Speaking of Steve Carrel....check out Foxcatcher.
Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

I totally agree, @slaw ! Foxcatcher was one of my previous picks. Besides Steve Carrel’s excellent portrayal of the increasingly unhinged heir to the Dupont family fortune, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum were good together as David and Mark Schultz (Olympic wrestlers). I didn’t know it until I googled it a while back ago, but the surviving brother, Mark Schultz, played a role in the movie as a weigh in official. But Steve Carrel was great in that one--he is versatile. |
Okay, @thecarpathian , I was not aware of that, and I will look for that from now on. As I typed, if he did, that was not a part that I remember. But I can see where it could have been worked in. Basically he plays the role of this teenager’s mentor/role model for the summer. As I typed, he is a water-park employee, and as such he acts goofy and irresponsible and he plays pranks and can be quick with one liners and he has a relationship going on with the female manager of the water-park, so I can see where having a scene where he does some type of dance (I would think it would have been an exhibition of silliness) could have happened. |
