Writing these songs... from the sky down
Get me an acoustic guitar at the speed of light
Went to look up Edge's acoustic cover of Achtung Baby classic "Love is Blindness" and ended up watching the whole thing. The story of my favorite band making my favorite album is a good one!
Amazing to hear the development of "Mysterious Ways," and how it brought about the birth of "One" a song that is responsible for the band existing to this day.
I really really really need a similar documentary about the making of Songs of Innocence.

NOTES REVIEW:
- Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.
- Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.
- “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.
- “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.
- I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

Happy 80th Uncle Al ❤️
Had the itch to rewatch ever since I saw a clip of Pacino guarding his glasses from falling off a table a couple weeks ago. Twitter, as it turns out, is good for something!!
Despite having a filmography that scratches a lot of itches for different types of movie watches, it feels like Michael Mann is an underrated filmmaker. When I think of my favorite directors, I don’t even think of him, despite the star…

Lmaooooo. Comrade. Failures of capitalism. Stalin getting laser-eyed to death. “America First!” This was ridiculous.
On the one hand, I really appreciate these DC animation movies for bringing classic graphic novels to life in a different medium.
On the other, they take great stories and adapt them seemingly as cheaply as possible, which shows in the final product. Red Son is the latest example of that. It’s not as awful as Hush from last year, but it’s also not as…

I go to the building that bookends the movie a lot.
God I miss New York so much.

Thrilled to report that this still wholly, completely, totally owns from start to finish.
Everyone is hot, the music bangs and this movies comedic sensibilities are off the charts great. Truly one of the most under-appreciated movies of the 2010’s.
We should be getting one of these every few years until the end of time, but alas, it flopped. Damn you all to hell.

It’s Scott Pilgrim, but stupid.
Daniel Radcliffe is legitimately great tho. Gotta support my man.

It says ‘stay.’
In prep for daddy’s eventual 11th film, as well as a farewell to my beloved apartment in Manhattan, I came into this watch ready to cry. I did.
I’m not going to argue that this is Nolan’s tightest film, or even his best, but I will die on the hill that to date, it is the movie that best encompasses his skills as a storyteller. And it’s just great to see him make a movie as good…

The most puzzling thing about Jon Stewart's second film Irresistible is that it's nothing like him. It's not clever, empathetic, insightful or, even though the twist tries to convince you otherwise, informative. Instead, Irresistible is a movie with an identity crisis.
The one thing that could have saved the movie is Carrell, who unfortunately is doing the usual schtick. His character doesn't come within 25 miles of being likable, which is a…
