    Conclave 2024

    ★★★½ Rewatched 29 Dec 2024

    It’s an airport novel plot pretending to be Shakespeare, which it almost does with all the top notch acting, but the last ten minutes were silly. Though Conclave 2 should be interesting.

    A Complete Unknown 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2024

    This really hits my rock ‘n’ roll songwriter itch so I bumped it up to 4 stars. Sometimes it’s just fun to be in a rock stars orbit for a little over two hours. Acting across the board was top notch. Music scenes were great. Even though the condensed timeframe helps it avoid a lot of the music biopic sins, it still commits a few:

    1. Someone reading lyrics to an unfinished song that will become a huge hit for the artist later on
    2. People chasing artist into a car

    After watching this in theaters I walked around the East Village trying to get hit by a bus so I live out the plot of this movie.

    The most rewatchable movie of all-time?? I'm not sure but it's damn near close. You are never more than 15 minutes away from an amazing scene, take your pick (of my picks):

    1. The crew introductions
    2. You're a funny guy
    3. The Copacabana scene
    3. No go home and get your fuckin' shine box
    4. Dinner with Mrs. Scorcese
    5. Making the sauce in jail
    6. Merry Christmas
    7. The Layla outro scene
    8. Coked out Henry Hill following helicopters


    Don't agree, fuck you! Now take me to jail.
