He was growing into middle age, and was living then in a bungalow on Woodland Avenue. He installed himself in a rocking chair and smoked a cigar down in the evenings as his wife wiped her pink hands on an apron and reported happily on their two children. His children knew his legs, the sting of his mustache against their cheeks. They didn't know how their father made his living, or why they so often moved. They didn't even know their father's name. He was listed in the city directory as Thomas Howard. And he went everywhere unrecognized and lunched with Kansas City shopkeepers and merchants, calling himself a cattleman or a commodities investor, someone rich and leisured who had the common touch. He had two incompletely healed bullet holes in his chest and another in his thigh. He was missing the nub of his left middle finger and was cautious, lest that mutilation be seen. He also had a condition that was referred to as "granulated eyelids" and it caused him to blink more than usual as if he found creation slightly more than he could accept. Rooms seemed hotter when he was in them. Rains fell straighter. Clocks slowed. Sounds were amplified. He considered himself a Southern loyalist and guerrilla in a Civil War that never ended. He regretted neither his robberies, nor the seventeen murders that he laid claim to. He had seen another summer under in Kansas City, Missouri and on September 5 in the year 1881, he was thirty-four-years-old.
What a film, why was 2007 such an outstanding year for film?
I agree 100% it's amazing just how good it is from the performances to soundtrack to cinematography to the script

Made it about 20 minutes in and got bored. You can see Brad Pitt with his shirt off in Snatch, you faggots, which is a better movie anyway.
Christopher Myers
cringe bait
Evan Rodriguez
>this movie was kino >Killing Them Softly was kino >both films combined probably made about $5 >Andrew Dominik was reduced to directing Mindhunter episodes for tv because plebs have shit taste
This dialogue was Robert idolizing him. We're shown how weak and sick he'd gotten in reality by the end.
Angel Ramirez
Andrew Dominik has a new one coming out called Blonde, a Marilyn Monroe biopic starting Ana de Armas. Also his Nick Cave documentary is flawless.

Most boring flick Ive seen. Drags on for too long and barely anything interesting happens. Nobody actually likes this film they just say they do so theyre an EBIN PATRICIAN. Same thing with There Will Be Blood.

>So it went. Bob was increasingly cynical, leery, uneasy; Jesse was increasingly cavalier, merry, moody, fey, unpredictable. If his gross anatomy suggested a strong smith in his twenties, his actual physical constitution was that of a man who was incrementally dying. He was sick with rheums and aches and lung congestions, he tilted against chairs and counters and walls, in cold weather he limped with a cane. He coughed incessantly when lying down, his clever mind was often in conflict, insomnia stained his eye sockets like soot, he seemed in a state of mourning. He counteracted the smell of neglected teeth with licorice and candies, he browned his graying hair with dye, he camouflaged his depressions and derangements with masquerades of extreme cordiality, courtesy, and good will toward others.

There has never been a more butthurt title for a movie in the history of the world than this one.
Josiah Brown
I'll have to rewatch this soon. Forgot how much I enjoyed it.

One of the greatest films of all time True patrician Core
I was living in Winnipeg at the time this was filmed. Angelina Jolie came into a store my girlfriend's sister was working at. Angelina was a giant cunt who basically spent 10 minutes shitting on the staff before leaving with some stuff the owner didn't even make her pay for.
Pretty based overall. Shame about her fucking her dad though.
John Thompson
Brad Pitt's best Performance. Him as Tyler Durden is great but he'll never top his performance in The Assassination of Jesse by the Coward Robert Ford
