  1. Damn, as always, I admire you guys' exegesises regarding shit like this.

    I left with two observations.

    I surprisingly like Adam Driver in everything I've seen him except this. 

    Lucas is kind of getting obsessive with suicide missions.  Like some weird, sick infatuation with young people killing themselves for the cause. In the times we live in, I am not a fan of this.

    Phantom Thread.

     NB:  I'm a huge DDL fan and PT Anderson fan.

    I thought it was amazing.  Great acting - I can't believe this was DDL last film.  Really nice cinematography and camera moves - the car/driving shots were interesting/different.  The shot where they were driving together and the camera is looking into windshield and they'd mounted lights on the rear of the car illuminating the city as they pass it - amazing.  Even the shaky "go-pro" style camera mount on the earlier driving shots were great.

    Story was great - 2 virtually tragically flawed characters.  I'm not even sure how the end came about, it certainly escalated quickly.  I'll steer away from omelettes for awhiles.  But I'd watch it again in a heartbeat to further dissect it.  

    Soundtrack was lovely, as expected.

     

     

    I'm chalking this one up to "I'm not worthy".  I liked it but there was nothing about it that made me love it like I have every other PTA film (except Inherent Vice -- which I just could not make it through.)

    Will put it away and watch in a few years and watch more carefully.

  3. Florida Project (2017)

    Sweet Jesus this was depressing.  In fairness, Orlando is depressing as hell.

    Getting to a point in my old age where if its too much of a downer, it's not worth it.  This wasn't worth it.

    With no QB distinguishing himself for the starting QB job, and all hopes hanging on a true freshman that requalified from the 2019 class to 2018 to forego his senior year at Mater Dei, to come in as the savior in June?  We may lose to both Stanford and UT.

    I disagree.

     

    You are going to get skullfucked by both.

  5. We’ll do a couple nice dinners, but we’re really more into hole in the wall lunch spots and tasting rooms where you can have a more casual interaction with the people and the local cuisine.

     

    Example?

    Who gives a fuck? People obsess over the dumbest shit. Our last iteration of grass was complete garbage. What we have now is light years better than that worthless shit. 

    What's next? Do we all have to stand when we're on defense? Do we need to whoop? 

    Stupid shit that people act like is actually important. 

    You've gone down like, two steps below, in my book.

    I knew this would be the reaction the moment I saw the Spanish challenge.  Beto is going to get the Spanish speaking vote anyway.  All he is doing by the challenge is alienating the super racists.  

    It isn't a big blue tent unless you have room for super racists. 

    And Guapo.
