Speed
LIKE A SWISS WATCH. FRENCH COUTURE. IT’S SPEED!!!!
a perfect movie. not a stitch out of place. thematically the tightest something could be and so well constructed to deliver suspense and the perfect escalation of stakes every time. production design and score sLAP. two of the cutest people ever on film and also alan ruck in tourist purgatory. weirdly only possible to make in between the northridge earthquakes and 9/11. the most LA movie to ever be a movie set in LA — i love it here baby, i love that it immediately understands that we have so many people with vanity plates.
i used to take the metrolink to union station and then take the red line to pershing square for work every day and one time the trains weren’t running so they offered a bus that ran the same route back out to san bernardino county and i was on that bus for three hours and i was like “wow. this is just like Speed. only it’s taking so so long.”
i love this movie :) i hoot and holler and clap and gasp and it’s the best rollercoaster you could ever be on. and lord knows the sexiest thing a man can do is kneel down when you’re crying and ask what you need.
