unlabelledView post →after reading The Shipping News, I watched the movie.. acting was fine of course (top rate cast), some changes were okay, some didn't make sense, beautiful scenery but harshness of the landscape & weather didn't really come across as in the book.. missing some of the heart & soul of the book
unlabelledView post →Proulx, #botd in 1935, won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award for The Shipping News. The film adaptation was meh (the quality of the language made it a hard book to adapt); her short story Brokeback Mountain was adapted more successfully. #booksky #writers #filmsky
unlabelledView post →It reminded me immediately of that old house in the movie "The Shipping News."
unlabelledView post →The Shipping News (2001). More or less forgotten because of legal proceedings involving people in the cast/crew. Seems unfair to punish people such a Judi Dench, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, Scott Glenn and Rhys Ifans the same way when their performances are stellar #FilmSky #ReelRank
unlabelledView post →Fucking hell my tinnitus is bad this evening. Tried watching a film to take my mind off it (The Shipping News) but it is intense today. Dreading going to bed and it just being there
unlabelledView post →The Shipping News. Prvo sam pogledao film, potom procitao knjigu. Nije mi film nuzno bolji od knjige, ali su mi oboje odlicni. Annie Proulx mi je jedna od najdrazih knjizevnica.
unlabelledView post →Another film set in Newfoundland, though no real town in particular, is 'The Shipping News'. This, plus 'Rare Birds', suggests that no Hollywood actor can do a decent Newfoundland accent; Everyone just does Irish and calls it a day. Well, except for Judi Dench. She does a good job but she's god-tier

unlabelledView post →Do you have any preferred method for submitting missing data? Peter Pan & Wendy (2023), The Shipping News (2001), and The Grand Seduction (2013) were all filmed in Newfoundland.
unlabelledView post →Away From Her is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen, and The Shipping News was also a fine film. He was a treasure.
unlabelledView post →It's lovely... I just rewatched the movie adaptation of Annie Proulx novel "The Shipping News". They had to forgive themselves for allowing their hearts to harden against people who had genuinely wronged them and deserved their wrath. It's like a still from the film. Tender beneath the surface.
unlabelledView post →Tonight at the #backyardgrindhouse we screen The Shipping News from 2001– starring Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Judi Dench, Scott Glenn, and some other actor we don’t talk about as much anymore
unlabelledView post →First time I'm seeing "The Shipping News" (band not book/movie) since Pitchfork circa 2002!
unlabelledView post →Yes, Newfoundland is beautiful, and you don't need to go far to see all the different types of scenery. Haven't read the Shipping News, but watched the movie years ago when it first came out. Need to rewatch it now that I'm here!
unlabelledView post →Neal, my favorite book is The Shipping News, do you know it? It's also a movie, I believe. Set in Newfoundland, it makes me long to be there 😁 I reread it every few yrs or when shit is super stressful & I need to carry a friend in my bag 😊 I envy you that ❤️⚡💙

unlabelledView post →Agree. The Rock must be a very special place. The Shipping News is a great novel set there, but the film was a huge disappointment.
unlabelledView post →Stolen, but I left a cute kitten picture as payment. Have you read "The Shipping News"? I haven't seen the movie so I'm not sure if it follows the book.
unlabelledView post →I watched The Shipping News on Youtube this morning. I saw it when it played in Korean theaters back at the turn of the century, and I remember having a good feeling about it at the time. It's still an impressive film.
unlabelledView post →I've wanted to visit there ever since I saw the movie The Shipping News :)
unlabelledView post →I loved Spacey's performance in "The Shipping News", but it's a movie I can't watch ever again. He poisoned my enjoyment of it.
unlabelledView post →The Shipping News is definitely in the ‘best book worst movie’ conversation
unlabelledView post →Their house was also in the movie, The Shipping News. There is a scene where a character walks into the house. They only used the outside. I know someone did buy the house, but I didn’t follow up with it after that. It’s probably fallen in now, but it will live on in my memory at least
unlabelledView post →The Shipping News (2001) The Shipping News (2001) was really nice! I just had some fun translating one of the most negative reviews I’ve read: “While Lasse’s films like Chocolat are full of charm—and I’d almost call Gilbert Grape a masterpiece—this film can only be described with a single word, one that the little girl uses often in the movie: ‘boring’!!! The story is predictable from start to finish, everything in the film seems artificial, and the dialogue is dull, even insipid. As a result,…
unlabelledView post →One of my favorite films of all time, “The Shipping News” is set in and was filmed on an island (admittedly, a very large island) Newfoundland, Canada. Another great film that takes place on an island (Devil’s Island) is “Papillon.” Then, of course, there’s “Jurassic Park.”

unlabelledView post →Latest totally normal news on Platner: he named his oyster boat Ostwind because he liked the movie “The Shipping News.”
unlabelledView post →Have you ever read, "The Shipping News"? They send a cub reporter out to film a story on a foot in a shoe being found...it's funny in the book--and moves the plot. But, CNN does this exclusively. It's why I stopped paying attention to it decades ago. Don Henley wrote a song about the same topic.
unlabelledView post →That is part of why Quoyle got the job writing about shipping in "The Shipping News." Great film, though.
unlabelledView post →Been a few years, but re-watched The Shipping News tonight. I'm not sure what there's a right answer about the complicated legacy of Spacey. I don't watch the movie because of him. Gordon Pinsent, Judi Dench, Rhys Ifans, Pete Postelthwaite, they are the ones I want to see.
