Let me know when you do it and we can count it down and press play at the same time and it will be like we're watching it together

If we turn on the album February Son by Oleander at exactly the same time, it will sync up perfectly with the movieJorge wrote:Let me know when you do it and we can count it down and press play at the same time and it will be like we're watching it together

But I only watched it once. What is it that stuck out to you with subsequent viewings?

Re: Rank a Director's Filmography
It has become hard for me to rank movies, as it's been a long time since I've seen some of these. And quite frankly, I'm not sure I trust my ten-year-old memory of a twenty-four-year-old's impression of a movie. I did re-watches of both Punch-Drunk Love and The Master within the last year or so, so I can say with confidence that those are both vibratingly phenomenal masterpieces
I have not re-visited Phantom Thread since I saw it in the theatre, but I am on record as saying that I think it will stand the test of time and be one of the movies people are still watching in fifty years. I need to re-visit it.

The Fan and Domino are great, specially the latter.
Enemy of the state and Deja Vu were kinda boring.

Re: Rank a Director's Filmography
If a guy only has three movies it's a pretty meaningless ranking to say that two of them are tied.
