Who saw Hailey’s new movie “Sinners”

[C.Biscuit97]

Just saw it. Loved it. And there is going to be some memes at the expense of Josh because of some of Hailee’s scenes. But she does a great job

Both of my sons saw it, both highly recommended it.  My oldest saw it twice already. Both specifically told me I need to see it. My youngest told me I'd like it because it has a ot of blues music in it.  I know it takes place in 1930's Mississippi, so yeah, I figured the blues would come into play.

 

But they really liked it.

If you like old blues, stay for the extras after the credits.

I think it’s common knowledge that blues music is the favorite music genre of vampires everywhere. 

 

I read that somewhere. Or maybe wrote it. 

 

I’ll try to find some of her work that does not involve vampires, it’s just not my thing. Serious question, is there another movie of hers people might recommend? I would like to see her in action.

Anything anyone would recommend?

Have not seen it. I will not see it. Just dont want to see her in that light

I literally don't go to see movies, or watch them at home. The last movie I saw was the first Stars Wars with Rey in it. My step kids are Star Wars nerds, and it was a family event.

Heard it was weird and vampire laden … I’ll pass

True Grit is awesome.

 

She was great.  Jeff Bridges was better than John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn.

Barry Pepper was a good villain.  

 

Hallie ultimately stole the show.

The Coen Brothers' version of True Grit is a masterpiece, in my opinion, and she was the highlight (alongside a great Jeff Bridges). There's a reason she got an Oscar nomination for it.

Thanks, maybe I’ll do that tonight with the wife. I was just flipping around and came across 3 Days To Kill with Hailee and Kevin Costner so I’m getting my first taste now.

there have been legends about blues music and supernatural stuff for years. The vampire stuff is actually a fairly small part of the story as there is a lot of character development. But it’s not for everyone.

My kid saw it and said it was great. Wants to see it again so I’ll probably go. Anyone see it? I feel obligated since it is Mrs. 17. 

You know who else is in it?  my wife's cousin.  Im not much on vampire/horror movies but I think we'll go see it before the family reunion

I saw it this weekend, really liked it.  Buddy probably didn't need much make up at the end, considering he's nearly 90.  Still really good to see him.

 

A few thoughts:

 

-Like many, I'm surprised about how popular it is.  Blues, esp. old time Delta Blues isn't very popular these days.  And it was heavy in the music, but even more heavy in the background build up to it.  Meaning, things like the street scenes in the first part of the movie were probably pretty historically accurate for 1930s Clarksdale MS.  And unless a blues guitarist at that time was lucky enough to be recorded, their audience was basically by playing on a street corner or playing in a juke joint;

 

-It reminds me a bit of Unforgiven in the sense that people told Clint Eastwood that no one was going to see a western.  Sometimes a good script, good acting and good direction overcomes a genre that is considered dead, or gone.  

 

-I'd guess a majority of of viewers don't know the origin of the dual role Michael B. Jordan's names.  I know my youngest didn't.  I told him he's heard the origin of the names.  Its my ringtone:

 

-The one thing I thought they could have added was a quick cameo of the Robert Johnson deal with the devil event.  Something simple like a car driving down the road, on the way to the juke joint, and passing by Robert Johnson at a crossroads, playing his guitar.  Considering it was early 1930's Clarkdale, and that is where his deal happened, it would have fit.

 

-Hailee had the line of the movie when she blurted out, "This isn't what it looks like".  (I won't give the context so its not a spoiler).  I burst out laughing when she said it.

 

********************SPOILER ALERT*****************************

 

the vampire River Dance scene was the creepiest scene in the movie.  It just was.
