  The Truman Show 1998

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  First time seeing the whole thing, I remember seeing bits of this on cable as a kid & being off-put because it’s almost a horror movie

  I wish Jim would’ve been nominated for this & also great score 

  It’s funny that this comes out right before the big boom of reality tv, this says so much about who we are as an audience, for gods sake they make him think his father drowned.. how is it that only Sylvia has a heart?…

  Naked 1993

  ★★★★½ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  There are so many quotes of Johnny that I would love to share, but there’s too many to choose just one

  Wow, hopeless cinema you win again. 

  I am pretty new to Leigh & I was going to start with this film it being my birth year and all & perhaps his most acclaimed, but I’m glad I didn’t because I could see how peachy & creamy his other works could make you feel & then there’s THIS!

  We all know a Johnny, someone…
