no retroactive logging, no stars, maybe reviews, generous with the 'like' button. I am not attempting to cultivate good taste.

    trust the openly sleazy blue collar guy, otherwise you're stuck with the squeaky clean ambitious secret psycho. Presumably a Jimmy Hoffa parable

    sex, lies, and videotape

    a movie about sex without sex, absence of sex as pornography, pornography that still functions as pornography after it's been stripped of its excesses (Graham's apartment is "kind of a minimalist vibe").

    also a movie about being stuck in a moment in time and the illusion that this moment can ever be revisited (facilitated by technology) and how this robs you of vitality, leaving you incapable of real connection.

    cliff martinez did the score for this and years later worked with soderbergh on the Knick, together they have remarkable audio visual compatibility.
