December 12Dec 12 (Didn't see a thread, so apologies if one does already exist.) Watched it last night on Netflix and enjoyed it. It's a subtle movie that assumes you have some knowledge of cinema given the number of inside jokes and references (I'm sure I didn't catch all of them). Linklater also weaves some self-deprecating bits in there--you can almost see that this is about Slacker as much as Breathless. Gorgeous sets/scenery, a killer jazz soundtrack, and great acting. It's amazing how much the actors look like the real people they are playing. Well worth a watch.

Definitely geared towards film nerds, but I would like to be one, so I’ll give it a whirl.
December 13Dec 13 Loved it, and yet somehow his second best movie of the year. Blue Moon is tremendous (although also geared towards the ball knowers). Guy who played Godard nailed it
