FT on Beckett, Keanu and Alex Winter in Godot

"Like his approximate contemporary Bertolt Brecht, Beckett pared language down and reconfigured it into a strange new register to produce effects of absurdity and alienation: too intensely sincere to be ironic or parodic, but too bizarre and blasé to be tragic. You know someone is winking but you’re never sure if you’re in on the joke"

@mookie #Speed (1994) would only get a 6 out of 10 from me now but would have given it at least a 7 when it was 1st released, because it was something new/different at the time.

It's the movie that got #SandraBullock's career as a "MovieStar started but it also contributed to an acceleration of #KeanuReeve's career as well.

Loved #DennisHooper in his key supporting role.
