Somewhere between Twin Peaks and Home Alone.

Colin and I both took notes but hardly referred to them, aside from some major questions we had top of the mind, so I wanted to share the raw notes below for a window into our fractured psyches.

Psyches littered with stray characters from classics such as Twin Peaks and Home Alone.

Colin’s:

* Mark Wahlberg has definitely seen this movie

* Dude is wearing full leather for a B Ball game

* Cuba looks like he is late to teach some chess matches in the park

* The amount of effort that goes into bullying is staggering

* This is a hell of a school morning

* Is his name “Shortcut Trouble?” Does he have 2 pseudonyms?

* Jackets

* Cell phone

* I like to think the Dad called Sharkey, just dialed a random number

* Mares Eat Oats!!!

* Dennehy knocking Cubes out the ring!?

* How did Loggia get out of this unscathed?

We were very much aligned on things that stuck out to us. Personally, I found in this movie an urtext of my personal style, especially as a youth.

Phil’s:

* Loggia says the Mares Eat Oats thing that Leland Palmer sings in fuckin Twin Peaks also starring of course James Marshall.

* Weird fuckin racial implications in this movie.

* The music jacked me up as a kid.

* Why is John Heard written out of this movie?

* Ossie Davis, man.

* Same cinematographer (Tak Fujimoto) as Silence of the Lambs. Looks amazing.

* Tommy Riley? Tommy Boy?

* I think I learned about teen pregnancy and aneurysms from this movie.

* That montage was deeply jarring. I needed it but was so unprepared.

* Truly unhinged needle drops in this shit.

* Loggia seems to care about Tommy but in the wrong way. Why is he rubbing his shoulders so much?

* Where the fuck is this building that Cara Buono can just find it?

* This movie definitely solved racism. (this movie definitely did not)

Remember - the top of the head is the hardest part of the human body. Everyone owes somebody. And if you want to be able to drop everything when you feel the heat around the corner, make sure to have a mobile phone briefcase and do all your business out of a diner.
