I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

me too, dream job. I took whatever i wanted to see. Used to grab 3 or 4 movies for free. I still remember the clients, jesus christ. So many weird dudes.

There was this dude who had a little book and went to the porn section to look, opened the book and did some writing in his book. So weird. Or an alcoholic dude who was an Eastwood fan, but only for his westerns.

Fun times.

Barbie, Past Lives, and Saltburn.

And come to think of it... Bottoms is also in my top 5. So 4 of my top 5 are written and directed by women. That's wild. Awesome, but wild.

He’s made some great movies over the years. Still strange to think of him being in his 60s.
