Glenn Close getting great reviews for The Deliverance

If they can give that asshole Jamie Lee Curtis an Oscar, they can give Our Glenn one for this crap

I am still embarrassed for Glenn in Hillbilly Elegy.

Well strap in, r2! This one is DL gold, Jerry!

Watching it now and only for Glenn.

Deliverance? Does she get to squeal like a pig?

Again?…

Starring Academy Award Nominee...G

OMG that M/G shit is SO amusing! It's so witty and hilarious every single time!

They gave Glenn a line toward the end of the movie...I have no words. I won't say more so I don't spoil it, suffice it to say, she goes full Linda Blair.

Does she need the paycheck? It's shocking but also hilarious that she did this movie.

Who plays the Ned Beatty role opposite her sodomizing hillbilly character?

Somebody's mother sucks cocks in hell?

The comments on social media from Black folks are hilarious. Honestly, ordinary Black people in the comments section are funnier than 90% of the practicing comedians.

R6. Glad you enjoy.

The return of hagsploitation?

Unfortunately the M/G troll who's been plaguing DL for years has yet to be strangled to death from his latest piece of rough trade picked up at the bus station.

I got a feeling Andra Day will get an Oscar nomination.

A lot of parallels between Andra Day and Janelle Monae, I think. Both talented, successful singers who also happen to be very gifted, natural actresses.

Stuntcasting.

Sad.

“I can smell your nappy pussy.”

R10 sho do luv her Redd Foxx albums.

Is Glenn okay? First the weird JD Vance movie, and now I assume she'll be squealing like a pig in this "Deliverance" remake. Does she need a 5150 call?

At this stage, if Glenn gets an Oscar nomination, she really should just tell the Academy to go fuck itself.

The SHITSHOW is getting raggedy ass reviews.

IT IS DOA- like Glenn's taste in roles!

The little boy takes a shit in the classroom and throws poop at the teacher’s face.

This is based on a true story.

Just go there and honorary Oscar on the live broadcast. Presentation by Cher, Jodie Foster, and Olivia Coleman. Ratings through the roof.

Is the film eligible for Oscars. Isn't it just a Netflix movie?

I've always loved Glenn. I think she is a phenomenal actress. I look forward to seeing this.

- Not M, obviously.

No makeup is a brave choice.

And a revolting one.

Oh Glenn. This makes Trog look like Citizen Kane.

[quote] Is the film eligible for Oscars. Isn't it just a Netflix movie?

Streaming films are eligible. They changed the rules years ago.

Fuck Lee Daniels!

Is this the new Mommie Dearest??

New York Times

Close’s Alberta commands the most outlandish scenes. Sashaying in a peekaboo hot-pink bra and a pair of jeans so ripped they’d burst if she sneezed, Close has a blast seducing her chemotherapy nurse (Omar Epps) and hissing a jaw-dropping zinger calculated to bring down the house.

I remember reading about these young black girls in a class who were talking about issues of race and other things maybe 10 years ago. They said they wouldn’t want to be white because they’d always have to be perfect and look like Barbie dolls.

That's interesting r32.

Glenn is the Jan Brady of actresses.

What's the opposite of Oscar-bait?

Oscar-repulse.

[quote] Unfortunately the M/G troll who's been plaguing DL for years

You can't really be dumb enough to think that's the work of one poster, can you?

She might finally win a Razzie

"I can smell your nappy pussy from here" is going viral. Go, Glenn, go!

I hope she's nominated for something. The only thing interesting about the Oscars left is whether or not she wins. Otherwise it is all yawn.

She really, truly deserves (and should have long ago won) and Oscar. She's given several performances where she was completely robbed. They're just playing in her face at this point.

R41 what year did she give the BEST performance out of all nominees?

r42 You could argue that in 1982, 1987 and 1988 she gave the best performance of the nominees.

R43 I would respectfully disagree, I would contend at least one other actress in each category gave a more impressive performance (not necessarily the winner though). But it's all subjective

They should have given it to her for The Wife and given Olivia Colman the supporting Oscar. Emma Stone wanting to be in supporting messed that whole year up. She was the lead of The Favourite.

1987 should have been hers. I'm glad for Cher, but Glenn's performance in Fatal Attraction is iconic an is still discussed today.

Then someone’s mother. Then you’re camp.

Dangerous Liaisons. Her performance is spectacular.

