Absolutely terrifying story, so real.

If a creep, like the character played by Robert Walker, sat down next to me in a train, I would move to the next compartment.

So different, beautiful and brutal. Love the spunky, cool old woman. Poor little foxes in cages battered by the psycho. Kept my interest riveted from get go.

Don’t let the beautiful dresses fool you: this movie is a classic spaghetti western through and through. Only difference is the setting is Australia bush instead of The Monuments Valley and the hero uses a sewing machine instead of a pair of Colt Navy pistols.

Can’t believe just caught this. A Guillermo del Toro production says it all.

Couldn’t agree more @NoelCoyotebleu! :) Just jumping in for second go round myself. Saw this on TV ages ago. Duvall in his prime. One of best westerns ever. Based on best selling, Pulitzer Prize winning author, Larry McMurty’s novel.

Why were those finale captions (that ones that sum up what happens to each character,) in German? Doesn’t make sense. Oh well, great watch anyway.

Horrible what Russians did, and blamed it on the Germans for years. The movie starts out with a bang, will never forget the scene on the bridge, and what happened in the woods, as depicted, I cannot ever unsee. My father was a freedom fighter next door, in Budapest, and had to escape because the secret police were honing in on him to cut him down.

If you like Chekhov, you will love this.

Streep, Wiest, Bergen, what a treat. Crossed the Atlantic on a ship once, not quite the Queen Elizabeth, more like a freighter, but watching this makes me want to sail across again.

OMG nobody can be happy on this show for more than 5 seconds. I love it! Can’t get enough and can’t wait for season 3!

Didn’t realize season 2 links had been put up, so psyched. Some fun to binge on.

One of my favorite Davis films.

This lady is a piece of Garbage. She assumes everything right out of the gate without all the facts. Shes just another media whore who does more harm then good.

This is so dynamic, just loved it, so true, so powerful and speaks truth not only to what is going on in Russia, but to all types of corrupt power, going on everywhere in the world today.

Maybe because they protect pedophiles on a mass scale never seen before?

I didnt like it.

We’ve known for years that Stalin taught Hitler all the tricks of mass terror and concentration camps, and that the Soviets slaughtered millions more humans in the Gulag camps than Hitler could ever dream of.

Terrifying. The Communists were worse than the Nazis. Another face of the holocaust. My roots. Then the horrors of today’s sex slave trade. Our collective roots.

And it is also a true rendering of what it looks like to be manic, as in bi-polar.

Haha use Google shes notorious for making assumptions and being wrong. She condems people by the media and ruins lives.

This is fantastic. The story, all the characters are super, and over the top entertainment. Charlie Shotwell is a child actor going far, so is McKenna Grace. Viola Davis as the nanny rocked,so did Jim Gaffigan as a shuffling trailer trash attorney, often in his baggy underwear with his little dog under one arm and files in the other hand. Can’t leave out Alison Janney who playes the prudish school marm in rural Georgia in the 70’s to a T. lol

Re #1: Television’s most respected legal analyst, Nancy Grace…Wow, lmfao, now I truly have heard everything! Re #2: involving wrongful accusations….Must be a show about herself! This one, for me, will be getting one giant pass….She should have stayed gone/invisible/off air, imho…..She lies and fabricates just about as well as Trump.

Really, really good.

hy didn wanta watch it till i saw u coment an i agrea was gud…thanx.

Incredible! Only 25 minutes in, but got me so worked up, had to comment.lol Were it only a Halloween ruse. There is stuff interspersed as the credits roll fyi

Saw this years ago and it was even better the second time around. A strange amalgam of violence, tenderness, and comedy. Love the “I am her protector”/ex cop, leading man: Yoon-Seok Kim.

Pedophilia is NOT “romance”. Yuk

Love hearing Nancy any time. Speaker Pelosi has a strong moral center, is a noble statesman, and a fantastic role model for girls and women of all races and creeds. [I just rave over her artistic masks and style in clothes!]:)

Shakespeare of Avon was a pseudonym for the Earl of Oxford. That Man from Avon was illiterate. lol

what is her name DF? don’t think i’ve heard this news story, wouldn’t mind googling it myself..would appreciate it?

I’ve watched the entire thing and the comment was spot on. Take your boot-licking elsewhere.

I wanted to see what happened at the end but it cuts off.

The film is a cult classic for a reason. It’s like Night of the Living Dead, in that it was made on a small budget with very basic equipment in one location. It’s bare-bones filmmaking at its best: Sam Raimi and a small cohort of friends (like Bruce Campbell, a personal friend of Raimi’s since high school). It’s maybe less obvious today when anyone can make a “movie” on their iPhone, but making a decent low-budget film outside the studio system in 1983 took some real guts and commitment to the craft for an aspiring young filmmaker like Raimi.
It’s also very famous due to the timing. The film received an X rating, which would have been a cinematic death sentence for a purely theatrical release, but thanks to the explosion in popularity of videotapes in the 80’s, the film spawned a huge following outside of the traditional cinema. It got a lot of attention for being so unabashedly gory and was banned in Britain as a “video nasty,” in addition to being censored in several other countries.
What might seem tame or cliche now was incredibly risky and even groundbreaking, thanks to Sam Raimi’s commitment to make a full-on gory horror flick with no f*cks given about the studio or ratings systems.
I think if one just watches this (or indeed, most older films) in a vacuum without the historical context, it is easy to get stuck on how “primitive” or “slow” a lot of them are. The value as art lies not in how it stacks up to our modern concept of film making, but in how films like this broke new ground to create a space for the other films to follow. But then again, we live in a time where everything is being remade or rebooted to fit our current sensibilities/attention spans, so it is rather difficult to maintain any sense of historical context for the value of these early innovations. A film like “Halloween” can be remade twice but the new versions will never match the ingenuity and simple charms of the original.

Loved this, and Viggo Mortensen. Wanted more.

That last shot took the cake. Had to get out some hankies. Finally got to watch this during shutdown, and no wonder I used to see articles about it all over the place. Hope the prequel is just as solid.

One of the best glimpses into world of Andy Warhol I’ve seen. Entertaining and Informative.

It is all about atmosphere in this one, really creepy, that makes it worth a watch.

Character assault is the lowest form of debate.

What malignant narcissists do. Excellent dramatization of the tactic.

Has that edgy new wave cinema ambiance to it. So if you like that poignant, existential style, you’ll love this too.

Didn’t realize season 2 links had been put up, so psyched. Some fun to binge on.
