American Beauty is my all time favourite. As a real estate agent, Carolyn’s motivation for selling a house has been a great example for me in my career. I always start the day saying ‘’I will sell this house today’’ like she says in the movie. Sometimes you could have difficult tasks like selling a hotel for sale in Canary Islands but as long as you keep yourself motivated and don’t sink into dispear you are always having a chance.
Cleavon Little was a genius, and he and Gene Wilder were brilliant together in the movie. As were Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn. The racial epithets that Pryor and Brooks decided to include in the script disappointed me, but I do recognize it as a very creative and otherwise ground-breaking movie.
It just dawned on my lightening fast mind what the title of that movie really meant; it was good back then; it’s even gooder now.
Wonder what kind of hot sauce they used in those beans? :person_facepalming:
It was one of those movies like “Creator” (wow, also 1985… there’s a shock) where you start watching it on teevee just ’cause nothing else is on, and you’re instantly hooked and it becomes one of your favorites.
Well, at least it did with me.
I also caught “Creator” when it started as the late late late show at 0300, and watched it straight through ’til 0500.
Looked for it forever in video stores ’til I was able to special-order it at Beast Buy.
Wow, and I thought the Who-niverse was convoluted…
Okay, so “Endgame” followed “Infinity”, and I just saw an “Ultron” listed somewhere. Where should I start if I wanted to just catch the pix from a decent starting point, instead of being totally at sea for most of it?
I liked “Endgame”, but I imagine if I knew who most of them were, and their backstories, I would’ve liked it even more.
And all these people were listed in the credits for only like 5sec of cameo. Eg, Samu L Jackson with the eyepatch at the very end. Rene Russo was in it? I see her listed, but can’t for the life of me place her in the movie. Etc.
