Random thoughts:

– Listening to the “burn notice“ podcast a month ago didn’t really help me with the names in this film. I still got pretty lost.

- Ben Bradlee, The executive editor of the post, played here by Jason Robards, was also played by Tom Hanks in the movie “The Post”. I thought I recognized that office. This is someone I’d like to know more about. I wonder if there’s a good book or movie about Ben Bradlee. 

- So many hand written notes in this movie! It’s nice to see.

- I’m going to go buy a paper.

Strange in a wonderful way. Like the way Terry Gilliam movies made me feel when I was younger. It doesn’t hold together dramatically for me, but it’s so inventive, silly, and interesting that I didn’t mind.

Justin Theroux is SO over the top but I love it.

A fantastic film. One of my all time favorites. Haunting, honest, and painful.

Several of the actors have gone on to do very different kinds of work since this film, so I'm not sure how it would be if you're bringing the baggage of their later work to this film, but I loved it when I saw it years ago.
