  Just because a movie is sad does not mean it's good.

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Aug 2024

  I just watched Ronald Reagan get into a fistfight with a pig and lose. A foreseeable altercation given his hostility toward air traffic controllers at home and the larger Italian aeronautics community abroad.

  "Humans As Literal Corporate Property: A Film With Many Ketchup Packets"

  Generally succeeds as a big fun action movie and as commentary on the nature of human identity. The political commentary falls a bit flat, willing to lampoon the superficial failings of a post-Reagan economy but uninterested in exploring the perspectives of those most affected by it. The only glimpses of the general population we see are the city criminals, portrayed as over-the-top psychotic goons deserving of their punishment.

  I am jealous of that four-inch metal spike-port though. RCA pales in comparison.

  The Man Who Knew Too Much 1934

  ★★★ Added

  I learned three important things from this film:
  1) I can't tell white men in suits apart from each other.
  2) British cowboy-shootouts in London without soundtrack music are refreshingly tense, with a focused and uncluttered atmosphere.
  3) Not enough chairs were destroyed in the making of this film.
