Letterboxd — Your life in film

"Are you fucking with me?"

Best Bradley Cooper part of all time. Every word that comes out of his mouth is hilarious. He could've left after his first scene in the driveway and it would've been the greatest performance of his career. He might be responsible for the funniest PTA scene of all time. Leo DiCaprio's dad stole my heart. I wish he could've been in Inherent Vice. His sequence is genuinely hypnotic. Although exquisite cinematography and wonderful score cue…

That the fear of admitting life after death exists is intrinsically linked with the loneliness and isolation of the departed? That the lack of contact in the real world and in cyberspace, both worlds perceived as havens of interaction and communication, may not end in death?
