Killers Of The Flower Moon: A+. Loved every minute. Robbie Robertson’s score was incredible, Lily Gladstone is incredible and this is a story every American should know about. Reading the book first would be beneficial because the movie glosses over a couple of important facts. Not a slight, it would take an 18-hour mini-series to do the truth some Justice

Funny. My neighbor just recommended this to me yesterday.
 
Killers of the Flower Moon is super high on my list. But I will wait until streaming. The run time is just a bit too long for me for a theater. Oppenheimer was right at 3 hours and that was pushing it. I've heard Lily Gladstone is great in it though. And for what screen time she had in Reservation Dogs, she was good in that too. Actually hope to see a lot of the Reservation Dogs cast in more stuff in the future. Lots of great performances.

I loved the book and recommend it as much as I can to fiends and family. The movie is a bit different in that it focuses less on the fbi and more on Earnest and Mollie Burkhardt and William Hale.

the acting, the score is off the chart to me.

Cool!

I must admit after having read the book I walked into he theater with high expectations especially with Scorsese. And..he outdid himself. Best De Niro role to me since Casino and if Gladstone doesn’t win best actress I’ll be very disappointed but beyond that…I think the final 5-10’minites was dynamite.

I saw it on the Sunday of the opening weekend. For the first time in my experience going to movies I was shocked at just how polite and quiet the audience was. I didn’t see one person get on their phone, there wasn’t even talking in the audience it was pin-drop silence. I think many people were shocked at what they saw, in disbelief it was true maybe? I Donny know but everyone was riveted.

it was a sobering 3+ hours.
 
I’m gonna see it this week. During the week- I’ve heard some theaters have issues with swifties screaming and the noise bleeding thru walls on weekends when the eras movie is playing- which is weekends only

Interesting, outside of a couple of kids dancing, there was little disturbance when we saw Eras.

I imagine we were extremely fortunate.

Flowers of the moon sounds like a quieter movie. I think some theaters are really turning up thr volume for eras and encouraging concert like screaming atmosphere- which is fine as long as the other movies don’t need to hear it
 
Life imitating art. Exactly.

Remember the opening scene of The Descent?

A group of young women celebrating the end of school have had a lucky escape after a tree branch pierced through the windscreen of their car on K'gari (Fraser Island), off the Queensland coast.

The girls were driving along a sandy track when the tree branch smashed the windscreen and speared through the passenger seat headrest.

The Holdovers. Excellent acting, mawkish story. D for the plot, C for the directing, B for the dialog, but A for Giamatti, Randolph, and especially Sessa.
 
Nothing ever changes.

My money's on bottom right. That woman gets what she wants.

From that expression and demeanor she's likely more mature than any contemporary 30-year old.

16 was fine in the 1940s. 22 will be verboten in 2040s.

Hemlines change. People are a constant.

Disney will supposedly lose $750M over 13 films this year.

Good.

Are their air quotes around lose?


Also, maybe, just maybe, had Disney not fired their creative talent after the pandemic in a cost savings binge they would have had the people in place to protect those films.

Also they could have paid the writers their fair share from the start but where's the profit in that?
