+The Net (1995)
+----------------
+
+Subway
+-----------
+
+Fun, aesthetic, but didn't feel like there was much there there. Sort of
+reminded me of Buckaroo Banzai.
+
+
+Pain and Glory (Almadovar)
+-------------------------------------
+
+This was great! Hard to put a finger on why exactly I liked it so much though.
+Obviously much less tranditionally masculine than 8 1/2.
+
+
+Bullitt
+--------------
+
+This has been on my list since J screened "Green Fog" for me at the archive,
+for the San Francisco setting. McQueen is swaggery, though I expected even
+more aggression from the reputation the film has. The chase scene is wild and
+great. The cafe and SF culture establishing shots were unexpected.
+
+To be honest had to check some of the plot points online after... screen we
+watched on didn't have good audio.
+
+I watched "Towering Inferno" before this, partially for the same "Green Fog"
+motivation, and partially because it features the Embarcadero Hyatt atrium.
+Also features McQueen and a couple other scenes were similar (everybody in
+Pacific Heights is rich and horrible), but Bullitt is much better.
+
+Those blue McQueen eyes!
+
+
+Pain and Glory
+-----------------
+
+Good.
+
+
+How to Get Ahead in Advertising
+---------------------------------
+
+I didn't like this as much as I expected I would? Manic, ranty, nice Cronberg-y
+bits.
+
+The Lighthouse
+------------------
+
+Weird, intense. Good? Acting was great. Dialog was hard to understand at times.
+
+
+Bombshell
+-------------
+
+This was good. A juicy, buzzy story.
