  Network 1976

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by jackson 👽 27 Aug 2022

  “So, you listen to me. Listen to me!
  Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business.”

  Déjà Vu 2006

  ★★★★½ Watched by jackson 👽 24 Aug 2022

  Really really cool stuff here. You’ve the power of canonical-cross-cutting , the time machine rig stand-in for a camera, the car chase like an action sequence directed by Val Kilmer and Adam Goldberg and shot by Denzel Washington. Also clean af on the direction and the script AND score, Tony Scott gives you so much with so little. It’s his movie-movie!

  I wonder if, as a premier action director of the practical fx era, Tony Scott was keenly aware of…

  ★★★★½ Watched by jackson 👽 24 Sep 2021 6

  Special students-only screening and Q&A with Joel Coen and Frances McDormand. Yes, you read that right and yes, it was one of the coolest fucking things I have ever been to. Fran said she had dreamt of playing Lady Macbeth ever since doing her sleepwalking monologue in class when she was 16. Boy, did she make good on that one.

  Went in expecting Macbeth and to be a little bit like "why does this exist". Got a cinematic rendition like…

  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched by jackson 👽 26 Mar 2022 1

  Finally, the multiverse movie to end all multiverse movies. Nobody make any more after this, you’re just gonna look stupid.

  This is a movie for me because it is never not trying to be funny even when everything is shit; that’s my kind of screenplay. Yes I cried, the funny absurdity of its design services the serious/sad absurdity of the reality it pieces together and both are better off for it. By blockbuster standards it’s everything you could want and…
