OMG, how had I forgotten about this?
I'm going to think about it in the seconds before I die, it's etched into my brain forever.
You and me both, I'm shocked anew by this revelation!

Soak it in:

The relationship between Utah and Bohdi carried a lot more weight and significance, and the clearly shot-on-location set-pieces were quite staggering. They cross the line from being merely impressive to being movingly expressive. The huge amount of passion Ericson Core poured into this project is palpable; it has such a boots-on-the-ground earnestness, similar to the films of John Stockwell. It's only real issue is some wonky editing/pacing (mostly in the first 20 minutes), but overall I found it very beautiful.

Damn what a masterpiece. Its stunning, the framing is gorgeous and intense, and Utah and Bodhi....that ending.
Yeah I agree the 2015 film Point Break is great

I would never. However, a girl I dated for a while always wanted to watch what I considered poor movies, and upon a viewing of the last Twilight movie on a otherwise really nice date night, I couldn't quite hide my distaste for it. Looked up the score and it was about where I had imagined. I mentioned it to her, and she went all Han Solo on me: "never tell me the score".
All the Twilight movies are massively superior to TFA and TLJ

I haven't seen any of the Twilight movies but that doesn't seem like a hot take.

The first Twilight movie is actually decent.

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.

But Jorge is right. LV also maintains that Coming to America 2 is twice as good as Nomadland.
