positive · AI labelView post →At one point in Shining Through by Susan Isaacs (which I bought because the movie was so bad I had to understand how it got made), the heroine (a former secretary from Queens turned spy) is in Berlin looking at ordinary Germans and wonders “could Americans ever be so scared their insides died?”
neutral · AI labelView post →I know. It’s just naturally Shining Through, a movie starring Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas
neutral · AI labelView post →In this vein, I recommend the awful 1973 movie Mahogany with Tony Perkins + Diana Ross. The song is better than the movie, but a weed gummy and a pizza and it's also hilariously terrible. Shining Through with Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas for a terrible WW2 'thriller.' Poor Mel. She's BAD.
negative · AI labelView post →Part of this plan is not anticipating my next movie. Took some time but decided on Shining Through - haven’t seen it in years but in the spirit of Passover it may be warranted. I hope it doesn’t make me cry. Progress, and Pagan mercifully moved.
neutral · AI labelView post →That’s clearly someone who is unfamiliar with Shining Through. Is the movie good? No. Is it amazing that they were able to pull an actual storyline out of that book? It sure is.
negative · AI labelView post →First heard this maybe 30 years ago in a horrible movie called “Shining Through” (but great book) and have loved ever since. Well played!
positive · AI labelView post →Her stuff is a bit older, tho she's still writing. A few have been made into movies - Compromising Positions, Shining Through, After All These Years, Hello Again I've liked most of her books, but her mysteries feel the strongest - nice characters and dialogue. She should've worked more in film lol
neutral · AI labelView post →I wish someone would make a proper movie of Shining Through. It's a funny, rousing story that I picture starring Ginger Rogers, Robert Taylor, and Spencer Tracy.
neutral · AI labelView post →I worked at a movie theater in high school in the early 1990s and so saw a lot of bad movies, but either Shining Through or Arlington Road tops my list.
negative · AI labelView post →I mean the movies Shining Through and Arlington Road exist and can be watched. If you’re saying a movie is the worst script of all time, you’re saying you’ve seen those movies (a modern critic probably hasn’t) and the new movie is worse (it’s almost certainly not).
neutral · AI labelView post →The GOP are literally like the Nazis in the movie Shining Through (1992) with Melanie Griffith. She was Nazi friends in the community, but when the Nazi military started looking for her, they got scared and wouldn't open their door to her.
