Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Ocean’s Eleven is effortlessly cool. It’s far superior to the film it’s based on, which is quite a feat considering its cast included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Cesar Romero. This heist film is slick, exciting, funny, smart and contains an extra special ingredient that makes it stand out among its peers.
Freshly released from prison, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) reconnects with his former partner-in-crime, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) to plan a heist of legendary scale. In order to simultaneously rob the Bellagio, Mirage and MGM Grand Casinos, they assemble a crew (Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Casey Affleck, Carl Reiner, Elliot Gould, Eddie Jemison and Shaobo Qin). But is this elaborate plot about the money, or is Danny trying to get even with the casinos' owner, Terry Benedict (Andy García), who happens to be dating his ex-wife, Tess (Julia Roberts)?
That last question is the key to the film’s success. Ocean's Eleven is as much about the money as it is about Danny and Tess. That relationship immediately helps you overcome one of the biggest flaws of any heist film: the protagonist’s dubious morals. Stealing money is iffy. Stealing from a casino? A lot less. When the money seems to be an afterthought and the real objective is getting the love of your life back from a sleazeball like Terry Benedict, it’s an easy sell. With a huge cast of characters and a plot that involves all of them at various points, there’s a lot to keep track of but you’ve got that central anchor to keep you grounded. When Danny enters the casino, it’s to check on the security and see how Tess is doing. His longing for her is putting the mission at risk, which adds extra tension. There was already plenty of it… but not in the way you might expect.
Remember that this movie is cool. It’s breazy. It’s a nice walk in the park - or at least it feels that way. The people assembled to pull off this job are pros (well, professional enough to pull this scheme off anyway). Everyone has their parts to play and individually, none of the components are THAT complicated. This makes the scenes when things don’t go according to plan that much more uncertain. Once in a while, you mentally take a step back and that’s when you realize "Wait a minute! There’s so much that could go wrong, and so much that’s gone wrong already!" You just didn’t realize how dire things were because you were having such a good time. You weren't sweating before but now you are. These stakes are high. Not only because you care about the characters, not only because it’s a lot of well-protected money, but because Andy Garcia does a great job playing the villain. No cheap tricks, just an air of menace and a thin layer of slime that tells you immediately how much you don’t like him.
Ocean's Eleven has loads of energy and style. It feels like you’re hanging out with the boys and that if they win, you will too. You’re laughing at the escapades along the way, you’re wondering what Danny’s really up to, you’re looking forward to Benedict getting his comeuppance, you’re tapping your feet to the music, marveling at the editing and pacing. All in all, Ocean’s Eleven is a great deal of fun and very memorable. (January 28, 2022)

So sorry that I wanted two characters that have been through trauma and loneliness to find happiness and love in the comfort that they have with each other. What a silly goose I was hoping for that

⋆♱✮♱⋆ 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 ⋆♱✮♱
𝒌𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒔' 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔:
johnny utah, neo, jack traven & john wick: 'tragic hero' lovers - they would fight for your love undoubtedly, "sacrificing" themselves for the sake of the relationship
david allen griffin: 'yandere' lover - beguiling, male siren; psychotically obsessed, will literally kill anyone who gets in their way in favour of your love. probably stalk or kidnap you if he had to. he doesn't take no for an answer, he WILL get you and you WILL comply to him and his warped fantasies
ted logan: 'high school sweetheart' lover - innocent, goofy, dorky, neurodivergent boyfriend that cherishes you cutely as the "bodacious babe" you are, gradually growing up with you and marrying later on, solidifying the 'excellence'. childhood sweethearts....
you'll also have a daughter called Billie (i know, just don't ask.)
kevin lomax, donnie barksdale & johnny silverhand: 'toxic' lovers - first two are both dangerous men who will jeopardise the relationship selfishly for themselves. one is a greedy lawyer who sold his soul and one is a hillbilly redneck who's a serial wife-beater & racist. one, however, is just a sleazy foul-mouthed terrorist who holds strong radical, anti-mainstream beliefs. he's not dangerous like the other two but he is not a nice guy
julian mercer: 'the ideal type' lover - this guy is an all-in-one, a dream come true, sent from heaven, everything you'd wish in a man is him. he is perfect. husband material core, the dream man ™
alex wyler: 'soulmate' lover - predestined love wandering aimlessly in an alternate world. your souls are meant for each other but you just don't know yet or you don't exist in the same timeline
john constantine: 'secret' lover - he has a deep crush on you but doesn't tell you, for some reason. probably because of his ego to just maintain that cool guy aura, or he's just a shy guy
scott favour: 'friends with benefits/affair' lover - a short bittersweet romance that was full of deep sensuality & soulful friendship but he'd eventually break it off to go back to his wealthy life. don't be too disheartened, he still misses you
matt & rupert marshetta: 'typical teenage' lover - you guys were best friends but decided to turn that spark into romance. you're both teenagers and most likely aware of the notoriously short expiry dates of young adolescent love but it's nice to live in the moment
#john wick#neo#the matrix#river's edge#john constantine#constantine#johnny utah#johnny silverhand#donnie barksdale#the watcher 2000#david allen griffin#scott favour#my own private idaho#something's gotta give#the lake house#ted theodore logan#ted logan#bill and ted#the devil's advocate#kevin lomax#headcanon#keanu reeves#fluff#angst#*

so i just watched ravenous with commentary from the screenwriter, and at one point, he talked about how ravenous was a hard film for the studio to decide to make and then also hard to market as it was "a period piece about cannibalism with No Love Story"
...did robert carlyle get that memo? or antonia bird, for that matter?
#no love story to YOU maybe. but to those of us with vision? it's another matter entirely#anyway robert should have been allowed to change even more of the script#ravenous 1999#robert carlyle#antonia bird#i quite frankly very nearly didnt watch the commentary w/ ted griffin and jeffrey jones for a multitude of reasons (primarily jeffrey jones)#but i gave it a shot anyway. and i don't really recommend. weekest of the commentaries for sure#also ted kept saying some shit that kept pissing me off#anyway. i gotta shut up now

Which group of Keanu's characters would you like to be kidnapped?
Kidnapping me: John Wick, Donaka Mark, Donnie Barksdale, David Allen Griffin
If I were kidnapping them: I think Neo would be an easy target before he takes the red pill or Ted, I could just lure him into a truck that has ‘Eddie Van Halen Tour Bus’ painted on the side.

I also heard, and maybe it's just a rumor, but he pisses his pants on purpose because he likes the warm feeling against his legs.

vance : i didn't understand why people cared so much about their dumb fluffy-haired trans best friends, until i got a dumb fluffy-haired trans best friend myself.
vance : *lifts finney by the collar*
vance : i've only had finney for a day and a half, but if anything happens to him i will kill everyone in this room and then myself.
finney : *smiles sweetly, and waves*
