A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
To Whom It May Concern,
In re: Flesh + Blood
grit = one thing
sleaze = quite another
In this film,
Empowerment = fucking your rapist
Edge = Jennifer Jason Leigh bottomless
(carry the a LOT)
Score = florid
Costumes = lamé
+
Rutger = pretty and lithe
Cast = "Hey…it's_____(fill in the quirky 1985 character actor)
(divided by ALL of them)
+
WTF…Bruno Kirby in tights?
In summation,
Flesh + Blood ≠ grit

Word.
I figured she must have been a del Toro relative, or blackmailer, or sumthin'.
I put Say Anything DVD on the background while doing work I brought home (yeah, baaad idea), and ended up watching it all over again.
Oh my God. The scene where Diane comes to visit Lloyd in the gym after she has it out with her father? Kills me. Kills me dead. They look so battered (Lloyd literally battered and bleeding from the nose) and desperate, and there is such mixture of grief and hope and need in their tired eyes. I love how he puts up a resistance when she approaches him first--then, "One question. Do you need someone, or do you need me?" only to answer himself with, "forget it. I don't care." and they hug, and oh! ::sniffles::
Sigh. The bestest mostest fictional boyfriend evah.

Hey! Don't slight Martin Blank.
I figured she must have been a del Toro relative, or blackmailer, or sumthin'.
Beej, she's hot. Hello.
Don't slight Martin Blank.
Man, I don't know. Dodging bullets on dates may be exciting in the first few times, but would probably get old real quick.
He's retired!
Beej, she's hot. Hello.
Hmm. Hot cardboard...
Nope. Does nuthin' for me.
P-C,
It's all your fault.
I am every manner of squicked after viewing Flesh + Blood. I can't wring it out of my mind.
Gang rape! Plague! Senseless murder! 41 year old Rutger Hauer (who looked geee-rate! by the way) tugging on the nipples of 23 year old Jennifer Jason Leigh. Brion James' member. Burning dog meat. (sounds like the name of a band, but still.)
I think I'm honestly traumatized.
