Flight (2012)

So the main thing about the movie is that it's not really about a plane crash. The movie really centers around alcoholism and more generally addiction.
Instant Comments: Interesting introduction. Sex. Beer. Smoking. Weed. Cocaine.
Adding three little containers of alcohol [vodka] to the orange juice...
Jeez... she couldn't help but use the needle...
Despite all the drugs and alcohol he had been consuming, he seemed completely coherent during the landing. As this landing occurred so early in the movie (about 25 minutes), it's interesting how the remaining of the movie will be filled
96 out of 102. Doesn't sound bad consider the situation.
That bloody tear is disgusting... What an image.
John Goodman.
I imagine that while from the primary point of view he saved the plane from crashing, it's possible that perhaps somehow his intoxication could have led to the failure to begin with. And/or the initial stunt he pulled during takeoff.
LOL. This Harling Mays and the transaction between him and Whitaker is interesting. Whitaker has Mays take back the vodka.
Interesting meeting in the stairwell.
Ha! The veal.
Interesting to have the bottle of liquour in the living room.
Huh. He dumps the drug and the alcohol...
"Ain't no sunshine."
A whole ton of liquour in the cabinets!
That's insane. The focus on the six deaths instead of the potential 102 deaths. I mean I get it and I don't get it. Because on the one hand it is justice and on the other hand it is injustice.
Huh. After all that dumping of alcohol... he changes his mind on the pure orange juice and asks for "Double Stoli neat" (which I assume is two shots of Stoli Vodka).
Yikes. Complete turnaround.
Huh. I thought he was supposed to be off alcohol.
Hmm. I'm not sure of the advantage of having Margaret alter her testimony. That is, given they will be acquiring the testimony of multiple persons.
Holy shit. This conversation with Ken was strange. Whip didn't really press the issue though... I thought that was good.
Huh. He informs them that while they found two bottles, he drank three. With that being said, I do remember him only throwing away two. So what does that mean? Does it have a meaning?
Still drinking the vodka orange...
Is that actually just a can of Coke? Hehe
How tense. Is he gonna fuck it up between this drop off in the hotel and morning? Don't hotels have minibars?
Hehe. No alcohol in the minibar.
Holy fuck he's getting so ansy.
Oh no. What's with this "soft knocking." Is someone gonna tempt him?
Holy shit this is kind of spooky.
Wow. This minibar is full of it...
Wow. I can't believe they created such an intense scene from whether or not he would drink a bottle of alcohol.
Yikes. Picked it up!?!
Hehe. "Call Harling Mays. He's got cocaine."
The cocaine is kind of weird resolution to him breaking on the alcohol... but sure
Hmm... Okay. I suppose that's a suitable ending.
