MEN'S RED CARPET FASHION OF 2024 🌈

[buffyfan145]

Awesome news seeing there's a biopic in the works about Bruce Springsteen coming from Scott Cooper and A24 and Jeremy Allen White is in talks to star as The Boss!!! 😀 It'll depend on Jeremy's show "The Bear" and if they'll be finished filming by the planned fall filming for this movie. The movie focuses on the recording of Bruce's solo "Nebraska" album that happened at the same time during the recording of Bruce & the E Street Band's "Born in the USA" album in 1982. That album has one of my favorite songs of his "Atlantic City" on it. I'm a fan of both Bruce and Jeremy's so this is going to be great to watch if it all works out. Curious who else they'll cast.

The Pale Blue Eye (2022) dir. Scott Cooper

[sloshed-cinema]

The Pale Blue Eye (2022)

I’m a real sucker for a detective story with a supernatural twist to it.  From the original Hound of the Baskervilles to the cult elements of the original RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie to Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn and Chee novels, inflecting a grounded investigation with strange elements makes for a strange and enticing brew.  Sadly, such a combination is always a difficult tightrope to walk.  But I’m a glutton for punishment and keep coming back for more.  This period mystery weaves a web of intrigue around strange happenings at West Point.  Shocking killings with seemingly ritualistic elements haunt the academy, cadets picked off one by one.  Who better than a disillusioned alcoholic and Edgar Allen Poe to solve the mystery?  It’s a strange and gruesome breadcrumb trail to follow, but the gents are hot on the case.  Turns out it’s Satanists and rituals all the way down.  It’s atmospheric and fun enough, but nothing too world-changing.  What does baffle the mind is the twist ending.  It’s an elaborate double game all the way, Dr Marquis trying to obscure and confound the investigation through deliberate omissions in his report while Landor is a little bit too knowing about details and connections in the case in hindsight.  It’s almost a marriage of convenience, revenge colliding with Satanic ritual performed in the name of saving a sickly woman.  The movie seems self-satisfied with how things fit together, but by the time Landor’s duplicity is revealed it just feels like the movie is overstaying its welcome and offering an additional ending nobody asked for.  

There are some truly remarkable performances in this film, if in the broadest sense.  Harry Melling’s wide-eyed Poe returns the actor to the ground he trod in The Devil All the Time with his country-fried accent, and Gillian Anderson is delightful in full Tennessee Williams southern belle mode.  She seems to truly grasp the ludicrousness of the plot and leans into it.  Seeing her at a black magic ritual, goading her children on from the sidelines, is something to see.  Toby Jones is flighty and weasly as he does so well, and Timothy Spall pops in every now and again to just Spall it up.  It’s fun enough, but nothing to linger in the memory.  In fact, I felt like I was actively forgetting the movie even as it passed before my eyes.  An unwieldy mess made from a promising heart.  To quote Dana Scully, “Sure, fine, whatever.”

"The Pale Blue Eye" (2022) Directed by Scott Cooper (Crime/Horror/Mystery)

[framerate24]

REview: The Pale Blue Eye (2022) | Needlessly Dour

Scott Cooper is a director who tends to take on fairly heavy subjects in movies like Into The Furnace (2013), Hostiles (2017), Antlers (2021) and most recently The Pale Blue Eye (2022). And having only the latter two movies; it there’s anything to be taken away from the experience is that Scott Cooper makes serious movies. Which I’m okay with. What I’m not is how serious it feels the director…

The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Movie Review

The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Movie Review

The Pale Blue Eye, Scott Cooper’s latest, sees a homicide detective (Christian Bale) teaming up with a young Edgar Allen Poe (Harry Melling) to solve a series of murders at West Point in 1830. Based on a novel by Louis Bayard, the film is something of a fictionalized origin story for Poe’s writing career while also serving as a gothic murder mystery in its own right. Bayard’s Poe believes…

WHO'D YOU RATHER?: 100 MALE ACTORS EDITION

A game I often spring on friends who are as obsessed with pop culture as I am is Who'd You Rather?. The terms are loose and we usually do it as a progression (so your last choice is often pitted against a new one). It's light fun but my diabolical goal is usually to torture someone with a choice of nearly equal weight (like I did to myself with the first two selections).
