One thing I love about Thief (1981) is its Marxist subtext. Director Michael Mann, himself, deacribed the film as a "left-extensionalist critique of corporate capitalism"

Every physical media collector, deep down, believes their time will come when they can barter their 2nd copy of 22 Jump Street on DVD for some AAA batteries

A ★★★★★ review of There Will Be Blood (2007) I've always been struck by the complete sexlessness of Daniel Plainview. Is his obsession with power and wealth a byproduct of some sexual repression or frustration? It's a PTA film, so yes. The answe...
