Got my copy of the @secondsightfilms.bsky.social 4K release of The Nice Guys, featuring my essay linking Russell Crowe’s character in the film as the spiritual successor of Bud White in L.A. Confidential. Huge thanks to @phillipescott.bsky.social for thinking of me for this one!

The cast of Shutter Island is ridiculously stacked with great character actors, but I think I've gotta give it to Patricia Clarkson, who tucks the movie into her back pocket and walks away with it. Also great: Ted Levine as the warden extolling the God-given virtues of violence.
