Okay, I really liked that movie. Badass Clint Eastwood, karmic justice, and kinda creepy unstated things! I'm basking in the sort of afterglow that comes from city-scale arson, because that's how the film left me feeling.

...I have been watching too many Westerns lately. But this was one of those where after watching it, I was like "That was cool. ( Read more... )
