@JanneFantastic Blink was is soo good. Which is weird to say considering the subject. But a damn fine showing.

@Scofisticated I loved it. It might not completely hold up script-wise but it delivered so hard on cinematic storytelling. Just the color choices was 100%.

@JanneFantastic The Color!! Great use of color.

What do you think is up about the script?

@Scofisticated It takes some unnecessary turns that I didn't feel was needed as it just made the plot a little bit too convoluted and forcing characters to jump through hoops to get them where they already were. (I don't want to mention spoilers so I am being a bit vague.)

Let's just say that I would've preferred if it was their first trip.

@JanneFantastic I thought Stewart was awkward in Spencer. Maybe not in the way they wanted. But she was fantastic in 'Lies Bleeding. So was the rest of the movie. Ed Harris had that silly hair on, but he gave me chills of fear the whole movie.

@Scofisticated I honestly disliked her in Spencer, but she CAN be really good - like in this or Runaways.

@JanneFantastic (Looks up Runaways) 😵 What!!? Stewart as Joan Jett? That's fucking genius! I cant believe I didnt know about this. Thank you for letting me know.

@Scofisticated Flawless casting in a solid film. I hope you'll like it!

@JanneFantastic Longlegs was very uncomfortable. But I think for all the reasons it intended. I'll say this, it was uncomfortable to watch. But thinking about the ploting with distance, it's quite interesting.

And I'll also tip my hat. Cause that level of intentional creep-atude takes skill. And it had it did it well.