R45 why did Emma want to go supporting? I think you can't choose where they stick you at The Oscars, they choose for you

Just wondering how hard up for the money she is...

I’m really not sure why this is being seen as a “true departure” for Ms. Close. Sure, she perhaps is a little less trashy in this role as she is in real life, but I really can’t see that much of a difference. She looks and acts this way in real life, for at least the last 30 years or so. Perhaps she actually bathed for this role, which would indeed be a vast departure for Ms. Close.

It sucks that we can't have a real discussion about Glenn Close on this board because of the M/G bullshit.

This movie looks absolutely horrendous but I will be watching for the pure camp appeal. Glenn Close telling her daughter she can "smell her nappy pussy"? Sold.

R52 = Glenn

R52 quit whining, of course we can. What's on your mind petal?

We live in a world where Goop has an Oscar and Glenn does not. Make that make sense.

She was excellent in "Garp," but the nominations for "The Big Chill" and "The Natural" were puzzling.

[QUOTE] Glenn Close telling her daughter she can "smell her nappy pussy"? Sold.

She actually says it to Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor‘s character, not Andra Day’s (who plays Glenn’s daughter).

Bitches- How is the rest of Glenn's (sure to be Oscar nominated) speech not gaining traction?

"And you- you little half breed whore

I should have flushed your ass down the toilet when you were just a BLOODCLOT!!!"

How much did they pay Glenn for this?

Does Glenn have a gambling addiction or Beanie Baby collector disease?

Holy FUCK.

[QUOTE] She was excellent in "Garp," but the nominations for "The Big Chill" and "The Natural" were puzzling.

I think it was a combination of appearing in some very popular movies back to back (both “Chill” and “The Natural” were big hits) and just being on a roll with the Academy.

She makes the most impression out of the three main female performances in “The Natural” (Barbara Hershey and Kim Basinger being the other two) and gets the real sentimental gut punch at the end when she gives Redford the news that they share a son while he’s on the field.

I honestly think she had her best chance with “Garp.” And obviously she was second to Olivia Colman that year she lost for “The Wife.”

Yeah out of all her nominations I'd actually say Garp should have won. Jessica Lange win for both Tootsie & Frances because no one was beating Streep for Sophie's Choice

Her Alex Forrest is one of the greatest performances by an actress in a film. She should've tied with Cher.

Okay- I just finished this-

Sadly, there is a good film in there somewhere.

I really liked the family and the family stuff prior to the 'horror" shit (which is ironic, because I love horror films- let me once against plug the original Speak No Evil!)

The horror shit is trite as fuck. The only parts that work are the "Glenn parts" Every single frame you have seen before, and done better.

Andra is awesome. Glenn is awesome..

The film is so campy that glenn and Andra watch Valley Of The Dolls!

I also loved how Andra's family was "Hollywood Poor"- their house was awesome- even the bathroom was cool- yet, we are supposed to believe that they are poor.

5.5/10 due to the performances and the camp. The last 30 minutes utterly sucks- its just not scary.

Aunjanue. AUNJANUE FFS

Has Glenn close entered her FUCK IT stage? Her WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE phase? Does she owe a huge tax bill? Why this crap?

Glenn is near 80, and I imagine that roles have dried up for her at this stage of her career.

R66 So travel. Write your memoirs. Smell the roses. Reflect. Teach. Stop making shitty movies ffs.

I liked this movie, and to see Glenn play a slutty grandma still chasing dick in tight clothes and push-up bra is worth it.

[quote]You could argue that in 1982, 1987 and 1988 she gave the best performance of the nominees.

I would have put her at fourth for Garp. She was not better than Kim Stanley, Lesley Ann warren and Teri Garr. (To say nothing of Karen Black and Lainie Kazan who weren't even nominated)

She was not better than Jodie Foster in The Accused. I would have put her in second that year.

I go back and forth between Cher and her for 87. She's great in Fatal Attraction, but that cheapie ending really stick out like a sore thumb. Had they went with the original ending, she would have deserved it hands down. Cher's work is just great, and the movie is like something Audrey or Katharine Hepburn would have done in the 50's. Just a lovely romance.

At least she's not reduced to having someone fart in her face like Meryl on that TV show she's doing.

They should have just given it to her for "Albert Nobbs" and called it a day. I never saw it, but who did?

Glenn is primarily known as the biggest actor loser for an Oscar. At her age, I can’t imagine she is offered anything good.

Teri Garr should've won that year for Tootsie. She was marvelous.

