Teddy/Crawford keeps reminding me of Robert Walker from Strangers on a Train — good looking but pinched, in the old days possibly latent or otherwise sexually "hung up"
I associate the name "Peanut" with a much smaller-than-average child …. so this very large adult woman with all those pictures of her very very large baby was definitely a juxtaposition of expectations….
Marriages are built on trust — and Teddy essentially called Tawny a liar, an adulter, and worse — "you never wanted that baby" and then since that moment I'm not sure if he's allowed her to complete a sentence. He asked her if she had "feelings" for Daniel and she trusted him enough to answer honestly … because…
It's been 6 weeks … he's a grown man with a wife, a home and a career and ambitions … no the unsayable/unforgivable refers to unfounded accusations (projections) made by one partner about the other … he accused Tawny of terrible betrayal, and, no, I don't think she was or is guilty of that — I don't think she wanted…
His career was made by convicting Daniel originally … it's 30 years later and he's 30 years older and he's terrified that if Daniel's conviction is overturned and/or Daniel's "confession" is shown to have been coerced, he will lose the next election and he's not ready to retire just yet, in that kind of humiliating…
Jared raises a lot of questions in me about what Daniel was like back then and what his prospects were (and whether he considered himself a "good person" prior to Hanna's murder) — and, of course, what sort of parent Daniel's father was. Why was little Amantha so resolute in her conviction that Daniel was innocent…
Teddy will never understand that it wasn't Daniel's fault that Tawny was "dying of thirst" for a little appreciation when he arrived like a drink of clear water. I think Tawny gradually realized the degree to which she lived in anticipation of Teddy's next put-down, wise-crack or meltdown or cruel erasure of herself…
Due? His sniveling paranoid ultimatum rant at Tawney is not forgotten or forgiven … in which he revealed just how out-of-control both his imagination and his mouth were, saying the un-say-able, the unforgivable — because Daniel.
Produced by Depp, Depp's sister and someone who hasn't a production credit for a while … oh, and according to Wiki, Lionsgate said it was intended as the first of a franchise — ouch.
shhh, don't wake him.
Sadly … I think this was more likely a genuine labor of love, with the hope of creating a franchise — just one/first of a series of graphic novels which are supposed to be worth your while, if this sort of caper is your thing.
Apparently it definitely has moments — if you haven't frozen out of distaste or boredom. If you were looking forward to it, you just may be among those who feel their time was adequately compensated. If you re-watched Peter Sellers' various shaggy dog stories … I think you have a good chance of liking this …. enough…
Bettany is getting the best personal reviews as far as I can tell. Now I want him to be getting very good reviews in something I want to see. I understand why the sequels and franchises get picked up but … that's not what I watch.
I think it's bad news for her that she is so instantly recognizable as GP-2015 in the stills from this movie, which appears to be taking place somewhere-in time — likely whenever "What's New Pussycat?" (1965) was supposed to be taking place. The NYT said Paltrow affected a generally passable English accent (ouch). …
For those of us discussing Cora's laudenum problem for years, her transformation into this vivacious responsive woman (even her unmistakable visible annoyance at Robert) was eye-opening. Where has this woman been all these years? Will she be returning to her sleepy passive cocoon or is she a keeper?
Yes, IRL imho, even if everyone knew Marigold was her illegitimate daughter, Edith's gross over-attachment to Marigold would be concerning — A healthy child does not need or want that sort of suffocating "attention" much less to be constantly in-arms. That breathless "I can't take my eyes off you" enchantment gives…
Does anyone know if the Gracepoint writers/producersdirectors kept the final outcome a secret from the actors as they did they did at Broadchurch? My memory is that only the murderer learned of his guilt before the last script, with the second to last script (possibly third) —the rest of the cast surprised…
I think I'd rather see "Travels with Charlie" with a VW Camper and one guy (James Franco might work — not too pretty or genius) and his dog exploring "the real America." I loved Route 66 and George Maharis in particular — but even then it was an odd show since Maharis and Milner were such an (already pretty much…
