What movies are you watching?

Zodiac

What do you think of the film's length? I enjoy it overall, but it can feel like a slog towards the end.

Yeah I felt similarly. It's a good movie with some great performances (John Carroll Lynch is awesome), but it's a bit too long, especially for a film where the third act is primarily about....going through archival materials. And it tends to lean heavily into the details of the case at the expense of character.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It feels like its subject, obsession with no satisfaction, which makes it a difficult watch for me. Though I occasionally return to it for its pristine craftsmanship.

Pretty cool for a "horror" movie that probably cost like $500 to make. No other comments given how spoiler sensitive it is.

Good Time was pretty good... but pales in comparison to Uncut Gems, which is a much more mature, complex, complete movie.

High Life - enjoyed it, but this was bleak

The Beach- absolutely hated this...good God

Inside Out - this was good, but I wasn’t as enamored with it as most

Blue Valentine - man this was great..probably my favorite gosling and williams’ roles

[epilogue]

Blue Valentine is all time.

Blue Valentine is all time.

i want it playing in the background at my wedding
