This is fantastic. Made me want to rewatch the flick. I remember watching as a kid and being disappointed that no gangsters were swearing and killing each other. But I've matured. Perhaps I can appreciate it now.
This was the strangest curveball Scorsese ever threw. Personally I think all of his gangster films were comedies, but I think this and the king of comedy were his most bizarre and fun

Fantastic post, Shaman! I love this film. (It's weird how much seeing the typeface on the bottle of Seconal is nostalgic for me, too.)
That detail has a strange kind of residue to it. Tiny, specific, and somehow heavier than it should be.
“…Paul is no longer trying to correct the story. He is trying to outrun a version of himself that got there first.”
That’s just perfect.
Very much so.
After Hours is chaos pretending it’s accidental.
Brazil’s the opposite…and that’s worse.
That sounds dangerous. Five movies is how people lose weekends and come back different. :)
