Miller’s Crossing is THE BEST! The first thing I saw him in was Five Corners, about a psychotic young man who comes back to his Bronx neighborhood, after he gets out if jail, to disrupt the lives of his old acquaintances. It has an amazing cast, and guess who plays the psycho? I suspect it hasn’t aged well, if the…

I’m not sexually attracted to Turturro, but he is a great character actor (I ignore the “Transformers” unpleasantness), and since you seem so wound up for him: don’t forget his very best performance ever, in Miller’s Crossing.

Yes, Wes Craven (sorry!) and I did the exact same thing after I first saw it.

The real monster is the husbands we lost along the way...

I assume you mean Wes Craven, but the point stands. And it fucking worked. That movie got to me. I immediately got up and showered after watching that.

John Carpenter has spoken pretty eloquently about how Last House on the Left was meant to be a statement on our culture’s desensitization to the violence and horrors of the Vietnam War. He wanted to shock viewers with how truly ugly and unglamorous the reality is. And, well, mission accomplished. (?)

I saw The Babadook twice and never thought the monster was anything other than a literal monster. It’s a symbol of grief? Am I a dumbass?

The slasher genre, at least at its height in the 80s, wasn’t meant to chastise promiscuous teens. You’re removing the context of the era the films were made in. It was meant to chastise and annoy Reaganites of 80s who generally wanted those they saw as undesirables in America (recreational users, the sexually…

The best horror movies are ones that make the viewer ask questions about meaning and choices. The reasoning of the Antagonist is not always supposed to be known. The unknown makes the movie better because it asks it viewer to make up their own mind about it. They make the viewer confront something they don’t and let…

George Romero said that The Night of the Living Dead was about what would happen if a political group was only focused on their agenda without caring about any of the consequences.

Maybe Jason likes women who remain on good terms with their exes, and he wants to be friends with Michael Sheen?

They also both seem really fun, as much as you can tell from social media and appearances on talk shows. I kind of think they could genuinely enjoy each other’s company. 

I’ve noticed the same thing as I got older! Men in my age group largely ignore me (out chasing 20-somethings I guess?) and I’ve noticed an uptick of attention from much younger men. But I thought she dated a 21 or 22-year-old recently? Which strikes me as way too young, even if you’re into younger men. I feel like 14…

Kate hasn’t been romantically connected to anyone since her brief 2020 dalliance with Goody Grace. And who can forget her whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson?

I gotta say, I’m Kate’s age and literally the only dudes that ask me out these days are MUCH younger. Like, I can tell they are “young” (as in -er than me) but usually don’t figure out how much younger until they tell me. The youngest guy I’ve dated was about 14 years my junior. Maybe the only men that ask her out…

I’m relieved by this, her love interests were trending younger and younger and I was hoping we didn’t have a Madonna situation developing :-/

I love Kate for this reason. She’s been lowkey living her bad bitch best life for decades. Always out looking fly, doing fun things with a string of hot men on her arm. Total icon to moms everywhere.

I’ve got to stop this “Pete Davidson is hot” nonsense... he’s a pothead Jimmy Fallon (including laughing in all of his sketches). I’m not calling him ugly- I’m pointing out that he’s not in the same stratosphere as Jason Mamoa.

No. It isn’t fair. Kate Beckinsale gets all of the hot men. Seriously, her ex-list pretty much lines up with my fantasy list. WHY AM I NOT A SUPER HOT, FAMOUS, RICH WOMAN?????????

John Michael Higgins is in the movie for more than two seconds. I don’t know what you meant by that, but he has “literally” more than two seconds of screen time.

My impression was that Frick didn’t even know he was mocking her—he might have even thought he was being helpful (as when Americans repeat everything twice to the non-English speaking, with the second utterance even louder and more emphatic). Racism/ethnocentrism can be that casual and unwitting.

And yes, the movie…
