My post can't be wrong, since I was talking about its objective quality as measured in IMDb ratings.

I was always get Shawshank mixed up with that other pile of garbage movie where the 8 ft doorman grabs Tom Hanks' nuts!

Is Tom Shanks, sorry, Hanks in both?

ask IMDb Tom, they are like god and the last word on everything in movies!

Further confusion is that Tim Robbins (whatever happened to?) is in the The Hudsucker Redemption and The Shawshanks Proxy.
― Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Monday, 13 January 2020 10:51 (four years ago) link
other than the titles and Tim Bobbins I don't think the two movies have much in common at all.

Tom Hanks' grabbed nuts are in The Green Mile, same director as The Shawshank Redemption and also based on a work by Stephen King

oh yeah I'd forgotten they were both Stephen King joints.

we had a dishwasher when I was a teen but it was installed directly next to the cutlery drawer so it never occurred to me to remove the cutlery whatsit at all
as a grownup I've never lived anywhere with a dishwasher, except for two housesitting locations. double sink >>> dishwasher all day anyway.

fuck dishwashers, there is no need for them and we already make way more electrical appliances than the world needs.

Dishwashers use less water than washing and rinsing dishes by hand does, though.

ok i'm afraid i'm not sufficiently organised to always synchronise the washing up with the central heating operation even though the planet is burning, mea culpa!

I have actually seen Shawshank but it was in the 90s and I wasn't giving it my full attention. For the Coens, I am generally positively disposed to their movies, but don't follow them closely, my only challops with them is Big Lebowski > Fargo

Which Stephen King story was Hudsucker Proxy based on? Or was it published under a different name like "The Body"
― pplains, Monday, 13 January 2020 14:57 (four years ago) link
it was apparently based on the same script as the flintstones movie of the same year
