OJ? <br /><br />I do especially like your American Honey write-up, though. I started skeptical ab the Fight Club energy, maybe too, but the wild yearning in the exurban badlands-- it's like the opioid crisis and deaths of despair are in the air-- sucked me in. <br /><br />And special shout out for I am Not Your Negro for its vivid portraiture. I get Baldwin now in a way I didn't before. What a force. jct2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06532301911442895045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32685968.post-24756780043335825002020-10-09T11:14:24.214-07:002020-10-09T11:14:24.214-07:00I have to check out that Johnnie To movie, thanks!...I have to check out that Johnnie To movie, thanks!

I love that he is relevant in movies like this, and that he is 52 years old and still matters.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I loved this movie. Only 4th on my 2016 list, which is hardly a condemnation.
