25 of 25 · most liked firstLOVE ACTUALLY isn't a "classic" btw. It's just a crap film from 2003, like THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, or 21 GRAMS
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh wait no The Life of David Gale. Maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen
negative · AI labelView post →Also, Jesus Christ, The Life of David Gale is a dumb-as-dogshit movie. Just insultingly dumb. Takes a cause I care deeply about and in the name of advocating for it, instead pisses all over it.
negative · AI labelView post →Next up on Saturday night movie night! Gonna take a break from Sonic, loved it, and let my wife pick out another movie tonight It's one of her old favorites, and yes, we know the main guy is shit, but she really wanted me to see it for the movie The Life of David Gale, 2003
neutral · AI labelView post →one of my favorite Ebert things is his review for The Life of David Gale, a Spacey legal-ish thriller. Gave it 0 stars, but spends the entire review talking around the movie, about the setting, but not anything *in* the movie, leading the implication it got 0 stars because it was set in Texas(???)

neutral · AI labelView post →I love Alan Parker’s THE COMMITMENTS so much I went to an advance screening of his THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE with stars Kevin Spacey and Laura Linney holding a Q&A after the film. Laura must have seen the finished movie and politely bailed so it was an evening of Spacey and one of his shittiest movies.
negative · AI labelView post →Tons of great recs. A couple more that I haven’t seen mentioned… Not a thriller, but The Life of David Gale was one helluva movie. Also Sleepers. The Client. The Insider. Murder in the First. When They See Us was a miniseries that was great. About the Central Park Five.
positive · AI labelView post →Charles Randolph also wrote THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, which is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. He should be banned from all writing instruments.
negative · AI labelView post →in the Life of David Gale they call him a philosopher but he’s mewling away about psychodynamic junk — the only movie besides Agora or I Heart Huckabees that has a philosopher talk like a philosopher is The Spinning Man (2018) with Guy Pearce, but the character was loathsome, filmmakers are mean
neutral · AI labelView post →Thurs Hot Takes: 1. Halloween is fun scary; Trump is bad scary 2. The Life of David Gale is the perfect movie about execution 3. Unrest in Albania, France, and Spain are in response to greed and oligarchs 4. Odyssey 5 is more accurate now than the MSM 5. We live in the sci Fi of the past
positive · AI labelView post →For some reason I felt the need to revisit the only movie I've ever flipped off in the theater - The Life of David Gale. No, I'm not rewatching it. For now, I'll share this @michaelhobbes.bsky.social/@notalawyer.bsky.social bait ... Gale was a professor at the then-fictional University of Austin 😆
negative · AI labelView post →I have a vague recollection it was a three-word title, and the cast were well-known, but not for anything I'd have normally watched, so based on who I saw it with/when it came out, it might have been Town & Country. The worst movie I actually know I watched in theatres was The Life of David Gale.
negative · AI labelView post →The Life of David Gale. A 90s “anti-death penalty” movie that ironically makes people who are against the death penalty look like a bunch of crazy murder-suicide cultists. 🙃
negative · AI labelView post →THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE (2003) Alan Parker's final film Gale, capital punishment opponent, is on death row Notorious Ebert zero star review It's a good-looking Lifetime movie Many ludicrous things. Spacey's wig among them But Parker's filmography is full of ìdeas on social and criminal justice
neutral · AI labelView post →I think that this is a very underrated movie. Of course it has Kevin spacey who is persona non grata these days. Nevertheless, its a thought provoking (and messed up) movie. The Life of David Gale #FilmSky #MovieSky
positive · AI labelView post →Yup, like "The Life of David Gale" movie ending. Going to be epic. Air all that shit out on TV then walk out a free man
neutral · AI labelView post →Look I don’t want to be “look at this joke I made” but I did take great pride in my joke of him starring in “The Life of David Gale Again” in the most recent Movie Bully.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have a perverse soft spot for BUGSY MALONE and EVITA but they’re cancelled out by most of his other films and especially THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, the most infuriating movie I have ever watched in a theatre (thankfully it was a free advance preview).

neutral · AI labelView post →absolute zero hesitation it is The Life of David Gale, jaw droppingly stupid movie the ending of which convolutes the whole would be intention. Awful film
negative · AI labelView post →Not since the movie: the Life of David Gale had the reveal at the end left me saying WTF?! till i saw the series Presumed Innocent. Banger of a series, 10/10 no notes.
