I toured for years in your Show Boat and made the movie and you thought I was just fine as Magnolia? Now this!'" —Irene Dunne on not being offered The King and I

neutral · AI labelView post →#WeaponsMovie is beyond messed up & I loved every second of it. It's Magnolia the horror movie, as multiple characters circle a big, creepy mystery. Bit of a slow burn, but it pays off in huge, awesome, gory, disturbing ways. Less shocking than Barbarian, but much better.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cruise is really good at selecting roles. He manages to play a pretty diverse set of characters while never hewing away from the "handsome movie star" paradigm. Gotta throw MAGNOLIA in there too for a very rare ensemble Cruise performance that was perfectly calibrated for him
neutral · AI labelView post →Contrary to statements made today by Press Secretary Katherine Leavitt, possession of this film is not indicative of organized crime or terrorist activity. Disney expects a robust apology and the swift return of Susan Clark (Magnolia Clydesdale).

neutral · AI labelView post →Favorite movie from 1999? At the time i probably would have said Dogma. Maybe Magnolia if i was trying to show off. Run Lola Run was a top contender. As was every movie in the quote chain before this. So many great movies from 1999, seriously But by Grabthar’s Hammer… i think this is it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched the movie Magnolia and I am reminded of that Family Guy skit where Peter talks about how The Godfather “insists upon itself.” This is how I feel about this movie. I really enjoyed it……. But it Insists Upon Itself.
neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of MAGNOLIA boxd.it/bA0gtP Roller coaster of heightened drama & impassioned performances plays like symphony of escalating tension. Interwoven stories build in passion, are edited together perfectly & are bound by terrific score. Wild swing by Anderson, out of the park! #filmsky 📽

positive · AI labelView post →I think anthology films like MAGNOLIA (and lets be honest, it's an anthology) are always really hard to title. I like it though! Do you ever forget what that movie's called? When you hear "MAGNOLIA" do you think about that movie? It really works for me. bsky.app/profile/chat...

neutral · AI labelView post →I think about the opening sequence in the film, Magnolia often. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a little vignette about inconceivable coincidences in history. This isn’t a spoiler. Magnolia isn’t a film you could possibly spoil and the intro isn’t directly germane to the plot. It’s a magnificent movie.
