Most of the reviews go up on YouTube as well.

There has been a hell of a lot of padding since the pandemic, perhaps understandably, but I still end up listening to the whole pod on a Saturday morning walk. Feels comforting in a way.

Enjoyed All The President’s Men, think I watched it when I was a teenager but couldn’t really remember any of it beyond the really famous scenes. Something great about watching such a slow, methodically paced investigation, it is kind of mad how long Watergate took to pan out to its conclusion, Watching it again it did feel like a bit of a strange decision not to cover the period after Nixon’s re-election at all though.

Hoffman’s trousers and hair are both massively iconic imo

I watched The Cable Guy last night. Kind of a solid 3 out of 5 film, that. I can see why it has a cult appeal because it is one of those films reckoning with informational overload and its effects that feels vaguely and strangely prescient (and there’s one scene towards the end that really is haunting and weird in a way that feels, for about a minute, like the film is having a psychogenic fugue or something).

But also I can see why it was kind of a disappointment at the time - as a comedy, it’s funny but doesn’t really sustain that for the entire film; and it doesn’t lean quite as far into the underlying horror and unease. Punch-Drunk Love gets the ratio better, I’d say, when it comes to doing that weird recontextualisation of a popular screen comedian’s persona thingy

Think the actual article is pretty good too (The Ringer is one of my fav sites for pop-culture generally, though very American-centric)

Want to start doing a little more on Letterboxd now, might note down some basic review thoughts. Nice to see why I thought something was a 3/5, and always enjoyed reading other disers hot takes on there

As much as I like Wes Anderson, give some other directors a chance Criterion UK!

Barbarella was so much fun, the sets and outfits were just :ok_hand:

Not sure it made a lick of sense but between the look and the killer soundtrack, just a great time
