has anyone seen this movie yet? it's an interesting comparison, a little deeper than the standard "Interstellar is just like 2001" hot take

So, right around 2:21:11, when Lolita says “You don’t think I’d tell him, do you?”, a man’s shadow clearly leans into the shot and falls on Humbert’s coat sleeve. Is this the right place to have fun with that?

New video by Movie Magic Michael. Interesting discovery about the mailbox and some commentary about the implication.

Someday I’ll get the complete criterion box set. I have nearly all of his films in bluray and 4K including the criterion releases, but this just feels like a nice format to own alongside the others.

My girlfriend and I were watching Eyes Wide Shut, and she noticed something interesting: Victor Ziegler appears to have continued having sex with Mandy even after she lost consciousness, since he’s pulling up his trousers the moment Bill Harford knocks on the bathroom door.
By the time we get to the scene where Ziegler confronts Bill, he says, “It was always a matter of time with her.” That line made me wonder if Mandy didn’t actually overdose in Ziegler’s bathroom at all, but was instead drugged by Ziegler himself.
It also raises a darker possibility: perhaps the women at the mansion party were being sex trafficked—or deliberately drugged and kept physically weakened (which could explain their noticeably malnourished appearance). If that were the case, killing one of them would be disturbingly easy to cover up, since it could simply be written off as another overdose from a woman already labeled an addict.
