Also, I there was the threat of going on too long, and I didn't want to drag things out more than necessary. I'm still turning the "Misery" angle over in my head, though I'm not sure if anything will come of it.PrisonerNumber6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03156430802462353459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917612005522287441.post-24544137329360177292018-10-15T01:46:15.936-05:002018-10-15T01:46:15.936-05:00I've never seen "Play Misty For Me."...I've never seen "Play Misty For Me." It's on my list, though, so someday, maybe.<br /><br />A very interesting way to look at "101 Dalmatians." I can't speak to the Eastwood film at all, but I have seen both the original and the remake of "Cape Fear," and I can see a sort of similarity with Cruella. Both she and Max are presented as larger-than-life foes; if they have nothing else in common, they have that. It would be very easy for Max to turn the corner into being a non-literal cartoon; heck, DeNiro's take on Cady all by makes that idea plain (even including direct references to the Big Bad Wolf).<br /><br />Great stuff here, #6!Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.com
