whacking off to Gary Cooper is a horror movie.

People actually watch Noel Coward movies at parties now and not just in the shame of their lame solitude? I feel ill; need to go watch A Serbian Film now to get my equilibrium back.

The Lubitch film of DoL, anecdotally, used one line of dialogue from the Coward play.

this will be my first time seeing a refn film (also never watched carey mulligan or gosling in anything)
also really want to see brooks be scary
On the phone from his home in Copenhagen, Drive director Refn says he "always wanted" Brooks for the role, but he still asked that the actor make his case for the part in person."There are certain things that I've wanted to do," Brooks says. "And one of them is to play a guy that's that guy — I don't like to call him a bad guy. I went to see Nicolas. [I said], 'You can go with the six people that are the bad guys in every movie ever made' — and I knew he wanted to hear this, because he asked me to come to his house — 'But, to me, it's more exciting when I don't know that I know everything that's going to happen when a guy comes on-screen.'"So Nicolas liked that, and he said, 'You know, when I was a young man, I watched that movie Lost in America and I saw you yelling at your wife, and it scared the hell out of me.' And I said, 'OK, that's good.'""Albert was like a volcano of emotions," Refn remembers, laughing. "There was something really unique — and threatening. I felt that this guy, eventually, he will kill somebody — so let's make it in a movie."

Projecting a #3 for the weekend at 11m. I think a midnight screening will be empty enough for me to see it tonight, after roadworks held me up in traffic and I missed an earlier screening.

yeah i was thinking abt just going to see this tonight since im feeling to sick to go out properly

I like the thought of Morbs trying to find reasons not to see a movie and scrolling through the RT "Top Critics" section and finding the 2 Splats as enough justification to skip.

Nicolas Winding Refn sought advice from Gaspar Noé on how to make brutal and realistic facial damage.
