Finally watched The Graduate and liked it quite a bit. You can see what an influence it must have been for so many movies that came after.

The Simon and Garfunkel music was mostly great, but it made me realize that I really do not like the song “Scarborough Fair”. And they kept playing it over and over! “Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme”? Fuck off

He's great. I'm also a sucker for Tom Hardy and his funny voices.

Just read that Uncut Gems had a big influence on how Inside Out 2 was filmed. Interesting

Been doing a run of 80's action flicks lately - last night it occurred to me that the most iconic characters all have a the name John. Commando - John Matrix, Die Hard - John McClane, Rambo - John Rambo
It's the quintessential all-American male name.

Watched IF over the weekend with the kids - it was alright. I think though the funniest thing (To me anyway) was lost in the credits with the Deadpool call back - having the imaginary friend Kieth played by Brad Pitt

Were you under the impression that you would not understand everything?

I had the "explanation" spoiled for me before my first watch so it made complete sense when I finally watched it, but I bet I would've been very confused otherwise

I thought it was pretty easy to follow. I think it's pretty clear that it was about Naomi Watts and Laura Harring having super hot lesbo sex all day. Unless there was something else I missed.
