This factoid inspired by Ross v Ross’ post (and new series) “RvReprieve.” The writers consider granting unfairly trashed movies a second chance. They started with “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” a movie which star Shia LaBeouf has publicly condemned.
However, I didn’t exactly read the post well enough before I started writing the factoid. I assumed they were just talking about movies that they had decided to give a second chance.
Wrong.
But nevertheless, I still want to make my factoid today about giving movies a second chance. Often times, when I don’t feel the love that others feel for a certain movie, I’ll give it a second watch. Sometimes I still hate it. But others, I wind up finding something that I hadn’t discovered before.
Such was the case when I rewatched “Michael Clayton,” a 2007 Best Picture nominee. I’ll save the specifics for a later post, but know that I think it’s never a bad idea to give movies a second watch.
Marshall and the Movies 
yeah second watch is always crucial. wouldnt love half the movies i do had i not watched them a second time. have only watching MC once though and thought it was just okay, nothing special. maybe its time for a second viewing
‘The writers consider granting unfairly trashed movies a second chance’
I think you got it right first time Marshall!
That was my description of what you all ACTUALLY do; my description of what I THOUGHT you were doing was “just talking about movies that they had decided to give a second chance.”
Great movie
I seem to appreciate MC more with each viewing, and it started from a pretty high point with me. Very solid drama with a short but sweet payoff. I just love the mood Gilroy sets for it throughout.
