Yep. And Shane Black’s best.

It’s really good too, but the snarky VO feels a bit dated now.

Yeah but that's like saying vomiting > diarrhea

mods?
please, this is embarrassing...its not good for RM at all. Im worried.

Is not liking Scorsese movies some new edgelord thing?

Nah. I've never been a big fan.

Look, I exaggerate about him a lot, mostly to mess with TVG, especially when he's dishing it out. But I think we all know that's all in good fun.

Scorsese isn't a hack. I just don't think he's the masterful genius that others seem to think he is. Like Anders, I think he has some good films but many (most that I've seen) are flawed. And I get that I'm in a very small minority but I really do not like Goodfellas. It just does nothing for me. Ditto The Departed (though, it is better than Goodfellas). I think that's really the only "edgy" thing about my Scorsese takes. But it's not an affect. It's an honest opinion. I'm not trying to be shocking or contrarian or trolly.

But Taxi Driver, Last Temptation of Christ, Gangs of New York, Raging Bull, these are all good to get films. And there's a lot I still haven't seen.

yeah, i know its for fun

Well, I thought you did. My apologies. I won't bring it up again.

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.

Very solid concept but cheesy AF. Really not a well made movie at all. But a good concept.

Fast Times is the real 80s teen flick

Maybe we get a test case of things going the other direction if Mamet ever has a new play out while simultaneously proclaiming that Kaczynski was on to something.
