    Jacques Tati’s 1984. Truly audacious production design. Mixes neo-noir with cyberpunk with German Expressionism with art deco with a dozen others and somehow makes it all work together. Gilliam’s slapstick nihilism still isn’t really my thing, but this is the most I’ve appreciated it.

    Appropriately, I feel like as I get older I'll think less and less of this movie until it turns into a baby and I never think about it ever again. But at the time? Decent yarn! Terrible accents!

    Me, for the first 5-10 minutes: This is sort of familiar and lightweight.
    Me, for the rest of the movie: I’m not crying, there's just something in my eye. In both of my eyes. Shut up.

    I knew I was disappointed that I would never see LCD Soundsystem live, but now I'm fucking devastated.
