The Jewish-to-WASP assimilation theme is so key to its reflection on cinema. This scene isn’t just the creation of Indiana Jones (or Schindler), but Sammy ask for Christmas lights in the first scene. His first train shoot he uses toys with keffiyehs, and ends shooting beach day.

He already talks and acts like he’s about ten years older than he did last year around this time. It’s insane.

Great movie. I haven’t gone deeper into Motern but I’m sold so far off this one.

Cannot express enough how much this mirrored my exact feelings, but apparently it's a full-on neo-western about an old WW2 veteran going on a crime spree. It's very "modern film culture" for a news drop to make it sound like that's the same thing as a true western, though.

Don’t really understand why the Something Wild high-school reunion sequence, where the The Feelies show up and Jeff Daniels does his goofy French New Wave-aping dance, aren’t more Film Twitter-core. Not to mention Ray Liotta and Melanie Griffith as the hottest people ever.

One of The Great Things.

Killers of the Flower Moon playing wayyyy better the 2nd time. I still feel inherent narrative issues, but the film (which still had a ton to love) is transcending them. The Irishman went from great to masterpiece for me with that process, and this feels similar if still lesser.

My favorite Woo. Although I like a Better Tomorrow 3 even more, which might be a “most underrated film ever” candidate for me.

One of the great works of art in the past few decades, so one of the most underrated (and I am not at all someone who loves everything Refn does). You have to commit, but has anything taken down modern America this hard? Pagan anti-fascism. boxd.it/6a6hk3 What I wrote.

Juliet Berto in Out 1 is Brat, right?

The Master Pat Garret and Billy the Kid Exiled Hatari Celine and Julie Go Boating

The Story of Marie and Julien The Stranger’s Return Better Tomorrow 3 Rosa La Rose, Public Girl August In the Water!!!! Road to Nowhere Who Am I This Time? Not sure Belly counts, has a cult following, and The Sun Shines Bright is John Ford so…

This feels like it will be great Sodey not “oh look, another Sodey” Sodey.

Breathless- Highway 61 Revisited Contempt- Blood on the Tracks Pierrot Le Fou- Blonde on Blonde King Lear- The Basement Tapes Prenom Carmen- Nashville Skyline/John Wesley Harding combined Vivre Sa Vie- Bringing It All Back Home Hail Mary - Christian Albums lol

Watched Landscape Suicide and it immediately becomes one of my favorite things ever. Feels like all other “haunted Americana”, like Lynch or Hooper or Poe or Morrison, has happened in the first few layers of sleep, and then this is the REM cycle.

Woah, interested.