R48 is correct. Glenn was robbed.

"Nobbs" was almost as bad as "The Wife."

She wasn't even nominated for Reversal of Fortune but gave an oscar worthy performance, in my opinion. I must revisit that movie one of these days, I quite liked it and haven't seen it in many years.

Wasn't she comatose in that movie?

I wonder if Peter O’Toole and Glenn Close had similar likability issues. Admired but never chosen to win.

Glenn was fucking everything as Sunny.

"I don't want this! I don't want THIS!"

Sunny's pills

R79...Oofa

r49 the Academy seems to go by the For Your Consideration advertising. The Favourite advertised Stone and Weisz as supporting and Colman as lead. As the biggest star in the film Stone I assume got first pick where she wanted to be advertised. Lead actress was more competitive so she went supporting.

The only time in recent years the Academy went against the advertising was Kate Winslet in The Reader.

You are all a bunch of blood clots.

A burning question

Glenn has a great leading role in the upcoming film adaptation of Tove Jansson's beautiful novel "The Summer Book." If the film is any good, she should be finally getting her Best Actress Oscar for that. At this point, if she gets nominated for Best Actress again, I don't think even a surprise home run performance like Olivia Colman's in "The Favourite" could keep her from winning.

[quote] Glenn was fucking everything as Sunny.

"Say something! Do something! Be a man! I already have a butler!"

She had such amazing lines in that movie, and did them full justice,

I don’t care what anyone says. G is the greatest actress of all time.

Reversal of Fortune should've concentrated on Claus and Sunny with Dershowitz as a minor character. Having Ron Silver as Dershowitz taking up half the screen time was a mistake. It was all about Glenn and Jeremy Irons, they were both mesmerizing.

[quote] We live in a world where Jamie Lee Curtis has an Oscar and Glenn does not. Make that make sense.

Semi-FIFY. Because both are correct.

R84 😂. I’m betting she is talking about her daughter so she seen it. Glenn’s character in this film reminds me of the grandmother of a childhood buddy in NW DC. People used to say their house was haunted. I feel so ignorant. I should have defended my friend because my high saddity black friends would call them poor white trash just because they were the only white family who refused to move in an all black block. Now that I think back they couldn’t have been poor and they certainly weren’t trash. Everyone on that block owned their own home.

Listen. Give her an Oscar. Please.

From an all black block rather. I realize my message cold be confusing.

[QUOTE] I’m betting she is talking about her daughter so she seen it.

Wrong. She’s talking about Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor‘s pussy, not Andra Day’s (her daughter).

There are tons of roles for actors and actresses in their 70s. Everyone is in the same position now thanks to streaming. The only movies that make money are comic books. This film is the caliber of film everyone is getting offered these days. Television has better roles for everyone.

Glenn is getting her own tv show and has other movies lined up. She’s doing better than those in their 20s and 30s. This film sucks but most films do today. This film has a bunch of Oscar winners in it and Lee Daniels is behind it. It looks good on paper.

R93 😂 oh. Not sista girl from Undercover brother.

[QUOTE] This film has a bunch of Oscar winners in it and Lee Daniels is behind it. It looks good on paper.

One Oscar winner (Mo’Nique) and three nominees (Close, Ellis-Taylor, Day).

Let’s not get sloppy with facts.

R96 Lawdy lawd you are tedious. He is saying it’s a prestige project with acclaimed talent.

I’m just being accurate. I’m sorry that offends your delicate sensibilities. We know what he is “saying” but we all appreciate your translation.

Glenn is never winning an Oscar. Dream on.

R98 😂. Nice trolling. Fuck outta here.

Girl, stating FACTS is not trolling. Are you KellyAnne?

I'm going to watch this, just to see this scene. Glenn is tearing this up. Good for her.

R102 Who but G. She can play any role and body it.

Just give this movie every award. Best Costume too.

R89 Jamie Lee have a career defining performance in a totally original movie, It was nothing short of brilliant.

She hands down deserved that award. A truly unsung actress.

She’s trash.

Glenn Close ‘Had No Clue’

R105 = Jamie Lee Curtis

She is a DLer quoting Helen Lawson

Just give Close all the awards. No one will be able top this performance.

R110 All the clips seem good. I’m going to watch it later.

Glenn is pulling up to 80 years old but damn if she doesn't look more like late 50s in this movie.

I know it's all makeup (and lighting) and I know what she looks like without makeup. But still.

