>>70217097
Shit list. Isn't that the imdb top 50?
>>70217201
But you forgot to tell me about the films you've seen, liked and disliked..
I intended to watch a movie last night but I wound up falling asleep instead. I have no regrets.
>>70217230
>you forgot to tell me

What a fucking humble cunt you are. This isn't YOUR general, champ

HAHAHAHA that was great, do you have any other spicy hot zingers to throw at us?
http://letterboxd.com/Synt/
>What you've been watching?
Pic related.
>What films are you gonna watch tonight?
I've never seen Purple Rose of Cairo so may be checking that out later.
Best recent: Probably Xavier Dolan's Les Amours Imaginaires.
Worst: Hush by the guy who may be doing the new Halloween movie. And it wasn't even that terrible.

>What you've been watching?
Random movies off my list like always
>What films are you gonna watch tonight?
idk maybe its finally time to cross City of God off my list, been on there for years
>Best recent (<1 week) film you've seen?
oh dear...i guess Le Samurai
>Worst (<1 week) film you've seen?
i only saw three and they were all good to great, i guess The Quiet Man because i wasn't exactly falling off my seat laughing but its still a great film
recommendations welcome
>What you've been watching?
Pic related and finished season 1 of True Detective today
>What films are you gonna watch tonight?
Maybe Ashes of Time or some capeshit.
>Best recent (<1 week) film you've seen?
The Exorcist probably
>Worst (<1 week) film you've seen?
Haven´t seen anything horrible recently but maybe Howls Moving Castle is the "worst" I have seen
>>70217750
Mites tommoselle kuraselle Inseptionille antaa ny nui paljo arvoa, jumalauta mikä sontakasa se o.
Interstellari niin paljon parempi desu
>>70217805
Ei se Inception ole niin hyvä kuin jotkut väittää sen myönnän hetitoki ei se nyt paska leffa omasta mielestäni missään nimessä ole niin kuin sää sanot
Interstellar pitäis kattoa uudelleen joskus toiste toki sekin oli hyvä leffa.
TL: Yeah Inception ain´t as good as some people say I`ll admit thatthough it`s not a bad movie by any means in my opinion like you are saying
I should probably re-watch Interstellar at some point though I thought it was a good movie

Do you think Paprika is better than Inception? (or you haven't seen it)
Any good people to follow that focus on specific genres?
>>70219629
I have seen Paprika and while I like it I think it´s Satoshi Kons "weakest" movie. I rated both Paprika and Inception 3.5/5 but if I had to choose I would say Paprika just because of the amazing soundtrack of Paprika while Inceptions soundtrack is overrated tbqh.
Is this right?

what the fuck is your account
Rewatched Vertigo for the 4th time in the last 2.5 years, still a mesmerizing movie, watched Clerks II, which was kind of vulgar, revisited The Earrings Of Madame De..., which will probably get the full five stars the next time I watch it, finished the Human Condition trilogy, which is clearly overhyped in lbxd (but still pretty good) and finally discovered the surprisingly great LA Confidential.

There has been a lot of double posts here lately
best: crank
worst:oxford murders
can't believe it doesn't have a cult following. it's hilariously bad.
Been at werk and watching Hannibal recently so haven't been watching a lot of movies
I still love Queen of Earth but fuck Bell Diamond is just so fucking raw it's become one of my favs
/yawned
i guess the best(s) would be spl 2 and j'ai pas sommeil, but if you include rewatches then hyperlinks or it didn't happen
worst would be x-men the last stand
Haven't seen 15 films in this. Currently downloading Deadpool.

Hannibal is the shit. i just started rewatching s3 last night.
>>70226955

>>70226955
Steakbro, I think I recommended you DUST IN THE WIND in a thread last night..?
>>70227035
i don't know if i'd call s1 shit but it's definitely the worst of the three seasons
probably a 6/10 overall, but season 2 jumps to 8/10 and 3 is an easy 9
>>70227068
yeah, in the thread about THE ASSASSIN?
thanks for the rec, dude. such a fantastic piece of work.
>>70217097
http://letterboxd.com/evolution_rex/
>>70227130
I think I recommended you 13 HOURS too, or discussed about it with you too when I pointed out it shares a DOP with Miami Vice.
nice to see that you liked both m8
>>70227185
yeah, i thought 13 HOURS had some serious flaws, but overall it's a pretty respectable film for Bay. i'd still take BLACK HAWK DOWN over it any day though.

