Yeah, he'd done a fair bit of work before Thelma and Louise. Some uncredited work really early on in his career and some TV acting. I was too young when this movie came out, so the first thing I ever saw Brad do was a couple of episodes of Growing Pains. Glad he got the part of J.D. Ever since I first saw the movie, I've always thouught he made the character very memorable.

The trucks spraying water helps dust in the air collect on the ground. So you don’t get dust storms. It also helps to keep the Asphalt from cracking or melting.

[@victoriadavislg]

I was just wondering if someone may answer this cause I always was confused

[@richiecabral3602]

They're also used in filming all the time. Besides keeping dust down, it also just makes the road look nice and shiny on camera, or maybe it's needed for special effects for rain shots, or maybe for safety if it's super hot out and you're shooting in a fire danger area. I don't know how that one got in the shot though. Maybe it was an accident, or maybe it wasn't even theirs, it was like they said, and it just randomly happened to be there, but usually they'd have traffic stopped while they're shooting. Maybe someone just thought it looked cool, and or it visually accentuated the fact that it's hot!

And in 1980, and 1970, and all the way back to the dawn of the detective era, and in 1910 they were first used in a court case to prove a criminal had touched a painted rail. They could prove that fingerprints matched. What they didn't have until the modern computer era was a database of fingerprints.

Me watching Ashleigh watching the first few minutes and thinking this is a light hearted road trip movie...🤣🤣🤣😭😭💔 Excited to see what you think. Edit After Watching: I still tear up watching this movie. The storyline is so well crafted and the growth they go through is amazing. When this movie came out, there was nothing like it. Two female leads. Two redheaded female leads. If you read Geena Davis' book, she will tell you about all the harshness this movie got by critics for promoting violence while movies like Lethal Weapon who tripled all of the deaths, explosions and gunfire was hailed as a good time. She will also tell you that meeting Susan changed her life because their friendship carried over and Susan showed her how to find her inner Louise to stand up for herself. Its one of my favorite movies of all time. My best friend and I have matching tattoos with sunglasses that say 'let's keep going'.

[@ddiamondr1]

Great point! I had forgotten some of the backlash that was directed at the violence. All you hear about male violence in movies is crickets.

Its not what you think!" for that one too. She figured it out fairly early on though this was going to go dark. Whew!

[@anzaeria]

Gosh, I'm surprised to hear about these critics view on violence. I saw this film at the cinema and I thought the violence was pretty minimal. The only violent bit that I recall was the slap during the rape scene which was very unpleasant. Also maybe Jimmy knocking something off the table in the hotel room.

[@What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

The guy investigating the killing whom you said looks familiar is Harvey Keitel. One of his most memorable roles is as the guy who gives instructions on how to cover up after the shooting inside the car in Pulp Fiction. Wikipedia suggests that the first use of fingerprints in a criminal investigation was in 1840. It has been widely used for a long time, but computerized image processing has made analyzing them much easier in recent decades.

This movie has one of the most iconic endings in movie history. Also, a word on Goodbye Earl that I was just thinking about.

A much earlier film and at least as equally ground-breaking. Yet no one ever reacts to it. So you can be a ground-breaker, too! 2. Something Wild with a very young Jeff Daniels, a very young Melanie Griffith and a very young (pre-Good Fellas) Ray Liotta. Probably less ground-breaking but a whole lot of fun, an equally skewed story and a great soundtrack. Equally un-reacted to. React to either of them and I'll send you a shiny quarter.

One thing that unfortunately may have ruined her career was starring in "Cutthroat Island" in 1995, which was one of the biggest box office flops ever.

[@mxbishop]

I remember when this movie first came out. There was a lot of buzz - and it created some really heated conversations between men and women. The thing is, a lot of women were very touched by this movie, and some were deeply and emotionally affected - largely, I think, because of the rape scene. While men were generally dismissive of the theme, and made jokes about it, like, "Those women drivers!" and "Can't wait for the sequel." Men had no idea of the earful that was coming their way, from the women who saw the film. _Thelma and Louise_ was a big topic of conversation in bars right after it came out. Just about everyone had seen it - and everyone wanted to talk about it. It was a real movie sensation, which is an extremely rare thing nowadays. Watching this movie in a dark theater, on a giant screen, has a much bigger psychological effect, than watching it at home. Ridley Scott, the director, created something very special here - that people talked about for a month.

[@roonarific1086]

I agree. And the men making fun of the film are only highlighting one of the points it raises. Thelma and Louise are so inundated with toxic men, like the would-be rapist, Daryl and JD, that they can't trust in Harvey Keitel, the one good guy trying to help them.

[@mxbishop]

@@roonarific1086 Well said. Men did not come off well at all in _Thelma and Louise_ which I think explains why so many men made fun of it - rather than looking any deeper into their own behavior towards women. When men made fun of the movie - women made sure they regretted it.

[@slchance8839]

@@mxbishop I feel the same way about the movie Falling Down. Some think Michael Douglas is an unhinged and scary wackjob....but the reality is that WHEN QUESTIONED by a policeman, his ex-wife says she got a restraining order NOT because he hit her or hit their daughter but because she THOUGHT he might. He was a man who followed all the rules and got crapped on his whole lfe. The ex-wife TOOK THE MAN"S child away from him on a "bad feeling." How far would a person go if you take away their child for no legitimate reason? Just like with Thelma and Louis, In the end, the opposite gender pushed too far and was met with violence. The villainous gender in both movies is rarely claimed by the gender.

