I'm finally on Letterboxd! Been putting it off for ages & ages because of how many films I've watched & want to log/rank/review (literally hundreds). That's what I'm doing now so it's gonna be a while before it shows everything. Logging a few lists too.

Stacey was a professional member of the company at Yale when I was there in drama school. We were in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. I was a soldier I made a mistake. I hit him on the head with my sword. I ran off stage. I hid behind scenery. He came running off stage in a rage. Thank goodness he didn’t find me. May you rest in peace Stacey you were amazing.
Walter Hill's directorial debut HARD TIMES (1975) was originally titled THE STREETFIGHTER. During filming in New Orleans, the Japanese martial-arts film THE STREET FIGHTER opened locally. Producer Lawrence Gordon pushed for a new title and HARD TIMES stuck.

@FilmsRadiance I'm trying to do your survey, but the formatting on these questions is really unclear. I'm assuming this is supposed to mean 10%, 20%, 30% etc. but that's not what the question says.
CASINO (1995): We run a tight operation. If you even think of cheating, we take you out back & break your fingers. Don't fuck with us.
HARD EIGHT (1996): The casino has an infinite money glitch. Just get some chips & cash them in. What the hell, we'll even throw in a free room.
The Irishman (2019)
Robert DeNiro voiceover: Back then, if you wanted to kill a guy, you'd stab him or shoot him with a gun. But one thing you did not want to do, was let the police find out about it.
Doo-wop song in the background: I'll be your baby, baby/if you'll be my doll
@portraitinflesh Funny in places but full of dubious stereotypes, and it got tired very quickly (at the same time it got really popular). I don't look back on it fondly.
@TheStingisBack OK, but the early/mid 70s was a defining era in cinema history that produced many classics. I would rather he'd named a more diverse group of films, but I really don't think this is all about childhood nostalgia.
Things to say when someone sneezes:
- I don't respect you.
- God can't help you.
- Take that shit outside.
- This is why you're alone.
- Now I need a shot.
- This used to be a nice neighborhood.
FDR was very explicit when creating the minimum wage that it should be a livable wage.
This idea that minimum wage jobs are starter jobs is corporate propaganda used to defend paying people substandard wages.
