3 things about Peter Bogdonovich’s SANT JACK [1979]

1. Marriage ruins your sense of humor.
2. Singapore Slings at the Raffles Hotel.
3. “Ah, keep it down, can’t you Froggie?”
“Keep it down? I’ve been trying all night to keep it up!”

Bonus: I will never think of “Goldfinger” in the same way ever again.

Read my ★★★★★ review of John Cassavetes' 1976 "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie," in which I once again approach the work of this social-realist pioneer but, instead of all my other attempts, this time find something brilliant and mesmerizing. Wow, this movie! https://boxd.it/41tZsJ

@filobus Quella originale cmq è inarrivabile, ovviamente, anche solo per motivi affettivi. A rivederla oggi, direi pure molto "coatta", ma erano pure gli #anni80'... Quello non mi pare #BenGazzara, però ti posso dire, riguardo ai #memorabilia, che all'inzio il tape che mandano in play era un #DAT: un supporto digitale per audio su nastro che però campionava a 48kHz@16bit invece dei classici 44.1 kHz del CD, molti master all'epoca si finalizzavano su questo supporto (io lo avevo e usavo molto 😃 )
