The Maze Runner series was the best of the three Anders mentioned. But even that fizzled out in the last movie

I’m rewatching The New York Ripper. Haven’t seen this in probably 15 years. God this new Blu-ray is gorgeous.

My initial opinion from 15 years ago is holding up. This movie is fucking boring. Kinda crazy that a movie so sleazy can be so dull.

I would agree with this.
I watched a YT of the 'uncut' vs 'cut' version but I recall all the cut scenes on the version I watched that was on Amazon Prime a bit ago. Other than the quality upgrade did it include further scenes? Not asking you to remember 15 years ago but you may have come across the info recently.

Well at least it looks better.

Complete aside, been looking for a version of The End by Christopher Maclaine for a while; even these days some things are difficult to attain.

I haven't. It was just okay. If you haven't read Don Quijote I expect you might find parts of it really tedious, and tonally it's kind of all over the place.

I did, and I’ve got really mixed feelings on Gilliam. He definitely has a vision, and I often enjoy watching his flicks just to see his kooky ideas come to life. But there’s also a coldness that infects many of his movies, almost like he doesn’t like his own characters. Reitman suffers from the same problem, albeit in more banal settings.

Yeah that describes The Man a lot too. It was the kind of not great film that a good filmmaker can make, a lot of really interesting scenes, but there was something weirdly austere about this supposed comedy
