Mr. Majestyk? What a lame movie. They got a guy with a very nearly hispanic accent hauling watermelons. They got their stereotypes all mixed up..
A funny *** thought just crossed my mind- could you see Fred Sanford making that scene with the ol' company truck. "Hold on Louise' I'm comin' to see ya- this is the big one....." as he goes bouncing over hills and through farm gates.
Yeah, they made Ford commercials about that movie claiming that it was made with an unmodified stock pickup. What they didn't tell you is that's basically the way the zit faced kids on the assembly line move your truck from final assembly to the the transport. JK.
Another one I never really got into. I was just thinking about this one- I thought maybe I had something different to be a new classic. I had high hopes and a lot of what was needed was there, but the ending absolutely sucked and there were some holes in the movie from the beginning. It struck me as a director that started the movie and a joint at the same time, and he was too stoned at the end. the movie- "NO Country for Old Men".
Speaking of movies, how about the Faces of Death series; my bro learned of 'em in
college....
Yeah- I never knew how to take them. I think it's illegal to make a movie about an actual fatality, so to speak... But I'm not sure where the line is drawn. Certainly the Magruder film depicts actual death as it happened, as do many combat documentaries. But there is something in the law about making a commercial for profit film that bans the use of real loss of human life. Kinda like it's okay to show the actual kill shots on a sports show about hunting, (provided you put in the "this film contains scenes that make liberal woosies get their panties in a wad, intellectual discretion advised " 'or whatever')- but if you make a Hollywood movie and you actually pull hair on a cat instead of doing by special effects- it's a no no. ( "No animals were harmed in the making of this film except the leading man...") You see that kind of disclaimer on every film.
But somewhere along the line- I heard it is illegal to make a film with real life taking of human life. There's not too many that will whose focus is all about that- Holocaust films for example.
So- All these examples are outside the context of "Faces of Death", but lead me to believe that the reality of what you are seeing pretty much parallels the actual sex involved in the HBO sex shows. Looks good, but ain't happening. Highly entertaining though- and one of them in particular makes me want to go gator hunting.....
