Description

Alex and Ben. A director at the end of a remarkable run. A movie star entering the peak of his powers. A legendary writer's first Hollywood screenplay. An immaculate cast firing on all cylinders. That speech from Jack Nicholson. What more could you want?

How about lines, classics, the Cruisiverse, further thoughts on the treatment of females in Hollywood and a rumination on how messages from movies are often misinterpreted?
