    i often wonder whether my cynicism is unhealthy or pragmatic, or if these things are mutually exclusive at all. felt a lot while watching but i'm unwilling, or maybe unable, to really articulate any of it

    this movie is fucking awesome. i like the part where hoffman just unceremoniously uses that girlcop's corpse like a muppet to trick the other cop into opening the door. it's like a looney tunes bit. it fucking shreds

    absolutely nothing meaningful was adapted from the book. which would be fine, i guess, if it actually said or did anything interesting as a standalone piece?? but the most it did was bastardize the imagery of the book and therein betray a poor understanding of the original narrative. nothing new or interesting was done here. this movie was a bland, chewed-and-spat-up distortion of the original text
