I knew there was something about her I liked.
Never a fan of acronyms people assume everyone understands.
So how did he end up in a thread "I was never a fan of ..."?
(Just so you know, I like the Nez a whole lot.)
Then you must be a politician.
They feature a lot of Robert Horton for the first few years, and apparently he and Ward Bond didn't get along at all.
Horton and Fuller are pretty similar but I can see how someone might like Fuller more.
I liked him on Laramie a lot, (an easy-going wise guy when he didn't have to use his fists), then when I saw he was a doctor on Emergency, I was impressed he had a bigger career than I might have thought at first.
I'm sure there are ways to frame it as doing what it sets out to, but it just isn't very interesting to watch, for me.
I don't think I'm some action craving dummy, and I'm glad for whoever enjoys the show. Just wanted to mention how surprised I have been after seeing a few episodes that this was the formula they followed.
But there was one episode with June Lockhart as the mother of a half-breed baby who gets pressure to leave the child with a nearby Indian reservation, and it was extremely touching how she argued to keep her child against a lot of push back. Almost makes me tear up just thinking about it.
Sorry to see that about your rating. I'll admit some movies catch my interest at the time and they may not be that great in retrospect. A bit of cheap drama and faux sentiment gets to me sometimes, mix in some comedy and pull the heart strings. Doesn't mean it's great cinema, but for that window of time it hits the mark.
Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin? What's not to like?
The suicide scene is at the very beginning, where the protagonist gets the idea to go into the cleaning business.
Indeed. The double live album It's Too Late To Stop Now came out in 1974 with Van and his band at the time.
Considered one of the best live albums, according to the wiki entry, and I think that's accurate.
If you have a mind to and you aren't familiar, I've had the old double album live "Too Late To Stop Now" for years and years.
He does this song as well as Gloria, and it's a great document of Van when he was right around his prime.
It's raining so don't turn around you stupid fuck.
No one has mentioned Harold and Maude. This is a well-known movie so not a hot tip, but in a way it does deal with a fixation on suicide even if it seems to be for effect rather than actually going through with it.
Probably dated to today's viewers but a charming film if watched with the proper attitude.
Sunshine Cleaning has a pivotal scene with a suicide but it's not really about suicide. I like the movie, tho.
I don't doubt it. The subject just rang that bell for me. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking it was probably a maudlin tearjerker, but the idea seemed sort of touching. Never planned on watching it.
Ordinary People certainly fits the OP subject.
I've never seen Dear Evan Hansen but once I was told the title, now I see it is about a young person's suicide.
By now I suppose someone else has mentioned it, but earlier I didn't see it.
That's exactly right ! I knew it would be simple. I tried to come up with some phrases to trigger a proper search and nothing worked. The thread concerning movies about suicide started me thinking about this film but I could not figure out a way to figure it out. Now I feel I should write it down somewhere so it'll get lodged in my head, and I'll have to read up on it.
Thanks a lot. Seems like one of those things that should be easy to recall, but I was lost.
I had forgotten about it until I saw the name/handle and it all started coming back.
Pretty sure I put this person on ignore soon after running into he/she. The name is familiar.
Now that I think about it, this person out-of-nowhere said they had had it with my snarkiness and was very unexpectedly mean about it, so I ironically replied "Well that was pleasant," and this person comes unglued. I told myself to steer clear of this odd poster. Next thing I know I'm getting a reply from this person on some other thread, and I thought if you don't like me, don't follow me. Not like this was talking crap politics, just neutral General Discussions, and I'm getting this aggression.
Nothing wrong with hitting Ignore; it's your friend.
Wouldn't you think a movie that touches on suicide would be melancholic?
I saw Virgin Suicides randomly on TV but I found it compelling. For me, the story was maybe a little too odd and mysterious for me to be emotionally rattled by the penultimate event. Maybe like Donnie Darko or a David Lynch film, I was more aware of watching something fascinating but somewhat artificial. I'd see it again given the chance.
