I remember Burt saying something similar, so I was aware before watching it, that this could be the response here.

[BurtReynolds]

that reminds me i need to buy that one.

Big Mad God fan over here. I've seen it twice!

[VinylGuy]

rewatch of Lost In Translation.

What an amazing movie. As someone who has been in Japan and loves everything about it, this one is a little more special.

Also what a great soundtrack

Nightmare Alley started very promising. Well acted, well directed, beautiful scenery, great cast, and I thought the story in the first hour, while not very original, was sincere and interesting. Then it goes full melodrama, with twists. That is probably because the movie is adapted from a 1946 novel. All in all it supported an enjoyable Sunday evening, but I thought the 2h 30m movie was too long, and the plot too contrived, for me to fully be immersed by it.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

i remember having fun when i saw it but it was mostly because it looked good

[Strat]

The Instigators. Exactly as you would expect. Exactly. I had fun. I love Casey Affleck.

Loved Last Night In Soho. Really well told, well made, tense and interesting until the end. Fantastic cast.
