Nothing but a motorized flea circus where people swear they can see the fleas.

They must be doing well in chemistry class (they’re high schoolers with good chemistry)

I’m seated. My wife is asking me to stop watching Fountain of Youth and get off the couch and help with the housework but I’m simply scrolling on my phone while watching the Fountain of Youth and I’m too seated.

Basically the opposite of a Final Destination movie: Tom Cruise narrowly cheats death one elaborate set piece after another. The Grim Reaper’s watching like, “Damn, this is my Mission Impossible.”

I must say, damn good stuff sir.

Hey Siri play Darude - Sandstorm and play it fucking LOUD

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. But your stars might land in some questionable prosthetics.

Probably the weakest entry in the series. But when the low point of your franchise is the roof of a Shanghai skyscraper, you’ve still got a pretty awesome view.

Tony Gilroy: Star Wars Jesus. And lo, the word of the lord was, “Let there be plot” – and as once we were lost, now we are found. Forever and Andor, Amen.

Every man in this meets Thandie Newton and immediately forgets his mission.

The kids have been watching Frozen a lot. I needed something even colder.

Watching this feels like a warm hug. Oh, you thought that was a hug? Look, there’s a knife in your back.

I’d rather build a snowman

Graffiti: BAISE LA POLICE / ARASH TA MÈRE
Subtitles: [fuck the police] / [fuck your mother]

I come across the film, Coherence. Hmm, sounds interesting. I Google it:

noun
1. the quality of being logical and consistent.

Perfect, those are exactly the qualities I love in a film.

30 minutes in: Oh dear god, what have I done…

A perfect movie, man (I mean Ghostbusters, of course. You don't know that movie?)

Now I am become Dredd – buster of heads, kicker of teeth, deliverer of one liners.

Ah the ‘90s, when a dystopian techno-surveillance police state still had the decency of feeling like sci-fi escapism. How quaint!

Breaking: The zombies have been appointed to lead the National Transportation Safety Board

She does have that dog in her, but unfortunately the dog’s got that man in him.

This is a fairy tale with magical spells and talking candles and shit and the hardest part to believe is that this beast guy is only 20 years old.

How would you rate Kiki’s Delivery Service today?
[taps five stars]

How much would you like to tip Kiki today?
| 25% | 20% | 15% | 10% | No added tip |
[sheepishly taps “no added tip”…]

We don’t even need 100 men to defeat the gorilla — Ki-taek’s family would have the gorilla hiring them as his personal assistants in less than a week.

This movie will blow your mind — no, seriously.

YEE – and I can’t stress this enough – HAW!!

So when I eat 6,000 calories a day it’s ‘compulsive overeating’, but when he does it’s a sport?

A great movie for when you just need to …
…
…
…
…
… decompress.

You’re in her DMs. I’m in her digestive tract. We are not the same. 

Luca just fleshes out worlds in his films … certainly a lot to chew on. Reznor/Ross ate the most.

Ariel was my first celebrity crush. She’s still the first spot on my celebrity hall list.

My family used to own a restaurant called The Broadway Deli on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Michael Mann used to hang out there and write and smoke cigarettes. In 1994, Mann was there when he told his producer, Art Linson, that he wanted to produce his screenplay for Heat. They ended up shooting the scene where De Niro first meets Amy Brenneman there at our lunch counter.

A few years later, when Mann and Eric Roth were working on The Insider, they’d write there too. They were both heavy smokers but California had just banned smoking in restaurants. You could still smoke in bars though, and we had a bar that happened to be open in the mornings. Mann and Roth would sit there for hours every morning smoking and writing the Oscar nominated script for The Insider.

The Broadway Deli closed in 2006 – the space is now a Lululemon.

Seth Brundle walks into the baboon store, a little bell rings as the door opens. Joe, the shopkeeper, pokes his head out from the back room, the sign on the back room door reads “Baboon Storage”. 

Joe: “Howdy Seth. What can I do for ya?”

Seth: “Hey Joe, I’m here for my usual. 2 baboons please”

Joe: “Sure thing, Seth. You need a bag?”

I’m something of a techno-atheist infidel myself

Now THAT’S a Religious Vampire Erotic Horror Comedy Romance Drama Fantasy Thriller!

Your move, Kneecap

Me working on my dumb little Letterboxd list no one will ever see: "I could have added one more movie. I could’ve logged one more… I didn’t make the list long enough! [sobbing] I could have added one more film ranking… and I didn’t! I didn’t!”

(P.S. Spielberg really felt bad for the Nazis in Indiana Jones so he made Schindler’s List to remind us why they deserved to have their faces melted off.)

Some of you never experienced complex generational trauma and it shows

My 25 Best Movies of the Century, timed with the release of each new entry on The Big Picture podcast

1. Sicario

   Villeneuve just doesn’t miss. It would be especially hard to miss with Sir Deakins on the lens. A white knuckle thriller anchored by great performances, and capped off by a legendary night vision scene where I didn’t realize I hadn’t breathed until it was over. 

2. Paprika

   Satoshi Kon is probably most famous for the filmmakers he so obviously inspired - notoriously so, like Nolan’s Inception and Aronofsky’s Black Swan. And the inspiration is undeniable. But the films also stand on their own like monuments. The man made 4 perfect films, each so different and unique. This one wowed me the most. 

3. Spider-Man 2

   The perfect meeting of subject and filmmaker. A reminder of how much potential there was still in the superhero genre, and how far we have fallen. It’s bittersweet to think that these movies were once made by people, not corporations. Anyways, bless this silly mess because it crushes.

4. Sideways

   There’s nothing more raw, hilarious, heartfelt, and weirdly beautiful than this, no better roadtrip movie, no better oddball duo, and obviously no fucking merlot.

5. Memories of Murder

   Sure, Parasite is a masterpiece but this is my Bong masterpiece. I love its cinematic lineage and legacy: inspired by David Fincher’s Se7en, and then in turn inspiring Fincher’s own Zodiac. A detective thriller with so many chilling sequences, and simply one of the best the genre has ever seen.

6. La La Land

   I love jazz, I love Damien Chazelle and Justin Hurwitz, I love Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, and I’m sorry but I LOVE THIS MOVIE !! They dance at sunset and they fall in love and it’s really beautiful and at the end it breaks your heart. My generation’s Singin’ In The Rain.
