The script was like a lynchian horror induced fantasy tale. Beautiful and scary.

One of the best scripts I've ever read. Dominik will knock this one out of the park if he gets the chance.

Dominik is such a master. Chopper was one of those rare films that had me wanting to stand up and applaud each scene as it unspooled. And Jesse James, wow. Now I've got to wait four months for Killing Them Softly, aaarrgghh!

It would be tragic if the insulting portrait of MM in MWWM was the last word on the subject. She was a complex woman worthy of a complex biopic.

Blonde is a fantastic book, but utterly depressing. Monroe's life was pretty hellish and Oates presents probably the worst possible scenario for every situation (though to her credit, probably not far from the truth). It's fascinating but will make for a difficult watch. I think there was actually a shitty TV adaptation of it back in the '90s with the Home Improvement mom playing Marilyn's batshit crazy mother. Still, Dominik's passion and talent has me overlooking the fact that I may have a gun in my mouth by the time the credits roll.
