Caught Boyhood and thought it was really good.
One of the things i liked the most about it was seeing how technology over the span of time.
The soundtrack was pretty good too--highlighting popular songs at the time.

Finally saw Interstellar. Amazing, incredible, mind-boggling and at times outlandish.
Yes, I certainly found a couple of small flaws, but by and large I thought it was a fun ride.
And when it ended, I found myself saying, "Give me just 10 more minutes." The ending reminded me of the way I felt at the end of Gravity.

Dicaprio is turning into Orson Welles.
It would be kind if great if he cranked out a few cinematic masterpieces in the next few years and then down the line started shilling Paul Masson Chablis.

Dicaprio would have to get a hell of a lot fatter to be Orson Welles. But maybe he could make an Orson Welles biopic.

Re: movies
Saw "Inherent Vice". I liked it. I think it's the first comedy he's ever made, basically a satire of film noir. Had about eight billion actors in it. Did NOT have the long tracking shot I was expecting. Of course, I might have missed because, like an idiot, I got a large soda as I was going into the movie. But unless I did miss it it's the first PT Anderson film without one of his tracking shots.
And I tried to pay as close attention as I could but I still don't know who killed the guy Michael K. Williams was looking for, or why. And I think the mystery of who kidnapped the rich dude was unrelated to the drug business but I'm not sure.
Reese Witherspoon should have had more to do.
The good news is that PTA's "never made a bad movie" record is intact.

Watched "Five Easy Pieces" the other day on TCM. Was surprised to find out that the attractive bosomy woman was Sally Struthers.
Also, loved the ending. Perfect anti-hero character study that would never get made in a million years today.

It's one of the more bizarre low-budget martial arts films out there, this one with Loren Avedon, who really ought to have been a bigger star than he turned out (although he was apparently somewhat difficult to work with). A guy has to avenge his friend's death, but the friend comes back as a ghost to help him out.
