Hi there I'm Alan and I'll be commenting on this film. #omg18

Hervey Okkles here, and I'll be commenting on this film as well

I like David Lowery's stuff I've seen, and actually been meaning to check this out, ready for a real film after what we went through today #omg18

Blu-ray menu was *quiet*, it was wild #omg18

Beautiful circular bank, I thought it was an arena when it was featured in the menu

And damn, we got some film grain, baby #omg18

This looks gorgeous. #omg18

Redford's finest role, as "Mr. Dressed All Up in a Blue Suit" #omg18

How long is it going to be before they acknowledge that he's wearing an earpiece? #omg18

Do you think other characters should be shocked by it? That they should be shaming him for his bad hearing? #omg18

Oh I assumed it was a police radio monitor. #omg18

It might be doing double-duty #omg18

GOOD LATE TITLE CARD #omg18

Lot of nice leisurely sequences set over pleasant soft jazz, I'm not sure such a gentle, patient movie is Earful material, but I'm liking it #omg18

Going to the bathroom in a bank? Foreboding. #omg18

Wow, we got a whole old guy stickup crew now #omg18

Nice the No Country for Old Men character actor, now in a nice scene opposite Redford (now mustached) #omg18

I'm learning that the key to being a successful bank robber is being a gentleman. #omg18

Redford, Danny Glover, and Tom Waits is such a good old man crime gang #omg18

Oh wow, Tom Waits! Excellent. #omg18

They may not be talking about his hearing aid, but they're sure talking about the absence of his hearing aid #omg18

Redford knows that he doesn't have to mix it up, always lead with your best material #omg18

A world before real-time connected police departments. #omg18

He is a very charismatic robber! #omg18

Very fun to just hang around a big bank for a while. #omg18

That's how they make so much money #omg18

The Tom Waits story about hating Christmas was very good. #omg18

Budweiser is the drink of the ep. #DrinkOfTheEp #TheOldManAndTheBud #omg18

A great vibe to a movie in which the daring robbery of a vault goes on invisibly offscreen, but we spend 10 minutes having old guys enjoying watching television #omg18

Why is he so happy? Why happy #mysteryofthesmile #omg18

Detective John Hunt just can't catch a break. #omg18

Nice gold haul! #GoldHaul #omg18

Their faces are glowing

I should steal some gold, it looks so great #omg18

Bob doing a good job converting a non-rocking chair into a rocking chair. #omg18

Drink of the ep is either some bourbon, or maybe ice tea, unclear #omg18

A comedic reversal in which Bob actually needs to do a transaction at the bank. #omg18

It's Peggy! #MadMenCrossover #omg18

Casey Affleck looking a lot more rumpled since he was taken off the case #rumpledcasey #omg18

Bob can't help but casually case the jewelry shop while on the jewelry shopping date. #omg18

I'd recognize Cincinnati's Carew Tower anyday #omg18

Nice quick montage of photos of Robert Redford over the years. #omg18

This movie really is a great sort of "capstone" movie for an old actor, Redford picked a great role here #omg18

Folks, we got 'im #omg18

Nice radio built directly into the wall in Detective John Hunt's house. Swanky. #omg18

It's so fucking sick

We have the technology to embed appliances in walls, we just don't anymore #omg18

It all happens at the Blue Jay #omg18

The Blue Jay advertises offering two things:

- Chili

- Home cooking

#omg18

Unclear if the chili is home-cooked. #omg18

Enormously charming interaction at the Blue Jay, this rules #omg18

This film is the polar opposite of most crime drama in that it really feels like there's no risk of anyone getting caught or hurt at any time. Quite pleasant. #omg18

It's like a Joe Pera variant of "Heat" #omg18

These old bones have one last chase in them after all. #omg18

Beautiful stuff #omg18

Kind of a Wes Anderson vibe pivot to this breakout montage, sure why not #omg18

Just showing old Robert Redford footage from other movies is so good, love it when movies do this #omg18

The Rub-a-Dub-Dub boat — a Bob Dylan reference! #omg18

These old bones have one more bank robbery in them after all! #omg18

Correction: these old bones have *four* more bank robberies in them after all! #omg18

Legitimately great movie; but not so pantheon-level great that describing it seems impossible

But so leisurely and gentle and not very logistics-oriented, it seems a difficult (but not impossible) fit for Earful #omg18

I could maybe see following the geography of it all being interesting, e.g. the specific banks and their properties and history. Not a lot more than that to really dig into though. #omg18

Excellent film, really enjoyable. A nice palate cleanser after Rampage and Red Sparrow. #omg18

It's ultimately a guy who robbed a lot of banks because he realized logistics were fake and all you really need is good manners and a smile

Which is charming, but hard to analyze, per se #omg18
