Aggro drift was both uncomfortable and hilarious, one of the most scathing statements on videogames I've ever seen. It's as videogamey as Hardcore Henry in its own way but it genuinely feels like it's more mocking the medium than anything.

regulargonzalez posted:It's a great movie with the flaw that every single thing presented as true in the movie is in fact not true, aside from the fact that Mozart wrote the pieces attributed to him. How much of a problem that is for the viewer really depends on what you want from it. But it's no more a biopic than Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is. You’re saying it’s all false but that it’s no more a biopic than ALVH! So which is it? Pick a side, dammit! We are having a nasty dispute with a builder who has ripped us off, and my wife is on the war path. It has reminded me of the Intolerable Cruelty “nail his rear end” scenes, which I just re-watched. I know a lot of people consider it one of their weaker films, but I really love it.

The reviews for Kinds of Kindness out of Cannes are good, just the right amount of praise and divisiveness to get me going. Though a 2h44m anthology is gonna be a test

It'd be like getting mad at Love Death & Robots having too many episodes. Unless the connection between the parts has its own deeper purpose, of course.

Saw La Chimera last night.The film has a wonderfully grubby feel - even the characters living apparently comfortable lives do so in run-down places, and you can see why our protagonist would, with reluctance, fall back in with his band of tomb robbers. Tried to think of a film to compare it to, guess First Cow is kinda close in film terms, with its measured pace and low level crime, but at the same time eighties Italy is a very different vibe. There's definitely a sense of being haunted in more ways than one. Ending: I felt a deep disappointment at the end of the film, and it took a little bit to disentangle that because it wasn't a disappointment in the film itself. It seemed like Arthur throwing the head away symbolised letting go of Beniamina, he was finally turning himself around and seeking a future with Italia. But he just couldn't help getting pulled back in for one last job...

I watch movies in little increments all the time and I think that’s a pretty bad way to watch something. The goat anthologies are Creepshow and Trick r Treat and those movies are a joy to watch from beginning to end. Nothings worse than an anthology with a bad ratio. Which is why I don’t really rewatch those vhs movies. Usually a cool segment

Out of interest, what percentage of La Chimera is in English vs other languages? Basically wondering how much will be subtitled and if I should go see it in the cinema vs being able to watch a fully subbed version at home in the future

Most of it is subtitled. He occasionally speaks English either on his own or with Isabella Rossellini (and Rohrwacher's sister speaks some English at the end) but like 90% of it is in Italian. I dug Happy as Lazzaro and Saint Maud as well so Alice Rohrwacher and Rose Glass really are my favorite directors to watch out for now.

I was finally able to watch Vegas in Space! The micro-budget epic sci-fi comedy about three space agents who are transformed into women and disguised as lounge singers to sneak into the all-female planet Clitoris. Filmed almost entirely in one apartment, most of the sets were created by skillfully tacking up big sheets of neon fake fur. Which serves as the backdrops for a cavalcade of gorgeous green-skinned alien queens. I liked it.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Second favorite movie of this year after Love Lies Bleeding. Just fantastic. Brought to mind Solaris and Shinya Tsukamoto's Vital for some weird reason. Just this doomed death drive. It reminded me most of Resnais's Je t'aime, Je t'aime. Top five of the year so far for me, but it's taking me some time to digest.

I was bad enough evangelizing Rushmore to anyone who wouldn't immediately get up and leave when I started talking, if I had known there was also a Dark Rushmore eventually someone would have killed me just to shut me up

When my highschool friends and I all watched DD together we ended up talking about the movie for a couple hours afterwards and by the end of the conversation I was so sick of it I came around to hating the movie. So in a sense it saved me from being an obnoxious teenager about DD with immersion therapy.
