    Eighteen months into convincing my six year old son that The Adjustment Bureau is real (and responsible for bedtime, etc) and my idiot friend mentions the movie right in front of him??? Absolutely unreal.

    I went to see an early screening of The Adjustment Bureau and just before the end of the second act, when I was the most invested I'd ever be in the movie, the projector broke and they sent everyone home. I don't think I'll ever know how that movie ended.

    TRIVIA: The visual plan for the film was to use a dolly or crane to keep camera movements smooth and employ a more formal style when the Adjustment Bureau was in full control, and to use hand-held cameras and allow things to become looser when the Bureau was losing control. (Wikipedia) 🖤

    Remember the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" (2011) where a promising young politician had his career derailed after it came out he'd been arrested for indecent exposure because he mooned someone when he was in college? You couldn't make that movie now. No one would buy that premise.

    Terrance Stamp was both great and beautiful in many things, but my top recommendation to you is THE LIMEY, a terrific movie in which he is great but merely handsome. (In his paycheck parts, I also love him being blase in a hat in the fun little B-movie called The Adjustment Bureau)
