I would argue that references like, "Posting 'me too' like some brain-dead AOL-er" were already dated in the year 1999. Perhaps this was intentional.

They used fake card stock. The edges should not curve like that.

That movie already was a remake.

I would gladly pay to see this in a theater. It looks much better than Uwe Boll's contribution to the Holocaust genre. And that's actually my favorite Boll movie. His banality matches the banality of the subject in a way that works, I give him credit for that.

Youtube has completely fallen off the wagon as far as controlling for nudity is concerned. Which is odd given that they have the tech to suppress it.

If they had done it as a rostrum shot of the guy sharing his grief on social media and then saying his own name at the end, that would have been a Ken Burns parody. This was not that. Actually it should have been Adam Driver doing a voice-over.

"I also ran afoul of the MPAA the first time I made a movie set in a convenience store, when they initially slapped Clerks with an NC-17 rating for language."

It's been a long strange trip for her. It started with "I don't put out." and ended with "I figured. The cape."

They made a whole movie about it. Jack Lemmon won an Oscar.

I sincerely hope the casting call includes a request for many women who are prepared to do upper-frontal nudity. Anything else would not be right.

Yeah that scene pretty much sums up the movie. Was it a dream? A telepathic event? Time travel? The answer is that it doesn't seem to matter.

The whole thing used to be on Youtube but got taken down, sadly.

"The would-be secret weapon is Andrea Martin as Toula’s aunt, mugging like crazy and entering every scene as if waiting for a studio audience to cheer her on; the whole movie is full of laugh-track-ready pauses."

I was just discussing this yesterday on another thread…

Yeah, but the way she was unable to let go of her grief was the most heartbreaking thing in the movie.

They made a movie about it. It was called "Ordinary People". Every bit as intense now as it was 36 years ago. And you can have the exact same discussion about Timothy Hutton's performance in that movie as you can about Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer.

I remember thinking how funny it was that Dominique Swain pretty much failed to play a teenage girl with convincing motivations in Lyne's movie, but in John Woo's Face/Off she acquitted herself perfectly well.

One of my favorite moments in any movie. She was that cool college girlfriend we all wanted to have.

That clip is on-line, and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

Jim Henson seemed to have a personal interested in throwing material at kids that they might not be quite ready for.
