    Franco Nero is a top 3 spaghetti western icon for me after this film. His appearance in Unchained means so much more now and I finally understand why Tarantino took so much influence!

    Unfortunately the dub was particularly bad, and I won’t lie that it took me out of a few…

    ★★★★½

    Absolutely revolutionary cinematography with an excellent narrative to boot. Loved the references to the late and beyond great Sidney Poitier. Loved just about everything about this.

    There’s something to be said about the feeling of relief I felt when the guy approached El at that bar. Knowing it’s a friend and not an enemy. Fuck. 

    I was blubbering up during every scene involving Elwood’s Nana, and that ending. Maybe I’m just particularly emotional tonight idk
    This one had me so fucked up. I literally finished it and started doing other things then started tearing up again fucks sake

    Clint Eastwood’s response to the glossy stank of Hollywood westerns is a brutal exercise in mounting terror. Not for those hoping to see a heroic and well-meaning protagonist do some nice things for some townsfolk.

    Routinely eerie and possibly Eastwood’s darkest directorial effort

    Ugly movie

    So fucking cool.

    When I watched Foxy Brown I expected the other Jack Hill x Pam Grier collaboration, “Coffy”, to be an equally cathartic and authentic example of Blaxsploitation cinema. I expected Grier to be as badass and strong as she is in Foxy Brown, just as I expected the story and dialogue to be comparably satisfying and gritty. Coffy delivers on this and more some. 

    What I didn’t expect was a fierce exploration of how Black men in perceived…
