National Review ^ | 10/03/2019 | Kyle Smith

Blue Velvet is still the most unsettling movie I have ever seen.

[blueunicorn6]

Ummmmmm.....

It’s fiction.

I’m sure it’s an interesting and riveting movie, but it also sounds rather depressing. I don’t need to pay movie fare just to feel down. There are times when I’m open to exploring The Blues of life, but when done in a unique and uncommon way.

Hollywood is about to release another violent, sadistic, revenge-fantasy instruction video on how to commit mass murder.

When the next mass murder happens, Hollywood will blame the NRA.

And they call it "art".

[Mariner]

This movie is renowned to be a masterpiece that welcomes the viewer to hell.

I will definitely see it at the theater.

And I will definitely sit toward the back...packing.

"Set in a 1981 urban Hell piled up with garbage and over run with rats..."

Baltimore? Could be any Dem controlled city.

budget cuts for social workers...

is the blame in the movie.

That’s IT for me right there :)

I don’t support BS

[tbw2]

This is liberal wishful thinking. That if only we educated, loved on, lectured, hectored and nannied enough, there would be no one sad, criminal or evil.

Red Flag all ticket buyers.....

Very likely to be a stupid shooter at the theatres this weekend. This is tailor made for monter energy chugging juggalo halfwits to go bonkers to.

[Salamander]

Have you seen “Buried”?

It’s a runner-up, at least.

[Mr. K]

The most unsettling thing about it is the horribly aging Joaquin Phoenix

[bwest]

Agreed. And I really like David Lynch.

[lee martell]

Steven King just turned around;
‘Did somebody just say “IT”?
I just got a notification!’

[Theo]

So were Jesus’ parables. Doesn’t make the story any less powerful.

[Raymann]

Didn’t need to read the review. Just seeing de Niro was in it is enough for me to nope.

[minnesota_bound]

Even in California a nut like the Joker would be locked up walking around in that makeup. Well maybe....
