Oil Can Boyd Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Looks like Jonathan Demme has passed away from complications from esophageal cancer. Sad news. He made some great films. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-39724613?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_breaking&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=news_central Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was just thinking about Something Wild the other day as a result of discovering the band Suburban Lawns, for which Demme directed their first video: The lead singer has a cameo in Something Wild - as the wife of Jeff Daniels' co-worker, that he runs into at Melanie Griffith's class reunion (featuring The Feelies - great class reunion). Nice write-up by Rolling Stone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I expected Something Wild to be a lighthearted, silly comedy. So glad I was wrong. Fucking intense! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's more well-known for other movies, but this is what I've always remembered him for: the only movie I've ever seen where people were dancing in the aisles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
