Great movie project, Eric.
Thanks, Michael. Also, thanks for the Twitter shoutout!
Well done on completing another movie project! My favorites of these are the three colors films, and Leaving Las Vegas.
ha, Salo was the worst, I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard that most hate it.
Thanks! Yeah, no need to see Salo. What an awful film.
Congrats on completing this massive project, Eric! Looking forward to your last half of the list. Well done on reviewing all of them too, that’s quite a feat!
Thanks, Ruth! It got a little intense near the end, but overall it was another successful project.
