David O Russell is a legitimately terrible director. So that’s unlikely to be a good opportunity for Bale. Whisper it but perhaps his reputation lies with his ability to lose weight or become supremely muscled, as needed.
For such a prestigious actor he doesn’t have a massive roster of great performances. Ford v Ferrari was a decent film but I don’t remember him being that good. And that was a while ago
That is some ambition given they were releasing them almost weekly at points!
There’s now just too much Yellowstone for me to even start!
I love Michelle Williams in this. She’s always good but this is one of her best performances. 5 star film.

Guessing you thought better of it.
2 and a half stars. I’ll not bother!
If it gets more than 3 stars from you, I’ll try it!
I looked up The Jesus Rolls and it is fair to say it doesn’t have a lot of fans!. I actually thought it was a film that has been considered but never completed so it’s interesting that it was filmed back in 2019.
Sometimes I see a picture from the 90 where I am at a pub table with old friends and on the table is an ashtray full of fag end. I both feel both nostalgia and revulsion (but mostly nostalgia because a night in a pub then was so much better than it is now cos I was young and careless of the future)
Haha. Get the flip chart ready for a boutique blu ray overview
(I still find myself referring to dvds as default)
She’s not getting Criterion Collection blu rays in her Christmas stocking?
There are faults with the film, moments that are somewhat trite or undisciplined. But I was so taken by the way the film led us to that incredible conversation between the sisters, that I loved it just because it made me feel so deeply. How often does that happen in the cinema?!

Sounds good! Might even watch it.
Looks like fun.
Kind of a top quality B movie with some of the best actors of the 70s. Gene Hackman eating guts, some ripe dialogue and some top class action scenes. All set in a diabolical world of cynical abuse. America was always a sinful hell.
Tonight’s film.
The cat perked up at Angel Tompkins
But he was clearly impressed by the engineering behind the combine harvester, on the basis of the last scene I watched. 👌
Director obviously hated Kansas
He plays really well against Marvin. Great casting.
Pure brutal 70s cynicism. 1972 and the sixties are a long way away.
Tonight’s film.

Time’s been unkind to The White Stripes
Haha. You’re already deeper into the Swiftian world than I’ve ever been!
😂😂
Godspeed. Looking forward to you trying to get tickets for her next tour. 😂
I think Mackenzie Crook presents the world as he wants it to be, rather than as it is. Or maybe, rather, as it is at its best and not at its worst. I felt better for having watched it. I understand your opinion though.
Better not to bother with ‘the discourse’. Things are just good or not good. Mackenzie Crook is a wonderful writer and that’s it.
