Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.
Incredible movie, Ludwig Göransson is a god among men.

Ah, the dreaded Sophomore Slump.
Cooper understandably is feeling himself after A Star is Born, one of the finest debuts of recent memory. That movie, blueprint be damned had the energy and ingenuity of someone who’d been working to that point for their entire lives.
Maestro finds him in both Prestige Director AND Cool Shot mode, which are very dangerous places to be, especially when you’re thrust into the former so quickly.
The images he and Matthew Libatique compose are…

Maybe the key ingredient to making a great movie is just to let Jason Clarke interrogate people with an escalating amount of intensity.

Phil picked his “I guess I should be in a franchise movie here and there” projects like the best of ‘em, and crushed it every time. Miss him.

Say what you will about the filmmaking choices, but the casting is just off-the-charts good. This also made for an interesting watch post Songbirds and Snakes.
Great concept, great execution, these movies are really good!

I’ve been eager to revisit this after Killers of the Flower Moon. Being only a few minutes longer, it’s interesting to see how Marty utilizes each film’s length and to what purpose.
Killers spends every available minute immersing you into a time and place that’s been both overlooked and underserved before now, using its final minutes to reckon with its own role in the tragedy-to-entertainment cycle. Irishman puts a character’s glory days and shopping of their own casket 50 years later…

When Chuck came back, someone had to explain Bill Clinton and the cigar to him. That would have been a funny scene.

★★½ Rewatched 08 Nov 2023
Bob Altman hangs on a wide shot for over two hours, and the film never changes its pace or tone, which makes the movie feel like you’re going around in circles. A weird one!

Of all the possibilities that could be chosen to power a supernatural death mask, Tommy Lee Wallace picks Stongehenge. The 1980s were a magical and exciting time.

Might not ever get over that Falcone reveal and how clunky and lame it is in a movie that is otherwise perfect.
Part II soon, please!

Absolutely lost my mind when the horseman stabbed that guys head to pick it up off the ground like he was poking an olive with a toothpick.

Really thought this would finally pop for me on rewatch, it didn’t.
There’s so much clunky exposition, the filmmaking is uncharacteristically sloppy for Nolan (8 minutes from day to night? Gotham making no continuital sense, the letter in the coat, cops hair/clothing staying the same, John Blake, oy) and despite the overarching theme of wealth disparity feeling like it would fit in perfectly with a blended Dark Knight Returns/No Man’s Land/Knightfall storyline, the ingredients just don’t mix. Maybe take one…
