So does Rob Base.
This is totally a middle school joke. And as an old man it still made me laugh out loud. May your feud with Kowalski live forever!
No...definitely not. I think they spent about 87 minutes writing the entire script.
The home invasion genre can make for an excellent film. This was definitely not one of them. "The Purge" (original) and "Hush" are good examples of how to do the genre right.
Agreed. Haneke's spin doesn't even make any sense. He's telling us that he made a film that people should have walked out on? Or never seen in the first place? Why even bother to make the junk then?
Not a chance these days. Which is a shame because, let's face it, funny is funny.
Absolutely horrifying. Even scarier is that tribes like the Comanche did this kind of thing for real. If you ever want to read about real life horror shows check out Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne.
Hunter doing it for the instaclicks, bro!
Right?! So good.
"She was a PE teacher..."
I don't recall them mentioning a price tag, but I'm sure it was a lot. I'm pretty sure the Hispanic dude in the hat was doing his part under duress (they were holding his boyfriend captive) and the black dude was not in on it. They thought he would be on the bag scanning machine which is why they were stalking his family...so they could blackmail the black male.
It was a complex operation with lots of players. And the ones who were paying would've have likely made hundreds of millions or possibly billions from the defense contracts.
Rod Dreher has an interesting review that discusses the theology of the film. Worth a read if you have time.

Reading about it for the first time. Sounds great. Chris Carter said it was a big influence on the X-Files.
How could I forget "Police Squad"! So many good laughs. Glad the Naked Gun series was able to revive those characters.
Agreed. Although the terrible Italian accents in House of Gucci shoulder at least half the blame for that one.
His last quality film was The Last Duel (2021).
Is this for your book report?
The Usual Suspects

Cry, Cry Again
Where a man tries to buy back a loaf of his soul.
Not sure of the actress, but this comment is insightful.
"After watching it carefully each time I suspect the backlash is owed to the director who probably pushed the singer to do God knows how many takes 'this time with feeling,'" user Acrobatic-Cabinet874 commented. "I conclude the anger on her face is for whoever that person is as she does take [number whatever] and the kid almost takes her out for the umpteenth time."
Interesting. Is that why Buscemi took the smaller Buddy Holly waiter part?
