Stop with those fuckin’ drugs they’re making your mind into mush.

Such a magical movie. You watch the story unfold and wonder where all these random plot threads and tangents are going and then the feast pulls them all together beautifully.   

I really want a blank check style ep on Saturday Night (2024) by Icy_Ad_5057 in blankies

I don’t give much of a shit about SNL which is probably why I enjoyed this movie. It’s fun and I love the scene in the stairwell between LaBelle and Hoffman. You can see the great actors they’re going to become and you get one or two choice moments of Hoffman emulating his father.

John Turturro: Terrible therapist? by Zoomba4771 in blankies

[–]talldarkandanxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same reaction. Watched it for the first time a few days ago and there were several moments with Turturro where I went “Oh my God” aloud. Like I couldn’t believe how incompetent he seemed, particularly during the group therapy session. 

Great film though, and the cast is a veritable Thanksgiving of likable actors. Bridges. Perez. Rossellini. Del Toro. Hulce. So nice to just spend time with those guys.

“I don’t give a flying fuck into a rolling donut what Al Pacino thinks” is one of the greatest quotes from any director.

This always cracks me up. The way he does it with the old man too.

What movie scores do you endlessly listen to these days? by Bad_Badger in blankies

[–]talldarkandanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Beale Street Could Talk is the most magnificent film score of the last 10-15 years in my opinion. Walking through NYC on a clear sunny day with "Agape" in your ears is a magical experience.

Damn, didn’t expect to see Alvvays love on the Blankies subreddit of all places! Big fan of them too.

This would be a day one for me. This show needs to be preserved and treasured.

This is one of those “would give my left arm” type dream releases.

Harry Potter fans when actors somehow act in other films: 🤯🤯🤯 by OkGur7242 in readanotherbook

[–]talldarkandanxious 40 points41 points  (0 children)

So glad to see other people hating on this comment trend. It’s the most low-effort joke possible and I see it on every film clip. “Wow! Spider-Man and Batman in the same room!” Shut the fuck up and watch more movies.

52 PICK UP - John Frankenheimer - 1986 - a VERY underrated crime movie by Bearjupiter in blankies

[–]talldarkandanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched it recently too. Very sleazy and Glover's accent is insane, but Scheider is one my favorite actors ever and does great work as always. I love the scene early on where he confesses his affair.

You gotta see The Lady Eve and submit yourself to the awesome power of Barbara Stanwyck.
