    I’m watching The Usual Suspects and there is a shot of the World Trade Center. It makes my heart drop whenever I see them standing in all their glory in and old movie or tv show.

    The Usual Suspects. Long ago I would have called this my favourite movie, but now I find it so hard to watch knowing Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer are serial abusers. The plot is basically the main villain saying “haha, I did monstrous shit and you’ll never bring me to justice!” Funny, that.

    Found KINO LORBER's 4K of THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995) today. I've seen bits of this film, but never watched it all the way through, though I am well aware of it's reputation. Unfortunately, much like CHINATOWN it's another film tainted by heinous revelations about the people that made it. -__-

    Anyway, I see the Usual Suspects are absolutely dead-set on hating the new SUPERGIRL movie because, you know, "g-g-g-girls," so we're going to have a LAST JEDI situation where it's going to be difficult to offer up *actual* criticism without being conflated with the moronic ranting.

    I understand trying to shuffle off THE USUAL SUSPECTS to the side given Singer and Spacey (I’m not counting on any 30th anniversary celebrations), but I’m rewatching it and it’s a stone cold classic. Everything clicks here. It’s a movie where even Stephen Baldwin gives a memorable performance.

    There's a magnificent book called Round Up The Usual Suspects about the making of the film which quotes Veidt saying to a journalist that he will use all of his considerable acting talent to make sure everyone hates the Nazis just as much as he does.

    Especially impressive considering the last movie was at the center of another manufactured moral crisis by The Usual Suspects. The game features a hip, cool, disabled Catholic priest who hates Mussolini and loves jazz and you did not hear a peep about it.

    The Usual Suspects. Packed art house theater on opening weekend. We didn’t know what to expect but there was tons of buzz about the film. When it ended there was a long moment of stunned silence and then (not even gradually) a standing ovation. Best collective experience with total strangers

    It's impossible for me to say exactly what I mean, without spoiling the movie, but imagine a review of "The Usual Suspects" that says, "An okay crime caper, but mediocre acting... for example, Kevin Spacey forgets he's supposed to limp in the last scene."

    Edy Finneran in THE USUAL SUSPECTS is one of the most tragic film characters I can think of. She loved Dean Keaton, a man who was not only morally reprehensible but didn’t love her back in the same way. Her reward for working her so hard to rehabilitate Keaton’s sorry ass? A bullet to the head.
