i hadn't seen this movie in over 10 years and loved it on this rewatch. it gets a bad rap for being like a "film bro" movie but it's so much more than that. bret easton ellis rules and this adaptation has to be one of the best ever

it’s so good and i feel like people who wholeheartedly dismiss it as a “film bro” film are just as unaware of the film’s meaning / background as the so-called “film bros” themselves bc it’s a commentary on capitalism which is hardly a shallow bro-y thing

The business card scene is unironically one of the finest in cinema. It manages to both convey the tension and life-or-death stakes that Patrick is feeling while reminding you that literally none of this matters.

After Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly was given 20 million to make "Southland Tales". A film that got booed out of Cannes film festival, grossed only 300,000 worldwide box office, and practically killed the man's film career (before the very recent news of his return). After finally getting around to watching it, I simply cannot understand how anyone didn't enjoy the hell out of this movie. It has aged beautifully, the cast is fucking loaded and all over the place (The Rock, Stifler, Wallace Shawn, Justin Timberlake, Amy Poehler + many more), and in a very silly/fun way satirizes post 9/11 hysteria and political dispersion/stupidity in america without being very preachy. Yes it's sporadic, but there's so many quotables and memorable scenes that are hilarious and just batshit fucking insane Hollywood truly needs to return to giving money to psychos and letting them run wild with their vision. it creates a truly unique film experience such as this one that I could not recommend more.

this movie is an absolute classic!!! A master class in near dystopian, end of world, love story with a side of eccentrics that can only be found in films made over ten years ago. Is it cringe?? HELL NO. its a sign of those times update: it also feels SO american in a way thats so comforting. I miss the unbridled patriotism sometimes

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
