I loved that the close up body shots of Angie Dickinson in the shower were of like a 25 year old's body (a nice one at that) -- no way was that Ms. Dickinson's body at that time of her life

Angie was age 49 at that time. she is now age 87.

These photos were real, however.

The body double is identified in IMDB. Victoria Johnson who was on Grizzly (1976), Starship Invasions (1977) and The Dukes of Hazzard (1979).

3 Billboards Outside Bumfart Sticksville. Oh my
god, what a truly awful movie. I made it to
where the cop threw the guy out the 2nd
story window. Turned it off in disgust.

There wasn't a single sympathetic character
in this movie. There was no real story. It
was a flimsy excuse for Hwood to show
what they think of people in mid America.
Foul mouthed, dysfunctional, racist,
uneducated, hateful, miserable people.

It's the Hwod Lib theme again of, black
people good, white people baaaaaadd.
Every white person is a cursing cartoon
character, an In The Heat of the Night
stereotype. The few black people, the
billboard guy, the new police chief,
the girl who works with Mildred, are
all mild mannered, educated, level
headed. It's the 'crackers' that are
portrayed as racist, C-word using
uncouth loons. How many times was
the C-word used, both by men
and women. In my entire life I've
maybe heard it five times in conversation.
Yet in this small town, Hwood thinks
it's common everyday talk.

This piece of crap was nominated for
awards, that's how much the Hwood
elite loves to see mid America trashed.

I have never heard anyone use the C-word in the real world -- have only heard it on tv/movies

I might be exaggerating about 5 times
when I think about it. I've heard it so
many time in movies and on cable
TV series, I might have only heard
it once or twice in real life.

This movie has a lot of well known
actors in kind of bit parts. They only
signed on because they get to trash
the 'rubes' in flyover country. Assholes.

And the movie has no ending, that's
how pathetic it is. They couldn't even
come up with an ending to this crap.
It was just a vehicle to show what
pieces of human feces white people
in middle America are.

Deadpool 2. Every bit as good as the first one.
A superhero movie where the dialogue is more
important than the action. Just hilarious, you
really have to pay attention to catch all of it.
How many times did Ryan Reynolds say, that's
just lazy writing. And he was one of the major
writers. Everything is a reference to something
else, everything is innuendo. You have to be
very talented and clever to be this good. Cost
110 million to make, took in 800 million
worldwide. Let's see if three times is a charm.

For the director it said, one of those guys who
killed John Wicks dog. Come on, that's brilliant.

Pet Sematary (2019)

I prefer the 1989 version. It may be dated these days, but it’s creepier. This new one goes for a more grounded tone.

This is a pretty by-the-numbers remake, for the first hour. Then in the third act it finally finds its own lane and gets pretty messed up.

If you are planning on seeing this one and have seen the original, I’d recommend NOT watching the trailer. There are some pretty big changes in the third act and they gave too much away in the trailers.

(They’ll never be able to beat the Zelda from the original)
