Gonna go see The Thing in the theater tonight
"struggled to compete with Pulp Fiction" is certainly a phrase that shouldn't count against a film!
Strange Days is a classic?
I thought of it as a bit too clunky in its execution. But I'll admit Juliette Lewis has always been a distractingly terrible actor in my eyes. And she can't sing either.
I will admit it's good enough to deserve a better reception than it's theatrical release though.
It's better as the sum of its parts. The lead performances were meh but the supporting cast were great.
Juliette Lewis's best singing and acting were in one movie.
When I was 18, I was slinging tapes as a Blockbuster assistant manager, and my go-to recommendation for customers was Strange Days. Then at age 40, I finally realized I was trans, and somewhere down the line it occurred to me that my love of this film should have been a clue.
That's awesome! Glad you found yourself. Not everyone does.
