But I was singularly unimpressed when I listened to their Night o/t Hunter show and made exactly zero mention of Lillian Gish. None. Not one time. That was just mystifying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809904719257477745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-45543999167211395972016-11-03T15:29:15.204-04:002016-11-03T15:29:15.204-04:00I like this film a lot.

However I think it does it to such a degree that it's actually a grueling and affecting watch. It sticks with me when I watch which for me is a sign that it achieved what it was going for.

I watched the 'making of' before hand & the director was so deluded... I kept thinking - 'your film better be good after all your suedo-arty BS'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971996637210863816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-10891821490392054662016-10-23T09:46:47.980-04:002016-10-23T09:46:47.980-04:00Oh, that goes without saying!

I liked the discussion about "Martyrs" very much. Unfortunately, I also saw the movie.Nechcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059642044576356134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-28957916774530005932016-10-21T14:16:24.819-04:002016-10-21T14:16:24.819-04:00Hey, thanks for the feedback.

Even when we are talking about movies that may or may not be a person's particular cup of tea, I hope that you'll agree that we bring some interesting discussion about the film to your ears.

If you want to see a harrowing "love story" set in a (CIA-inspired) torture dungeon, please watch "Garage Olimpo".Nechcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059642044576356134noreply@blogger.com
