LOL. That is nuts!
Thanks for replying. Happy to report I’m alive and was still curious. Cheers.
I rarely post, but I felt I had to chime in to this thread.
I *really* enjoyed this movie, but was absolutely distracted by Helen Hunt’s face. I kept thinking it looked like the guy from the beginning of Alien Prometheus or Odo from Star Trek.
I feel bad for her that she felt she needed to have a facelift (or whatever it is she did). Hopefully this was RIGHT after surgery and her lift/injections have settled because she always seemed like a beautiful woman who would have aged beautifully.
Aside from her face I really enjoyed the film!
Totally not normal behaviour that’s for sure. I was 26 or 27 and she was in her late 40’s or maybe her 50’s.
Thanks for sharing your story!
When I was in my mid-20’s I befriended a lonely older woman at my office. The friendship started innocently enough. Going for coffee during breaks, chatting about the corporation etc. She ratcheted up the crazy really quickly. Calling me from her office with her number blocked (we had multiple buildings with many floors across the city, so it wasn’t uncommon for numbers to show up as blocked.)
“I just called you 2 minutes ago and you didn’t answer, when I blocked my number you immediately picked up. Why?”
I’m not very good at confrontation so I just said I had stepped away from my desk.
“No you didn’t. Now you’re lying to me. Stand up. Right now.”
At the company I worked for our cell phones were tied to our desk phones so the same number would show up for either. When I stood up she was standing at the entryway to my floor glaring at my desk.
Luckily, I transferred to another part of the city and simply refused to answer my phone if the number was blocked and set up a rule to mark her emails as read before I saw my inbox and to forward them to my boss. He was very supportive through the whole thing. About a year later she retired.
Everything was fine... Then she found my website (I do contract work on the side) which has my toll-free number, all of my social media and my email address. She flooded all of my inboxes, DMs and voicemails. I had to block her on every service.
Luckily I live in a high-rise with security, face-recognition cameras and a doorman who makes you sign in with the concierge. You can’t even push a button in the elevator, the concierge sends you to the floor of the apartment once you have approved someone to come up. The stairwells are locked too, so I feel 100% safe and luckily have never needed this level of security, but it’s a comfort knowing it’s there.
Perhaps this is why I overlooked some of what I considered the minor problems with the movie Greta. I just saw a nice person being nice and how that can go so bad so fast.
I couldn’t agree more. This was the first film I’ve seen Kitsch in, so maybe that has something to do with it. However I thought he really committed to the character and it didn’t seem over-the-top to me. Now I was very very young when Waco originally happened so maybe I’m missing nuances, but I thought he was great.
I just stumbled across this on the net and wow I was shocked. The accuracy of the narrative told from both sides really impressed me. This feels like a long (but not boringly long) feature film. I was engrossed from beginning to end. (Also My Sharona is now a creepy spine chilling song instead of an 80’s fun dance tune for me too)
I could not agree more! Taylor’s performance was one of the best, most committed and well-researched I’ve seen in a LONG time.
Michael Shannon was genius as always too.
However the commitment Taylor showed, to be as true to character as possible (the accent, the weight loss etc.) was near Christian Bale’s level of seriousness from The Machinist.
