Stillwater. Maybe I’m just not a Damon fan, but he really sucks in this

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.

To me he unintentionally comes off as a sling blade type. Josh Brolin played this character so much better in no country for old men

I loved the ending
The story isn't bad at all. I just very much disliked the execution.

tragabigzanda wrote:Watched Copland again. Love this movie. So much to enjoy despite its flaws. Rewatchables said "is this the best three-star movie ever" and I think it's a fair question.

Very 70s in its filming, performances, storytelling. Some logic leaps in there for sure, but I really enjoy watching the plot fold back on itself several times over, and Liotta, Stallone, and DeNiro are all awesome; Keitel seems to be on autopilot.
tought you were going to clarify when it came out but no

Crazy Heart. I saw it years ago and remember liking it, but now it's boring me to death.
