Nobody Walks.

Awful...what a movie cliche experience...the characters are so shallow, their intentions dont make sense and the whole movie is just an excuse to look and sound cool. Really this one is bad.

I like both of them...Falling Down have some great moments but its also too " in your face"...everything is so outspoken.,,...

As for Godard, have you seen his first movies? that guy has such a large filmography most of his work is weird and dated, but man his first movies..even if you dont like them, there is always something there to digest.

I'll have to check out more of his catalogue.

And Platy is strongly misleading . I admit that Falling Down has its problems, but as a social commentary on America I think it's great. If remade today by a guy like David Fincher, it'd be something special.

but anyway yeah I had to tough guy a few moments out so I wouldn't tear up in front of my friend.

I had to fight back tears myself, Dev. We could have bonded together and had a good cry.
Have you seen To The Wonder yet?

Watched "Stories We Tell" because I have a crush on Sarah Polley. I kinda faded in and out, but mostly I thought it was great.

Just noticed that Netflix added a bunch of Troma "classics", including the "Toxic Avenger" series. They also added Matt and Trey's "Cannibal! The Musical". Fun!

Yes. Probably his weakest effort next to The New World, but I still can't help but admire the hell out of it.

Roman Polanski was once going to film a movie about Pompeii, but funding fell through. Damn. I'd like to see that get made.

Have you seen A Face in the Crowd? Love it. That's what made me check out the rest of his stuff.
