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?
re: Brennan versus Jackson yes, that's an astute point. The trial was about Boston vs. Outsiders. Karen Read wasn't from Massachusetts either. Ordinary people are not always happy about the good old boy culture, the dynasties. The locals in the legal and law enforcement world would not go against other Bostonians normally to defend someone who killed one of their own. It was significant in how all the cops would try get her convicted and lined up for the prosecution. |
I totally enjoyed Kill The Irishman, @slaw , I think I may have commented on it after I watched it. I don't think I finished Iceman. Maybe it was too depressing for me, I cannot remember. @gano , this is my last casting suggestion--I promise. I know you aren't into a start-studded production, but I was watching Very Scary People on HLN a while ago (they were doing a doc on BTK) with Donnie Wahlberg narrating, and I couldn't help but thinking he (Wahlberg) might be a good Hank Brennan. A Bostonian who doesn't present as exceptionally flashy, and he sort of has Brennan's look. Put him in an expensive suit and have his hair styled immaculately and I think he could pull it off. |
@immatthewj do not stop with casting suggestions. I enjoy shooting them down :) I thought the Wahlbergs will enter the picture, eventually, as they should. I think Donnie could pull it off... |
In that case, @gano : we have got to give Rebecca Pidgeon a part! She is from Cambridge and she is not exactly what most would consider a big name. I see a few roles she could play that include Jen McCabe or Kerry Roberts. She is way too old for the part, but I think she would really crush the part of the Canton cop who got hired by the Boston PD, Kelly Devers. I think Rebecca Pidgeon could recreate that hostile witness attitude, but, as I typed, she is too old. Back to Brennan--I know you are going to shoot this one down, but I bet Matt Dillon would fit in real well for that. But he is not from Boston. . . . Maybe Brennan would agree to play himself?
