So glad I finally watched Sorcerer a few weeks ago.

Lawd! That Sean Penn taxi cab confessions movie with Dakota Johnson looks awful.

 

[DyeLorean]

The first two Insidious movies were perfect for that. So many people were screaming in the theater.

The Insidious title card drop scared the sh** out of me.

Seeing that tomorrow and personally, I can't wait.

36 years ago early this year:

Greatest biopic of all time.

In a violent nature

I’m in awe of how simple this is, but still bloody brilliant. All them kills are brutal. I also like how the director doesn’t shy away from the influences on this, he instead wears it in pride. One of the best flicks of the year for me.

Sad to see but kind of inevitable with the sharp decline of physical media. Redbox would occasionally come through in a pinch. The last time I used one was when I rented Tenet on Blu-ray because it wasn't yet available as a digital rental.

I remember 10 years ago someone wanted me to invest in a redbox machine because that guy was making almost 2 grand a month from it.

Bummer if they can't find a way to turn this around. Libraries are gonna be the only places left to rent physical movies. And gosh, people are so dumb - Paying three times as much, sometimes way more than that, to rent a new movie online than you could to get the disc at Redbox.

This movie is speaking to my Space Camp going ass.

This movie is speaking to my Space Camp going ass.

True story.

My friend almost got in a fight with Eric Roberts over parking. About 15 years ago. I’m not gonna lie about this feeling, man, we were two vs him in theory and I didn’t like our chances, thank Christ security came and defused the situation. Lawd.

I assume Twister is next for so she can fully understand the 90's blockbuster experience.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Fincher)

Man, this has aged wonderfully for the most part, like a fine wine. The twist and somewhat of the final half does not live up to the build up from the beginning, but still masterfully done. I found myself once again gripped from the set up and I enjoyed more of what Craig was doing. He also looked very stylish, while looking very somewhat casual. @DKDetective can speak more on this way better than me here. A great revisit.

It remains one of my favourite Fincher films.

This wonderful blog has a wonderful overview of Craig's casual Scandinavian wardrobe in the film:

I honestly can’t wait for summer to be over and wear my cardigan sweaters.

Hot take but I prefer the Swedish film much more.
