Belissimo.
Great work Matt.
Damn, Matt, that is excellent. I was listening last night to a 1968 recording of Pauline Kael and was reminded that, at her best, she had a blend of erudition and level-headedness that made for wonderful criticism. As different as you are from her, I see something of the same qualities. And in this piece, the splice where we come back from the most bizarre moments of Vertigo and 2001 to Snoopy's puzzled face staring straight at us--genius.
More. Please. I've really missed your words. So words+images=delight. Thanks, dude. The edits from Snoopy to Jimmy to space/s to Snoopy again are great, hilarious.
Awesome job, my friend. :-)
Wonderful. I'll be passing this on to a few people.
Incidentally enough, I just watched Vertigo again last night.
That was excellent. Thank you Matt.
