It is in my top 10 favorite films, probably because I invested too much time trying to figure it out 10 years ago.

It was a completely different experience this time. I understood it.
I saw that on Netflix streaming but I haven't watched it in 10ish years? I was intrigued to give it another spin, but haven't yet. I think you just convinced me to watch it again this week.

doc's wrong, it's not top-ten good. It's top-five good.

Baz Luhrmann is history's greatest monster. Every time I see this scene in Hot Fuzz, it makes me think of how awful Baz Luhrmann is:

Granted, the only Baz Luhrmann film I've seen (Strictly Ballroom), I hated, but I'm not sure where the skepticism towards The Great Gatsby is coming from, because that story screams excess. Though, I do tend to love really flashy films.

Romeo + Juliet is playing at the Drafthouse this month, so I'm probably gonna catch it, and I've been meaning to see Moulin Rouge.

"Butter" was one of the better movies I've seen in the last 12 months. It was a little darker little miss sunshine.
