I thought it was a great example of Stockholm Syndrome – one of the best I’ve ever seen in a film. Also what happens to her firmly established that Redford’s character is not a hero, even if he is the protagonist.
It’s one of the best depictions of so-called non-violent rape too, something rarely seen in films this unambiguously.
I feel “Rubicon” was a very smart show but had a very slow burn. I think in the streaming age it could have survived.
Absolutely. Everyone I tried to get to watch it said it was “too slow” but I loved it.
Almost every criticism I’ve read brings that up. I agree that it might go over better if Netflix picked it up*, so that people could binge. It’s amazing that it was only nine years ago, and viewing habits have changed so much.
*Not that They would ever allow it. 
Saw Hereditary last night… And THAT scene… WITAF!?! We had to stop watching for a few after that. if you’ve seen it, you KNOW the one I mean. Right up there with the curbing scene in American history X only about a billion times worse. But for all that, the very ending was… kind of meh conventional, with the followers sort of worshiping Peter/Paimo or whatever… the mom sawing off her own head was pretty nutso, though. I kind of feel like they blew their horrific load in the first half hour of the movie… though it’s one of those scenes I will likely never forget.
I mean, HOLY SHIT!!!
I don’t; but that movie is on my list, and so I’ll find out soon.
At this point Archer is more like an anthology show with the same cast every year. I don’t think they’re going back to Espionage World. This season is supposed to be a parody of Alien.
Kidnapping victim has Hollywood amnesia. Plenty of red herrings and unreliable narrators. Probably somebody in the main cast is secretly a villain. Whatever 
yeah, i have to agree. i’m very weary of re-litigating every moment of the past. i don’t mind them updating the characters for current values, but it’s also true that we know what we’re getting with him – he’s an international spy and playboy.
Just be prepared… it’s… horrific.
Seems ok so far. Not all of the currently in print Criterion films are currently available, I couldn’t find Do the Right Thing or Brakhage. Plays fairly well, but you’ve got to be able to be in or fake being in the US or Canada.

I wonder if it’s only coincidence that the main baddie in the new iteration of Hanna looks like Stephen Miller?
I think a lot of baddies in TV & movies look a lot like him. Especially portraying German officers during the early 1940s.
I just binge-watched the first 11 episodes of Outlander. Now all my internal self-talk has a Scottish accent.
Lucifer fans, take note:
So I’m going to have to subscribe to Netflix before May 8… at least for long enough to watch those 10 episodes.
I can’t find the official tweet, but it was brilliant.
“Today, Satan.”
i’ve been laughing about this all day. YES PLEASE
