i have a list of movies i’ve seen bits and pieces of on tv and/or with my dad over the years that i’ve never actually watched start-to-finish and heat’s been at the top of that list for ages but i never bit the bullet until tonight only because i saw a tweet about it today and thought you know what… this is a sign. it’s time.
