Kathleen should have had the Oscar for this. I would have given Mink Stoke a BSA mom just for the courthouse scene.

Kathleen didn't even get a GG nom and it's one of the funniest female performances ever

The movie was considered pretty harsh and brash when it came out. I think that’s why Turner got no recognition

Apparently, Julie Andrews and Susan Sarandon were considered for the Beverly Sutphin part. Julie was absolutely not interested, while Sue was, but her asking price was too high. Others considered were Mary Tyler Moore and Jessica Lange. I don't know if Julie or Mary would've worked out as well as Kathleen, but their casting would've been inspired. Imagine either one of them clubbing a woman to death with a leg of lamb.

Ultimately, it came down to Kathleen and Cybill Shepherd, but John Waters didn't think Cybill looked enough like Ricki Lake, who had already been cast (As if Kathleen Turner does??).

Cate Blanchett has tried to play kooky housewives. She's done it several times (Bandits, The Gift, Where'd You Go, Bernadette?). They are some of her worst roles. She's a fine villain, and she's a mother in real life, but she just doesn't click with audiences as a housewife. Kathleen Turner barely pulled it off too, thanks to her established career as an alpha-female who did her own stunts.

Kathleen Turner's then-husband was big in NYC real estate, and was nearly prosecuted when a building he managed was the site of an arson fire that killed 87 Hondurans having an Easter party. The club inside the building was unlicensed, and the building's fire safety equipment was lacking. Jay Weiss was never indicted, but it stained his reputation right as his wife was at her peak. Turner made things worse with the media when she offered a flip comment: "The fire was unfortunate, but could've happened at a McDonald's!"

R116, it depends on which incarnation of TBoMC you mean. An earlier incarnation had Robert Redford and Jessica Lange as the possible leads, with Sydney Pollack directing. When Pollack dropped out, Redford was out, and Clint was in, with Bruce Beresford directing. Supposedly, Beresford wasn't keen on Lange because she had earlier badmouthed him during the filming of "Crimes of the Heart," and wanted someone European. Eastwood and Beresford clashed repeatedly over the script, casting, direction, and a fed up Beresford bailed, leaving Eastwood to direct himself and his #1 choice, Meryl Streep.

My younger sister is very prim and conservative, but when we were kids she had absolutely no shame when it came to making prank calls. I was always too big of a wuss to make them myself, so I would egg her on and give her suggestions.

One time I put her up to calling Mrs. H., a PTA mom in my seventh-grade class who was loathed by the other moms (including mine) because she was a bossy, know-it-all cunt. So Sis, who was all of 11 at the time, called and asked in a husky, breathy voice if she could speak to Mrs. H.'s husband. When she said he couldn't come to the phone, Sis said, "Please tell him that his girlfriend called."

Of course, Mrs. H. went apeshit, to which Sis replied, "You're just like he said you were." When she demanded to know what he had said about her, Sis said, "Oh, nothing, just that you're fat, ugly, and hell to live with." Mrs. H. hung up and we laughed ourselves silly. (Fortunately, this was the late '70s and there was no caller ID yet.)

I think Sigourney Weaver could have done a good job as Beverly, but she's not as naturally campy as Turner.

I found the movie deeply unsatisfying as the Mink Stole character was not killed off in a grease fire.

Mink Stole sports a Marcia Clark perm in Serial Mom. Was this deliberate or did people look like that in the early 90ies?

by Anonymousreply 147August 8, 2022 4:37 PM

R147 The film was made before the OJ Trial, so it had nothing to do with Marcia Clark.

But yes, many women did wear their hair like that in the early 90s.

R137 I didn't think Kathleen looked fat at all, she looked great for a woman in her mid-40s. This is the same year M did The River Wild and was probably in the best shape of her life. She piled on the pounds after to play curvy Italian Francesca in Madison County the following year.

[quote] Is this the Cocksucker residence?

Mink’s character should have said, “yes it is” without missing a beat, adding “this is Ballcupper Cocksucker, how may I be of assistance?”

This was funny but I think Mink’s short one-way phone call in desperate living is far funnier and more demented.

