I'm sorry it's taken me a few weeks to respond. <br /><br />But first off, thank you so much for watching the movie again, and for your nice words. You are the first person to make a Heat connection to Wait, and that blows my mind. Donald in Heat was an exact reference I gave to Andrew for Wait. I always loved that you had no idea why Haysbert was in this, <i>until</i> De Niro spots him. That payoff is so big for me, and Wait was my take on that. You genuinely blew my mind by making that connection. Jesus.<br /><br />And feel free to email me about your shoot, I'd love to hear about it!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-33473721947434854482020-10-28T16:37:41.397-04:002020-10-28T16:37:41.397-04:00Man, your comments are so damn nice!

I really need to see Upstream Color again- am in pre production (+ writing/directing/editing/DoPing/ect) for my own first feature and have been reading your posts regarding your own productions very carefully. <br /><br />Re-watched Wait again recently- still fascinating. Without spoiling anything I love the way you followed the character responsible for the big tragedy- really reminded me of how Michael Mann suddenly shifts gears to Donald in Heat.Mark Woollonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072777957640381767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-74729068161314152612020-10-03T18:03:15.007-04:002020-10-03T18:03:15.007-04:00What an epic list, and what should comprise the ne...What an epic list, and what should comprise the next seven and a half films I watch (I will never admit to a film on here I didn't finish [the shame!]). Even with my personally scant online presence, I'm never short of absolutely stoked when I come here and check out something you've posted. More than wildly informative, your passion AW, just f--king flies off the page...but like in a totally chill way (if that makes sense).<br /><br />Good stuff, man.

Every film on that list is still incredible and always worth re-watching. I'm not going to do my list of the best films of the 2010s until 2022 as I want to get it right as there's so much that I haven't seen and films I'm sure we all haven't seen. <br /><br />I haven't had a lot of time to do anything these days as I blame the pandemic for just stifling me creatively and actively. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-68088060580707947842020-09-28T18:07:17.674-04:002020-09-28T18:07:17.674-04:00I LOVE The Wolf of Wall Street, Blue Valentine and...I LOVE The Wolf of Wall Street, Blue Valentine and Shame. Waves and Rust and Bone are also great as well. I re-watched that quaaludes scene from TWOWS again the other day and it still makes me laugh my ass off every time.
