Rolling in the Deep Dark Waters

.
This one's been sort of bubbling just below the surface for a bit -- ha ha see what I did there -- but Todd Haynes' Dark Waters -- there, now you see what I did there -- has just dove in deep -- oh I did it again! -- with a Thanksgiving week release date and a new trailer and poster. It's coming! Dark Waters, as we noted when we first heard about it, doesn't sound anything like what we've come to think of as "A Todd Haynes Film"...

... and that's probably what drew him to it, if I had to guess -- it's a legal thriller about corporate and ecological corruption a la Erin Brockovich, with Mark Ruffalo in Julia Robert's push-up bra this time around, and Anne Hathaway playing Aaron Eckhart. Or something. Oh just watch.

I mean it looks like its gonna be a hell of a ride to watch, but doesn't seem like it's gonna be that special. No disrespect to Mark Ruffalo but he works better in an ensemble, and I haven't liked Anne Hathaway as an actress in anything outside of The Devil wears Prada and maybe The Intern and maaaaaybe in Colossal.

Ruffalo works better in an ensemble? Like Spotlight...😐
