With each movie he makes, I become less convinced Mike Flanagan has it in him to create a truly fantastic movie. I can see the ambition in almost all of them but he never sticks the landing and I'm starting to think he's limited by either his own skills or vision, as opposed to budget or script. Still rooting for the guy though. Coffee And Pie posted:Slice of life: I have a girlfriend...for the first time in like 4 years. It's weird but good. Already aching for the single life, I see.

He's kinda like a slightly lesser Adam Wingard to me. Both seem to come up short of what they're aiming for, I just prefer Wingard's work. Oculus sucked, Hush was all right and Ouija 2 was pretty good, so at least he's sort of on the right trajectory whereas Wingard's most recent was his weakest.

As an insomniac, this is my favorite time of year--the Australian Open. Coverage on ESPN and online feeds of pretty much every court from 7pm~7am New York time.

Youtubes of the insomniacs, one of my top punk songs of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEcIJeVlRBI If I Can't Have What I Want, I Don't Want Anything by the Screamers So punk they never did a studio recording. Peer Pressure is pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJRep5QDeh4

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:SAMUEL CLEMENS, are you manually searching Youtube to reconcile your list? Yeah, I just enter the relevant search terms (usually title and year, sometimes title and director or an alternate title) and see what comes up. There are a ton of uploads which are either in a different language, intentionally shoddy quality to get around the copyright detection, or simply clickbait, but you start recognising those fairly quickly after a while. Conversely, you also start noticing accounts which consistently upload quality content. Every film with hardcoded Croatian subtitles is by the same guy, for example. Why, is there a more convenient way?  Budgie Jumping posted:Good lord, Samuel Clemens you weren't kidding about Planet of the Vampires. loving awesome, easily among the top 3 best movies about finding a bunch of very big skeletons in space. It's a really pretty film, too. Almost on par with Forbidden Planet in terms of colour usage and set design.

Yeah you haven't really seen Alien or Prometheus until you've seen Planet of the Vampires. Tangentially, I watched Forbidden Planet for the first time yesterday and holy poo poo is Forbidden Planet a cool looking movie. The special effects, sets, and matte paintings are sick looking.

All this despite averaging 10 movies a week the last few months. Art is long

Egbert Souse posted:I've only seen Redux once and have only seen the original cut since then. Nothing terrible, but it's a much tighter film. L.A. Confidential is a masterpiece. If you can take your attention away from the god-tier acting, take in how dope the cinematography is.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Assuming we're just talking narrative film and not documentary, using a rough cutoff of 2005-present, here's 15 in no real order: I would also put Zero Dark Thirty on that list. It's really a great movie and knowing about all the poo poo that happened while they were making it only makes it more interesting.

I don't really like Heat much on a script or directing level, but goddamn if it isn't maybe the most beautifully shot American film of the '90s.

I spent a week or so in Durango a while back and had a good time. Colorado's a beautiful state.

He just moved here a few years ago, and does one or two screenings a year here. http://www.denverpost.com/2015/09/23/james-ellroy-calls-denver-alamo-drafthouse-home-for-new-film-series/ I always think of you when I see his name pop up.

I think Dickeye's the bigger Ellroy fan than me, all I've read was The Black Dahlia but that's definitely a great book. Despite adoring L.A. Confidential the movie, I still haven't read the book.

People tell me often to go down to LA to see about film poo poo, I tell them hell no. I'd rather stay in CO and help create a film place here. The potential for locations is astounding here. It's a great place.

I think Fargo, Saving Private Ryan, The Insider (coincidentally another Spinotti joint) and arguably Titanic have to be in that conversation, but, yes, Heat is loving gorgeous.

Yeah, the Insider, oof, what a tremendous movie that is all around. I think that and not Heat should be regarded as Mann's magnum opus. Definitely right that Fargo and Saving Private Ryan deserve a spot, and if we're talking SPR we of course also have to mention The Thin Red Line. I haven't seen Apollo 13 in forever, I should rewatch it. CelticPredator posted:People tell me often to go down to LA to see about film poo poo, I tell them hell no.

A friend who's very active in film just moved to Arizona and from the stuff she posts it seems like they have a pretty cool film community as well.

They do! Mostly everyone here is quite nice. I've been on a few shoots with some buddies and they do some real nice work! I shot a short with a buddy down at the sand dunes, which would've been incredible had we got gotten kicked out. But s'okay though.

I like the part where the captain is communicating with the crew of the other ship via video screen, and it's clearly just three actors cramped inside the set behind a glass window. It's genius, I'd never seen that before.
