Oh there's some, sure. Just like there are the fake 10/10 reviews from studio plants. But enough to sink an otherwise good movie? No.
I don't know. It's true the mother disliked Marguerite, but I don't know what strategic outcome she would be hoping for if she actually plotted with Le Gris ahead of time to help facilitate the rape. What good would that do? I get that she took all the servants, but I think this was really just a bitch power play thing.
I don't think Le Gris ever planned to (in his mind) "rape" her or thought he was raping her. He thought it was fair play for her flirtations, and I don't think he would be too concerned about a servant or two being around, in another room who likely wouldn't do anything.
I'm trying to imagine some conversation between Le Gris and Marguerite's mother in law, how that would go, and I just can't see it being the case.
No, it's not BS. The magnitude and effect of this contingent is vastly overrated. It's a convenient boogeyman that some ladies like to trot out to explain why their project didn't succeed. Look you you, predicting this crap before the movie was even out. It's out, its not getting any attention (certainly not enough to warrant some mass review brigade by a few guys), and the reviews from critics who HAVE seen it indicate its not very good.
But keep blaming imaginary boogeymen.
It can if you have a good story and make a good movie. But when you go into a project with the primary goal being to make a point on "diversity and inclusion", the end result is often crap. And audiences pick up on that quickly.
Maybe Jessica can tackle an all lady Western next. 1994's "Bad Girls" proved how fertile that ground is.
Complaining about "review brigading" is mostly nonsense. Any movie has to deal with this. It evens out. If a movie is good, people will respond. When its crap and gets called on it, people try to defelct with "review brigading" complaints.
Have to run, late for my secret cave-man meeting where we all grunt and plot which female lead movies to rage about and and vote down on Rotten Tomatoes.
Not much comedy, I'd classify it as a "romance drama". I was distracted by Demi Moore's face and the work she's had done on it. She was so pretty when she was younger and had a rounder face. I don't think its just age that accounts for the difference. Now her face is chiseled and looks manufactured. But I guess that actually fits the character, the wife of a rich wall street type probably would look like one of the Bravo Real Houswives.
Nice story, though.
I think she's pretty sexy myself. Nice body.
Watched this movie for the first time tonight (the German blu-ray), and really liked it. Came here and found this fascinating thread, which I've just read through all three pages of.
I wonder if one possible explanation that would square Peter Coyote saying the scene was never filmed with those who say they clearly remember seeing it is that Polanski with clever editing filmed a scene with other actors. If the scene is supposedly showing Peter Coyote from behind his head and Mimi (Emmanuelle Seigner) walks in front on him and pees on the TV, I wonder were there faces in frame? Could Polanski have shot this with doubles, and spliced it in?
Just a thought.
Alive Eve was great in this, she totally stole the show in an otherwise disappointing movie. I like the premise, but it just never takes off.
From her first introduction though, If found her hilarious. I really liked her "white...bubble...white...bubble...white...bubble" meditation she was trying to do to calm herself after the fender bender. That's so L.A.!
She looked great tiptoeing around in her little tight dresses. And when she was drugged at the party, but not yet passed out, she was pretty funny.
Absolutely. It's a total b.s. concept. Nobody owns culture.
And great dialog.
Richard to the Reverand Foster "Reverend, why I never knew you had such a beautiful luscious looking daughter!" - LOL!
It was a good set up, though the ending (particularly the slo-mo) just screamed "Sam Pekinpah" to me.
Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your tits!
It's nonsense. And it's a shame, because one of the greatest characters in the D&D world is Drizzt Do'Urden created by R. A. Salvatore. But he's a drow, aka "dark elf", so until people get over this idiotic Orcs are racist nonsense, we'll certainly never get Dark Elves in a D&D movie.
She was my favorite thing about Halloween 4, which I found pretty dull, until the final scene. I loved how when her dad, and Loomis and the other cops all show up at the house, she still just keeps walking around in the t-shirt with no pants!
Having just watchd H4 and H5 tonight for the first time, I didn't hate Tina, and would have liked to see more of her. She certainly looked cute in her shorts over the fishnet bodysuit ensemble. Too bad they couldn't have worked in a good nude/sex scene with her.
That was disappointing. What little we glimpsed looked glorious.
They could do movie versions of the Dragonlance story, or the Icewind Dale or Baldur's Gate stories, which were successful games. There are a number of excellent novels set in the various D&D universes that could serve as the basis for a movie or series. I don't see how dice rolls, armor class or a dungeon master is needed. Those are part of OUR world, so unless this going to be some kind of Tron like thing, that's not needed.
