Hot take: Suspiria is actually…not very good. Lasted about 25 minutes before I turned it off; I found the color palette hypnotic to look at, but the scary music simply cheapened the material for me. Will give it another shot at some point, though, because it may have been just me.
Kiss Me Deadly is not just the greatest noir ever made. It's one of the greatest films ever made, period. And I'm not being hyperbolic.
No, they were playing it at Chipotle over the speakers.

I saw Jackie Brown quite recently. Beautiful, beautiful film.
Tony Rocky Horror got thrown out of a six story building for giving Mia Wallace a foot massage. Did he deserve it?
Anyone else unmistakably reminded of Reservoir Dogs each and every time time one hears Stealer Wheel's Stuck In The Middle With You? One of a handful of songs that's now inseparable from the film. (see also: The Doors - The End, Apocalypse Now.)
Amended.
