For years I thought "Chinatown" was his best work. Watched it again last night and wondered why. He was great, but the movie was boring. Funny how our tastes change over time. Complicated murder mysteries just seem tedious these days, unless they blow up entire cities, have a car chase every 5 minutes, and everybody but the hero is dead by the end of it. I didn't realize my own tastes had become so jaded. Faye Dunnaway wasn't even as hot as I remembered.

Now I think I'll skip a rewatch of Cuckoo. I'd like to keep on remembering it the way I remember it.
