PTA's Hard Eight
Love this movie; I really need to own that.
I started watching it the other night at about midnight. I had work the next day, and had forgotten it's just over 3 hours long.
I'm not sure how the movie as a whole holds up (I really enjoyed it when I saw it in the theater, but it had a LOT of problems), but every time I've flipped on to it on cable (always at different points in the movie), I'm just mesmerized for a scene or two, and then tell myself I really need to see the whole thing again and move on to something else.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Magnolia cemented my bone-deep love of William H. Macy. I've never before or since seen a performance so utterly simultaneously watch-from-the-hall and heartbreaking. I mean, I already loved him because I'm not insane or stupid, but that performance just killed me nine ways from Sunday.
Also, because it turns out that I have been living under a rock for years and years, I had never seen either John C. Reilly or Phillip Seymour Hoffman before, and there's not a moment in either man's performance in Magnolia that I don't just hopelessly love.

His performance in Boogie Nights was stunning as well.

And Henry Gibson (as Thurston Howell!) adding to both by just destroying him from the sidelines with his catty snark.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Fox have provided a press release for Drive. It seems to be a direct lift off the Fox page except this time Tim's actually been credited as a co-creator.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I say this all the time, but I'm so proud of my Tim cutieheadwriterboy.

Magnolia: I loved the directing and the performances, but I found I could not care a whit what happened to the characters.
