Blue Velvet is tough I love the beginning where there is that all American parade with fire trucks Then the camera goes in for the tiny closeup into the grass and it gets ugly Just like the movie Starts nice, turns ugly Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I still think about BV, one of the best strange movies ever made. Dennis Hopper is so scary in it that you can never really get him out of your head. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 94%, it's that good. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Like a LOT of movies, BV was revolutionary for its time, but doesn't hold up well. Couple scenes stay with you, like the Hopper scenes with Rossellini in her apartment (Show it to me! oooohh mama, ohhhh mama!), the Roy Orbison sing-a-long with Dean Stockwell, but the scene in the car with "want me to send you a love letter?" or whatever, seemed badly paced. Lot of the movie is boring, and trying to watch again just to re-see those key scenes is bor-ing. See it once so you can discuss at impromptu coffeeshop gatherings, and forget it. |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12420 | I plan on seeing Get Out this weekend. As of right now, it's sitting at 100% at Rotten Tomatoes. That's crazy for a horror movie (although apparently it is more of a horror-comedy). https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/get_out “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I predict the white people cook and eat the black people - somehow the chick doesn't know what is in her favorite dish. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

PLEASE NO SPOILERS But given the current popularity of zombie movies, including Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix, I would say that is a very good guess. |

Trailer doesn't look much like a comedy.... It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

I'm assuming it's "dark comedy" and it comes into play during parts of the movie that would be too spoiler-y for the trailers. I have no idea though.... I haven't read any spoilers or anything. I might see it tonight. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
