Nope, haven't. Expect a young, but still-look-the-same Tommy Lee Jones :lol:

And just to clarify, it's no Cagney "white heat" over-the-top style (not that I don't like it!), but it's very inwardly created by Pitt, that even silence suggests nuance. Casey Affleck is aptly casted, and performed to the effect, brother Ben, should quit acting and take up filmmaking. :lol:

Above all, the cinematography is so great that ever frame has beauty of its own. Specially an excessive usage of time-lapse photography, steadicam, Aerocrane and some handheld by Deakins himself. And some of the lighting by Deakins is so clever technique. The first train robbery (surprisingly similar to "White heat" in many ways and yet so different) is probably the best set-piece of the year

that's how you do a film. :clap:

very well written. quite agree to all ur points, esply the affleck one! :lol:

I played it for a friend in his projector and surround sound system. I think film deserves to be seen with similar ambiance, a lifelong aim is to own original 35mm of such films, and build a theater to screen them. It really is a overwhelming desire of mine.

And that's a major reason why I like chapters with Shosanna (and her bf, the theater projectionist) in "Inglorious basterds".

It's achievable, but as all great things required, discipline and some luck.

I once spent a couple of hours watching back to back screenings where I comprised 33% of the audience in this private theatre.You may find it interesting. :-)

Wow, they own "The Triumph of the Will". which could definitely be one of chief inspiration for owning a movie house. Mine (if it happens :lol: ) would actually be "Sherlock Jr." a silent film which released 10 years prior, not exactly for the subject matter but some of the shots like tracking handheld one which captures a couple of men walking in the street, then Keaten moonwalking over the train :lol: and hanging by the massive water fueler for steam engine. The moving and fixed camera throughout the film. The shot with camera fixed to the motercycle just escaping the train, etc. The final care chase and hilarious finale of car-turned-boat sinking and cut to Keaton waking from dream-within-movie-within-movie. The superb soundtrack throughout, whoa.. That's exactly the kind of reels to own, as against say the modern era crap like "Loose change".

Groucho. Agree re. Holmes under the influence in many scenes. Downey jr. suggested it well and his room did too. :lol:

Btw seen "A decade under the influence" a popular documentary on 70's cinema. Decent watch.

Drag me to hell.

After a long long time, a good horror movie to watch..
