I’m familiar with the backstory. I’ve seen the play. I was making an observation based on the movie as an individual dramatic work. I’ve also made the observation that a movie focused on death ends with some pretty in your face symbolism. It ends with a birth, in the spring, on Easter. I think th...

I live in north Alabama. My driveway, back porch, back door, etc. looks like Jonestown, the day after. Except the cicadas play the part of the cultists. I’ll post pics when I get home. [embed]https://youtu.be/zscu12lmYVY?si=T_I34PZSyadZMMl0[/embed]...

The movie is better than the play. However, the movie almost feels stereotypical in that they didn’t know how to end a story, so they had someone die. In the play it’s pretty evident all along that she’s fighting a losing battle and you know what the outcome will be. This movie came out right wh...

Jesus, this thread makes me appreciate my parents so much. The Joneses just don’t have any of this drama. My parents have always loved my wife. I’m pretty sure she’s their favorite kid at this point. We’ve never had any issues. When we moved to Huntsville, we moved to a house 2 minutes from them. ...

After being in the military for a while, I wonder how many military folks Aaron Sorkin spoke with before writing the play. He got the Marine ethos down pat, but some of the stuff is completely eye rolling. The “cocksucking” conversation that they have with a female officer is farcical even for t...

[quote] Beth just gets worse[/quote] She’s terrible. She goes on these manic diatribes where she blathers on and on but essentially says nothing and makes no point. And she’s a psycho. I’m on episode 2.4 and I really hate what they have done with Jamie’s character. Costner is a little eas...
