Lawless
Directed by John Hillcoat
In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Virginia, run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business — bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest is the brain of the operation; older Howard is the brawn, and younger Jack, the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman from Chicago arrives and tries to shut… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I got to see a pre-release screening of Pike River last night. Had a moment of, oh shit it's Helen Kelly, then another moment of LUCY LAWLESS! The film does a great job of showing how spineless the mine management and John Key's govt was, and the local misogyny faced by Anna and Sonya.
positive · AI labelView post →Even for noir, this film gets violent very quickly. During a *manicure*???? I can think of films that get violent during a haircut (Fly by Night), a shave (A Lawless Street, The Enforcer), and even a visit to a steam room (Eastern Promises) – but a manicure? 🤷♂️ #TheNoirCollective #TheChase

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched The Lawless Breed (1952). It’s a Western biopic of John Wesley Hardin (best known for the album that misspells his name). Kind of generic, I’m afraid, especially for a Raoul Walsh film. And Rock’s way too pretty to play a badass outlaw type. Nice to see Julie Adams again though!
negative · AI labelView post →It’s rare for a book to bridge pop culture (American Psycho and the Barbie movie) and the toughest constitutional questions, but @leahlitman.bsky.social nails it on The Oath and the Office as she discusses her brilliant book, Lawless. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
neutral · AI labelView post →Count me as another to assent to Matt's recommendation of THE WEIGHT. While my track record for strong predictions isn't 100% (did LAWLESS ever become the classic I thought it would?), this is the kind of movie that will be discussed long after this year's "award contenders" have fallen away.

I directed Kevin Kline to the restroom I ordered food for John Leguizamo I rode the elevator with Dennis Leary I directed Lucy Lawless toward the elevator I spoke to Gilbert Gottfried I walked by Meryl Streep outside
neutral · AI labelView post →Obsession was the most uncomfortable movie ever. Shoutout my diva Megan Lawless you look so familiar. One of my top horror movies tho
positive · AI labelView post →Saturday Afternoon Matinee: EUROTRIP (2004). Ostensibly a raunchy comedy, this remains a wildly funny, surprisingly sweet cult film with a genuine, beating heart. Great turn by Lucy Lawless as a Dutch dominatrix, and the song "Scotty Doesn't Know" is an all-timer earworm. #filmsky

Robert Englund/Freddy Kreuger, Buffy the vampire slayer, Angel, Elvis Presley, Britney Spears. Or any Horror movie lovers go right ahead and add me. I'll add you back!!❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →Spider-man's so cool that Lucy Lawless is just in the movie for 15 seconds talking about how it would be hot if he had 8 legs. Beast mode media. Incredibly sick.
positive · AI labelView post →I have just scripted a Nanoview (ALL HAIL @suede.bsky.social!!) which includes this line "Also nudity, there is a lot of nudity. Its not often you see Lucy Lawless play someone even more naked than Lucretia in Spartacus but there she is.. behind all that censoring. " BUT WHAT FILM IS IT?!!?!
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: Before getting her own series, Xena made her debut in a three-episode arc on HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS. Vanessa Angel was the original choice to play her, but when the actress became too ill to fly to New Zealand to film, Lucy Lawless was cast instead. (IMDB) 🖤

positive · AI labelView post →Watched Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man because it counts as a Thanksgiving movie It was great except for when they played a Nickelback song at the end Also I did not remember Lucy Lawless (aka Xena Warrior Princess!) makes a cameo as the random punk girl who says “eight legs? That’s kinda hot”

Fourth, as journalism is increasingly degraded it will be good to be reminded why its honesty and courage matter. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/no...?
neutral · AI labelView post →Jinsei arrived. Was curious how this release would turn out, considering Kino Lorber hasn't done an anime release in 10+ years, and I'd never heard of Greenwich Entertainment. Disc is fine far as I can tell, but barebones, JP audio w/ EN/FR/SP subs, plus the Lawless Love short film. No disc credits.

neutral · AI labelView post →Also, this movie is VERY early aughts, from the soundtrack to the scene chewing, to the firearm selection. The "Lawless" universe is darker and has more militarized cops with M4s that have modular shotgun system attachments. While the "good" universe has cops with G-36s. lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lucy Lawless makes her directorial debut with NEVER LOOK AWAY, a documentary about trailblazing warzone camerawoman Margaret Moth. Lawless makes some bold choices but the material, and sometimes the lack thereof, makes the film a bit difficult.
neutral · AI labelView post →The liminal state of social media between famous and not-famous is so funny to me. Like, sure, Megan Lawless is in a horror movie that is a cultural phenomenon and trending towards $100M, AND ALSO, she hasn’t deleted her LinkedIn page yet.
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly a big part of what makes Raimi-man so good is him populating the film with one-off cameos from like, Lawless or Jim Norton or Joey Diaz. Makes it feel like like an ensemble cast of New York oddballs.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tribune film/tv critic @ninametz.bsky.social talks about movies that instead should've have been series, and series that would've been better off as movies. Saw the '12 film Lawless last night. 2hrs wasn't enuf time for all that talent: Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Guy Pierce, etc. Shoulda been a series.
