I can't recall if I liked any of them because he was in it.

I'm in the minority for enjoying Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019).

First rule is, 'The laws of Germany'
Second rule is, 'Be nice to mommy'
Third rule is, 'Don't talk to commies'
Fourth rule is, 'Eat kosher salamis'

Really? I thought it was fairly popular. I liked it (not as well as those other titles, or INCEPTION).

Most of my friends and family found it long-winded and boring. I thought that every performance in it was great and that the biggest star of the movie was 1969, which I believe was Quentin Tarantino's true intention for the movie. It's like what Scott Walker did with The Frozen Ground (2013) which was filmed almost entirely on location in Anchorage, Alaska; the true star of that movie was the city itself.

I'm still trying to figure out if downtown anchorage circa 1983 was ever really that croweded....but it was cool to see

No, they greatly exaggerated those parts of the movie in order to make Anchorage look like some sprawling metropolis full of lecherous scum, when in reality our fair city is just a tiny town full of lecherous scum. Don't forget to lock your car doors.

The Butcher Baker didn't have the guts to troll the Spenard hookers by the look of it. I don't blame him either. Spenard was rough in the 1970s.

How I wish I could have seen Spenard in the 1970s!
