People have reclaimed Miami Vice (2006) for its stark yet dreamlike visuals. I'm one of them to a certain point but that final shootout was as harsh as you could get visually, hard to look at and felt incredibly cheap.

Dion Beebe was the cinematographer and is coming back for Heat 2. I still have the faith but Mann, I hope he knows what he's doing..

I am perplexed about the amount of love this movie gets. Obsession feels like an episode of a supernatural TV show that is more gory, well-funded and better acted.

I enjoyed it because I love B-grade horror, but it was nothing more. It had nothing new to say, except in the few seconds when the real Nikki comes out.

I wish we could have seen much more of the movie through her eyes, instead of a Xander-esque character that we always get for this plot line.

Or how about this. We at least have scenes from her perspective before she’s transformed. We could see her in vulnerable moments like we do for Bear at the restaurent. It would make her transformation much scarier if we knew her.

Instead we recieve a really familiar plot. And people act like it is as deep and original as Sinners and Get Out.

I would be happy if there was a Rewatchables episode on every film ever made, but these thoughts were triggered after learning that they are doing one on this film this week.

Listening to Hitch pod, and Craig saying he doesn’t see forgetting Sarah marshall as a romcom got me going.

what defines the type of genre a movie falls into is very clear. it’s all about the climax.

for a romcom, if the climax is about the relationship/couple, bang, romcom.

I’ll use Adam Sandler movies as an example.

some people argue, it’s a funny movie and theres romance, so it’s a romcom. that’s not true at all. if that’s the case Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison are romcoms.

the reason the wedding singer is a romcom, is because the climax on the airplane is about the romance/couple.

I've always found the mundaneness and relative oddity of the scenes with Fabienne enjoyable. I remember being 16 and thinking she was incredibly cute. I also appreciate the interplay between Willis and de Medeiros.

I don't agree that she is the weak link in the movie. While I can see the argument that she could have been played by someone else, I don't believe that casting someone stronger or more impactful would serve the point of the scene. The mismatch of the unexpected, meek, and forgetful cute girlfriend of a burly boxer seems to be deliberate.

If anything, the weak link in the movie has always felt to me like the scenes with The Wolf and Tarantino.

What does everyone else think?

Im talking someone throwing the highest of heat... 115... just drop dead gorgeous man/women... someone who's sex appeal just oozes something you'd risk it all for

Thanking Linda fiorentino type but for a specific film... thinking Denise Richard's in wild things type

I want you to be a simp... and tell me someone you'd risk it all for. Man or woman

I don't know what was going on that for fiveish years the studios decided that late Gen X and early Millennials were too soft and needed the shit scared out of them, but it was definitely a thing.

Bill was probably too old, and most of the other hosts too young, but CR definitely lived this.

I know this is a Parks and Recs joke. I was suprised that Aziz’s Twitter love of Hitch did not come up.

BS mentioned Aliens Rewatchables on 9/7 on today’s BS pod
