Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a crazy movie. It takes noir and turns everything up to 11, to the point of satirizing the genre. Nic Cage gives an unreal performance that reminds me of Wild at Heart—the same over-the-top intensity that could have been awful if handled by someone less skilled then Werner Herzog. Instead, it’s mesmerizing.

nothing can prepare you for how absolutely bonkers this performance is. A movie named after another movie with absolutely no relationship to the original (just the name and the character.) Nic Cage is fully off the reservation in this one, and that says alot.

Nic cage acting like a broken John travolta. John travolta pretending to be Nic cage at his most batshit. A huge budget for John Woo to blow up all kinds of shit, pre-cgi. A script that defies logic. A sci-fi prison called Erewhon with mag boots. 1997 was a good year for movies.

Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
