“Help yourself to a hand grenade.”


The comedy of errors that ensues in the battle of bureaucracy vs blunt male capitalistic hubris. A solid, wacky, theatrical carousel of characters, as was expected, but with some excellent unexpected shot selections, camera movements, and gags. The cast in that carousel is a smorgasbord. Benicio del Toro is perfectly detached from reality. Scarlett Johansson and Rupert Friend caught my eye, of course, along with my ear to Alexandre Desplat. W.A. can always be counted on for an eccentric escape from the real world.

“And, you know, what is the national interest? I mean, it’s whatever interest they want it to be.”

The United States government is incomprehensibly and shamelessly corrupt. The imperialist christian ruling class that has amassed power over the last century could reprint their precious bible infinitely using all the blood they’ve spilled in pursuit of societal control.

A great, really well made documentary. Even if not fully definitive, it is shocking and effective in illuminating the systems that allow powerful men to blindly ruin lives in the U.S.

Saw The Lost World: Jurassic Park in a theater for the first time today, on 35mm at New Beverly Cinema. It was a magical experience, like watching its gorgeous warmth and deep greens on film for the first time. 🦖

🔥 Incredible. Gorgeous, powerful, entrancing film.
