First ep of mindhunter was good but it took me a week to drag myself back. Second ep is pure gold and I'm pissed I have to work today and can't just binge the whole thing.

How many facial expressions does Holden Ford have? All kidding aside, Mindhunter was pretty great, but I think it has the worst intro ever. The jarring cuts makes me feel nauseous for some weird reason.

Baronash posted:Any good films in the vein of No Reservations or Big Daddy, where people suddenly end up taking care of kids? If you don't mind foreign language films, Instructions Not Included ('No se aceptan devoluciones' is the Spanish title) is a Mexican film about a playboy in Acapulco that is saddled with a baby after a former one night stand shows up on his doorstep and ditches the baby with him. I first saw it on Netflix, but I'm not sure if it's still up there. E: Raising Helen is a rather Hollywood take on it. It ain't great, but it follows the standard Hollywood formula LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Mindhunter's greatest strength are probably the various interview sections, particularly the Edmund Kemper ones. Cameron Britton pulls of an incredible performance in that role, which is not only really interesting but also eerily close to the real thing. I just wish they'd skipped over everything related to Holden's personal life, those parts just drag like hell. Anyway, a bit apropos of nothing, I only just noticed that Face/Off is available on Netflix and gave it another watch after having last seen it years ago. Holy poo poo, I'd forgotten how ludicrously fun this movie is. It's peak Cage in the best way and has no sense of restraint at all. It owns, go watch it.

Face/Off is one of those movies you gotta just have on hand for when you're in that Face/Off kinda mood. It would be like not having salt in your kitchen.

Little late to the party but I saw the jim and andy trailer and I am so pumped, I saw man on the moon months ago and I'm glad it's finally getting resurfaced and the attention, it's criminal there's not even a blu-ray release of this.

Not to bring back the Tarantino train, but I just did rewatch Hateful and I had forgotten how much the part where he narrates and goes "and thats why I named this chapter Who Poisoned The Coffee" makes me want to kick him in the mouth until he dies.

Anyway, BTK wasn't caught until long after the time that Mindhunter covers, so that's probably the main reason. Although I haven't quite finished it yet, I assume there's no big time jump towards the end.

Nah, he asked them in the mail while he was publishing the manifesto and they took out a print ad saying it would be safe to send it in because it wasn't traceable. Profiling had nothing to do with it.

If they took out a big print ad in a local newspaper, it was almost certainly suggested by a profiler, logic being that he would find that kind of attention irresistible. Still that's pretty funny.

Still that's pretty funny. The problem is that a lot of this stuff was really, really not obvious to cops at the time of Douglas and Ressler's work, but now all these years later people assume it's all part of basic, normal police work. Well that's true, now, but it wasn't then. The cops carried on a correspondence with BTK for years, and the knowledge that had been gained via profiling work up to that point was a big contributor to how they gained his trust and eventually were able to fool him. Profiling isn't like magic psych powers where you look at a lineup of suspects and just pick one out, it's just used as a guide for targeting the usual police techniques at the right place in the right way.

Would telling someone who's obviously somewhat intelligent a lie potentially set him off and cause him to accelerate his schedule? Would it scare him off and make him go underground? Basic insights into his personality were really important to know what the best move was at that moment.

Kill Bill is Tarantinos best imo. Those fight dope fight sequences and score really elevate it for me. It's the perfect revenge movie. Jackie Brown is him at his most boring. Outside of the Pam Grier/ Forester stuff the story kinda chugs along at a boring pace. It's his only movie I don't have much desire to revisit.
