I never jerked off on a beach, but I’ve done things that in retrospect felt isolating and depraved.
I also never drank bathtub grain alcohol and confessed my darkest secrets to a trusted advisor, but that scene reminded me of past experiences too.
I’ve never ridden at motorbike at high speed across the salt flats without a helmet, but I’ve done things that made me feel similar.
Etc etc. Amazing how good this film is at using those two guys as an avatar for the viewers’ subconscious.

Don’t blink! Man some of those scenes are so good. Just wish the overall narrative were more complete, or consequential

I guess I just don't understand why a stronger narrative would hurt any of the scenes.tragabigzanda wrote:Apples and orangestree_ wrote:Do you feel that way about Licorice Pizza?

Re: What movies are you watching?
OK, makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I guess it's just not my preferred style. But as I said, despite this, I'm still often drawn to it. I've probably watched it 20 times by now.

I'm in the same boat as tree. I definitely enjoyed it, but I liked Boogie Nights more.

For some reason I'm avoiding watching The Last Duel. I think that might be next. We'll see.
