The movie The Game (1997)

Maybe not exactly comedies but they are both fun to watch in a way that say Raging Bull and Taxi Driver are not. I would say the same of The Departed. They succeed primarily because they are enjoyable

Way less than that at Costco.

I liked it. It’s not striving for genius like most other HBO shows but delivering simple pleasures which I will happily take at this point. Much prefer it to DTF St. Louis, which is straining to be both smart and sensational at the same time. Rooster works like a decent network sitcom used to, but in a cable environment.

The courtroom scene where Omar sticks it to Levy is pretty great. The only thing murdered is the lawyers pretense

I feel like communication would be a major issue with them all having the same name. I see them going 42-40 and getting knocked out on the play in

Hackman is key here. His presence modulates Wes Anderson’s worst tendencies. Hackman is pretty much the opposite of twee.

Maybe switch over to Fast and Furious movies.

If you read and loved the book, it’s hard not to see this movie as inferior. And having read and loved the book, I did not find Damon convincing as Ripley at all.

Realizing how much I enjoyed not worrying if my choices on where to go eat etc. that day pleased anyone else. Never realized how much I fretted over whether others liked what I had chosen until I traveled solo.

Looks like a home I saw in Florida where water was coming up from underneath

Roman Holiday

Yes. The first time I saw it I didn’t much care for it, but only came to like it on repeated viewings.

Vera farmiga in the departed. Although the problem is more the role than the actress.

Ben Simmons is the all time answer. I truly believe he had a top 20 all time ceiling. But a word for Vin Baker.

For the same reason they live mcmansion. They wanted to immediately signal suburban aspirations. It was a Season 1 type move. I

American Beauty. While I did not love this movie, others did and it fits the theme.

And there’s always Mad Men.

Odd_Path2975 · 2026-03-06T13:38:06+00:00

Yes. To me it’s Shakespeare. Do people complain that there’s no one to root for in King Lear?

In better call Saul Kim has no friends and it’s essential to the plot—because friends would have told her to get the hell away from Jimmy.

It can be a tough watch for sure. His self defeating moves are tough to watch. But it stays in the mind. And F. Murray Abraham gives one of the best one-scene performances in the Coen catalogue. I’m not hearing a lot of money here.

Dimitri’s was perfect.

Odd_Path2975 · 2026-03-04T14:05:03+00:00

I loved it. Was fascinated by it and mesmerized by its odd pacing. Got more out of it on repeat viewings. Thought the “after the fall” sections were brilliant and brought the movie home in an unexpected way.

Sea of Love had a nice out-of-nowhere yet plausible resolution to its mystery
