    So cool that Tim Burton shared the same fate as our eponymous agora fetishist and went on to just tons of incredible critical success after this movie.

    I use rogaine so that I don’t look like Mark Wahlberg someday.

    All Quiet on the Western Front

    ★★

    Along with Dunkirk and 1917, All Quiet on the Western Front advances a new form of big budget war movie that attempts to wring out emotion by way of sheer brutal intensity and force you to submit to its immaculately designed spectacle. Beyond defanging the material of any authentic moral dimension, and in spite of some occasional successes, All Quiet fails just because it makes brutality feel surprisingly bloodless.

    I love this vision of Oklahoma. Tornadoes stalk and kill people like capricious gods prone to bouts of wanton cruelty. Every small town is destined for annihilation. The only reason to live here is because of some unspoken tontine where outlasting the bozos who get sucked up before you brings you closer to tasting pussy from a girl who’s like the horse whisperer but for storms.
