I was watching Back to the Future Part II yesterday, and found that I knew the movie verbatim, only because I watched that whole trilogy interminably as a kid. BTTF and Clue, I could recite by myself, with sound effects. I had this weird ability to take all the sounds at face value so I've memorized each beat of those films.

die hard. took up 3 years entirely of movie experience and knowledge extends to every cut, line and facial moment slurred through that problematic, but great film. Its even funner to watch now considering its lack of challenge in the action department.

I can usually play out A Clockwork Orange, Bringing Out The Dead, and Natural Born Killers in my head without missing any parts.

Ghostbusters. Reservoir Dogs. Casino.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Magnolia
Fight Club
Office Space
The Matrix

Those are a few I've seen at least 10x each. I've probably seen Magnolia over 20 times. The Matrix over 30 at least.

I literally know every scene and every piece of dialouge in "Hard Eight". I wasn't trying to memorize any of it, but I've seen it so many times that it just happened that way.

I did the same thing with "Taxi Driver". I've seen it probably at least 15 times.

All of these to nearly infinite repeat viewings.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high - water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Hunter S. Thompson.
