the long, subdued, nearly action-free "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"

Scoot's versatility will be put to the test in that one.

what's with the Scoot hard-on? he was fine, but it's an awfully familiar character type and he's no Elisha Cook Jr.

Rad. I love this movie.

Garret Dillahunt's career shift from stuff like this and "Deadwood" to being the dad in "Raising Hope" is still so weird to me.

interesting that he sez hes making 'Blonde' next from JCOs novel -- he tried to make it back a few yrs ago -http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010/05/andrew-dominik-returns-with-marilyn.html

dominik sounds cool

Anyway, Dominik took the opportunity to say, bluntly, that he is “embarrassed by the stylization in 'Killing Them Softly.'”

otm

He should be embarrassed by some of the the stylization in this one too.

“Have you seen 'Bonnie & Clyde' lately?” Dominik interrupted, scrunching his face in disapproval. “Has some good editing in the end, I suppose...“

lol f u

bonnie & clyde sucks, hes right

only if you insist on long, subdued, and nearly action-free

my friend went to this, said dominik came across as a dick.

johnny crunch and hungry4ass otm re: killing them softly. i did actually worry when 'heroin' came on the soundtrack and also i thought 'the man comes around' was a dreadful choice for pitt's intro song (i think dominik's music library must consist entirely of other movie trailer songs) but overall it was a strong movie imo.

dominik is finally getting blonde off the ground, naturally for netflix

weird, I have no recollection of writing this or who this person may have been.

The Character Assassination of Andrew Dominik by the Coward akm

Killing Them Softly seems to have been getting some defense lately from people who don't want to be on the wrong side of the film's thuddingly obvious politics, so I finally watched it. I had put it off because I didn't want it to diminish my estimation of the source material, Cogan's Trade, which I consider a masterpiece of lowlife dialogue. I'm afraid it's so bad it might have done just that. I feel bad for ever criticizing Nicolas Winding-Refn or Zack Snyder for ever having some crass and dumb ideas because Dominik belongs in movie jail. Plenty of people have mocked the ubiquitous C-SPAN footage and the moronic music cues, but ripping off the use of "Love Letters" from Blue Velvet is particularly annoying.

I will say Ben Mendelsohn is great playing an all-time disgusting loser. James Gandolfini gave his character an even more sinister dimension than I remember him having in the novel. He used to complain about what a toll playing a dark character like Tony Soprano took on him, this role might have finished him off.

“It’s a demanding movie,” Dominik said. “If the audience doesn’t like it, that’s the f–king audience’s problem. It’s not running for public office.”
