Shit, I got my 70’s iconic commercial lines mixed up.
How about, “We make money the old fashioned way. We use people like you to mollify the masses.”
Woot! I’ll have something up tomorrow.
I love how much older that frame looks, than it is. It looks like a period piece. Something from the sixties or something. What a great look this movie has.
The Grifters?

“You haven’t got the stomach for it.”
Man, that first frame is so tantalizing, but having not seen The Grifters since forever it’d have taken Cusack for it to click. Pat Hingle has one of those faces that I instantly recognize and can never place.
I love Pat Hingle. But I cannot think of him without thinking of that elevator accident, and that always makes me feel sick and sad. I first heard about that when I read some movie book, or autobiography, but I can’t remember what book. I just remember reading it many years ago and being struck by the horror of it.
Still, I just watched Batman again and it made me very happy to see him again in that.

Dang. I was entirely ignorant of any elevator accident, and I believe I will stay as close to that as possible.
The Last of the Mohicans?
Not Last of the Mohicans. I just watched that when we did Blackhat. I really loved watching that.

While we await one of these guesses to be confirmed…
I loved the Grifters when I first saw it (Annette Benning - wow!). Honestly have not thought about it much since, but it brought me (back) to Jim Thompson’s novels and that was all great.
I know this is the not the case, but is it me or in the above frame, does it appear that Phil Hartman is doing some Matrix-esque maneuvers?
Sorry for the delay folks.
We have a winnar in Woolen Horde, who guessed before Kemper Boyd. It is indeed Malick’s The New World. A movie I love beyond all reason.
The forty:
sixty-one:
The eighty-whatever:
Given that this is Malick, I’m sure I could post ten more frames and still not get to the credits. But we’ll leave it at that.
You have the conch, Woolen Horde!

“He who does not work. Shall not eat.”
Yeah, that 20 was a big giveaway that it was Malick. “Wait, is that a shot, upward, into some kind of plant life? Gotta be Malick.”
Also, fun trivia: Q’orianka Kilcher’s cousin is Jewel, the singer. The resemblance is striking.
I’ll have a 20 up later.
And away we go. The 20 might be tough.
