#006 - matchstick men (2003)

hello and welcome to my weblog. tonight i watched matchstick men (2003).

the fourth character in this movie is the empty swimming pool

is the frank sinatra and the herb alpert in this movie diegetic? maybe, sometimes?

the fourth character in this movie is the cans of tuna

after several nicholas cage movies that i would not call “good”, it’s good to watch one that is.

the fourth character in this movie is the vast emptiness of los angeles

it’s fun to pretend that sam rockwell is in a ska band. it’s fun to pretend that rian johnson saw this and asked himself “okay but what if it was a wes anderson movie?” it’s fun to imagine having a giant sign that says REMNANTS hanging over my desk at work

the fourth character in this movie is nicholas cage’s incredible loneliness

thank you to my friends bcj and stephen who watched along with me and chatted about it in discord
