PWD PWD 1029: Getting Rubbed The Wrong Way By Keith Lee

[RollSonnenRoll]

Yea, once I realized what his fate was gonna be, I started flashing back through the movie and was smiling from ear to ear at how masterfully the filmmakers set us up from the very beginning and was replaying each step in my head as I watched

Spoiler

his final descent into madness

I cant say enough about that setting, I love the whole vibe of old timey county fairs because I know theyre filled with weirdos and interesting stories and this was my perfect vision of that

This whole movie just impressed the shit outta me, so well done

I’m so glad they spent so much time in the carnival. It was great storytelling and crucial to everything but I could so see a studio executive like “First act drags, can we get that carnival part where he’s learning down to about 10 minutes?!”

"His words, not mine"

 

[Stargazer Rex]

I appreciate his kind words about me. I heard he said the same about you and @Dr Strange Rex

It’s a movie. Came out last year when a lot of theatres were first opening again and most still closed so it really went under the radar. Especially considering its a big name director like Del Toro and A list star with Bradley Cooper

Didnt help that they released it on the same day as Spiderman, no movie couldve overcame that avalanche

I remember reading that theaters were cancelling Nightmare Alley showings so they could schedule more Spiderman viewings

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Everything about it was so beautiful
I like watching old timey movies cause I enjoy seeing how everyone overdramatizes every movement and every sentence, everything is just a little fancier in those old films and Cate Blanchett captured that perfectly in all her scenes

I could pace around that room for hours thinking about Rex things that the average person would go mad from, Roll. Mad!

I like that it’s such a rich environment but also something unsettling about it at the same time. Overloook Hotel-esque, Joe!

I feel I need to check this movie out tonight, Mr Roll. Not tomorrow, not next week. TONIGHT!

I love old timey county fairs so much that I watched an episode of Little House On The Prairie this morning where the whole family went to a day at the fair and hijinks ensued!
I was quite entertained by it

I give it my Official 7 Thumbs Up Highest Recommendation, Rex

This movie is so good that Im almost tempted to break my own rules and go higher than 7 but I know we have rules in place for a reason and I must respect that, unlike that fuckin Dave Meltzer and his rankings of pure anarchy

I would be very interested to hear the hidden symbolism Rex take

Im checking it out tonight. I just read a brief description of the movie:

"In 1940s New York, down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle endears himself to a clairvoyant and her mentalist husband at a traveling carnival."

They had me at "clairvoyant", jack.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

I would be very interested to hear the hidden symbolism Rex take

There will be some too, Roll. I know it!

@My Spot the rest of series 1 was released
They got Dibiase in his cowboy gear from when he teamed with Stan Hansen in All Japan
Thats not the gimmick I expected but I dig it, shows a lot of respect for the history of this fine business

 

[Pittie Petey]

Wouldve liked to have seen Kerry in his Yellow Rose Of Texas robe that he wore the day he beat Flair for the title

I dont care about Lou Thesz or Verne Gagne but here they are

Bronn is gonna get him up to 4 plates by Spring Break.

And those ladies better be glad that Mandy has got a home gym now or she would’ve taken their ass to school!

Why can't Keith just speak normally. His utterances often err on the side of the pretentiously circumlocutious.

He wants to be known as an intellectual giant but all it's going take is one person calling him the Eloquent Elephant and he's either buried or they're making foam ear headbands for merch.
