Letterboxd — Your life in film

devil is kind of an antihero in this one

everything should be this cynical about art & industry

sure! probably a lot of fun to be on set. at a base level a movie you watch and think “good for them! it’s so hard to get anything made these days. ya gotta just get out there and do it yourself…”

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

seeing this at the LA Live Regal Cinemas in college easily ranks top 10 moviegoing experiences of all time. rock v. diesel fight an all-timer. wish there was more street racing tho :(

the rare movie that would benefit from 7 built in commercial breaks, a tiny TNT logo in the corner & occasional reminders that “FAMILY GUY ON NEXT”

practically same as in the heights but everyone’s from the UK & it’s set in the 1930s british countryside

mare really should’ve recused herself from this case

I have a surprising amount of thoughts about this movie but find it deeply embarrassing to post anything in earnest about it right now. Gillespie is one of the few directors who made a prestige project & makes perfect sense transitioning to the big budget, mostly uninspired studio system. Deeply funny that nobody can put together that ‘Cruella’ is actually ‘Estella.’ What if I had dual personality that went by ‘Mean-ris’??

a horrifyingly honest & bleak assessment of the self-involvement required to move up in the world in any capacity. everything’s a crock of shit. grodin’s perfectly dumb face. I was going bonkers. spot on about so much more than just ‘love’ on its own merits. rather love in relationship to everything beyond your partner. also low key about why so many people hate jews. it’s a perfect, surprising movie. wish I never saw that shit remake that removes all subtext from this classic. 

there’s no deceit in the cauliflower

probably 5 stars on a big screen. but on my ipad while I’m half distracted, it gets 3.5. lee marvin is a uniquely unfuckable movie star!!

i’d rather be watching some good news
