Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?
Fav Western....McCabe & Mrs. Miller ... A look at what that era was likely more to have been....gritty, dark, dank, full of men mostly hanging on by knotted bootstraps with the occasional near-psychotic gunslinger with nothing and no one to stop him.... You want to go back to that time and places? |
I thought that I had mentioned Fatman (2020) in this thread, but I cannot find it, so just in case I’ll mention it again because Walton Goggins is supposed to be hosting SNL tonight and that made me think of it. Anyway, it is a very dark comedy starring Goggins and Mel Gibson. It’s hard to do justice to in a paragraph, but it involves Santa and his elves taking on a government military contract and also a child who had received a lump of coal and then hires a hitman to bump off Santa Clause. As I remember, it had me in stiches, and although I didn’t like the series The Shield, I generally enjoy Goggins’ performances. @nonoise ,
that makes me think of Winter’s Bone (2010), which I have previously mentioned and was about the effect of methamphetamine addiction and production on a poverty-stricken group of people in the Ozarks. With Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes and Dale Dickey (among others) for a cast, I got a gritty and dirty and real vibe. Given you enjoyed Blast Furnace, I think you would also find this to your liking. |
