They're both great. Watching The Conversation before Enemy of the State is fun. It's sort of a spiritual sequel.

Watching Downhill Racer. Redford, Hackman and a bunch of awesome skiing footage - not a bad way to spend an evening.

Unfortunately, it's against my beliefs. I only recognize official novelizations.

I only ever read one movie novelization in my life and it was Brian De Palma's Snake Eyes.

Have they ever done a novelization of a movie that was based on a book? That's something I'd like to read.

They've tried, but it can't be done. The universe would collapse in on itself.

The collapse probably started when they made a video game based on a movie based on another video game (Street Fighter The Movie The Game.) it's been all downhill since then.

Watched the first half of The Brutalist. It's nice. Will finish some other time.
