George Axelrod, at the very least, hated it, and I don’t think he was the only one.

I’m sure they will. It’s part of the history. It might even get more screen time than the character does in the original film.

I have questions, but they probably could only be answered if I actually saw this film.

A romantic comedy about a girl who isn’t sure if she should fall for the guy who has a PATRIOT GAMES poster on his wall.

Watching it tonight I’m noticing some dead spaces where they clearly knew laughs would be. And they were right, I remember the film killing with the audience when I saw it.

Please take a moment to remember Dan Hedaya’s performance as Nixon in DICK.

The Warren Beatty LOVE AFFAIR was just on one of the local PBS stations, beats me why, now I'm fixating on how one scene features Beatty, Garry Shandling and Harold Ramis which I guess was just a normal thing at the time.

Oh I have a fondness for it too, the feel of the production, the Barry score, the Nassau locations, all that stuff. And that poster is beautiful. It’s just the enormity of the thing feels too much. If they had cut together a version twenty minutes shorter it would still feel too much.

I prefer the middle section which has a nice 'Bond on vacation' feel. The last hour or so goes on forever.

Steven Soderbergh sat down to discuss his favorite films—from DO THE RIGHT THING to FARGO and LOST IN TRANSLATION—for @letterboxd.social and shared his theory we reached peak cinema at the end of New Hollywood, as well as his stance that Spike Lee should've won the Palme d'Or that year at Cannes.

At one point in the ‘80s I mainly associated Tom Noonan with his similar ‘secondary government flunky who gets comically dealt with’ roles in THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE and F/X.
