Herman Cain Mutiny or GTFO.
In 2012, this would have seemed batshit crazy. In 2017, it doesn't even move the needle.
Hell, it was dated in 1962. When I read it a few years ago, I found that aspect of it really charming, and that's why I hope the adaptation has a semi-cheesy 1950s sci-fi look to it.
"Whenever I start to turn my head and look at something, and the pain comes, I keep turning my head anyway, because I know I am going to see something I'm not supposed to see. Whenever I ask a question, and the pain comes, I know I have asked a really good question."
Never heard of 'em, but I'll take a look. Thanks!
Fall Out Boy. It's what we deserve.
They should just insert a badly-rendered CGI Vonnegut.
Works for me, as long as it's advertised as "The Sirens of Titan… In Technicolor!"
This is one of my favorite novels, so I'm wary. I also maintain that this will only work if the production has the look and feel of a 1950s sci-fi flick, complete with plywood spaceships and painted backdrops, and I hope to god it's b&w.
To each their own. I find the movie's Wendy useless and annoying (unlike her character in the novel, who was stronger than Jack and wise to his bullshit from the beginning), and I found Movie Danny just too weird to relate to (again, unlike the novel's Danny, who's a much more developed character).
The earth's population is approximately 7.3 billion. Statistically speaking, A Night at the Roxbury is most likely somebody's all-time favorite movie. On his/her behalf, thank you.
Are we including variations? If so, I vote for The Shawshank Redemption and James Whitmore's resigned "I guess i'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore" after he thinks about killing his boss in hopes that he'll be sent back to prison.
I love the look and feel of Kubrick's movie, but I prefer the novel because, in addition to being scary as hell, it also had characters you liked and cared about. The novel's Jack starts off as a flawed but decent guy who's trying desperately to keep his family together, and it's painful to see him slowly reduced to a…
A good point! I've said this on these boards before to deafening silence, but I wish it had been The Shining that Kubrick and Spielberg had collaborated on. Imagine Kubrick's movie as-is visually and tonally, and then sub in a family that you actually cared about (and holy shit, Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon and…
Seriously, I sat down expecting to be offended, or at the very least, disgusted, and I ended up just checking my watch a lot.
He did some of the driving during the big car chase.
Whoever directed it, this movie taught 12-year-old me the all-important rule of horror movies: Less Is More. Nothing ever freaked me out more than the chairs in the kitchen instantly rearranging themselves just offscreen and Zelda Rubinstein's monologue about "the light" and "the beast", and nothing scared me less…
I've somehow never seen TCSM or any of its sequels/remakes, but I did get around to The Devil's Rejects recently. Until I saw it, I wouldn't have believed that a movie made up almost entirely of graphic violence, endless sexual violations and general antisocial depravity could be that goddamned boring.
The same crafty motherfucker who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp.
