Saturday Night Fever 1977
Sister was over, decided she wanted to watch it. You forget how narcissistic and bleak this is. Nobody comes of well.

German Mercs flying Biplanes and Revolution manifesto. Possibly my first Zapata Western..

Air Force One 1997
Oldman funded, Nil by Mouth. Pure off this.
Went to see this in cinema. Everything I remember about this was actually Starship Troopers 4 months later. It’s like the Pullman speech from Independence Day but two hours long. Both times a mate of mine farted in a darken room with impeccable timing at some on screen jingoism. Still coming to terms that Jerry Goldsmith wrote the music for this. It’s good Die Hard clone above all.

Spider-Man 3 2007
Secret Wars era Spiderman was the Peter Parker I read as a kid. I remember referring to it as the black widow Spiderman outfit as a action figure.

The French Dispatch 2021
Wow this is the first Wes Anderson film I’ve watch since Darjeeling Limited also in a cinema.
Could watched a whole film on Simone, Moses and the Concrete Masterpiece. Because think some of these anthologies work and others don’t. Possibly but more grounding in the offices around these stories. Remember when Tim Burton hit the 2000’s and became a parody of (TRAPPED BY) his own style… that.
All feels very distant. Feels along way from Rushmore and Life Aquatic.

Dreamscape 1984
Great opticals bookend this film that you want to live in for longer. Very Altered Images trick of quiet.. quiet.. (you could be nodding off late at night) LOUD!!! The real world of espionage is little less inspiring.

Mission: Impossible 1996
Establishing a Mission Impossible like team in the formulaic TV like credits and icing them systematically in the next 20mins is so Brian De Palma. Email Indox Espionage. The Langley scene got over used and endlessly parodied back in the day and has lost its pizazz. But the euro tunnel stuff.. Oooof.. Helicopter vs moon faced David Schneider.