Critics are so snobby towards working class Americans unless they are just shown as complete downtrodden victims. This film is probably good.

😮

R100. No trolling says the Queen of the Trolls, Teafake.

Well I watched this tonight and I believe the official term is camp classic. It's a shame it's not getting a cinema release as it would be a fantastic communal experience.

The scene with Monique in the hospital was a moment as well.

I'd hate to see Glenn finally win the Oscar for some crap though. Of course it's ridiculous that she doesn't have one when so many lesser performers do, but she's one of the greatest ever.

Yes there were some obvious Oscar bait movies like Paradise Road, The Safety Of Objects and Evening, and she was fantastic in them all, but she's also had fun with roles in smaller films like The Girl With All The Gifts which most people have never heard of.

R115 Once again get you a cow and some bells. Then proceed.

R117. I think these bells I have would fit you...now slither away.

R118 For one why are you so upset. For 2 why do you still think I’m white.

R119, for FUCK's sake!!! If you spell out "ONE," you should spell out "TWO." Additionally, for laughs, let's add COMMAS after both those numerical distinctions!

R119. I think you're white because you are white. Nothing more, nothing less.

She kind of looks like a hooker

You really need a psychiatric evaluation and possiblly a male escort. Shit sad at this point.

I think Teacake could be the "ancient white fags" poster who was finally outed as an older white Canadian man.

R114 well you think wrong cause I’m not.

R124*. Fuck.

Teacake is the kook of a hundred screennames

R124. That's him. You're absolutely right. Canadians are usually so much smarter though than what he portrays on a constant basis. Maybe he really is a good "actor"! I will take his advice though and get a "male escort" tonight. That's how they refer to those types in Canada.

R128 I am not Canadian and I’m not ancientwhitefag. I bet you my fkin stalker so where I mentioned loving Victoria Canada and thinks I’m him. Kick mafuckin rocks. I am Teacake, and Blackmussy.

r128 Muriel really needs to ban him. He's a total nuisance, posts in nearly every thread with his insane ramblings and seems to be on here all day every day.

R129. Duh.

R130. Those Canadian days can be very cold. Maybe he can't leave the house due to the climate?

I can’t remember the last time I posted on DL from a desktop or even laptop.

R133. But, still, it's from Canada.

Anyway, to get back to the subject at hand, I think Glenn is having the last laugh with this. No one has talked about her more over the span of two days than now. It's keeping her relevant...Moreno than dancing " Da Butt" at an Oscar ceremony.

I wouldn't exactly say great reviews.

Certainly she's being NOTICED.

The movie is pretty creepy but it’s hard to take Glenn’s character seriously. The woman who plays the mom did an excellent job.

Is it me or is this just Lee Daniels doing Ryan Murphy, a la American Horror Story? Instead of Jessica Lange playing a sleazy hag it's Glenn Close, who isn't nearly as convincing in such a role.

R137 I don’t really see it. They both deal with horror elements but none of Lange’s characters in a self contained miniseries are like G in this film. They are both aging boomer actresses who at some point were critically acclaimed leading ladies. That’s as far the comparison to me. Furthermore AHS was very much a career revitalization for Lange while G has never not been A list since becoming a leading lady in the late 80s.

Glenn and cast having a good time

Is a shaved pussy still able to be both nappy and stinky?

Someone on Twitter posted that Glenn now has a standing invitation to every black cookout in America for the rest of her days. 😂

I can smell her pussy, too.

I wish Barbra would get out from behind the counter of her Doll Shoppe and surprise her fans with an out there performance like this.

It would be great if Barbra did some more film roles. But she's super old-school and won't do any streaming stuff, she's a MOVIE STAR and will only do theatrical movies. It's a shame, but she's still clinging to all of that "movie stars don't do tv" shit, which is so out of date now.

If Barbra had played Alberta she could have had her first rap crossover hit with “Nappy Pussy (Love Theme from The Deliverance).”

R145. "Nappy Pussy" could appear on the next "Wet" Album. That's a good idea...

Even Meryl has done Netflix FFS. Barbra needs to get with the times. She's a great comedic actress.

[quote] She's a great comedic actress.

WAS. That abomination she shat out with Seth Rogan many moons ago was proof she lost it.

R148. Bette, is it true you smoke?

Is it time to spoil this amazing line? I'd like to know, without having to watch.

If Glenn wants an Oscar she can do something about slaves, cancer or the Holocaust, like everybody else.