mojave phone booth was the worst of the month so far
http://letterboxd.com/ihaveautism/
>>70228313
you're an idiot and you have shit taste
De Palma talks like a problem solver of directing, not someone interested in great thematic density as so Jackieray writes about him to justify his love.
That isn’t to say there is a political consciousness—De Palma talks very frank about the ideas of Casualties of War for example—but he describes things in their surfaces values, whether it’s the body of a woman, the texture of blood, or the delights of a Steadicam movement.
Jackieray too often imparts his own values onto a director's psychology, and De Palma remains emphatically someone interested less in the script than in the values of a surface, the pleasures created while watching

Gummo and Life in a Day
>>70231512
What's wrong with Gummo?
>>70231985
I think that circuses are morally repugnant, especially when its intended audience is supposed to somehow be "better" than the subject matter. I can see what Korine is gunning for and I think his approach is disgusting. I seldom agree with Mike D'Angelo but his capsule was spot-on (and legitimized much of what I felt). it's available here: https://www.panix.com/~dangelo/col22.html#gumm.html
but hey, a lot of people seem to adore it. I had the same experience with Kids so maybe (early) Korine just isn't for me.
Has anybody watched Eurocrime yet????
>>70217414
how did hush get a 3?
>>70232210
I rarely agree with any reviewer that I follow, but I follow them (like D'Angelo) because they write well and always refreshing to see things from another perspective.
>>70233752
What are you implying?
>>70233621
Most surely
>>70230648
Only if Jackieray is interviewed.
>>70233871
>>70232210
D'Angelo is a good writer with shitty pleb taste.
>>70234082
His style is stolen from David Foster Wallace, forgot to mention.

I don't really get the hype for The Searchers other than that its historically significant. I might change my mind if I watch it again in the future, but other than John Wayne's character and the cinematography, I wasn't very interested in it. But I've never been a huge fan of any western made in before the 90s, which is a shame on my part. I just can't seem to get into those movies.
I'm also a Tarantino fan, which is a hit/miss for people. I understand the complaints people have, but I love his stuff regardless.
>>70242123

Hell yeah I suggested that awhile back. I might try using your site again.

The Hateful Eight is actually pretty good, but Ford is the greatest American filmmaker of all-time, and there's a strong argument for The Searchers being his magnus opus.

I've seen the Big Parade and Chang recently. The Big Parade is one of my favorites. The First World War interests me. Chang was decent. It was a look at life in a Siamese village in the jungle.

I've put The Wild Bunch and The Good the Bad and the Ugly on my watchlist, and I'm mainly looking for all the classics. I have no desire to see anything that doesn't mildly interest me, and the plots to most westerns sound generic and I don't want to bother with them.
>>70259403
Okay, where are the arguments?
Also, here's a defense for me mostly enjoying westerns from the 90s and on. Westerns are like the capeshit of the 1900s, and for a long period they just kept shitting out the same stuff year after year. Not all of them were crap, but the whole genre feels suffocating that when you look up what a particular movie is about, it just sounds like a typical western movie, and that quite frankly sounds as boring as sitting through Marvel movies over and over. It wasn't really until the 90s when they started make post-western film era westerns, and they seem to use the archetypes and cliches to their advantage and creating vastly superior movies.
The Wild Bunch is fucking shit. Peckinpah was trash in general

I'll watch it and see for myself. The director interests me because I saw that sort of shit remake of Straw Dogs, and I wanted to see the original.
>>70271095
disagree but Peckinpah was really conflicted about his violence during that period.

No. And I don't even like either of them, but of fucking course they aren't terrible. it's like you retards don't know what words- like TERRIBLE-means.

Fuck you faggots for recommending it.

