What is home in 2026
“I got a free upgrade to first class, but the aircraft seats were so angled towards the windows that I could not make eye contact with those who were making their way to the coach. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable and auspicious start to my life as a homeless person...
"Every five years, we become zombies. And we need to do something extraordinary. Not wise, but extraordinary. Some people have children. Some just leave home.”

the locations in this movie are ones you wish you were in. theres something very attractive about all that swampy land in southern america.

White Lightning (1975) was awesome. the kind of backwoods redneck country action movie that i like. why arent there more of these?

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@buffaloduke_ Otto parts!

@hitch_josh Never read a single Bond novel. But I've read Thrilling Cities by Fleming about his travels across Europe. Your brief review has piqued my interest, Josh.

@americakaran Frankly, he is a boring gasbag.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@BeeBalthazar Interesting point of view.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@d4doome The book by Burnett is also awesome.

@cterlson Craig, why was it discontinued as a treatment for alcoholism?

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

Infinity Pool was shocking and erotic though it meanders a bit towards the end. Mia Goth is a fucking superstar.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

Scorsese could have aligned with Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, John Travolta, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts or Michael Madsen. Why did he align with De Crappio? It makes no sense man. The post Casino Scorsese films are unwatchable man.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

Wtf is The Aviator (2004) man? I tried to watch ten minutes of it. It was so bad.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

Duel in the Sun (1946) - has some of the most beautiful shots of grand vistas ever in a Western. The film is a bit melodramatic and repetitive. But Peck was awesome in a rare negative role.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@foreignhorrors Your recommendations are so awesome man. I havent even heard of 90% of the movies you post about.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

Bugsy (1991) is a damn good film with a fabulous score by Morricone, luxurious sets and a sensational Annette Benning. Warren Beatty didn't really work as Bugsy though.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@rharvey81970 The film lost me after around 80 minutes. But it was damn good until then. Great sets and locales. Nice dialog too.

[DixHandley @Chaanjunni]

@Jebat117 Yeah the passengers should have made them land at the next airport and let them escape. You're a genius.
