re: Report: Days of Thunder 2 in development by Tom Cruise & Joseph Kosinski

The first hour of Days of Thunder is a good as any action spectacular ever made.

Once Kidman hits the film, it nosedives into will Smith's "Concussion" until the last 20 mins.

It's still one of the most absolutely rewatchable pictures ever and one of the most beautifully shot movies of its time, however.

I dearly miss this long primes and hazy neons and golden hours on celluloid. Tony Scott's 80s and 90s setup, atmospheric snd establishing shots were paintings.

I already loved it as a kid. You don't have to keep trying to convince me.
