LICORICE PIZZA (2021) Running is still cinematic, especially if you have a story that doesn’t have any special effects and you just got teenagers. Running is momentum. Running is an action sequence. I don’t know, it’s like a Bonnie & Clyde feeling, isn’t it? Particularly to these two people, like they’re on the run from something—they’re trying to outrun something. And they’re outrunning the inevitability, what’s going on between them which they can’t face. So just keep running, maybe it won’t catch up with you, whatever the problem of the day is. Ah it’s great. Amazing that I said that. Weird. – Paul Thomas Anderson

Psychout for Murder (Rossano Brazzi, 1969)

This thing doesn’t want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It’ll fight if it has to, but it’s vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it’s won. The Thing (1982) dir. John Carpenter

You cannot alter your fate. However, you can rise to meet it if you choose. Princess Mononoke (1997) dir. Hayao Miyazaki

“Call the police and tell ‘em the truth. Gang of high school kids came in here and demanded you serve them drinks. You tried to ID them, but they threatened to cause trouble. There was a fight. You didn’t really get a good look at the other guys. Otherwise, I imagine you and this place could get into trouble for serving minors. I mean, this is what happens.” — The Guest (2014, dir. Adam Wingard)
