I finally got around to watching your fine reaction to my selection, and would again like to say thanks. Some have already mentioned the brief appearance by Robert Duvall. Another brief appearance is the Frostee Cream employee, played by director Jim Jarmusch. Though it was a “small” movie, Billy Bob did win an Oscar for the screenplay, and he was nominated for Best Actor. The rights issues that have frustratingly thrown the movie into a viewing “dead zone” is such a travesty. I think it would have a whole new life if finally making its way to streaming. The starting point for the problems was its Disney ownership, and Disney is one of the worst for home media. They have fought tooth and nail for “control” during every phase and format of home media. And having been a small scale production by MIRIMAX only made problems worse. Maybe someday soon it will shine brightly again, with a fine new mastering. I doubt that it’s been touched since the early DVD era.

I usually dont comment on these, but WOW what a movie. Just perfect reaction guys.

Nick of Time

Anyone else have to watch this with Spanish subtitles? 😆

Mr. Chumpus

I've suggested Goliath. I really like that show

Mr. Chumpus

Linda, don't let the door hit your ass on your way out. Are you seriously whining about not being able to watch along to a movie you have seen "a million times"? Jesus, it's ok to skip one reaction, and fffs everything is free on the internet including Sling blade just google it.

Catherine LW

That was rude, Andrew. No need for it.

Anthony Perez

You want to see a non-heinous side if Dwight Yoakam? Watch some of his music videos. My wife would melt into her seat when he started dancing...try "Suspicious Minds"...sexiest country singer out there.

Erwin Quiachon

Totally unsatisfactory. What about me and all I've given? When was the last time you did anything nice for me? I need to feel loved and desired. Just kidding. You can't satisfy everyone all the time. But, you can always try harder to make me happy. Joking. Sling Blade was an outstanding pick.

Linda

I'm moving on from here April 2nd. I've seen Sling Blade a million times when it was first on cable. I just feel bad for those who haven't. I didn't realize how extremely exclusive it was here when I joined. It's just not my jam.

Congratulations again, David! This was a great selection! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Unfortunately, it’s not widely available! We apologize! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We couldn’t place him until we saw his name in the credits! -Sam

Thanks so much, Andrew! -Sam

Positive vibes and energy all round

Andrew

That was thoroughly thoroughly enjoyable ,a spectacular ,emotion packed reaction ,one of the top few reactions I have seen on the channel for sure ,I remember this movie being amazing ,but it was even better than I recall ,just an incredibly well written script ,delighted that this was reacted to

As far as Billy Bob goes, the series Goliath, especially the first season is very good. I though the 4th season was kind of odd but still enjoyable. One of my favorite of his roles was in A Simple Plan. Also has Bill Paxton and Bridget Fonda.

Bennett Holleman

Did you recognize Robert Duvall as his father?

Lana Gorgeous

You also have to watch Billy Bob in a movie called Monster's Ball. He gave an amazing performance and it's the movie the Halle Berry won the Oscar. Also a lot of this cast is in another great movie called The Apostle including a great performance by Robert Duvall.

Michael Robayo

It's a beautiful, masterfully made movie. Great reaction, guys!

Terry Lee

did anyone else have trouble finding this movie online? I did a Google search and iit wasn't available anywhere, on Amazon it told me it's not available in my region

Hunter DeRensis

This was a great selection. I ordered an old DVD copy from eBay just so I'll be able to follow the full-length reaction.

Mike the Ginger

I watched the full length here with you guys. I was surprised how emotional the two of you got from this film. Quite a good film.

David Wilkins

Fantastic! I haven’t sat down to watch this yet, but I want to thank you for the new member process that ended with my selection being chosen. As stated previously, I’m sorry for not doing an initial search that would have revealed that it’s not widely available, especially via streaming. And I’ll certainly check before future entries. Thank you for going the extra mile in showing this selection. Hopefully plenty of members will be able to eventually watch the full reaction. This is a rather special film, for Billy Bob, all those involved in its production, and the millions who fell in love with the end result.

Steve Mercier

Going to watch this when I get home from work...mm-hmm.

benjamin freeman

just finished, absolutely loved it, great reaction so glad you watched it. feel so lucky knowing that it was picked at random

Philip Alan

Great reaction! I was going to come in here and say, "Wow, you just did a double dip of Dwight Yoakam!", but you figured it out! Good eye! Anyways, I love that you do these monthly picks! Great idea!

Linda

Hopefully Dogma wins your random drawing sometime. Have a nice day.

TBR Schmitt

It won the random monthly movie draw. We did not pick this, a patron won the opportunity to decide on a movie to share with us and this was the movie selected. We were fortunate enough to be assisted with getting a copy we could film a reaction with. As stated above, some other patrons may already have copies, it may be able to stream in their location, or it may be added to streaming at a later date which will make this selection more accessible. Regardless, our condensed/edited reaction will be available on YouTube for all to see. This is not the first difficult movie to access that we have reacted to. We previously needed assistance watching Oldboy but similar to this, it was a winning selection. If we are able to honor a winning selection then that is simply what we will do.

Linda

I can't wait for you to tell me where a physical copy of the film is available...

Michael Chavira

It won a monthly drawing. That's all the reason they needed. You can get yourself a copy of the film, or watch the YouTube edit.

Linda

It is not available on Amazon at all. It doesn't show up in any format on their site. At all. "The only way to watch Sling Blade is by purchasing a physical copy, but even DVDs and Blu-rays are rare and expensive, with limited options available on Amazon."

Linda

That doesn't answer my question. WHY would any creator react to something almost none of their members can watch? I've never seen that done before.

Tyler Foster

Actually, even on a digital service, if you purchased it previously, before rights issues (temporarily) meant it could no longer be left up for rental or purchase, those people will still have their copies as well.

Tyler Foster

It can still be found on DVD and Blu-ray, and I'm sure there are many people who like the movie that still own a copy. It's just currently unavailable to stream.

Linda

Ok, I still don't get why you're reacting to something most of your members can't follow along.

Ellie Miller

Never thought you'd do a Dwight Yoakam double feature. In life he's more known as a country singer/songwriter who occasionally acts. I doubt you guys have the time, but for anyone else, I highly recommend Goliath Season 1 on Amazon Prime. I personally think it's Billy Bob Thornton's best role, most winning role, and that first season is incredibly satisfying. 8 episodes. He's a lawyer who takes on a wrongful death lawsuit against a large weapons manufacturer. Also, Dwight Yoakam is in it.
