i think i’m pretty happy with it and i guess that’s all that matters. but i’m hoping others will enjoy it too.

the fact that there’s some good stuff in it almost makes it even more infuriating because it was in service of such tone deaf dreck. i’m definitely avoiding ruben’s films from now on. won’t fool me thrice.

ebert was so weird with sex. he acted like a 12 year old horn dog in that sense, but he was often at odds with films that showed sex in an explicit, challenging or thoughtful manner.

i hate watched every week as a kid. they were my first experiences of screaming at the television.

yeah it’s corny… but this movie works. sure, the music does a lot of the heavy lifting… but I revisit it every few years or so and it always hits for me.

there’s plenty of good ones, but the ratio is insane. musical biopics tend to be the absolute worst. for every “topsy turvy” or “yankee doodle dandy” you seem to get three dozen “bohemian rhapsody”s or that putrid judy garland movie.

love it. death to biopics!

are you messing with me?

3/4 of what they portrayed regarding newport is utter bs. Dylan “going electric” is just about the most overblown controversy in the history of rock and roll.

and don’t take my word for it.. it’s all recorded. just listen to the records.
