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 wink).

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?

@immathewj I think he would be good as a lawyer. He excelled in those roles. For Karen Read: Robin Wright, Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba, maybe Amanda Peet.

The actress has to have a wacky image. Also an evil smile. It's a tricky role, scary and vulnerable at the same time.

Is the movie being cast already?

it's not a bad suggestion. I also thought of Cobie Smulders. But I'd probably go with Amanda Peet.

Probably only in my mind, @gano 

I agree with you that Matt Damon plays a good warm and fuzzy lawyer, and I did think of him in that role, but definitely not for the Hank Brennan role.  Damon's past performances as a lawyer also strike me as a bit too warm and fuzzy for Alan Jackson, but I also think that he is a skilled enough actor to pull off whatever they hand him.  Maybe Michael Keaton for Hank Brennan?  For some reason, Karen Read made me think of Amy Ryan.

@immatthewj I like Amy Ryan - otherwise. First I was a hard no for this role for her. I almost pulled my sponsors and my 2 million I put aside because of this. I wasn't screaming but definitely raised my voice and the director asked for a 10 minutes break. On a second thought, Amy would be good, but she wasn't my idea. So, still a "no".

On Michael Keaton, semi-seriously, he is brilliant in everything. I don't know how he pulled off Dopesick. It is amazing.

Overall, we need to get good actors and actresses, not famous ones. Damon, Keaton are out.
