I scrolled down, is that the whole review?

I remember "After Hours" playing over and over again on HBO in the mid 1980s. Had to watch it each time. It seemed to be the only thing that closely resembled the craziness in my life.

It’s funny how the technological differences seem so much more apparent in everyday settings like NYC. I don’t think anyone watches Master & Commander and thinks “Lol none of this would be necessary if the boat just had a motor”

I’ll watch Ms. Arquette in anything, even for an Yglesian intellectual exercise.

Of all the films that are *not* specifically about a specific historical event, this film has the most vivid sense of place and historical time of any film I've ever seen. It's truly magic.

I remember the groans of empathy from the audience during the subway price change scene.
