Pearce might give one of my 10 favorite performances of the decade here, but as a whole I just couldn’t get on this movie’s wavelength. Maybe I could have in the 2.5 hour version that’s buried within.

I’m sorry, I just couldn’t get over Nosferatu looking like zombie Jim Carrey from those sonic movies.

Timmy is going to conquer the world, holy cow. 

A Complete Unknown is admittedly a superficial look at Dylan, but I think that’s the point. 

The mystery and contradictions that surround him is what makes Bob who he is. And the film makes the case that Bob Dylan is what he does to the world around him, by being such an off-beat, singular figure. It’s an argument that I fully bought into.

Wicked gave me goosebumps multiple times. How embarrassing.

No, actually there is something wrong with Binghamton.

Great book, better movie. I will watch this 1,000 more times.

My neck is gonna hurt for a week from the whiplash that the scene of the modern day parents telling their son what to do if he’s pulled over by a cop gave me. Zemeckis, you’re a madman.

Bob seems to have fallen into this mode directors of his age seem to fall into where telling a story is almost an end to justify the means of playing with new tech. I don’t really like that, though I have to admit this was a surprisingly compelling watch.

I wonder what dress Mikey Madison is going to be wearing when she wins the Oscar in a few months.

This movie made me realize there is probably a split reality somewhere in the universe where Donald Trump is the beloved but insane owner of my New York Yankees and Hal Steinbrenner is a cartoonishly evil President Businessman.

Go Yanks! Beat Cleveland/Detroit!

This is not a good movie, but it’s bad in much more interesting ways than its predecessor, and there’s a high chance it ruins the first one for all of the Joker bros. Nice job, Todd.

The script might have needed another pass.