This. I think it pissed me off not because it was terrible, but because it was so hyped yet soooo bland and empty

>>70273029
The acting is shaky (Jake and Paul are pretty good though), it's visually bland, we're given no set up or reason to care about this family, it's shallow - is it really bringing up thought provoking questions or approaching the topic in an original way? - the pacing is sluggish, it's made to elicit feelings of disturbance or fear from the audience but failed to do so; any seasoned movie goer saw through it and realized much of it was nothing but shock value.
So there, there are some personal reasons why I didn't care for it, such as the film's ineffectiveness, as well as some more objective points, such as pacing and blandness
Prisoners is hollow as shit posturing. Just like any other Villeneuve film

>>70273212
I disagree with everything you said except for the shallow part, but a shallow movie doesn't equal bad. But the prisoner motif, the mazes, and the snakes gives it some ambiguity to its themes, which I'd say makes it a little bit of an original take.

so literally never
>>70273392
I did say above, it's not that it's bad, or it's at least not incompetent (because I do consider a lack of good to be bad), but it was so hyped up, yet not only was it shallow, but it was pretending to be something deeper, as you say with the snakes and such, which pisses me off. I'm fine with a straightforward story, but don't convolute it with meaningless additions to make it seem more, because that's insulting.
There were so many moments of *CUE THE SAD MUSIC AND HAVE A CHARACTER SEEM REALLY SAD. WE'LL GET THAT ACROSS WITH YELLING. There was no nuance to the films or the acting. So while it was competently made (although I'd argue pacing was indeed a flaw), and my personal irks with it's shallowness aside, it failed not only to be original, but meaningful as well.
>>70273630
I keep bumping into them, too bad that attack helicopter lurks these threads and has me muted/banned so I can't follow other than what I randomly see in film pages.

surelly not this one, then.
>>70273392
I realize my points here >>70273741 may seem jumbled, but I promise I'm not memeing. Allow me to try to articulate better.
You're right, shallowness and straightforwardness are by no means inherently bad. But Prisoners pretended to be more than it was, causing it to drag and feel bloated. Rather than use nuance to really affect the viewer, it not-so-subtly threw in mazes and scenes of emotional distress. Yet these seem unconvincing when neither the acting nor the story proves strong enough to pull the viewer in and get them invested.
>>70273902
Because that shitbag writes well when he aint too busy being offended?

I've never understood that argument about any movie. A movie can fail to be clever, but I don't really get how a movie can pretend to be more meaningful than it is. It merely 'is.' It seems like you guys just want to use the word pretentious, but know its a buzzword so you just reworded it.

>>70274237
>but I don't really get how a movie can pretend to be more meaningful than it is. It merely 'is.'
When it pretends. Like Sicario pretends that the fact about America born drug trade is HUGE REVEAL OMIGOD and everyone should be shocked or someshit.
or when they use symbols for the sake of symbols with very hollow ties to narrative and story (Prisoners)
>>70274237
Ok fine. I'm trying to say it poses as a movie meant to make you question morals, meant to be analyzed for symbolic meaning etc, but is a simple, ill-set up, story.
But perhaps you're right, it doesn't pretend to be that, it sincerely tries to be. If that's the case, then it failed in my eyes, explaining why it's not a movie I cared for. Besides my complaint of its intent, there's plenty, from the pacing to the script, that lead me to see it as unsuccessful in eliciting a response from me or from being a entirely well made film

>>70274354
This is exactly what I meant by pretending. The snakes and the mazes, they exist not to truly add anything, but for the sake of the appearance of depth. So, were the film sincere, I'd still see it as a failure, as I said above, but I believe that it wasn't sincere, it through things in for their own sake, with empty symbolism and disjointed emotions included for no other reason than in hopes it could convince viewers it was worth something. And to many people it did. But to me, it's offensive to think I could fall for something so empty

>>70274942
kek ok, I was just curious, because Malick often faces the same accusations of emptiness we've placed on Villeneuve, but I adore Malick and consider all his films extremely personal and sincere
>>70274975
*ever read, my mistake.
>>70274896
Eastwood, Malick, Ford, Zombie, De Palma, HHH, Linklater, Miike, Wong Kar-wai.
>>70275019
lol I wasn't the the anon you asked, but I couldn't resist the opportunity.
>>70274354
>>70274449
I can kind of see that point of view, but the way I took it was that it was a nice and moody noir, with little hints of symbolism that you can catch upon rewatches. They're tiny things that elevate a straightforward movie, not something that's attempting to be deep.

Fair enough, what are your thoughts on The Revenant? I found this to be another case of a straightforward story bogged down by needless things such as the floating wife visions etc. in an attempt to seem deep. However, The Revenant, I found, had a strong enough base story as well as fantastic cinematography and acting, that I was more willing to overlook Inarritu's pretensions
