This movie drags and is kinda dull and theres no music and the dialogue is fine. But the backdrop of a long gone New York City varnishes all of that. Its 2 hours of young Al Pacino living the aesthetic that you might think you want but actually you probably dont want, for you.

Not, this is actually a no from me. It has very interesting visuals but, ultimately, I find it in poor taste. I feel Trainspotting handles the topic of addiction and drug use better. Even more deranged is the friend who showed this to me used to chase it with Wet Hot American Summer. I did not have the courage for that double feature last night.

We're a bisexual nation living in denial, all because of a bunch of nerds. totally ambitious exercise by an auteur. this movie saw all culture of the last twenty years more or less going insane, and ran with it. in all its schlocky needle drops and all. a lot of talk about this movie talks about "prescience" which I dislike much less than the idea that this movie is a scalpel into the heart of American paranoia much like a Philip K Dick novel if he understood Green Day. It's an incredibly difficult film to sit through all the way, partially because it feels at first glance incredibly Bush-era, but I don't think that makes it worse. Utterly relentless, but I think that's the point in what might be maddening. genuinely one of the most futuristic films ever made. You can watch it on Tubi RN!

i love to reminisce and miss things about my past. i think its a good thing. it means my life was exciting. i think it also keeps those memories alive and present. better than forgetting and losing memories to the abyss. it also keeps me accountable. i want myself in 5 years to reminisce on my current life so i cant just lie around and do nothing.

Is This It might be the catchiest indie rock record ever. Every single note is so calculated. Even the breath's and coughs just fit perfectly. They were billed as the "Saviors of Rock and Roll" but they kinda killed it because no one has put out anything on the level of their debut since. Not even them. They also just looked perfect for their sound. A perfectly packaged band delivering a perfect product for young people and people who wish they were still young....even a quarter century later.
