Just wait til you daughter is older. We played that DVD to shreds with our kids. It was good times.

I’ve got it on DVD. We watched the Paramount show earlier this year. She was sitting with her ukelele (she asked santa for a guitar) strumming along to Gabby’s Dollhouse yesterday afternoon. She makes everything into a drum. She digs music, which makes me happy.

Nothing against the soundtrack, it’s fine, but the unearned love my generation pays this utterly mediocre movie still boggles my mind. I will never understand how this film became a 90s cult touchstone. Everything about it feels generic. It’s a movie extensively about a record store written by people that who rarely went to record stores or even really enjoyed music. This is a weird situation where I don’t hate the move, it’s almost painfully MOR in every sense but I hate that this particular movie gets thought of along the same lines as Clerks or Dazed & Confused or Clueless as the quintessential 90s movie. It’s not even the best 90s movie set in a record store, High Fidelity is infinitely better.

I always liked this movie simply because Ethan Embry wears a Chainsaw Kittens shirt. They're one of our Oklahoma legends.

Also we named our oldest son Embry lol

I remember in college when I saw “the conversation” in a film class — and then a few years later saw Enem in the theater…and wondering what the heck that pitch was like to make a sort of sequel with no real connection between other than the gene hackman’s character and the encroachment of surveillance, etc

I still really enjoyed the movie — but also would have led loved to see whatever the writier’s first draft was before Will Smith got attached. (The Conversation is an awesome movie for anyone that hasn’t already seen it)

Also, I never really loved Raising Arizona. I got it, could see that it was good, but never loved it. Dazed and Confused, 100%, Empire, meh.

(Not that anyone needed this detail)

Also, thrilled to get a copy of that Sundays record, though my goodness, my wife is going to give me some serious side eye when those SoV orders finally ship. And the pre orders from Paladin, and the 3 from the No Format renewal… yikes. 😳
 
Normally not my the of comp but this has a pretty great tracklist

The Conversation is in masterpiece territory. I’d seen it, but they made new 35mm prints a year or two ago and it was shown at a local theater. The scenes above Union Square were particularly good to see on big screen.

Also, if you don’t already know backstory of Francis Ford Coppola’s struggles to get it produced and how the obstacles fell away after Godfather, worth watching interviews or reading about.

I love Enemy of the State. If it’s on TV, I watch it. But I never put together that this could be considered a continuation of The Conversation. That makes me like it even more.

Adding The Conversation to the list. Don't think I saw it back in the day but enjoyed Enemy of the State.

Loving all the movie talk around different pages these days. Popped out to see A Complete Unknown yesterday and it was the first movie in a theater in a really long time, and I found myself with the need to get out and off the couch more for some movies. I think I'm going to join the local rep movie house, they've got a ton of great things coming up.

And watched Empire a couple nights ago, and yeah that's pretty meh. Enjoyable enough but not great.
