“I sometimes think Point Break is my favorite movie. It depends what one means by “favorite.” Is it the same as your desert island movie? Do I think it’s the best movie? It depends what you mean when you say something’s good. There’s a sense in which it’s not a good movie at all—I mean, of course, the 1991 Point Break, starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, which is in some ways a ridiculous, even stupid movie—yet I am basically always up for watching it, and right when it’s over, I always sort of want to watch it again.”
