Well thank you! But I have gotten things wrong here in this thread for the same reason.

Like just right now I thought Mulligan was the little girl in Atonement. Which, what a story. I'm not breaking any new ground but it's worth the reminder that it's not a story about some foggey rich people a century ago but a story about the consequences of one's behaviour at an age where you still think & act like a small child half the time and have zero life experience but most would find you old enough to know better and it'd be hard to forgive yourself (since you still recognize that younger you as basically the same person as you now unlike maybe how you'd treat someone just 3 or 4 years younger as a different proto-you) even if the end result wasn't as bad as it was. I expect we all have bad dreams about this kind of thing.
"The story can resume" part always kills me no matter how many times I see the movie. Atonement is top tier and kind of forgotten I feel.

Also a formative movie for me as a teen, I had the "choose life" speech poster on the back of my bedroom door (you put the naughty posters on the back of the door so that when parents come into your room they don't see it)

I went into the sequel with very low expectations but it's great! Well worth your time.

I watched A Little Chaos (that one about the gardener to Louis XIV) and it seemed like she'd aged straight from 18 to 50 since last time I'd seen her. Casting for "women of a certain age" is famously thin on the ground unless you're doing shows like Wheel of Time or, like, Bad Sisters which seem tailor-made to address exactly that issue.

I freaking love that movie what did you think of it?

The original script for Chinatown had zero scenes take place in LA's Chinatown because it's really just a metaphor, but Polanski insisted at least one scene in the movie Chinatown should actually take place in Chinatown so the finale was moved there.

Why didn't Craig Sheffer ever break through? In the early 90's it looked like he was going to be a genuine movie star but apparently it wasn't in the cards.

Was there a specific reason? Drugs, the law, messy relationship, studio fuckery? If not I guess he just wasn't talented

It is November of 2001. You are at the mall all hosed up on Mountain Dew Code Red. You pretend to understand the adult mysteries implied by the items for sale at Spencer Gifts. You page through a thick tome of cute dog pictures at Waldenbooks. Then it's time to rush off to the 215 pm showing of Out Cold at the mall's attached movie theater. Gotta get there early to get the good seats!