So long as it's not the courageous nude scene trick.

It will be interesting to see how her performance translates during awards season, mainly because, as mentioned in several social media posts, the role Glenn is playing is one very familiar to many black moviegoers but may be foreign to white audiences. The fact that Glenn nailed it works for one group, while the other group may see it as camp or parody. Plus, it's a horror movie that was just okay, except for Glenn's performance.

[quote]If Glenn wants an Oscar she can do something about slaves, cancer or the Holocaust, like everybody else.

This movie ticks one of those boxes boo.

Her daughter calls her a Karen.

I remember when Glenn got her facelift. It was around the time of Albert Nobbs. She still had a bit of a Joker smile on her from it.

The black community online is raving about Glenn and is checking out her entire filmography. They love her.

R150 it's been posted several times in this thread.

Barbra is sort of retired now. I think her willingness to perform in any medium is gone, and at this point her persona so overwhelms any role she'd be asked to play that it's hard to see her as anything other than The Barbra Streisand.

Glenn's line

If she wins the BET Award she’ll be an inch away from a BEGOT.

Lee Daniels responds

MizzMichelle @ATLBravesfan199

Sir, you had THE Glenn Close in a 26 piece wig, doing a sew-in on the porch in the hood, the secret service needs to get involved at this point. 😂😂

Lee Daniels @leedanielsent This tweet could be an ad 😂😂😂

Must be Monique made up with Lee Daniels

This just all feels like Joan Crawford’s “William Castle Era”.

She can probably get a nomination for this and possibly win.

It's not like there's any frontrunners yet.

Haven't seen it. What are the odds of this being the one she finally gets an Oscar for?

LOVE the scene where Glenn's braiding Andra's while they're watching Valley of the Dolls on TV. It's a scene with Neely and Helen and G & A recite the dialogue in unison!

The only nomination Glenn will get is a Razzie.

At least she didn't get her win for playing J.D. Vance's meemaw. The Academy at least granted her that small grace.

For the first time ever, I think Glenn was thrilled to lose that night, R170.

[Quote] If Barbra had played Alberta she could have had her first rap crossover hit with “Nappy Pussy (Love Theme from The Deliverance).”

Brilliant since she already sang “Mammaries, like the corners of mind”

R157 “the black community” as in a few black people online? A lot of white people are speaking about it too and black people know who she is.

Barbra could direct Airport 2025. A private jet hangs perilously over the edge of her Malibu estate clifftop and the passengers include her old pals Nick Nolte, Mandy Patinkin, Jeff Bridges, and Robert Redford, with Gaga as the air hostess.

Glenn fucked a couch in one of her films, or so I read in the trades?

The most embarrassing of her roles was Maxi when a 1920's flapper takes over her body. Seriously.

r174 that is actually a brilliant idea for a movie! I would pay $$$ to see that.

Audiences would demand Mandy get killed off pretty quickly.

[quote]LOVE the scene where Glenn's braiding Andra's while they're watching Valley of the Dolls on TV. It's a scene with Neely and Helen and G & A recite the dialogue in unison!

The daughter joins in too! A performance worthy of a Datalounger.

Airport 2025 would work best as a musical.

She’s in black face on the poster!

R179 you’re easily impressed, huh?

People on TikTok say she deserves an Oscar for this

People on TikTok are dumb.

It’s a weak year. She could actually get a nomination.

“It’s a weak year”

We are in September. The majority of Oscar contenders start coming out in November-early January.

R186, I have friends who are at all the film festivals and giving me live updates of this year’s offerings.

By September, Oscar prognosticators know a lot more than run-of-the-mill people like you.

It’s a weak-ish year with no juggernauts which could actually result in some interesting, unexpected nominations.

R187 no. You don’t. Only a handful of films get screened at each festival. Most of the films coming out have yet to be seen. Save your lies for someone who doesn’t actually know people involved in films.

It is a weak year and that will be proven out. Feel free to revisit this thread in six months.

[quote]Close has a blast seducing her chemotherapy nurse

Who feels sexy during chemo?

Andra Day is very good. As is Glenn. This movie does not suck.

R191 The movie sucks beyond suck. It's like Madea Meets the Amityville Horror Meets The Exorcist.

Glenn is sure to get a Razzie nomination for this turkey.

I have a VERY high tolerance for black camp.

