"That's really the one part, to me, where it crosses the line from whimsical slapstick to just full on torture."

Alright, later, dudes. S you in your As, don't wear a C, and J all over your Bs.

Oh, god. That whole sequence at the end is even more heartbreaking with the context of PTA's episode of WTF With Marc Maron earlier this year where he said he watched Scent Of A Woman or something and instantly knew that PSH was for him and he was for PSH.

I want the record to be perfectly clear, though: I think Boogie Nights is maybe the best movie ever made. I could watch it a million fucking times.

Deakins is unreal. That shot of them walking below the horizon at dusk in Sicario was worth the price of admission and honestly also having to listen to some people chat through the whole thing. Just beautiful.

Yeah, and Javier Bardem is somehow there doing a parody of his character from The Counselor, which was awesome but also kind of a parody. It just stunk. And seriously, after watching the movie I started trying to think of a single Sean Penn performance I liked and I couldn't name even one. Except maybe I Am Sam, if

I desperately wish Key & Peele would do a monthly YouTube movie review webseries as those characters.

Right?! That's one of the best parts of the movie. Those shots are totally gorgeous. I regret never having been able to go to a department store that looked like that!

I see the worst in people, Narrator. I don't need to look past seing them to get all I need. I've built up my hatreds over the years, little by little. Having you here gives me a second breath of life. I can't keep doing this on my own… with these… people. I hate most people.

Actually, it was the most I've ever loved any of his stuff upon first viewing and I'll take a couple of guesses as to why: I was at a real lowpoint in my life at the time and maybe could identify with the Freddie (like, his alcoholism and sexual obsessions made total sense to me, maybe); I had very recently at the

I like Fincher a lot, but that would have been the worst thing I had ever paid money to see in a theater if it weren't for Lady In The Water, which I stayed awake during because I was enraged at how bad it was.

Rewatched The Master. Probably my favorite movie about mental illness and addiction and loneliness and unrequited manlove.

It absolutely was. I was actually embarrassed for Sean Penn, who I've never actually liked, but this just felt desperate. Like, late in the movie he's gunfighting some guys while wearing a bulletproof vest and no shirt underneath it. And it wasn't established that there was a reason he wouldn't be wearing a shirt. He

I know he hates Kubrick's version of The Shining and that both the book and film versions are set in Colorado, but there is something almost unspeakably wonderful about living within walking distance of Stephen King's creepy ass house in Bangor, Maine during the winter and watching that movie when you're snowed in.

Oh, and I watched The Gunman, which just turned up on Netflix. Holy shit, what a piece of shit. Idris Elba is the second-billed actor — SECOND-FUCKING-BILLED, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE IT GOES: SEAN PENN, THE GUNMAN, IDRIS ELBA — and he's in it for like ten minutes. And is the most compelling part of the movie, of

I agree, and I thought Prisoners was maybe the most unnerving movie I've seen the last couple of years. A fairly realistic situation taken way over the line and it's not hard to see why.

Was he fine in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button? I honestly don't know. That's the only time I've ever fallen asleep in a movie theater.

Definitely!

No TV movie rights or book deals for Bigfoot. Even the extra work is drying up, God help us all. Dentists on trampolines.

I haven't seen MI3 since it first came out, but I'd be curious to see what it looks like now. My main reference for Tom Cruise and Philip Seymour Hoffman interacting is obviously Magnolia, although I feel like PSH would be the one dropkicking dogs in MI3.
