I rented licorice pizza on saturday night. I ended up going to bed and leaving about 45 minutes on the table.

I have yet to return to it.

I watched Inherent Vice last night. It was fantastic and not nearly as hard to follow as I expected (based on what I'd read about it)

I hope to give it a second watch soon.

I didn't. I really can't stand subtitles. It pulls my focus away from the movie.

I did make use of the "back 10 seconds button" a few times, but otherwise I didn't find the movie particularly hard to understand.

I may watch inherent vice again soon also. With all this Paul Thomas Anderson talk I watched boogie nights again last night and it was as wonderful as ever. God damn I love that movie

Boogie Nights is my favorite so far.

Next I think I'll rewatch There Will be blood. I saw it in the theater but don't remember much about it. The thing I most remember is Paul f Tompkins.

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.

In any event, I’d take a whole cinematic universe centered on the cop character
we'd need an afternoon to watch it straight through. those sorts of days are few and far between around here.

also, watching the cop try to deescalate situations gets my anxiety up.

Rented and haven’t returned it as in like a VHS tape from Blockbuster?
