Re: No Bathroom for the Anxious Women...IdawnybeeDecember 31 2015, 20:34:50 UTC
Ah! Women and Bathrooms! The lines!!!! The Anxiety!!!!! The Dis-Satisfaction! You and Hilary Clinton were both caught in the Bathroom Trap!!! I mean the figurative Trap, not the Literal one. It's a Hairy Trap! OK, you set me up, now I will shut up.
All we needed was that pig Donald Trump to be there to shame people. That would’ve gotten the line a’ moving.
Oh The Hateful Eight, we've discussed that film, but the Q&A sounds great. I wish that I had been there for that with you. Did Madsen address the script leak of that film in any way? I was wondering if his role had been curtailed because he and his agent? were involved in that leak.
No one addressed the script leak. The cast talked about it on Jimmy Kimmel, though. I’m surprised there is still discussion because when the leak first happened it was reported it was Bruce Dern’s copy. I guess people found that to not be true.
His character just mooned around (not mooning like the General's son, ;-) )
The only fair thing Tarantino did was to at least have male nudity.
Did Jennifer Jason Leigh, or any of them or that matter, address the misogyny? Even Kurt Russell who is is right wing gun nut seems in his interviews to be receptive to some of the rights of women. Was that topic the Elephant in the room? Along with the NNNNNNnnnnnn words?
Nah, nothing heavy came up at all. Before it even reached the time for audience questions Jennifer had talked about feeling safe with Kurt and trusting him immensely and he talked about how important it was to him that she felt she could trust him. I think that eased the minds of people who would be dismayed by the misogyny. And to me Sam tried to get in front of it by saying (trying to do a spoiler tag for the first time)
That despite what Daisy told her brother she was the true leader of the gang and therefore the most hateful of the eight. I think that’s his way of saying how they treated her was justifiable even though all the abuse happened before everything went down. [Spoiler (click to open)]
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.
It was as if he was going for the reality of the moments and everyone else was doing their best “All the President’s Men”/”Network” busy acting.
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.
Thanks for the recommendation. It’s actually on Youtube.
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.
Of course, for every Helen Mirren or Judi Dench there’s a ton of their male counterparts. Has an older woman gotten the same amount of roles in their 70s in the US cinema as the undeserved Robert DeNiro has?
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 remember at the time people lauding her for the action but I suppose it was just the novelty of a woman director taking on an action film. The rumor at the time was that her then-husband James Cameron was working with her on the film. I blame him!
