happen, and that had to be done for a reason. Still, with the subsequent gun shot, it sure seems like he was guilty.
I was around five stars up until the finding of the book. Then it went from four to three. Good flick, not great. Definitely a heartbreaker. The kids’ acting is fantastic—they got tears out of me.
And Naomi, with her Botox-free forehead. She rules.
I see. Well, Blackness in America is ONE of the themes, and I have no problem with that. Another theme here is Wrongly Accused and on the Run. That's what bores me about it. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, just on-the-run movies are passe. I can't think of anything happening in it that hasn't been done a million times. I could be wrong, but this kind of movie doesn't interest me.
I suppose I should add not all the movies above are about wrongly accused people, just people on the run who are supposed to be seen as heroic. I'm just tired of that.
Why are you "not sure" this is a repeat theme? Are you saying it isn't a repeat theme? This movie has been countless times. Re:
Bonnie & Clyde
Natural Born Killers
Wild at Heart
Badlands
Gun Crazy
The Getaway
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Legend of Billie Jean
Wisdom
Thelma and Louise
...and these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.....
