    Disillusioned white boys will literally cut off their own fingers before they even try attending therapy…

    The most terrifying part of this 3 hour odyssey on the self-destruction of the human race was being jumpscared by the appearance of that cretin Casey Affleck. The scream I scrumpt!

    Reynolds Woodcock is the final boss of male manipulators. I bet he would have fucking loved podcasts.

    Prime Connery and Lumet make for an insane pairing and this did not disappoint in the least. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. Awesome finale.

    Sometimes I second-guess giving something five stars simply because I do it so often, but then I remember that movies fucking rip and after that I don’t care. 

    I still remember my mom taking me to see the midnight premiere of this for my twelfth birthday and I doubt I’ll ever forget it. For my money this has the best performances of any Bond film — Dench, Bardem and Craig are all truly superb. Deakins’ cinematography was such a good addition to the series.

    ★★★★★

    Idiosyncratic as hell as far as film structure goes, doesn’t really have a central plot arc or a focus on any character or group of characters in particular. Instead, Nashville is a broad stroke portrait of a city, a country and a people. So impressive that someone could stuff such an effective summary of Americana and the American cultural machine into a less than 3 hour package. Masterpieceee.
