There's quite a bit of twirling camera movements in The New World, and when I think of Malick's visual style I definitely group the last three (Thin Red Line, New World, Tree of Life) in one category, and the 70's stuff (Badlands, Days of Heaven) in another. Not to say that Badlands and DoH are operating under the…

Re: Lawrence, when I read that profile the quote seemed to be presented as a self-aware bit of sarcasm regarding her self-proclaimed "redneck"ness. Later on the writer talks about her problems with deploying sarcasm at weird moments, and this instance of her suddenly bagging on silent movies with some virulence seemed…

Anyone here listen to the audiobooks? Some were narrated by Handler, but most were voiced by Tim Curry, and he was overall much more successful - - - Handler translated the forcibly dour and deadpan tone of the books to his narration, and they basically cancel each other out after about ten minutes of listening.

That scene where she's teaching her "Social Etiquette and Poise" class and presenting them with a help-your-husband-advance-in-his-career-by-hosting-the-boss-for-dinner simulation makes up for a lot of that movie.
