dog day afternoon (1975)

I love 70s movies because they’re gritty and showy at the same time, and they look great, and they don’t try too hard, they know they’re movies, but al pacino tries too hard here and for some reason it works great, this is a classic, but also it’s boring if you’re looking for action; it’s really a character study, and also it has funny ideas about sexuality that are ahead or maybe behind the times i’m not sure, and also travolta’s character mentions this movie in Swordfish and that’s all I have to say about that.

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