Oh, we're going to enjoy a few great times and some bad moments together huh? Oh, girl...YOU'RE DOING ARSENIC AND OLD LACE?! I LOVE THAT MOVIE! There's another black & white called, "The Spiral Staircase" and I watched it as the library page watching the movie projector...I COULD NOT look away. I was 1,000% in IT!

I am also so excited for ‘arsenic and old lace’. Nobody does a double take like Cary Grant lol.

Arsenic and Old Lace: One of the funniest movies of all time. Gotta start brewing the elderberry wine

Two more excellent Susan Sarandon performances are in Bull Durham & Dead Man Walking.

[@scottvanhille5688]

I've only seen this movie once; Susan and Geena's chemistry is quite phenomenal. Great story. Just shows that women can kick butt too, watch out! Nice reaction. I'm looking forward to your collab with Mary Cherry where the content may vary but still the same old Mary Cherry, she collaborated with Vkunia for Gone With The Wind. I hope more movie reactors do this. Btw, she's a Ryan Reynolds fan and I really hope he will put her in Free Guy 2 whenever that will come out.

This was the movie that convinced me to watch Brad Pitt. It was '12 Monkeys'* that convinced me he could act. *Recommendation Looking forward to the Mary Cherry collab, love you both!

YAY! I'm SO happy we've got a _Thelma & Louise_ reaction. I remember my mom and aunt always going, "Hey Thelma! It's me, Louise. Wanna go for a ride?" and upon watching this film, I got confused. Did they wanna murder someone and drive off into their deaths? No. It's about just going out as sisters and having some fun, bonding time! This is such a fun, female-empowering film! We love to see it!

[@elainehill6504]

My mom and my mother in law became best friends and were always going out on adventures together. Usually just lunch and shopping, but did a road trip to Texas and once took off to the beach and went for a helicopter ride over the ocean. My sister in law started calling them Thelma and Louise because we never knew what kind of trouble they were gonna get into and we hoped they stayed away from cliffs haha. My MIL passed away last year and my mom's traveling days are behind her and I'm so glad they had those few years of adventures.

[@tjfrizzi5965]

Directed by RIDLEY SCOTT who directed ALIEN with Sigourney Weaver... In RL everyone is responsible for their own actions. But as a narrative in a MOVIE BRAD PITT was the cause of the situation becoming THE WORST. lol Meanwhile Ashleigh seemed to like J.D. more than Jimmy! 😂

[@msdarby515]

Girl, you should have been around for the discussions this brought up! As women we pointed to this movie and said, "See?" Treated like sex objects or possessions and it feels like there are no good choices besides being arrested or going into the canyon. Some people said it was ridiculous, it was overly dramatic. Of course it was. Very few of us have ever had to drive into a canyon because we murdered our rapist, because usually our rapist simply walks free. 😒 Ohhhh, this did get everyone to talking! Changing was slower, but it always has been.

One of the original endings was a last shot of them at a beach in Mexico! But the director thought it would be more impactful if they left it as a Cliff hanger. No pun intended. This is one of the movies that shows what true friendship is like.

[@scottboswell6406]

In fact, the director wanted the last shot to be of them driving off into the sunset, a miracle ending, he loved their characters so much, but did choose the best ending, seeing them fly off without the crash.

[@Rzo139]

Glad he went with that ending. However, as a naive kid when I saw it, I always thought it meant that a sequel was coming out to where we would see them make it over the canyon. Partially still waiting on that. 😂

[@allenruss2976]

Jimmy ie Michael Madsen is one of the best character actors going. He shows up in so many movies and you go oh yeah him.

[@LauraHenderson-wx6xy]

When I first saw this movie I thought it would be a female version of a guy buddy / buddy film. I really thought it was going to be a comedy. Well, about 10 minutes in my jaw dropped and stayed dropped. I was sitting there in the theater just numb with how powerful the film was. It had its equal share of gallows humor and some sad truths. I just knew Ashleigh would love it. Also, the sound track kicks ass ! 🎶 Better not Slow Down 🚙🚓🚁 🎶

[@ashleyreid6356]

Exactly my reaction 10 minutes in til the end as a 17 year old male! I didn't want to see this movie but I couldn't get into Basic Instinct lol. I was shattered emotionally afterwards, sobbing, the whole nine yards. Only a few movies have ever transported me to another level and this was one of them. Their transformations from ordinary to goddesses in control of their own destinies, the music, their growth, their bond. Tres bien, magnifique!

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

There are some who claim that Thelma and Louise invented the selfie. I don't know about that, but it is an iconic photo. Wild Turkey is a brand of bourbon. Harvey Keitel played Hal (the cop). You saw him in Pulp Fiction. I once attended a screening of Thelma and Louise as part of a classic movie series. Most of the audience was women. When the movie was over, a woman who was sitting next to me congratulated me for my courage for being there. She was joking, I'm sure, but I thought to myself, "This is what passes for courage these days?"

[@paulinegallagher7821]

actually they say it was Buzz Aldrin who invented the selfie; he had a camera on a tripod on his helmet that he turned around to take a picture of his face on either Apollo 11 or one of the Gemini missions back in the 1960s

[@CERULEANSPIRAL]

The world's first “selfie" was a self-portrait taken by Robert Cornelius in 1839.

@@CERULEANSPIRAL well there were a lot of self portraits long before that, the first being the Flemish Painter Caterina Van Hemmeson in 1548. But we are technically talking about camera selfies
