@mattzollerseitz is right, I mean right down to the socks no one is casted right, they even miscast Kennedy IF you're focused on looks because I've only been watching a few minutes and I've already settled into the characters
Wish I knew more about the outlier characters because they seem important to the lore but I don't know enough about it to recognize
Wait....Are they talking about Ava Gardner? She and Frank dated???
I've watched alot of Golden age film I eat it up, but they way I know next to nothing about these people's personal lives
John Wayne was such a dick. Better actor than folsk give him credit for , but a dick who really literally should've minded his business alot more.
I really miss messy television like this. The movies were better ..miniseries were special too, when they weren't all trying to be movies and "Prestige" didn't exist. And what's crazy is the imagined gap between Television and movies was much larger then so you would think...
Watching this and I'm think hard once again on the complex figure that was Sammy Davis and once again the importance of Grace...
This movie is incredibly well lit...

I wish I could remember some of them in Their entirety but Dean Martin has got some motherfuckin lines in here
This one about and Idea being an electrical charge that doesn't hold weight in the court of reality....You have to hear it , but it's a doozy

Can I holla at yall about the fight scenes in Atomic Blonde ???

In a piece I wrote about Tom Cruise I talked about natural ability to show Taking hits just as well as he gives, it's an important aspect that I noticed a lot of action folk whom I actually love aren't very good at...
The best these new post George iterations had to offer. Despite the story being referential to the past, it felt refreshing still. . The acting was the best, by far, the action was top flight, and when it bowed to the old it mostly got it right by just having a good time
One thing I've been working on and frankly failing at is trying not to understand why ( therapy already helped with that ) but how to stop obsessing over people I like seeming not to really fuck with me...
This is the spot where losing my therapist ( she had a familail situation and I could no longer afford it- came at exactly the wrong time ...
Because she was already talking about the difference between understanding something and internalizing it, and then boom gone...
I feel like I can always tell even from a trailer when a movie looks like it was actually well thought out and from a desire to continue the strory or just pushed out because they are aware of its legacy and big $ is on the table. Whether it's good or not I can tell it's organic
Since the first Matrix Lana and Lilly always impressed me with their inclusiveness in a world where science fiction in general has NOT...Hell even with BR 2049 poc were so restricted to the background it was hellacious to me
