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

Snake Eyes 1998
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 1989
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.

Broadcast News 1987
after they established that William Hurt's character was dumb, and he was eating that egg at the party and he dropped it I said: that's me, I'm that guy, I want to be the other guy, but I'm not, I'm him.
