No Bathroom for the Anxious Women...IIchatchienDecember 31 2015, 15:04:27 UTC
Now if you had been watching The Wire, you would know that Liev and Pornstache were Bros. I do agree with you, Schreiber gave a very compelling but very low key performance in Spotlight. He plays a self-contained and introverted character beautifully. Much better than Rooney did in Carol.
I'll have to see Youth on your recommendation. It reminds me of an old Maggie Smith BBC film Memento Mori about a group of older people who begin to get harassing phone calls telling them that all people die. Maggie is wickedly good in it. And it has older and some very wise women in it. Why are all these films about old people just about Old men? There are more old women than old men, and the women are much more interesting. Again, Misogyny in Hollywood and Ageism.
I recently watched Katherine Bigelow's Point Break and I have to say that she has improved so much as a director since that film. She uses better actors, sorry, but Keanu Reeves is so very pretty, but he can't convey any subtext to his performance which is probably the reason that he was so good in My Private Idaho, his character was a mysterious cypher in that film. Gary Busey shows up in the film, coherent and focused. I think that he had his head bashing accident after this film.
And Bigelow's staging and framing of the action is so poorly composed and confused. The editing in her film was crap too. She had no voice or vision in this film. There was some indication that she could film action well but it wasn't carried through. It was just a big discombobulating mess and boring, just bits and pieces of promise there. Any re-make would be better than the original, excepting Keanu, he was so Very Pretty.
I reckon that Rickon don't look bad at all after his growth spurt. Yep, he could carry Osha and Shaggy Dogg around Westeros. Perhaps they could explain his "growth" as the ancient genes of a Giant coming through the Stark line. "Once upon a time, a Stark Man almost as cute as Robb of the North, fell in love and in the bosom and other body clefts of a female giant in the North..."
