  1. Winston T. Boogie

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    I think the aspect of the picture that was meant to be unique to this tale was that it was not a biopic, it is an imagining of what may have been going through Marilyn's head at various points in her life. So, I think the picture is not so much just designed to show us her as a victim as to give...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    He says that he intended to offend audiences and seems to have succeeded in the US. I think if you make a picture to offend people and you do...well...probably not going to be very popular. I was not offended by the picture, I just at my age have found enough sad things in the world not to...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    Well, I don't know. I think what people probably would not like about the film is they have an image/idea of Monroe in their head and this picture is a sad story about her where you see her as troubled and abused. It's a downer film and downer films are not going to have wide popularity. It's...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    She is really great in it, Jerry, to the extent that I would say watching it just for her performance is worth your time. However, I am going to admit that I found the story depressing. It is not the story of a girl that grows up to live out her dreams. It is about a woman that had a nightmarish...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    I think this is the issue most will have with it. It is an uncomfortable picture about a beloved movie star that is about how terrible her life and state of mind were. It is not a happy film by any stretch and not something most people will enjoy. That said, I think it is a damn fine picture...

    I like the way Ana looks but hey, I admit I adore her.

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    So, this is something you are not alone in thinking, that they intentionally created this controversy to get the picture some press. I'm fine with that if they did as films that are arty and made for adults have a hard time in the marketplace so if the idea was to give the film a boost, great...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    Well, there is "sexual content" that the director states could/will be seen as offensive and disturbing. So, in part it is the nature of the content and how it is presented. It would seem that it will not just be topless or bottomless people but rather scenes which depict things people are not...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    Well, my guess is it will not be a picture nominated for Oscars but until we see it that is hard to judge. I am not sure if the rating will be a factor as I think Academy voters would not care too much about that, they nominate pictures few people have seen so it could get nominated. It is about...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    I would think it should not matter. Basically, ratings were to gauge who could purchase a ticket to see a film in a theater. At home I suppose the rating is for a person to decide if they want to allow their children to watch it or perhaps who they watch the picture with. Some people are...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    I am guessing you mean as a competitive entry at a festival. I would think your picture could be shown at a festival and that would be festival specific.

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    So, here's the recent quote from Dominik... “Netflix is letting me release the movie I wanted to make, and even with the NC-17 rating, I think that’s pretty good,” Dominik told Collider. As many suspected, “Blonde” has been ready for some time (since July 2021) and could have conceivably...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    Ha, the rumor is Netflix was shocked when they saw the film. I've heard some descriptions of scenes in it and I would guess they were not expecting those. I guess for some reason, but this sounds unlikely, Netflix expected some kind of normal biopic of Monroe. However, they got a sexually...

    Netflix Blonde (2022)

    Apparently, this has been rated NC-17 for heavy graphic sexual content. The rating has caused Netflix to delay the picture as Dominik does not want his cut of the film altered in any way. So, it is off the 2021 slate and now pushed to sometime potentially in 2022 as they fight over cutting the...
