molly's game, the 2nd viewing

i didn't love it the first time, but i liked a lot more this time (i rewatched over the weekend)

 

(spoilers, kinda)

elba is great, the sorkin comes through (as per usual), and i felt like chastain bothered me a little less this time thru.  i'm not sure what the real molly bloom is like in real life, but i originally found chastain very smug.  there were too many scenes where she had her shit together while a bunch of drunks and degenerates threw themselves at her (but later we find out she was high on adderall/blow/speed/whatever much of the time, which makes those scenes a little less believable, but whatevs).  i also think she definitely hooked up with someone at some point, but that's neither here nor there.  also the costner end scene didn't bother me much this time through, i actually kinda liked it.

and this may go down with many others as one of the great sorkin scenes/speeches (maybe i should put together a list, i've got spare time).

Agreed, I am friends with one of the actors and got to go to an advanced screening which was fun but maybe the pre-movie excitement was too much to really get into the film.  Second watching I liked it even more.

Curiously, Chastain is pretty mesmerizing as an actress and i really like her but I can not decide if I think she is hot or not.  She is certainly attractive but, for me, not that arousing.

I dont understand the "She's got them big titties and if you didn't like it you're a nancy boy!" line of thought. If I want to see a movie I watch a movie. If I want to see tits I'll go to pornhub where such things will be served up in short order.
 
Having said that, this is a pretty solid movie.
 
 


Maybe Idris Elba’s more your type
