I feel that a rewatch of Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd," is in order in honor of Andy Griffith's passing.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

Great movie, and a great performance by Griffith.
I've got the soundtrack because of those cool, folksy songs.

Gaaaah, Mirkwood. Not looking forward to that part.
Also, I just made flailyhands at the Galadriel photo.

"Face In The Crowd" is really awesome...aside from showcasing a side of ol' "Ange", I never knew he had, KO is right...it seems to have anticipated people like Glenn Beck.

I think the Tim Robbins movie Bob Roberts was kind of a remake of aFitC. If not, it was close enough in tone, theme and plot that it may as well have been.

People like Glen Beck go way back. Father Coughlin started well before WWII. I don't when the first U.S. secular hate radio started, but I know it was well established (as a fringie thing) by the 60s.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Yeah...I could see that, although I don't think Tim Robbins quite carried it off...or the script wasn't as good, maybe. Do not remember which, but "Face" had a powerhouse screenwriter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone know enough about the movie Savages to explain why Blake Lively's face is obscured in the poster? Firstly, she's a hot chick. Secondly, I didn't think the drug dealing kids were the savages, ergo wearing the "tribal" (or do I mean "ethnic"?) mask. Or, if they are, why aren't the other two masked?
What's up with her character, and assuming she shares that with Benicio's...
I mean, shouldn't it be Taylor's face they're hiding, just in case he's recognised by potential viewers?
