i really should start checking if the film has nudity before i start watching it in the library and i look up from writing notes to see tim robbins with his dick out
the very definition of meta is characters in a film talking about a six-minute tracking shot during an eight-minute tracking shot
trying to come up with something to say about this but can only think about how much young lyle lovett looks like my friend jeff
I’ve seen this so many times but only now noticed that Tim Robbins orders a different brand of bottled water in almost every scene and never drinks any of it.
love this movie more every time I rewatch - this time w commentary track and the cut scenes !! he cut baby Plimpton from the film! Did you know that? I didn’t. Hollywood is a place where things like that can just happen….
Movies, Now More Than Ever!
This honestly might be my favorite fictional slogan. If I were to rename my podcast, it would probably be that.
Altman hates Hollywood and that’s never been clearer. He weaves this story together so well and makes you despise but root for your protagonist. And Tim Robbins plays the character perfectly. I would put this ahead of Shawshank as my favorite performance of his.
The cameos add a while additional layer to this film. They’re quite fun to spot but they serve a purpose, in giving you a sense of glamor that Tim Robbins is leading. (My absolute favorite is Buck Henry pitching The Graduate 2!)
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Never has a happy ending been so…
best part of that opening long shot has gotta be seeing Richard E. Grant's name come up in those credits, baby!!!
