A Time to Kill

I thought that was a good example where she could have been so incredible it's perfect role for her and yet it was a disaster i can't get

into baby girl i'll talk about it all day it was a disaster of a film i know but she's so unemotional and i i i understand the pressures obviously in hollywood and women of aging but at the same time i do feel it's disappointing when actresses with the kind of power she could age she could she like yeah like she's up there she doesn't need to the top of Hollywood like the it's not about how she looks it's more about how she allows herself to be presented because there was a massive magazine spread for this that she did a September issue and I think it might have been Vanity Fair but do not quote me on it and people have been like she's stretching the incredulous incredulous like she's photoshopped into oblivion like it could be any one of those photos and that's where i think it's no it's one thing like you know whatever you look like whatever you've done to your face but it's another thing to allow your image to be put out in the world like that that's so disingenuous that really frustrates me with her but i'm dying to see her now when i go this weekend to the second one because can she be sexy and fun anymore like has she lost that or not or she really so stiff which i don't put all down to the face work it's something just different about how she holds herself because dave and i watched batman forever on patreon a year or two ago and she's so sexy in that as well you're really interesting years do you know what it's a great rewatch it's an absolute great rewatch um where sandra bullock obviously cream of the queen of the rom-com then even though she was like yeah more that like later on in the 90s but And like she's in serious roles like A Time to Kill.

She's a huge star in this film.

She really in both the film and the book I think is the core character.

I would agree.

I think especially in the 90s, movies like The Net and A Time to Kill and Miss Congeniality.

I

was going to say, you're not even naming her big hits.

That's created the whole lynching narrative, or it's wrote on the back of the Nolan Wells murder conspiracy.

And now, apparently, if you listen to people, you would think that Mississippi is ate up with lynchings of black people by random white people running around in old pickup trucks with a piece of hay sticking out their mouth, wearing a cut-off button-down flannel shirt, looking like an extra from A Time to Kill, as I discussed yesterday.

I mean, Sean, you know, that's what they think when they tell you there's white people going around lynching blacks and Jackson, you know, that's what they think.

It's like that scene from a time to kill when they kidnapped Samuel L. Jackson's daughter.

What those what those boys look like.

Yeah, that's it.

I have been proud of my titling, especially today.

A Time to Kill was mentioned.

One of my subheaders.

And callbacks in the article was mentioned.

And I'm going to tell you what they think it looks like, because everything is based off stuff they've seen on movies.

What they think it looks like is, remember that scene from A Time to Kill? When the two redneck boys were sitting there about to kidnap Samuel L.

Jackson's daughter and they were sitting there in their old beat up old body style F-150 or F-100 or old square body.

And he's got a piece of hay sticking out his mouth and some chew in it.

It didn't do very well.

And as they were getting ready for home video release – Their two stars all of a sudden blew up because Time to Kill and Jerry Maguire had come out by 96.

So both of them are famous.

Yes.

Dylan, what's your number two?

My number two is A Time to Kill.

Which is a Robert Grisham novel, I think.

No, it's not Robert Grisham.
