Finally took in this quotable classic!
Eve Harrington is such a freak, the ending is satisfying fair play. Bette Davis gets to have the most fun, and her guy Gary Merrill strikes me as very modern.

North by Northwest 1959
Lotsa fun stuff here, but I just didn't feel the implied heat between Cary and Eva - despite the sexy flirty dialog on the train. Compare with 'Notorious' and the Cary-Ingrid romance. Also a slightly creepy relationship with Mother.

Mickey 17 2025
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
A Burroughsian dystopia / political satire / alien contact mishmash - for me this was a little too loose given my expectations for BJH.
If anything I'd say it just doesn't go far enough given our current reality.
Some quibbles: Space ship interior design is quite drab other than the glowing garbage hole. And everyone asks Mickey what it's like to die - but I don't see how he'd know given the copies are made from his live self. Better to ask what it's like to be born again.Translated from by -
