Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

They remade this film with John Travolta replacing Robert Shaw?  Fuuuuck.  Owen Roizman, where are you?

Tony Scott used to make really fun mindless action flicks. He hasn't made one in awhile. Everything he does now is just stupid.

I'd like to see a well written essay contrasting the differences between 'mindless' and 'stupid' cinema.

I can think of a wide range of different kinds of assholes who love them all, though not always for the right reasons.

The reasons they love those films or the reasons they're assholes, OR perhaps they are one and the same...!
