So strange to see Kyle with no forehead wrinkles or being the villain of a romcom.
The Quick and the Dead has its fans. Fair to say, it takes a weirdly exaggerated (camp?/kitsch?) approach to the genre. If you’re in the right mood — or on the right stimulantsA bunch of clips from ‘The Quick and The Dead’’ on my timeline. Never seen it, but all I know that tis considered one of the worst westerns. Still, I kinda want to watch it cause of the cast. Some of the trivia for it is great.
I'm not familiar with that film but I definitely draw a line at animal cruelty. No art is worth watching that for me.I'm struggling with Sátántangó a bit. I was supposed to watch it next month as part of our monthly double feature with my friend. We both choose mystery films, and I already warned my friend that this would have to be an entire-day kind of affair because of the length. I remember hearing that there was some kind of animal cruelty element to it, and that's a huge issue that I have with any film if it's unsimulated. I can't really look past it, it's entirely immoral, downright evil to me. But I want to see all films of merit, so every now and then I just have to deal with it. Sátántangó, I've heard many times that the scene is simulated and that there was a vet on set, the cat was "safely" drugged, etc., but having checked those scenes out in advance just to be sure that I can show the film to my friend, I'm torn. The way it's shot, it's obvious that the cat is in serious distress and in danger throughout those scenes. It doesn't take an animal behavior analyst to notice that the cat is very unhappy, even if the sounds were added in edit, as claimed by the director. This is a beloved film, so I'm sure it'll be worth the watch, but this whole thing is seriously putting me off. Any thoughts on the film or on animal cruelty onscreen overall?
That's an odd blind spot in film culture to me. There's a reluctance from many cinephiles to criticize animal cruelty when it's done by acclaimed directors like John Waters, Jodorowsky... There's no excusing it.I'm not familiar with that film but I definitely draw a line at animal cruelty. No art is worth watching that for me.
Yeah that's...a big ask.Sátántangó is going to be a challenge for its length alone, it's 432 minutes long![]()
