The fall is so fucking good. Well iirc because it's been nearly 20 Yeats since I saw it

On a wild hair I checked archive.com

20 Yeats

0.o that's a lot of irish drama.

joking aside, I need to rewatch this because I recall it being gorgeous. it and The Cell are both wedged in my 'even if it's not a great film, it's a feast for the eyes' category.

It's literally my favorite movie!

Do you know that scene where they blew up a cliff? Well to get that shot, they blew up a cliff. Zero special effects!

Dogma is on YouTube.

A couple of years ago I saw Sleuth, on one of those unofficial Roku apps that don't work anymore, it had commercial breaks with no commercials in them, the screen went black for a second or two before resuming.
Same with Dogma.

Making Love! My oldest brother, a friend of his and I - just barely a teenager then - saw it in the theater! My brother picked that film when at the ticket booth because it had the nearest screening hour, and ironically (considering the film's subject matter), because of Kate Jackson, whom he called "the underrated Charlie's Angel".
