That Cutting Edge clip feels like some alternate reality John Cusack-Winona Ryder pairing
― da croupier, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
My sister loved The Cutting Edge. And Newsies.

i loved both those movies when i was a kid. i think it is kind of a girl thing.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
Never actually saw The C Edge but I may still know most of the words to all the Newsies song. I LOVED that movie because, well, young Christian Bale.

Yup. Sis also loved Swing Kids. Since none of these movies were box office hits, how the hell did she learn about them? Was there a Bale network on CompuServe?
― ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
i was going to mention swing kids. christian bale and robert sean leonard. definitely part of the preteen girl hot boy movie canon.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
x-post lol horseshoe :D
lol idk but I'm pretty sure I saw Swing Kids the weekend it opened. Christian Bale AND Robert Sean Leonard. IN SUITS. C'mon. I found a notebook from around then while I was cleaning out my parents' house and it had "Swing Kids" doodled in script on the inside. *hangs head in shame* I mean, I guess it could have been worse. I could have written "Swing Heil! Swing Heil!".

i definitely thought it had gravitas because kenneth branagh played a nazi
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
^^ great hair btw
sorry this is not about tony gilroy
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
Bale, not Branagh. Maybe Branagh too.
Branagh wasn't even in the credits!
― ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
Oh i totally had the soundtrack and listend to it ALL THE TIME and may have cut bits out of the liner notes and tacked them on my bedroom walls *whistles*.

xxpost
Oh god he's so cute.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
look i think i remember swing kids accurately, alfred. barbara hershey plays robert sean leonard's mom and kenneth branagh is the nazi who seduces her. they're in it for like five seconds.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
i had no idea that Swing Kids even existed. and Thomas Carter directed it!

i see Frank Whaley was in it... i hate that guy :[
― anime hitler, the futanari führer (Princess TamTam), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
No I know he's in it – he just got no screen credit.
― ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
Shocked and angry, Peter shouts, "You're turning into a Nazi!" to which Thomas bluntly responds, "So what if I am?". Arvid suddenly realizes that there is no future for him in Germany and no hope of escape. He goes home and commits suicide in the bathtub, slitting his wrists with a broken record.
omg frank whaley was so tragic in it! this movie was responsible for me learning who django reinhardt was btw and i will forever associate him with frank whaley.

Devastated, Thomas drowns himself in a water-filled tuba
― ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
I remember having like 1st generation German guilt for finding Bale so hot in that movie too and making sure to emphasize to myself that I found him hottest before he became a Nazi.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
Arvid! They cut off his fingers!
that movie is all about feeling guilty for finding christian bale as a hitler youth hot.
xp i know! arvid!

Remember when RSL had to deliver that lady's husband's ashes to her. IT WAS SO SAD!

i should probably leave goole's poor thread alone
x-post
I know!
But it was so ~POWERFUL~ at the time!!

It was a good day to update the Albee thread while you guys are preoccupied with giants like Tony Gilroy, Lars von Trier, and whoever the fuck made Swing Kids.

i read that albee article btw, good stuff
Never got that into School Ties. Was probably too busy doing the Lindy alone in my bedroom or something.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
matt damon is amazing as an evil antisemite in school ties tbh.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
Is brenden fraiser in that? he's sort of creepy? I feel like there were naked boy butts at the beginning of it. This might be a false memory.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, brendan fraser. with the benefit of hindsight, he's totally creepy. there was nakedness!
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know how to feel about being totally played by the hot boys + antisemitism = young women will eat this shit up formula.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:38 (twelve years ago) link
I really don't remember anything about School Ties. :( Maybe this is a good reason to rewatch all these. You know, to help bring clarification on this highly important and still totally relevant issue. Research, if you will.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
i have a feeling i am going to be researching all of this very soon.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
i'm going to read that who's afraid of virginia woolf article, too, morbz! <3
I just realized that Dr. Morbius has never seen any of "Sullivan's Travels" past the moment when Joel McCrea is arrested.
xp "School Ties" has Damon AND Affleck. And Amy Locane, remember her?
― Captain Hyrax (Phil D.), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
my friends and i also watched the shit out of a room with a view: rupert graves naked iirc
xp yes, amy locane was v v pretty iirc
