Letterboxd — Your life in film

Transportive

Damn, I put this on and couldn’t pull away.

Watch the featurette if only for Scott Cooper attempting to connect the opioid crisis with earth’s depleting resources.

I can’t believe I cried. Successfully achieves the Christmas Story vibe it unquestionably underscored in the pitch deck to money people.

Sue me. I cheered and choked up at this kid’s movie. The humor and heart is legit. The post credits scene stayed with me. Definitely no O.G., but a good time indeedy. McKenna Grace is terrific.

Stunning cinematography, great performances. Fun to imagine great filmmakers to be - like Tarantino and PT Anderson - watching this and getting itchy brains. For the watershed year ‘84 was (Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, etc) Paris, Texas was and is a full on independent art film — a foreign production, and it shows (in the best way).

Um. This is great? Ambiguous characters, irreverent humor, quality imagery, mixed race vampires with playful, human qualities… yeah why don’t they 4K this thing!?

Thank you Dylan Dawson for introducing me to this fantastic Halloween movie, a hybrid of 100 80s spooky flick nods.

I can’t believe the cops had a “bumbling cops” theme song. My mind went Malignant after the pumpkin slice opening and I became Annabelle Wallis again when Michael was chasing Jamie through the house. Points for brutality! And a jail break by Druid Boi…

Impeccable duh

Beautiful.
