>"This year's pickings are, well, slimmer. Amid the furor over the degrees of suckitude in Batman v Superman, the lack of laughs delivered by Kevin Hart in Ride Along 2 and Central Intelligence, and the franchise fatigue brought on by Alice Through the Looking Glass, X-Men: Apocalypse, Zoolander 2, The Huntsman: Winter's War, and The Divergent Series: Allegiant, a few goodies did manage to poke through the sludge. Here's the best of 2016 so far:"
Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool
De Palma
Everybody Wants Some
The Fits
Hail, Caesar
The Jungle Book
Love & Friendship
Sing Street
The Witch
Zootopia

Worth watching, but so far it's been a pretty weak year for movies. Naturally, I blame capeshit
>>71128594
Disgusting list. All terrible soulless Hollywood flicks, where's the art?
They got Hail, Caesar and Everybody Wants Some right. Everything else on that list is shit.

>>71128743
Indeed
>>71128594
>"Captain America: Civil War
The year's best popcorn flick to date is one of the few films of 2016 to break the sequel jinx. The Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, actually know how to get us caught up in the feud between the Cap (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr,) and bring in Marvel's Avengers — only the Hulk and Thor are MIA — to take sides. Lesson to Hollywood suits only in it for milking a franchise: If you build the damn thing right, they will come."

Hope all the kikes in Disney collectively jizz on your face and you drown from their hot boiling mayonnaise going in through your neck and blocking your lungs so that your last act on earth is gurgling semen from the sweaty balls of wrinkly old jews. You deserve to be beheaded by the cartel, but not before getting buttfucked by a horse and a Sumo wrestler simultaneously. Your dad can watch. He wont be allowed to join in though because then you might start actually enjoying it cause its one of your favorite past times- getting railed on the ass by your dad. Fuck you.
Most of the DC & Marvel movies are complete shit.

Discarded.
The first half of every year suck.
It's a dumping ground for films studios have no faith in or Oscar bait that wasn't quite good enough peppered with the occasional big blockbuster until i June there's a deluge of summer blockbusters.
Second half of the year as we get towards the end and films that consider themselves Oscar contenders get released we see a better selection but even considering that, 2016 has been total shit for films.
I haven't seen one movie in cinemas this year. There's been nothing released I believe is worth my money.
When the fuck can I see De Palma?

>>71130643
Stop audiences going to their movies. That would require another studio to produce something better which at this point seems unlikely. They don't make anything exceptional but they don't make duds either. They are going to dominate this year's box office.
Zootopia, Dory, Jungle Book, Civil War and Rogue One.
Couple others that might do well too.
>>71129313
Foreign films come to American markets several months, often even a year after their premiere in Europe

>>71130643
War with China desu. They'll reflexively ban any and all American media, and without Chink money propping them up they'll have to make movies for western audiences again, who are growing increasingly tired of endless sequels and reboots.

>>71130857
>>71130816
it's a list of movies from someone who doesn't care much if films are dramatically engaging, but buys into the idea of film as a visual rather than a storytelling form.in other words a hipster

I won't deny that it might be one his best, since the bar is so damn low.
>>71130955

>>71130947
There's so much more to film than narrative. Go watch a play if you just want a story; cinema is a visual medium that can manipulate time, color, shape, and motion. Ignoring this ability makes for sterile movies that are fucking boring to watch.
>>71131092

Yeah the profundity of ham-fisted imagery overlayed on melodramatic music was lost on me.

>>71131092
>he uses the film/movie dichotomy
I know I'm dealing with a memester or a retard, but I won't be rude like the other guy. I'll say ToL was very moving to me, and I understand it won't appeal to every viewer, but to be completely unappreciative of everything Malick tries to do takes a very closed mind
>>71131301
>ham fisted imagery
I bet you haven't even scratched the surface of his visual story telling. What did you think of the use of the Sun in the context of water based settings?
>>71131210
Don't put words in mouth, that's not what I implied at all. I implied they usually place greater importance on narrative than films and lack the ability to manipulate image on a comparable level, not that narrative is the only trait they're known for.
>>71131356
>muh plato
>muh divine truth
overused and repetitive.
>>71131388
Overused where? When capeshit gets put on a best of anything list, it shows a clear lack of any complexity, or even an attempt at philosophy. Surely you'd rather sit through a perceived Malick failure than the bland movies that are mainstream now. Talk about repetitive.
Where is it that you see the ideas of Plato used so often in film? Please, I'd love to know
>>71131301
>melodrama is bad
>simple images are bad
a) You don't even know what film you're talking about. You've posted an image from Knight of Cups when the discussion topic was clearly The Tree of Life
b) You clearly don't understand the significance of the image you've posted, but you're whining about how obvious it was (while providing no explanation)
You may be trolling, but you're also a pseud, and you know it
>>71131461
We can definitely agree on our contempt for cape shit. But Plato/the Sun is a metaphor that's been used in film (and literature and theater and art etc.) forever. Which is fine, it's an important metaphor, but it was overdone and stale in ToL. In film the first that comes to mind is Blade Runner. In literature, The Stranger.
>>71131468
It's in Tree of Life senpai. Like the last fifteen minutes. And as for what it means, I have no idea. Some of the images felt ham-fisted, while others just misplaced.
>>71128594
Shit year
>>71131572
Alright, I can see that. What would you like to see in philosophical films? I feel Malick didn't just have "sun imagery". The use of tarot cards was very prominent and added another layer entirely. One shot that stands out was the Sun card sinking in the pool. Someone who has done more research could provide a much more compelling argument, but there's this repeated theme of ascending vs descending, and some ambiguity as to where water falls in the metaphor for lack a better word. Often times, as the main character drowns in the glamour of his lifestyle, we see things fall through water. But at the same time, he frequently returns to beaches. It's not clear that water is and indicator of good or bad. Sorry, I know those thoughts are jumbled, but I don't find those concepts common or shallow. Any films you'd recommend that handle similar concepts more effectively in your opinion?
>>71131631
Retard, your file name is literally "Knight of Cups Trailer". And you claim the ideas are ham fisted, yet you admit to not understanding them? Shit, put some thought into it. Malick is very smart and meticulous, he doesn't put in shots for the sake of looking pretty or just seeming deep. They do have a meaning, a purpose in his visual story.
>>71128594
>rollingstone
Literally could not give a flying fuck
>>71131737
Malick was a Heidegger scholar, so he's obviously a very smart guy who knows his stuff. In terms of films that deal with the "big" questions like ToL tries to do, 2001 A Space Odyssey is the best in my opinion. There you have a completely different angle though, with more Nietzschean themes than Malick's Christian spin.

