RATE. DISGUST. WATCH.
What movie that you watched this year differed most from your expectations?
what's wrong with the movies made by Tarantino?
>>72093809
Nothing? I guess they might be too edgy or dark for some people, after all they're mostly about murderers and killers of various kinds.
I guess the references and obvious influences from old films might grate someone.
>>72093704
fucked my mind up near the end
it was great tho
>>72093704
When I watched The Yards I expected another mediocre somber melodrama made by Gray. That was exactly what I got.
The infamous overrating of JG by so many is really a strange thing.
>>72093809
mostly the underage/pleb fanbase and tarantino's autistic behaviors
>>72093915
i have to agree i don't understand what people see in his films at all
>>72093809
They're the kind of thing, along with The Matrix or Donnie Darko, that you see when you're fourteen and it really affects you, but by the time you're an adult you should probably be past them. He writes for older children, basically. He's competent, to be certain, but hardly anything else.
>>72093809
He has a horrible fanbase that gets mixed up with his films.

>>72094776
It's usually better to focus on either a movement, a time period, a director, or a genre because you actually gain insight into different arenas of filmmaking. You'll understand how directors differed, what attitudes where prevalent in what part of the world at what time, or just how a director's techniques and sensibilities changed over time and/or the prevailing stylistic or thematic concerns of the catalogue. It ends up being much more rewarding than just randomly collecting unconnected films with no relation to each other.
Currently working on gendai-geki films from 30s-60s Japan. Primarily Ozu, Naruse, Mizoguchi, and Kurosawa -- anyone know of any other directors I should check out in this sphere?

I'm married, but the relationship is polyamorous. Which means that my partner and I date other people. My first date with my partner was 12 Years a Slave (lol, what a date movie). This is not an exhaustive list, because I can't remember them all, but here's some films I saw with somebody who I was dating at the time.
If you have questions about poly, I'm happy to answer but bear in mind that I'll be selective in what I choose to divulge vis-a-vis personal info about my dates.

I haven't made the Hellman list public yet because I have to watch a couple more things, but I think Cockfighter and Two-Lane Blacktop are his best right now.
>>72098148
assault on precinct 13 but the remake
>>72098199
You should try adding some context to the notes. Like why they were important films for the genre/of their time (if they were) or why did you find them meaningful/good in the context of the genre they represented.
That'd help ignorant and new people to go into it!
>>72098148
Remove Memeing Las Vegas, Aguirre, and Ed Wood. Watch Before Sunrise.
>>72098205
Is this 'Ali = good Mann film' some recent thing because of his death or did I sleep on it
>>72098211
I can only wonder why would you rec that
>>72098211
The remake has aged worse than the original.
And the original was made 29 years before the remake and it's been 40 years now since the original.
Just saying.
Also there were some feels in 13 Hours the Bay film that made me think of the original Assault on Precinct 13

i think it's more people just appreciating mann's work in general
http://letterboxd.com/pastafrola/
>>72098287
I've thought it was one of his best since I first saw it on DVD in 2007 or 2008. The longer cut released on home video is superior to the theatrical, in this case. It has more stuff with Howard Cosell and includes a fight the theatrical omits.
The one thing that is unique in this film compared to others in Mann's filmography is he does something with planes of focus in every shot, where one thing is in focus, then he switches to something in front of or behind it.

Seventh Seal isn't bad, and it's a decent entry point into Bergman, who everyone should get around to watching at some point anyway.
>>72097869
I love that whole thread about the "guy who had no place to stay". It's strangely profound to be coming from a guy like Harris.
>>72098148
Carnival of Souls, Akiru, or Aguirre.

I don't think it's a perfect movie and it doesn't achieve anything super special, but I just like the music, the story, main characters and their chemistry between them.
Fruitvale Station 2013 ½
Watched Dec 20, 2013
Molly’s review:
Even if the last days of Grant's life were held up under inspection, this movie would still lack in its relentlessly positive portrayal of its subject.
A great look into why modern day black culture is so cancerous to America & why the black community seems to think they are victimized so much when they put themselves into said situations, screaming, "YO HOMIE I AINT DO NUTTIN" after getting into a fist fight or refusing to cooperate with a simple police interaction.
This biopic is about how one criminal who doesn't know how to act around the police gets what's coming to them after acting like an idiot followed by the entire black community making them out to be a hero & a "victim".
I could go on, but this movie speaks for itself; Don't break the law, don't be a public nuisance, and don't act like an idiot around the police and maybe you won't get shot!
