[The Cat]

Frank Costello (and Jack Nicholson's version of him) is my favorite Scorsese villain for the hilarity (she fell funny). I don't think another actor could have pulled of this kind of funny, particularly when dying.

Jack has a way of playing roles that I dont think other actors could. Alan Rickman was also able to do this.

So real talk: Would you touch the rock from In The Tall Grass?

I think I only got 20 minutes in before boredom made me turn it off

 

[The Cat]

It's a great premise. But like. Memento it is not. I think this would have made a better mini series than a movie. It's a visually pretty movie. And I enjoy the concept of being just out in tall grass and I can appreciate what an alien world that feels. I'll have to check out the book. I'll wager the rock has something to do with the Deadlights at the very least it fell around the same time It came to Derry. But then Randall Flagg is He who walks behind the Rows and given the Dark Man was also the voice that Ms Carmody heard in the Mist, I wonder if its tied in in that regard. I'll bet this was a fun movie to make at the very least. I've spent a ton of hours in my life enjoying being out in tall grass like that. I think I would touch the Rock.

back when i was in the military on my days off once I got my car and could leave the base I would drive around the small town which had 3 movie theaters. I'd come to the first one, see whatever was playing when I got there, and make the rounds. This was one of the ones I wished I'd gotten to that theater at a different time. It's the only movie Ive ever finished out of spite. Because it really felt like the movie wanted the audience to walk out.

I also saw Master of Disguise that way.

At least the Mitch McConnell joke in that movie aged well

Why does a guy impersonating a turtle purr like a cat? I gotta hand it to them for taking a move from Danny Devito in Batman Returns, though.

A cocaine cat.

Also, that movie was a fever dream of questionable choices. I think it was supposed to be a live action cartoon, but like. Why though?

It would have been better if it was directed by Jon Turtletaub.

It doesn't?

As a fever dream yes, as any comparison against a cat. I say nay nay. Jon Pinette is a better comparison to a cat than Cats.