Serial Mom does resonate though, because inside all of us is a serial mom waiting to get out.

R78, I’ve often wondered what sort of wizard Waters is to get performers to do those things in his pictures. I don’t think that little middle-aged lady was even an actress, just a wife and homemaker. And yet there she is onscreen doing that deeply perverted thing. 🤔

We need a sequel. That movie leaves so many questions unanswered. Did she get away with the murder of the juror? Why was Rosemary not punished for littering? I'd have her choke on a Franklin Mint Faberge egg.

In fact, we need a mini-series!!! Didn't Waters advocate for tat too? Let'c campaign!

Of course not, always talentless, by the 90s she was also starting to become the hideous hag she is today. I don't even remember her in Seral Mom," unsurprising. Three's Company" was possibly the dumbest sitcom ever.

I liked Rosemary, nosy old bat that she was. Checking for dust in Berverly's neat lounge and jiggling her tits as she waddled.

"Serial Grandma"

Furious at being placed in an old folks' home, Beverly takes revenge on some of the old biddies who get on her nerves (Mink Stole for hogging the break room TV, Leslie Uggams for chewing with her mouth open, Margo Martindale for using nursing home politics to score the room Beverly wanted to watch the birds).

At the first chance she gets, Beverly makes a jailbreak in a stolen Cadillac (soundtrack for speed race: Adele's "Someone Like You") to get revenge on her family for putting her away: Eugene, Chip, and Misty each suffer Beverly's wrath.

At trial, the jury becomes hopelessly deadlocked when the forewoman (Jean Smart) declares she'd like to kill her family too, and several jury members agree. A mistrial is called, and through a loophole Beverly can't be tried again.

Beverly adopts Misty's 8-year-old daughter Nevaeh, a child beauty pageant winner who looks like Rhoda Penmark and got her title when the first place contestant somehow bounced off a bed and out the window of the hotel where the pageant took place. As Nevaeh accepts her crown, Beverly is in the audience cheering. She's finally found her true family.

Misty: Bludgeoned to death with her daughter's practice stage microphone.

Chip: "Honey, could you help me get my watch out of the wood chipper?"

Eugene: Rolled-up Premiere magazine stuffed down his throat, Alien-style.

Ralph called the good dentist at home on a Saturday morning while he was sexing it up with Beverley, demanding that he get his toof fixted. So Eugene had to go into the office but drilled the fuck out of that toof, getting his passive-aggressive revenge on ole Ralph.

"Now we just need to expand on HOW she kills her husband and children. Her murders in the original were so creative and memorable."

Misty: Misty invested her Serial Mom t-shirt profits wisely, and has retired young -independently wealthy. When Beverly needs extra money for a project she asks Misty, A terrible argument ensues over whether or not Beverly should have received a cut of the Serial Mom money. Misty declares that she'd be shocked if Beverly ever held even a thousand dollars in her hand. Beverly responds by throwing a toaster into Misty's bath that evening, saying, "Who's shocked now?"

Chip: Their shared love of gruesome horror movies has given Beverly and Chip a close bond. When she decides that Chip must go, she honors him by killing him slowly, using all of the horror movie examples she can think of. (this scene will necessitate an NC-17 rating)

Eugene: Beverly drives with him to an isolated lover's lane. She starts to go down on him, and when he is on the point of orgasm she bites his dick off. He is immobilized by his seatbelt, and Beverly has handcuffed him to the steering wheel. She sits next to him, reviewing all the times he has failed to satisfy her sexually while he bleeds out.

R196 Too dark for Beverly. Her kills were mostly for mild comedic effect, and were people who deserved to die. Almost all of them died because they had hurt or upset a member of her family. She killed out of love, or a twisted version of it.

It's already a stretch for this devoted wife and mother to murder her own family, but to have her off them in such gruesome and painful ways isn't her style. Beverly detested a mess.

by Anonymousreply 197August 11, 2022 2:10 AM

Ah, but films today require more explicit gore and violence, R197. The sequel could never be as funny, original, or satiric as the original, so naturally Hollywood would insist on boosting the sex and violence... How else could a movie with a no-name cast even get made today?
