Share a ‘90s movie you think deserves more love.
Nobody’s Fool (1994).
I’m hard pressed to think of any movie that *feels* more like a novel.
Just dropped in a town of fully realized characters, floating along through their days, the depth is subtext and the charm palpable.

Haven’t seen this in 22 years and I think my original assessment holds true, dumb.
Twist just does not work for me.
Would have preferred if it was ‘They’re all dead! And this rained out motel is Hell’s waiting room, populated by monsters with an appointment for ETERNITY.’

Magenta is the most cosmic color because there is no wavelength of light that corresponds to that particular color. Our brains just sort of fill in the gaps to make sense of it.
Which is why, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space" is pink/magenta.
