Off topic, what’s a handful of your favorite movies? I didn’t know until recently that you went to film school!

Gonna rapid fire off the top of my head all movies that come to mind:

Fight Club

Stardust

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Shawshank Redemption

Dark Knight

Matrix

Princess Mononoke

Aliens

Klaus

Good Will Hunting

Heat

Die Hard

Snatch

Pan’s Labyrinth

Rope

V for Vendetta

Groundhog Day

Love Song for Bobby Long

Lord of the Rings

Top Gun: Maverick

Children of Men

Whiplash

Sanjuro

The Princess Bride

Gravity

Arrival

Cashback

Annihilation

The Last Samourai

Vanilla Sky

Perfume: Story of a Murderer

Sunshine

I can’t get anymore off the top of my head but I’m undoubtedly missing a number of great ones because I didn’t think of Sunshine til the last moment and it’s one of my favorites. Big Danny Boyle fan.

Interstellar

I can't add that one only because I read the script like 5 years before it was released (wasn't even greenlit), and absolutely fell IN LOVE with it. It was SO good... but then i went to the theater just excited out of my mind, and they completely gutted basically the most profound moments and theme of the story and I was dumbfounded. I hated that movie the first time i watched it because I kept trying to figure out how it was going to end the way it had in the script...

That said, since my passionate aggression to the film diverting from the story i loved has subsided, the movie is much better than i gave it credit for. It will likely always be a tainted film experience for me because of that reason though. i kinda wish i had the opportunity to watch it "unburdened by what has been" 🤣

Try writing your top 50 movie list sometime. I’ve done it - it’s a fun and challenging exercise.

Coherence (2013)

Match Point (2005)

Thoroughbreds (2018)

The Killer (2024)

Underworld (2003)

Pretty much every movie on my favorites list is panned as "forgettable" or "uninspired."

I know the last thing you need is more shit to do, but having your friends on the show once a month to talk old school films may give your brain a break.

Congrats on the second baby BTW
