Everyone knows this one but there’s also The Dude stealing phrases he hears throughout the movie and often misquoting them, like “this aggression will not stand” and “the parlance of our times”.

My favourite quote about the movie is Ebert saying that it’s about an attitude, not a story, but that “it’s easy to miss that, because the story is so urgently pursued”.

I’m very glad Boondock Saints never caught on in the UK, at least in my age group. Tyler Durden was bad enough.

- Nobody actually refers to Leslie Neilson’s character as ‘Shirley’ at any point in the movie. It was merely a reference to the character misunderstanding the word “surely”.

Makes me so happy to hear people talking about Fireflies like this. The climax fell totally flat for me. It’s trying SO HARD.

I love all of Kon’s flicks but I think Millennium Actress is my favourite. It’s so fantastic. Paranoia Agent is his best overall work though, in my opinion.

Watched Get Out there finally. Near the end when Chris is in the chamber beside the surgical room he uses cotton to plug his ears to avoid being put back in a trance. He find the cotton in the armrest of the chair he's strapped too that's been fray open by a clawing motion he'd been doing in his sleep. It's the same motion he made at the start of the film when he was craving a cigarette and ofc after his first time in the sunken place he hadn't been smoking so his body was craving nicotine. So the Armitage's were undone by that small thing.

You could almost say that he picked the cotton

The cast for the new show looks good but the film was perfection. Pull an went as far as to say he was wrong in his descriptions of Coulter as dark haired as she literally is Nicole kidman. In all future writings his description of Coulter matches kidman now

The movie’s cast was definitely perfect

But the movie baaaad

I like it a bunch although I think it goes downhill once Hemsworth shows up. Good performance, but I feel like the pacing gets pretty bad in the third act.

My Lovely Horse posted:

I don't think it's a useful approach to thinking about fiction to essentially ignore that it's fiction and produced with the ressources of the real world. If you meticulously track the convoluted theoretical biography of a man who is both unusually long-lived and looks uncannily like the real-world actor Brad Pitt across 30 movies while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge that Brad Pitt simply gets cast in a lot of movies, I'm afraid you will come off looking a bit loopy.

But he still can’t read, right?

There’s a black-and-white version of Parasite too. I’m quite interested in seeing that. Black & Chrome is really interesting and cool but it doesn’t come close to beating the original for me, the colour work in that movie is just so incredible
