Clint Eastwood’s Breezy seems particularly the case

Ah so this is the Holden era that Penn was conjuring

Yea. Self-referential.

Here's the thing idk how to explain it, cuz for half the film I'd agree that it wasn't a romance and it's just a one-sided attraction for the most part excluding the time she was high and seemed jealous over that girl.

But the reason I keep calling it a romance is cuz that ending scene where they run to each other happens right after the incident with Joel Sach's bf where he's like "they're all just little s***s".. I'm kinda confused as to how I'm supposed to interpret that. Like is she admitting she loves him even though she knows it's flawed??

Like I said to twitch, part of me wonders if the ending is meant to
symbolize that Alana and Gary have this “arrested development” thing going on where they both are trying to escape the need to grow up and that the relationship won’t last or something. Gary calling her his wife and her just looking at him like he’s stupid makes me consider that.

I was slightly distracted my the heavy look of agreement my gf shot me when he said men are all s***s and by that point it felt like years had gone by with them drifting in and out of each other's orbits and in my head Gary was like 18 by that point so I wasn't even really thinking about the age thing anymore

Need a sober rewatch for me to even try and pretend to nutshell what the ending symbolized

Ngl even taking out the Weinstein context, Hollywood in the 60s was on some wild h**** s*** regardless lmao

That's the era of dudes like Russ Meyer & the Playboy Mansion and s***

what an american statement that last part

"felt real" I can't believe the same man that made that statement got his whole panties in a twist about this movie

Weird cause you literally can't even talk about rock and roll artists from back in the day anymore without some white knight being like "PEDOPHILE" (just look at the Neil Young versus Joe Rogan thread, and Neil who's never had one accusation)
and yet twitch buys this greasy hollywood wife killer as a paragon of political correctness in the late sixties from Quentin of all people who even an armchair psychologist can tell has issues for days

Any ideas on who Waits was a reference to? Hawks or Ford or maybe just Sturges

I believe it’s Sam Peckinpah.

another madman

Lmao you know d***s are allowed to be out at nude beaches right?

Lmao sorry for mistakenly saying “friend” instead of “sister”…..but back to the more important topic, that ol girl a Pedo

Lessgooo my boy on that “fuck Licorice Pizza” wave too

Lmao I keep forgetting some of y’all not from out this way. No wonder there’s a disconnect with this underage talk

Feel me bro. S*** was boring and tryna make some Pedo s*** a cute romance. F*** outta here wit this weirdo s*** lol

Ayo @proper we out this b****. Ready to watch Smily the Criminal??

Age of consent in Japan is 13 so this just a regular movie out there

Smily the criminal

It’s too early I got s*** to do prolly won’t be able to watch until after dinner California time. Prolly around 7ish pm or after.

Y’all have been arguing about this for 12 hours

Call me a PTA-shill any day of the week, this was amazing.

I need more of these two together. Yeah, the age gap is wrong as hell & Alana is a leeching social climbing loser, but the chemistry between them was off the charts.

All it needed was a little more Jon Peters. Greatest cokehead of the year

Cooper Hoffman man… hope to see more of him in the future

I'm just in Canada but we don't put the tiddy on a pedestal like that

Don't see what underage has to do with it I know how y'all get down in Kentucky and Mississippi and s*** don't act like all America is up to date with your standards

I made a polite request to agree to disagree but he wasn't having it
