Nice. Yeah it's one of my dad's favorite movies so we watch it all the time. That and Raising Arizona. I've always loved Gene Wilder. Definitely was an A+ actor in my book.

It was the same with when I finally watched Caddyshack. Didn't really sink in the first time around.

Watched The Hateful Eight. One of Tarantino's better movies, but I'm still disappointed that he's of course going to resort to a final act full of nothing but grotesque cartoon violence like - of course - he's always going to. First 2 hours were good all the same. Even if some of the dialogue is a bit heavy handed. A couple scenes where I wanted to turn to Tarantino and say "Yes. I get it. You can move on."

Oh well. Good enough movie. Jackie Brown is still the best Tarantino movie to me.

Hateful Eight is adorable. Definitely the best movie about a white supremacist and a black supremacist coming together to hang a woman.

Has anyone seen The Favourite yet? Yorgos Lanthimos to me is the most interesting filmmaker working today (The Killing of a Sacred Deer in particular is one of the best movies to come out in a long time IMO), and this is the first one that has generated Best Picture kind of buzz so I'm really excited for it.

In an effort to leave myself alone with my mind as little as possible today, I watched Bram Stoker's Dracula again (the 1993 Coppola movie). Been a few years since I last watched it, but I see clearly why it's still one of my all time favorite movies. It's beautiful and atmospheric like few other movies. I caught endless little details of set design and editing that helps set a very particular "gothic romance" type of atmosphere. I love how the ending - the final showdown with Dracula - is tragically romantic rather than a mere action scene or horrific, bloody climax. No wonder chicks dig this movie so much. It's a heart breaker!

The movie makes me wanna say "they don't make them like they used to". It's just so damned impressively made. Seems to me that "big budget movie" mostly means sterile CGI these days. Bah! Give me fog machines, fake blood and creature makeup any day of the week.

The soundtrack by Wojciech Kilar is absolutely stunning and contributes mightily to the dense atmosphere of this film.

I generally hate horror movies, but this one is still a 10/10 movie to me.

I love how the asylum scenes remind me of Tim Burton Batman. You can't tell me Coppola doesn't have a sense of humor.

An actual funny moment in the movie is where Coppola cuts from a beheading to a closeup of some meat on a dinner table, causing you to go "eww" when it cuts, even though it looks appetizing when the camera zooms out.
