    This comes a bit out of nowhere, and is for a VERY limited audience, but highly recommend that for any indie film makers out there, you include language in your contract that there is a path to buying back or regaining your film after a certain amount of time. It’s my one regret with MUTE.

    Robert L. Pike’s Mute Witness was the source material for the Steve McQueen film Bullitt. In the book the main character is named Clancy not Bullitt, and the lead villain is named Rossi not Ross.

    Yeah, if my first encounter with you is your thread slagging on some beloved book/movie/song/ice cream flavor totally unprompted… there’s a good chance you snag an immediate “MUTE” tag. These are the rules.

    Imminently, it is #monsterdon time, and I think I'll join in. Be warned my toots for the next hour or two will be considerably more annoying than normal if you're not watching tonight's movie presentation, so #MUTE if you wish to save your timeline.

    And if you've never seen MUTE WITNESS, I think it'll make a killer double feature. An FX artist stumbles onto a snuff film disguised as a porno and sees something she shouldn't... But she can't talk! She's a........... MUTE WITNESS!

    Would also help to promote the powers of the Mute Text & Tags. I have avoided spoilers on every movie I wanted to see this year on this site. It's super effective but I feel it never gets talked about enough

    @manmademoon.bsky.social so I finally got around to watching MUTE (I know, I know- sorry so late). Understand, I think Moon is probably the greatest sci-fi film so far in the 20th century. Anyway, another tremendous film. Love cyberpunk genre and this was a banger!

    🎬 REEL FILM TIP — 001 Mute the audio and watch the cut. Without dialogue or music carrying the scene, pacing problems get exposed fast. If the picture works silently, the sound can make it stronger. Fix picture before sound. #IndieFilmProfessor #Filmmaking #FilmEditing #PostProduction

    A long sad drive home down I-75 south tonight past rest stops made famous in the movie "What About Mary", but being cheered by national news. Not listening though. Mute is good.

    The best Paul Rudd performance was in that movie MUTE! a Netflix sci-fi futuristic film. He was a real piece of shit in it, and he played that part to perfection. Matter of fact, it took me a while to realize that was Paul Rudd! He should’ve got a Golden Globe or something!

    Bit of a long shot, but does anyone recall articles about the (crap) portrayal of mutism in 2018's Mute? I'm struggling to find anything beyond a brief mention of it in addition to more general critiques of the film. Certainly nothing like all the thinkpieces on Nyong'o & vocal disorders?

    MUTE WITNESS (1995): Wanted to see this since seeing Siskel & Ebert review it in '95. Worth the wait! A low-budget Hitchcockian cat & mouse act with multiple great set pieces, especially the extended chase scene around the movie set. Via @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K UHD. #HHype2026 Pt II

    "...Oh this is like Blade Runner but Blade Runner was better so that means this is bad". Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