The film is silly but entertaining and the performances are actually good

"I can smell my nappy Razzie"

R192 There is nothing Madea-ish about this film. You must just be fucked up in the head and any depiction of black folks together unless it is just completely upper middle class you think Madea.

Linda Blair got an Oscar nomination for The Exorcist.

Not sure you can call movies on Netflix ‘hits’ but I expect this has been seen by more people than that film about the film or that lesbian swimmer story or that gay composer movie or that gay cowboy story or the film where that nasty woman steals the doll or the one with the Mexican nanny.

R197 what does Linda Blair’s nomination have to do with this? The Exorcist was a massive hit both commercially and critically and was a cultural phenomenon. It was the very first film of its kind. It was groundbreaking at the time.

It also received numerous Oscar nominations.

R198 right I’m a bit confused about that. I’m pretty sure Deliverance will debut at number 1 of most streamed.

Melissa McCarthy got nominated for shitting in a bathroom sink.

Glenn could get a nomination.

And Frances picked up a surprise third for shitting in a bucket!

I hate to bring race into this, but even though the character is white, many white people will not get or understand the character that Glenn so fully embodied. They'll think it's camp or parody or whatever. Glenn nailed this character, but because it will make some people uncomfortable, she won't get a nomination, and they'll hide behind the fact that it's not a great movie or horror. This is a particular type of character, and not many actresses of Glenn's standing would have taken on this part. This performance could have quickly gone sideways, but it didn't, and she's brilliant.

R202 I wouldn’t call Glenn brilliant in it, but she was game for a role like this, and she brought it. 30 years ago she probably would have thrown the script in the trash, but money is money, and I think Glenn loves working, especially for actresses in their 70s when there’s not much decent material for this age range out there. I still hate to see her win for something like this on her 9th nomination, just like winning for the Hillbilly movie. Still wanting her to win for Sunset.

R202 you are right on. You’d have to be a specific type of white person from black centered cities like Cleveland, DC, Atlanta, Compton, Baltimore to get it.

She'll never win for Sunset because it will never get made. There's no audience, it's a downer, she can't really sing and even if she could, she's thirty year past the character. After Nicole Scherzinger sings it this fall, Glenn's legendary turn will seem like silent film.

Funny how just 50 was considered "old" back then.

R206 because people live longer now. That’s why 50 is considered younger now.

I came across this today. Funny and brilliant. After The Deliverance it is now official. Glenn Close is the Beyoncé Knowles Carter of acting. To be the Beyonce of any craft is to simply exude excellence and with unparalleled gravitas.

R208. Where have you been for 37 years?

R209 I’m not sure I was even alive when that aired.

[quote]Nice trolling. Fuck outta here.

This coming from the trolliest troll who parks here 24/7.

I NEED A FUCKIN OSCAR IN MY NAPPY PUSSY !

Spoiler -

Spoiler -

There is no inquest about the dead preacher woman on the floor, after the exorcism? How is that explained away? What about the vast sink hole in the basement floor? Does the devil seal that after the demon goes down?

I'm assuming that this was highly dramatized version of the "real" story.

[quote] Glenn Close is the Beyoncé Knowles Carter of acting.

Bullshit. Glenn Close can read.

R215 Of course. But according to the real life people, even social workers bizarre shit was happening, and the kid really did crawl up the wall. Either that or the mama gave the child some PCP and told him to wild the fuck out.

R216 You are a whole idiot.

R218. As opposed to a "quarter" idiot...

Mafuckin!’

Beyonce isn't the sharpest tack in the box. She's rarely interviewed and when she is, it's tightly controlled by her team. Nothing off the cuff or spontaneous.

It is what it is.

R221. Not to mention her stomach folds in like foam rubber.

R221 There are countless examples of her being spontaneous. What she doesn’t do is run that mouth or “clap back” on social media. She is brilliant.

Are we sure the film is eligible for film awards?

None of the awards sites even have it listed as a possibility.

"awards sites"?

Yes awards sites. There are tons of them. Awardsdaily, Gold Derby etc.

The make Oscar predictions all year long.

how grim

R15 They are similar. But to me Andra Day is much more of a vocal powerhouse in the line of Phylis Hyman, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion. Not to diminish Janelle’s voice. She is a competent singer but is more of an Artiste. They are musically opposite. I like Janelle’s music better; Janelle being a very much an alternative type artist. Andra just never broke through for one- that kind of music is dead unless you are Adele and tastes are so fragmented nowadays. I also think Andra is the better actress. I also don’t believe she is gay and Janelle is. Janelle is naturally prettier to me.

