What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Deliverance

"Don't you think he has a pretty mouth?"

Man, I just love this movie. The banjo playing inbred kid is by far the spookiest aspect of the film. And I do love a sad, suffering Jon V. Plus, Burt Reynolds and his crossbow of masculinity. Too funny.

What always struck me as funny was the old lanky man with the hat that dances to the 'Dueling Banjoes' at the beginning. What a freak!


This movie branded the south (and Ned Beatty) forever. (!!!)

It certainly did. God, poor Ned Beatty. What a brave role for him to do at that time, I think. And really hard to watch. I kept thinking, "This...this isn't happening. What...what's going? He's not..Oh, he is. God. Well, this is certainly taking a...oh...Ned...Ned, poor Ned."

I think it was on The Daily Show that Burt Reynolds said the actor, that was raping Ned Beatty's character, told the cating director that he had no problem with the scene. The actor said he had done things that people nowdays would consider much worse than that.

Wait. Wait. Was he an actor who was confessing to having done worse things in other movies?

Or an actual hick who was admitting to a casting director that he'd done worse things in real life.

Oh...PLEASE tell me it isn't the second option. God.

It is the second option.
Seemingly against someone's will.

The time I tried to watch this movie, it was this scene that turned my stomach. Man/woman, man/man, it doesn't matter. It is violent. I could never get how people could make cracks about 'squealing like a pig'.

Anywho...

Claire, I thought of you when I was watching the last movie the Hubster rented. 'Coronado'. Has anyone seen this? Well, the main character is named Claire. It is a cute movie.

I also enjoyed 'Garden State'. 'The Village' I enjoyed but it messed with me. Some of the characters I thought were not done well.

'Forgotten' was fun because we had only seen the previews and not heard anything else about it. We kept guessing what was going to happen. That was fun. I guess that also means it didn't keep us enough involved that we were talking...

If I can watch it before he takes it back, 'Cellular' {any good?} and 'Catwoman'.
