    Just because...

    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    It's a legitimately terrible movie, gorgeously made.

    I saw it as a kid and hated it. Watched it twice as an adult and each time it interested me a little more. I'm fascinated by the idea of DePalma making an over-indulgent movie about over-indulgent people.

    That, and I don't think Mann's "Miami Vice" (or a huge chunk of Mann's career) would exist without "Scarface."

    I can't even remember the last time I thought about Brian De Palma, to be honest, and it's been probably a decade since I watched any of these. I do still want to catch stuff like Body Double and The Phantom of Paradise, though. I remember really digging him once upon a time, but I guess my De Palma phase was pretty brief and quickly extinguished.
    Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

    Hey that's a very cool insight, thanks.

    What is your favorite De Palma? Least favorite?
    It's very tough to pick a favorite. I think it's Phantom of the Paradise but Blow Out is also amazing and I've seen Carrie more times than I can count.

    Least favorite is The Black Dahlia.

    I like Scarface. It's one of those movies that are a time capsule to a particular period (in this case, the roaring '80s) but I for one think Tony Montana is one of the greatest characters in cinema history.

    He has many underrated movies. Like, Casualties of War is brutal.

    Phantom of the Paradise tidbit (rewatched tonight). In the scene where Swan introduces Beef on the airport tarmac. The Swan studio logo has been painted on the film because it was originally filmed as a swan - had to be changed because of Led Zeppelin...

    I miss him, too. I believe I watched one of his picks a year or two back.

    Also I like Scarface 83. I always got a kick out of "I tell the truth. Even when I lie."

    Phantom of the Paradise is a wonderful horror comedy musical.

    Guys, I don't know if you're aware, but Christopher Titus is releasing on his youtube channel all the episodes of his TV show, one episode per day, which I highly, HIGHLY, recommend.

    One of the best and most underrated sitcoms of the last 20 years, IMO. And very ahead of it's time.

    Playlist here.

    The Untouchables is probably the least De Palma feeling film I have seen from De Palma, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

    The cast and performances are stellar across the board, really embracing the larger than life, almost operatic tone of the thing. Every actor got a chance to chew the scenery.

    Don't really see Connery's performance as Oscar worthy, despite stealing the show with sheer charisma.

    The oft-parodied/referenced stairway shootout is tense and dramatic.

    A good crime thriller. It's not The Godfather, but it's a head and a half above most.
    One of my all time fave crime movies, my fave de Palma (though I've yet to see some others, but they won't stand a chance I would assume), one of the most [
    ], composer Morricone firing on all cilinders. I wouldn't put it below The Godfather.

    I thought Connery deserved the Oscar. He is Malone, and if through sheer charisma alone, then that arguably means he was pitch perfect for the role. I dunno, I often feel that in this movie he finally delivered proof he could be more than merely suave, good-looking and charismatic. He inhabits a character and got down to the nitty gritty of who Malone is.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
