The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 118

You're doing a good job of spreading the love.

I wish there were more to talk about tonight.

That's great to hear - it's been a long time since I've seen it myself, but certain images really stick in my mind, like the spider web in the foreground as the kids float down the river. That whole sequence is probably the most haunting for me.

As we discussed when this first came up, I don't think of this as strictly film noir. It seems to belong in a category of its own. Unfortunately it was not at all appreciated in its own time, so this is the only film Charles Laughton, who was well known as an actor, got to direct. I always remember stories like that when something I really like isn't received well.

That was great. I was really impressed by Laughton's directorial choices in general. I'm not sure if you'll remember this specific scene, but having Harry and Ms. Cooper sing the religious hymn in unison while divided by the wall of the house was another one of those haunting effects.

Heh, I don't even remember having that discussion. It's amazing how I can retain an ungodly amount of memories about a few select people or things, but when it comes to remembering things in general, I'm not so good.

Anyway, thanks again for recommending the film. It's always great to see not only a good movie, but one that is truly outstanding and unique in so many aspects.

You really should. We tend to like similar things, so I have no doubt that you'll at least appreciate it, even if you don't find that the style of film is exactly for you.

Angela, thanks for the heads up. At first I thought you got confused because I know adam-pascal.com is also changing layouts, but you're right. For the main page Cassie is now using an interesting picture from the WeSparkle benefit, in which Adam looks out directly with that slightly challenging gaze he has.

I'm going to post a few pictures from Night of the Hunter in a moment. The cinematography is outstanding.

Sorry Amber, I'm the last person to ask about hairstyles. Wait, one thing comes to mind - the Vermont Country Store, which carries all kinds of old-fashioned stuff, has a French Hair Roll. It's a form you can use to wrap around the lower base of your head. Here's the page:

ETA: except you probably don't have enough time to get it from them - sorry!

Night of the Hunter images:

Looks like a cool movie Chloe. The screencaps are beautiful.

I'm not a fan of the new layout over at Adam Pascal Online. I just don't like that picture of him, it's not the best. =/
