Made his film debut in PRIZZI'S HONOR (1985). THE LOVELY BONES. BIG NIGHT. THE DEVIL WEAR PRADA. THE HUNGER GAMES and many more.🎥

It's a vibrant film for such a dark story, but the vibrancy makes you feel unsettled about it. Jackson did a good job on this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Pr...

neutral · AI labelView post →“Song to the Siren” is SUCH a hauntingly beautiful song. I was first introduced to it in The Lovely Bones film years ago and it brings the deep feels every time I hear it. The fact that Caitríona associates the song with Claire and Jamie, though? 😭😭😭😭

neutral · AI labelView post →Harry Knowles gets credit for the worst film review of all time with Blade II but his review of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones might be the worst writing of all time.
neutral · AI labelView post →I couldn’t go on with the film The Lovely Bones after the first scene showed the protagonist taking “selfies” with a film camera. Back then if you wanted to take a photo of yourself you found a reflection.

neutral · AI labelView post →This reinforces my view that a bad film adaptation can damage the long-term reputation of a book. When's the last time you heard about someone reading The Lovely Bones?
neutral · AI labelView post →Film Youtube is running out of movies to talk about so now they're vaguebaiting The Lovely Bones.
neutral · AI labelView post →What is your discomfort movie? A movie you saw one time and said okay, never again? The Lovely Bones Final Destination 2 Snowpiercer I found the first two disturbing because I don't really deal well with themes of mortality or fated death! Snowpiercer is just messed up!
neutral · AI labelView post →I felt that way with The Lovely Bones. I haven’t recovered from reading it when it came out and will never watch the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →12 Years a Slave The Lovely Bones (Not a movie) but When They See Us Fruitvale probably would’ve been there too but I haven’t seen it and it just might stay that way. 😓
neutral · AI labelView post →A song you found by a TV show or film "Alice" by Cocteau Twins, from the 2009 film The Lovely Bones, starring Saoirse Ronan It delivers a back-of-the-neck-hair rippling. Delightfully creepy. youtu.be/mgaiJ-G08VY

neutral · AI labelView post →Here is a clip for comparison! musk and the character George Harvey’s sinister laugh are eerily similar. Watch previous video I posted to compare both. The move “The Lovely Bones” is heart breaking. I read the book but the movie was so hard to watch 😔
negative · AI labelView post →Has anyone ever seen the movie "The Lovely Bones" doesn't that disgusting cringe giggle/laugh of musk remind you of the Character George Harvey? Reality imitates art. please make this end—musk is literally repulsive! I’m going to add a separate clip of the movie for comparison!
neutral · AI labelView post →There were also the Peter Jackson movies "The Lovely Bones" and "Pan's Labyrinth" I've drawn inspiration from. In one movie, a young girl is murdered and her ghost watches over her family and her killer from a personal heaven, and, in the other, a young girl has a bizarre adventure in a maze.
neutral · AI labelView post →Name a movie that you liked but would never watch again. I have a few. I'll go first. 1. The Imitation Game 2. The Lady in Gold 3. We are Marshall 4. Dear Zachary 5. The Lovely Bones #movie #moviesky #film #flimsky
neutral · AI labelView post →The Lovely Bones. Haven't actually read the book, but that movie was a painful experience to get through. Peter Jackson knows how to do special effects and spends over two excruciating hours showing off all of them, even though they add little to the story which could have been told in less than half the time.
negative · AI labelView post →Worked harder than I thought I should, watched The Lovely Bones on call with some friends, had a heart to heart with a friend and am happy I did. Tomorrow, I'm hoping to see the Barbie movie. Things are looking good 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →this is not quite an answer, but I did once have a student tell me that their favorite film was "The Lovely Bones" because it Stanley Tucci was so hot in it, which, I mean, fair, but THAT movie? THAT's the movie that you found Stanley Tucci hot in? Felt like a red flag to me.
neutral · AI labelView post →This Mortal Coil's version was also used in Peter Jackson's film version of 'The Lovely Bones'. Beautifully haunting with Liz's vocals.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching a character analysis of George Harvey from the movie The Lovely Bones. It’s been 20 years and he is the creepiest SOB ever graced the screens. A job well done, Stanley Tucci 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
neutral · AI labelView post →I thought that was Ryan Gosling. He did it without the Director's permission, gained 60 pounds and was fired for it. It was for the movie "The Lovely Bones."
neutral · AI labelView post →What used to be a labyrinth now looks like the sink hole in “The Lovely Bones,” and it couldn’t be more appropriate. I hope Stanley Tucci doesn’t play #Epstein in the inevitable film because Stanley is just too good, and we don’t need that sick villain brought back to life.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love how Jeremy Piven was already so old in that movie, that he slightly resembled Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones, lol 😆
neutral · AI labelView post →Just reminds me of an interview with someone where they thought the Lovely Bones was a really avant garde film because they hadn't realised they had watched it with the DVD player on shuffle
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm done. I'm officially done. THE LOVELY BONES TO DRAG PATH???? I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY (the film is awesome please watch it)

positive · AI labelView post →Because I said The Lovely Bones was a good movie I was blocked. Yeah the movie is about a disturbing subject matter but come on now. The world today.
positive · AI labelView post →My friend was asking me what movie gave me a haunting impression and I have to admit is The Lovely Bones. I read the book when I was younger and when I watched the movie, I cried like a baby and was so mad and sad after. The music choice, the soundtrack was equally haunting.
positive · AI labelView post →WHY would anyone want to see The Lovely Bones on stage. The book and movie broke me. Okay where can I get tickets.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching The Lovely Bones for the first time. This is maybe the only movie my ex wife straight up refused to ever see because she had read the book, she told me what happened and I was like “yeah I don’t need that,” but 15 years later? Meh why not see even Stanley Tucci kill one of the Little Women?

neutral · AI labelView post →The Lovely Bones, a heartbreaking movie I can only watch once Been reading Ryan Gosling was originally supposed to play the grieving father Mark Wahlberg was fantastic in the role but now I can't help but wonder what Ryan could've been like
positive · AI labelView post →"this is great, i dont even remember what movie i picked" The Lovely Bones.
neutral · AI labelView post →Forgot to update this! Finished The Lovely Bones. Very good book. Hella heavy. Peter Jackson was the WRONG person make that movie. Read the next Dexter book, Double Dexter. The books are way more consistently good than the show. Out of the 6 books I've read, only one book was weird. 2 left!

neutral · AI labelView post →Hi Debbie. I just remembered watching a movie titled, “The Lovely Bones”, and while I wish I hadn’t, it’s bringing memories to mind of the heartache for the Guthrie’s. Sometimes it’s closer to a home location than one thinks about. 💔. I’m moving forward into the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. ☮️

neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe I’ll finally read The Lovely Bones all the way through….. been putting that one off despite loving the film :/ (Please don’t talk author discourse to me - I know, I know, but it has been sitting on my shelf unread for many years at this point)
positive · AI labelView post →Man they really made some weird choices for The Lovely Bones movie, didn’t they? Who the hell read that book and thought ‘I know, Marky Mark and Rachel Weisz?’ If ever there were roles that needed to not be filled by distractingly good looking people, it was the Salmon parents.
negative · AI labelView post →I remember my brother was like, "mom. Let's watch a movie" and this fucker brings up lovely bones. THE LOVELY BONES. THAT MOVIE SCARRED ME SINCE I WAS A PRE-TEEN AND IDK IF HE KNOWS THAT
