During the pandemic, my husband and I started watching movie anthologies of various themes. One of them was of Director John Carpenter. To this day, of all the anthologies we’ve watched, that one is still my absolute favorite. His movies are so much fun, influential, and evolve in very interesting ways over time. If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend enough to watch his other movies. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Yes, I’ve seen a lot of them and this is one of my faves. I stumbled on it about 30 years ago being played late at night on BBC2. The premise is terrifying. That scene where the little girl is murdered is brutal. Carpenter’s score on this is fantastic too
Nobody here has mentioned that “no eye contact” is really common in Hollywood. To the point that various celebrities including Conan O’Brien had that rule for their staff but was totally unaware and as soon as they found out, they put a stop to it immediately.
I’m not saying Tom Cruise didn’t know but it’s definitely a possibility.
I wouldn’t be surprised, especially for A-listers, especially on-set. Eye-contact promotes conversations which, even when they are more stimulating than “Oh wow! You’re _____!! I loved you in that thing”, eat up time in a very busy production schedule. It’s even worse if the star is genuinely nice and personable, and sincerely appreciates their fans. It adds up to hours gone every day in 3-6 minute increments.
It still could be someone on his team telling people that and he is totally unaware. Idk why I’m trying to defend Tom Cruise I’m just not convinced this is what makes him a bad person
@CaptnNMorgan yeah I'm happy to be agnostic on it. Ironically though, him acting unaware of his cult's behaviour probably is a big part of what makes him a bad person.
I just liked this article because I thought Jill Goldston's life sounds super interesting.
Nice! Can’t wait for it to come out. Hopefully it won’t be like IT part 2, I was really excited after the first one (it was a damn good adaptation) and then the abomination that part 2 is happened.
Seeing as the article doesn’t really say much about the movie itself, just the logitistics and financials of making it:
with Cage reprising his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov, and Skarsgard on board to play his son. In Lords of War, Orlov discovers he has a son, Anton, who is trying to top his father’s wrongs rather than stop them as he launches a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts.
A US sting operation in cooperation with Thailand and Interpol caught him in 2008. He was eventually extradited and convicted in the US. In 2022 he was traded back to Russia in exchange for Brittney Griner.
Yes cause new ideas are risky and scary to the executives. Oh no, a new concept might not rake in buckets of nostalgia money. Can’t risk people not liking something new, let’s regurgitate every possible franchise and property in the pursuit of unending growth of the box office revenue.
I took a trip back to the 80s and watched Dune (1984) on laserdisc. People love to hate on it, but I much rather watch this version of it than the new ones.
Other stars who met with Jill’s approval included ex-Bond Timothy Dalton: “He didn’t get on with his co-star Joanne Whalley, so I had to do the love scenes with him. I used to pray, ‘Please, God, don’t let my hands sweat when he holds them!’” And Michael Caine: “He put his jacket over my head to stop me getting wet in the rain. A true gentleman.” She liked Warren Beatty too, though she says he somehow found the time to proposition her for a three-way with him and Jack Nicholson while producing, directing and also starring in the 1981 film Reds. “It might have ended more than friends. But not with Jack Nicholson as well! I said: ‘Sorry, no. I’m happily married!’”
