A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Soul (2020) Well, this is just beautiful. Jamie Foxx voices a jaded middle school band teacher and would-be jazz pianist who suffers a fatal accident on the eve of his big break. (Wait, isn’t this a kids’ movie?)...

Green Room & Blue Ruin don’t precisely hit this trope, but are definitely in the area of β€œregular folks in over their heads in criminality”

The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl TΓ©treault in 2016. 

It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

I went to watch that on an outdoor screen at Glastonbury festival in 1994, the timings were completely off so we ended up watching Cool Runnings instead, which was a nice if slightly inexplicable way to spend time at a huge music festival (nb Backbeat is excellent)
