Theatrical cut obvi. Mann is a genius. Probably my most re-watched movie and the only movie that i reccomend to watch when drinking.
No city has ever looked as raw and beautiful on digital film. The cold open is killer. Gong Li is perfectly miscast. Pure vibes and visuals (my favorite types of movie!)
Also insane lore surrounding the production.

I rewatched it for the first time in ages and even still was on the edge of my seat.Ā Itās a perfect movie. A PERFECT. MOVIE. And even though it didnāt come out in the summer, I think itās the summer movie.Ā Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, murder and MYSTERY. It gets remembered for the leg cross and thatās the least memorable thing about it. Watch it TONIGHT.

Scrolling through some of my recently watchedā¦Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)16th century conquistadores driven to madness in the Andes. You can tell that these dudes were in the shit while filming. Always thought of this film as the original Apocalypse Now. Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski. Good stuff.Badlands (1973)Seen It many times. Timeless visual beauty and performance chemistry between Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. Terrence Malickās directorial debut. Love it.Network (1976)This screened the other night in LA while I was out of town so I rented it for the twentieth time. As relevant now as it was then. A stone-cold masterpiece. Paddy Chayefsky won an Oscar for screenplay, but it lost best picture to Rocky. Taxi Driver was also nominated. What a year!Tess (1979)Just saw this for the first time. One of Polanskiās best. Feel like he was inspired by Barry Lyndon.Year of the Jellyfish (1984)A French friend recommended this one. I think itās kind of cherished by some as a trashy cult classic. But if youāre looking for a film full of gorgeous, topless French women on vacation in San Tropez in the 1980s, this is for you!The West (miniseries) (1996)I rewatch Ken Burns documentaries all the time. Jazz, Country Music, Baseball, Lewis & Clark, all of them. Iāve seen each one multiple times. The West is remarkable. A comprehensive deep dive into 19th century American history. 20-hours replete with unmistakable, soothing Burns-esque narration and somber songs of the old American frontier. Fascinating, harsh and profoundly sad.

I absolutely love the community on this subreddit. I have mixed feelings about Reddit in general - but I do like the subreddits where most of the posts are text posts and this is true for r/yoga.
People will present an unhinged scenario (which is probably an exercise in creative writing and/or narcissism like most things on Reddit) where they are in a yoga class and the person next to them is wearing bells on their belt and they smell awful and are sweating so much there are puddle and doing jumping jacks and not following the instruction and loudly saying mantras. the op will then ask āwhat do I do?? Talk to the studio owner??ā And ALL of the commenters just go āin the spirit of yoga, you have to drown it out and focus on your breath āš»šā or literally post an old proverb. And then the op just agrees and goes on their way.
Itās reminds me of old forum posting and I love the energy.

I love chopping fruit up and making the ultimate snack: fruit salad. It makes me feel like a sim in Sims 4 and my cooking skill is increasing.
