The movie frame game 20:20

Oh, good lord. Seriously? A picture of the side of a building. Okay, let’s see, uh, Don’t Look Now? I seem to recall lots of shots of buildings in that movie. That building looks like it could be in Venice.

If it’s not that, my other guess is Breach.

Rory Stewart:

I was certain that was Geena Davis. I have never heard of that film before but it looks like it might get a watch if it shows up on Netflix or TV.

Night of the Comet is on Netflix, at least in the US. Don’t know about elsewhere.

To be fair it’s actually one of the most memorable scenes from this movie, not just a random cutaway!

And not Don’t Look Now!

Rosemary’s Baby! There are probably scenes of buildings in that movie.

Nope, here is a possibly very easy 40:40

Hannah and her Sisters

Yerp!

The building was part of the scene where they drive about appreciating New York architecture, probably one of Allen’s better “New York Moments”.

Woop woop, two in a row!

OK, I didn’t really expect anyone to get anything from that one. Maybe the 40:

Sweet, one of my favorite e.e. cummings’ poems in that one.

Well, sooner or later I’ll tell you.

80:80 (or so…there were boobies in the actual 80:80)

Kill List?

charmtrap · 2012-04-04T09:58:09.000Z

Got it! I thought I had this one, damn you.

Creepy crime movie that goes right off the rails into utter madness in the final third.

The frame game is really the only valid excuse for boobie pics.

divedivedive · 2012-04-04T21:47:30.000Z

Dude, yeah. Spoiler that boobie pic if you have to, but don’t leave us hanging.

tomchick · 2012-04-04T22:28:31.000Z

If I recall Kill List correctly, it’s not the sort of thing you’ll really want to see, unless naked middle-aged English cultists are your thing.

BTW, I don’t recommend Kill List. I mostly hated it, and I hated where it ended up, which was cheap, manipulative, and shocking for shock’s sake. Still, good pick for a game of 20:20. As soon as I saw that mask, it was one of those “ah, right!” 20:20s.

I agree with the manipulation, but I also agree with Ebert: “It’s baffling and goofy, blood-soaked and not boring. That it’s well-made adds to the confusion; it feels like a better film than it turns out to be.”

Not a great film, but an atmospheric and sometimes effective one. If you’re willing to ride with the goofiness a little bit it’s worth 90 minutes.

tomchick · 2012-04-05T00:55:25.000Z

Wait, wait, hold on a sec. Did you just come at me with an Ebert quote?
