First time watching this one. Feel like the throwback aesthetic was more exciting in 2009 but still a good time. Tom Noonan, man, what a treasure.

Gorgeous but kinda sterile. MacBeth needs to be weirder and hornier.

Which came first, the climate change stuff or the extreme pro-military shit, refuse to believe they were both in the first draft

The first (and only other) time I saw this was a test screening with the original ending where he ends up with Knives. I took a girl I'd had a huge crush on in college; I was trying to impress her with the fact that I could get into a test screening. Afterwards we got drinks with her 30something boyfriend who was wearing a suit. I think he worked in marketing. Anyway, when I was in my 20s, I didn’t understand how clearly the movie sets up Scott as a shitty dude and that was a problem.
