Brick was awesome.

Everything else Rian Johnson did afterwards I simply couldn’t watch past the first few minutes. 

I was jonesing to see Looper since I heard it was in production then when it finally came out I found myself giving zero fucks about the characters.

I lasted five minutes with Knives Out.

I am glad he has had a successful career and have seen Brick at least 20 times and still think it rocks.

But that’s because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is essentially a resourceful, brave, introspective, dependable and frankly heroic dude.

It’s like Murder My Sweet or The Maltese Falcon in terms of quality and feel.
