Tangentially, in the shots where it's really Robbie skating she's actually natural, no awkward cuts from a body double. I was expecting her to be sloppy as hell considering she's Australian, and they've got like 4 skating rinks in the whole country. I've read she likes to do her own stunts, so I bet she took lessons at some point. In Birds of Prey she roller skates and you can see she has a good stride.

The whole movie is completely unsubtle but there is a small dialog thing in Death Becomes Her that I love. Towards the end, when Bruce Willis is offered the potion of eternal life, the woman offering it uses a faulty metaphor - to Meryl Streep her spiel is all "gently caress the rules of nature you are better than them!" but to Bruce she phrases his career and this potential decision as "You are Don Quixote, tilting at life's windmills." It's fitting because he's the only one who doesn't take it, realising the futility of eternal life. He recognises that trying to avoid death is Quixotic and decides not to, instead fully embracing what is left of his existence, doing as much with his remaining 40 years as he can, while Meryl and goldie Hawn are trapped in a permanent limbo literally having to cover each others asses for eternity.

It happened at least three times because my spouse and I turned to each other simultaneously and remarked upon it. I think it was when she gets her head pushed into yet another one and talks to the camera right after.

It's also a really sour note in the film if you know a little about Harding's accounts of truly being terrified of her husband. The movie is interesting and very well-made and acted, but the glib tone that the movie puts on their relationship (and then doesn't really interrogate) rankled me as someone who has known abused people and seen them put on that same glibness as a defense mechanism.

To be fair "Death becomes him/her" is a super oldfashioned phrase. John Ford used it in his 1633 play "'Tis Pity She's a Whore"

I think my favourite transition in the whole movie is towards the end where Meryl and Goldie have let Bruce slip through their fingers and he has now completely escaped them, and they initially are a little giddy at the idea of having to rely on each other (spoilering because it's a movie that many people haven't seen): Meryl: It's not so bad, I'll paint your rear end, and then in return you can paint mine. Goldie, starting to giggle: "Who ever thought it would turn out this way? Hehe, you and me..." M: Spraying each other's asses...Haha G: FOREVER. Heh.... G+M, suddenly realising: -_- TITLE CARD: 37 Years Later

The bit where she stands up out of the pool with the shotgun blast all the way through her guts is still an all-time what the gently caress moment.

Memento posted:The bit where she stands up out of the pool with the shotgun blast all the way through her guts is still an all-time what the gently caress moment. It's just an altogether fun movie. The early CG really doesn't stand out and young Bruce is just so cowered all the time. He was really great in Die Hard 3 and Pulp Fiction where he's blurring the line between being a hard-rear end and trapped by circumstances and being a real guy with a sloppy tie. Basically what I'm saying is he had range. Now he just makes movies like he owes money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RmBv6iaBRU

I have watched that movie at least a half dozen times. I didn't enjoy it even a single time. I have no idea why I watched it so many times. I guess it's actually not *too* bad but it ain't good either. I always associate it with "Listen to Me" which I kind of like. I think they were both on the same tape off of HBO. It's kind of like watching "Beaches", women like it, men don't. Not a bad movie, but not enjoyable.

I kept seeing ads for Motherless Brooklyn in NYC a few years ago and I assumed it was some sort of orphan charity or something.

Isn’t Bruce Willis also an rear end in a top hat that is terrible to work with? I thought I read he just shows up and punches the clock and wants everyone to gently caress off and not bother him even with production info or direction

The only story I’ve ever actually heard related to this was the Kevin Smith one, and even then Willis didn’t start grilling him out of nowhere, it was because Smith was talking to his DOP and didn’t know the name of the lens he wanted
