Viewing Notes

Haven’t seen this on the big screen until now. Great to see a nice 35mm print for this and get a fun intro by Alex Cox. This is way more funny than I remembered. It’s a weird movie for me bc we loved it as a teen and watched it a lot. As an adult it hits differently. Enjoyed it more viewing with an audience (nice to see a decent turnout for it but I wished Jason had asked his usual question for rep screenings, “how many of you *haven’t* seen this movie?”).

Hadn’t thought about getting the Criterion BD but during this screening, I decided it would be a good one to own. Just for Harry Dean Stanton alone. He’s so f’n good.
