I used to say this was my all time favorite movie. Then I went to film school and met other people who said that and I stopped saying it. But wow seeing this in theaters again was such a dream.
Seeing it in Dolby Vision really just emphasized how this film is a masterclass in using sound design for comedy. Every environment has unique sounds that are both diegetic and like basically just rimshots for the jokes. I picked up…
I dare anyone watching this movie for the first time to try and guess what’s going to happen next at literally any time, you can’t.
Points off for pretending to talk about racism but like not actually at all and also giving the racist, shitty cop a redemption arc.
Yeah Karsten showed me a rough draft of this and in that one the toast was actually really short. I asked him if he thought about making it any longer and then 2 days later this comes out with no credit to me. Kind of fucked up. 5 stars.
