Letterboxd — Your life in film

A film with editing that, like Soderbergh's previous (that I still somehow need to see,) truly is out of sight. Add in a groovy soundtrack of 60s tunes man, as well as a breezy, slick throwback aesthetic to filmmaking of that period (although, there aren't any split screens, though,) and surrounded by vets from the period, and, you've pretty much made a flick for me Steven. Only filmmaker today I could see dabbling in such fare now could be Edgar Wright. Feel Last Night in Soho kinda, sorta does.

Besides the director's previous effort, I also really need to seek out Point Blank too.

beware the pooper. remains a whacked out masterpiece

Oh hey special features; let's hear what Stephen King has to say about this movie:

"It's gonna do for the toilet what PSYCHO did for the shower."

Uhhhhh, sure pal. If you say so.

Javier Bardem commits to this as if it is obviously the role of any actor’s lifetime.

(Watched on a plane.)

I do prefer the originals to the prequels by a little bit, but honestly there's just nothing like that feeling after I finish a 10 hour prequel marathon (with The Siege of Mandalore and some other Clone Wars added in of course).

This story is an emotional gut punch, but it still manages to leave you with hope. I also think it has far more to say than people give it credit for: it's truly a genius story in my opinion.

This is one of my favourite movies of all time, and might be the one I watch the most.

Was fully intending on giving it some more love anyway as I recently bought it. Although this viewing made me fall for it less, however (damn you, Jane.) Purely a coincidence that the revisit just so happened to fall on the scene-chewing (though kinda underused) villain's birthday.

However, following it up immediately with American Psycho? Yeah, of course, that was deliberate.

Recently purchased it on Blu after enjoying it this past New Year's.

Put it on (but more as background noise) as a primer for another it inspired, and that I happened to buy alongside; Cap America: The Winter Soldier.

Having now seen both, I get even more what you were trying to do Russo's. And I like it. Don't know why it took me so long to finally see the inspiration though. But then again, I often make no sense.

Babylon finally got me to watch something I initially only really knew for these two things going in; Donald Sutherland plays someone named Homer Simpson, and he commits an egregious act near the end. But, I mean as detestable as it was, they were kinda asking for it too. Certainly not to that degree, but they deserved something.

Wasn't quite worth the purchase, in spite of the very interesting subject matter. But I've had worse blind buys. Sutherland was great. Burgess Meredith is always welcome. Lovely to look at, thanks to Conrad L. Hall. He definitely earned his Oscar nod. That's for sure.