>>71130105
I actually really like the new DC logo
>>71131808
The image is from ToL, but it was linked to an article about Knight of Cups, which is confusing so that's my bad. But it's in ToL. I'm sure Malik has a reason and wasn't just throwing shit in there. But if you watch the whole 30 minute sequence that ends the film, it just feels corny

>>71131957
You know, my bad, I do remember that shot from ToL now. But I definitely don't find the sequence cheesy. If anything, it's grown on me over the rewatches. Malick is extremely sincere, and as I allowed myself to be sucked in by the film, I saw the beauty of the end. When you're speaking so bluntly about topics as huge as love and spirituality, even the idea of eternity, it's hard not to seem "cheesy". But if you can put aside this stigma that has been placed on the exposed and vulnerable honesty that Malick expresses, it's a very powerful moment

Oh are you >>71131846 ? I thought it was two different people. Of course I've seen 2001, it's phenomenal. But on a imagery level, I just don't see how it compares. Everything in KoC matters, from the chapters to the women in them, each shot of water or palm trees, besides the fact I found the editing to be extremely reminiscent of memory or a dream, each shot comes at an important time and deals with "solar" symbolism, whatever that means to you. Beyond the concepts of the sun and moon, and what they stand for, we see a picking apart of not only the rich, empty lifestyle we see on the surface level, but the concepts of hedonism and masculinity. Many movies asks big questions, but KoC asks very specific questions, and does its best to answer. Nothing about this film do I see as overdone or not impressive

>lead character disappears for the third act, doesn't even resolve the conflict
>not an ensemble mystery caper as it was sold in the trailer, just a few big name stars that pop up for a scene or two (scarjo, jonah hill, channing tatum)
It captured the essence of the time period/the studio system but otherwise the narrative was a fucking joke. Fucking disgraceful.
>>71132374
Yeah I am. And sorry man, the imagery in 2001 is far superior in my mind. The death of hal scene. The dawn of man with the ape using the first tool. pic related. The time sequence towards the end. There's so many.

Wow, thread got shit up, hard to find your post. For sure 2001 has amazing visuals, I've just yet to find a film that base as much complexity in each frame as Knight Of Cups. Check out this (https://letterboxd.com/knightofcup/film/knight-of-cups/) it's a compilation of analyses done here on /tv/ of different aspects of the movie. Some of it may be reaching or incoherent, but hopefully it'll give a good idea of what I've been trying to say.
2001 does ask big questions, and it has big visual gestures, but the symbolism isn't there on such a deep level.
>>71132588
It's just the birth of another obsessive autist, 4chan has a rich history of that
>>71132588
Thank god for image filters
>>71132609
I'll take a look, but you're definitely messing up about 2001 not having the symbolism. Knowledge of Nietzsche's three metamorphoses and Heidegger's understanding of tools and artifacts is important (considering the main piece of music is Thus Sprach Zarathustra).
>>71128594

>>71132680
Alright, I definitely have reading to do, I'm sure I'm missing stuff. But hopefully you can find more meaning in Malick's late films as well. Even if 2001 may be flawless and stuff like ToL and KoC may not (though I feel they are), I prefer them, if for no other reason than their emotional impact. Comparative depth aside, something about the way Malick can emulate things like memory and love really works for me. Symbolism is fun to pick apart after the fact, but the truth is, I find those films to be engaging on a basic narrative level and moving on an emotional one as well
>>71132750

Badlands is a classic
It's a fine list done by a very mainstream and publication. The worst film there is a 6.5.
So of course this triggers the autists. Mind you that whatever other films were there would trigger other autists, or even the same ones, who live for that. Such is life on the sewer of /tv/
