It doesn't really strive for the heart imo. It's more an exaggerated take on the "nobody gets into a very sticky situation" trope Hitch often used but actually put forward as the major theme. The film centers around the emancipation of getting control over one's own destiny. There are several estabslishing shots that are way too far from the action which imply a grander almost metaphysical context to the story. The moment Grant's character gains that control is imo especially rewarding.

Aside from that it's just one great action scene after the other putting Grant's character deeper into the rabbit hole but still keeping it very humorous.

Vertigo on the other hand imo loses a bit due to the abrupt ending, which is played as a shock and not a tragedy.

However, both flip-flop with each rewatch when it comes to my Hitch favs.

Story checks out

are yall gonna watch this Sopranos prequel? might just for Gandolfini's son hopefully it's not terrible

Yeah I'm gunna go see it next week I think

Yeah of course. I'll wait for it to hit HBOMax though.

anyone remember that morning that dude spammed every thread with a pic of daphne getting f***ed by scooby doo ?

Gandolfini's son vs Philip Seymour Hoffman's gonna be interesting. Very likely Paul will coax a better performance out of Phil's kid.

Really really beautiful, everybody listen

No but I see that it awoke something in you

didn't know PSH's son was in it too

successful plug's on back to back nights

Yea but tbh my expectations aren't too high, looks p generic. I see that Joey Diaz is in it, his accent should sound amazing for this flick

Did I really just google "daphne getting f***ed by scooby doo"

kinda reminds me of Limewire when you were looking for a song but cartoon p*** would always show up instead

Or that f***ing audio clip "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

elon and grimes no more

Going thru Ariel Pink’s top tier songs atm