To me Andra Day looks like Rihanna’s ugly sister. Which is saying a lot because Rihanna is beautiful and Andra ain’t ugly.

Teacake you are not black. Please stop, you are humiliating yourself even more than usual.

It was entertaining but true events? No.

The troll who pretends to be black is mentally ill and has zero life offline. No way can it post under so many different names all day, every day. It literally never seems to sleep. A sure sign of mental illness.

R241 Bitch I can go 2 days without posting here and I ain’t pretending. Im posting from my smart phone even when I’m out about. Whenever I switch names is because a gump or gumps FF’d me to death. I won’t be here after November. Trust and believe

R241 and insomnia is not a mental illness you retard.

insomnia is different from mental illness but you are mentally ill, doll.

Gone in November? Promise? Doubtful.

Like I said ho. Muriel knows the mafuckin truth. She can clearly see that I’m not defacto, y’all be saying he from Pittsburgh . Or Greg, whom I adored, who claimed to be from Boston. She can see the Ip addresses location. That gives me peace of mind.

Never said you were "mafuckin" defacto, troll. You're obviously not smart enough to tell posters apart.

Me thinks you protest too much though.

🤔 Now why would a troll jump to Defacto and Gerg when the person addressing it didn't mention those two? Hmm, let us think.

No.

How can we?

It's borderline blackface, what she's doing in that movie.

How so R249? She's playing a white woman.

I have enjoyed the film, personally. The ending is a bit weak, as if they had run out of money and been forced to rush the conclusion, leaving several ends loose. However, the characters are well developed and I have liked the fact that the social worker's and medical staff's reactions are believable - from the outside, the events could be seen as the product of extreme familial dysfunction, but in reality what is happening is the product of an evil spirit's infestation. The acting is superb, by the way: everyone does a stellar job. It's not an Oscar-worthy film by any stretch of the imagination, but the acting and directing are truly excellent.

As for Glenn, the promotional shots looked really artificial, as if she had been wearing a costume, but once you get to see her on film, everything makes sense and she truly embodies this trashy, rough around the edges, formerly crazy, but ultimately well-meaning woman. She is an excellent actress. By the way, Andra Day and Mo'Nique are also wonderful, and I cannot believe that they aren't superstars.

Oh, dear!

Glenn looked terrifying in the bald scenes.

R250. Yeah, but she is definitely "shuckin' and jivin'" her way through the performance.

She doesn't "shuck and jive" in one single scene in this movie. You're an idiot.

R254 has not even seen the film. I wouldn’t bother talking to it.

Who is giving her rave reviews except op?

R257

TEAFAKE IS A POX ON DL

Glenn should have won the Oscar for Fatal Attraction. Her second should have been Dangerous Liaisons.

Well, she'll win for Sunset Blvd., and that part seems closest to her.

I like holierthanthou and teacake. I don’t get the obsessive hatred

I like him too, he's DL's lovable little minstrel. Very entertaining.

He's a white dude cosplaying a shuck and jive nig. Very entertaining!

Well yeah, that's what I meant.

It was awful.

R22, Life is full of grotesque moments. Doesn't make them art others want to observe.

Lord, deliver us from this shitty movie.

This piece of shit movie has gotten so much love from DL. The quality posters have died or moved on. Back in the day this would've been a blip and nothing more.

R269, Then, give your critique. We're all waiting.

Someone here has been trying hard to make this movie happen, R269. I posted in one of the other dozens of threads started about it over the weekend that this is a dull movie with almost none of the camp value being claimed here. It does have a few moments, but that's a matter of minutes in a two-hour stretch. The acting is probably the strongest aspect of the movie, which keeps it from camp territory. Glenn's performance is nowhere near as over the top as some would have us believe, her turn as a demon notwithstanding.

r271 Fran Lebowitz was right. All the good fags died and we're left with the detrius.

[quote]I like holierthanthou and teacake. I don’t get the obsessive hatred.

It gives certain posters an excuse to spew racist BS.

[quote]I like holierthanthou and teacake. I don’t get the obsessive hatred.

They used to post that about someone else, now mercifully gone.

^Who, Janbot? He’s not gone.

The Boston hot air fryer, R275.

Oh Glarg, that guy.

R273, that teacup creature and his alter egos is the racist.

Genn's a wigga, sometimes without the wig!
