Angela Bettis

...

when you watch the 2002 version with Angela Bettis, who you will remember played in Girl, Interrupted, uh, she was in May, she was in ABCs of Death.

Um, you don't watch that for Angela Bettis's performance.

But she was an effective Carrie.

Yes.

Again, like I said before, the 1976 version feels the most authentic to me.

I, I don't wanna say don't watch the other two, but I will say that the original to me is, is just the best of the three films.

The 2002 version with Angela Bettis, again, she did a, a good job as Carrie, but the whole film, it just has this very made for TV movie feel to it.

That I don't think that, I don't think that, that, that Moretz does.

Angela Bettis does it a little bit in the TV remake, but not at the like...

Yeah, no, there's, not at the same level.

One of the big reasons I think that, that so many of the, the remakes and the sequel, which is definitely a thing that exists, I, I haven't necessarily hit the heights is because if, because of Spacek, because of that performance.

It's almost a, a spiritual successor to it.

Uh, and it would be 2002's "May," uh, directed by Lucky McKee.

Uh, it stars Angela Bettis, who coincidentally played Carrie White in the TV remake, the TV movie remake.

It is about...

I do like a lot of Brian Fuller's script, even though some of it is, um, has not aged well.

Um, I think, I think Angela Bettis is a really good Carrie.

I do think she's better than Chloe Grace Moretz, if only because she looks the part more than I would, I think Chloe Grace Moretz does.

Um, and I don't know.

I, I think that it is a much more effective story i- in, in that regard.

Yeah.

Um, and I also, I, I, I really like Angela Bettis as an actress.

Uh, the problem is, is that, is that she's so imprinted on me as Mae-

I keep wanna say Bassett, but I know that's [laughs] that's not right.

Bettis?

Be- yeah, something like that.

Um, someone like that with a little more gravitas, a little more subtlety-

Angela.

Yeah, Angela Bettis, yeah

... could have done with that kind of role.

And this is one really, really, really should not have been first person.

You had the Rage Carrie 2.

You had the TV movie with Angela Bettis.

You had the fucking theatrical remake with Chloe Grace Moretz.

I don't want to see no more of Carrie White, man.

I love the original film.

I loved the remake, the first remake with Angela Bettis.

I stopped watching after that because I was like, why? Why? Um, I never watched the rage carry too, because again, why, um, why would you try to improve on that diploma classic? Um, and while it is a classic and it's just carry can be told over and over depending on the generation and the time it's happening.

And I think, um, it's a strong enough story.
