At an appropriate time, I would very much be into another limited series adaptation, preferably on HBO. If it’s on Netflix I will commit arson.

One of the many dumb rules I give myself when it comes to my Letterboxd is that I have to watch a film twice before giving it all five stars.
Today I am breaking that rule, because Fail Safe is flat out one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I have ever beared witness to. Holy fucking shit.

Almost nothing more fun movie-wise than showing this to people who haven’t seen it.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Spent the week watching this in pieces and boy did it impress.
A movie and a show are very different things, so there’s no real reason to compare them. I love them both for different reasons.
Given the gift of time, the TV show is the truer adaptation of the book (which is my favorite book of all time, as if it needed to be said) but not the better one in my opinion.
The film tweaks some things, combines…

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…

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…

An endlessly moving portrait of grief. It’s ridiculous that Portman lost the Oscar to Emma Stone, as great as she is.
Probably the biggest snub or whatever of the last decade.

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.

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.
