Blood Boils: Dec 27, 2006; Its not an S, on my planet it means QUIPS

alright time for some lukewarm hot takes:

-Silence is probably a fine novel but doesn't really work as a film
-Kundun and Bringing Out the Dead are horribly underrated
-Gangs of New York has a better Daniel Day Lewis performance than There Will Be Blood
-Raging Bull feels weirdly forgotten for some reason considering it's maybe the best movie by Scorsese or De Niro
-I will take anyone making GBS threads on his film takes seriously when they direct a movie at least as good as After Hours and not before

Scary accurate

Re: Silence

I read the book before I saw the movie, I would recommend it to anyone who at least kinda liked the film. You get more pov from some of the minor characters, the priests do a bit more, etc

And LtKen is correct, it works a bit better as a novel than a movie but there's not a huge gulf between them really.

If we're talking subdued/different Nicholson performances I recently double-featured the Shooting and Ride the Whirlwind, I would recommend both (but especially the shooting)
