While it's not like I expected much from it, it's still disappointing that EMH came together in an even more underwhelming, more "forgetting everything they had set up" way than Marble Hornets. I think in general it's not a great sign if you kill off almost your entire cast within a few videos after literal years of build up. I'm not saying that can't work but you have to do a ton of work to justify that sort of thing which was well beyond what these guys were capable of

Anna Biller has been just shredding La La Land on twitter, often just by posting screencaps of it next to screencaps of Jacques Demy musicals.

I'd have to dig back a bit to find the exact tweets, but either way Biller's definitely a film person worth following on Twitter (@missannabiller) edit: it actually looks like she deleted the screenshots from La La Land, although the Demy screenshot tweets are still up (maybeshe thought she was being too mean by putting them right next to each other), but these tweets are still up and sum up her feelings on the movie:

La La Land reminds me of Argo in that in an ideal world they would be considered mediocre/good, not above average/best picture.

Interesting set of value differences as well, chazelle revels in that rich musical aesthetic for its own pleasure (which i don't think is a bad thing in and of itself), while biller also frontloads her influences but instead uses that aesthetic to critique the overarching patriarchial structure yet still have them retain their surface appeal.

Argo's lame. The only real standout is the stuff at the end in the airport.

I was gonna say the only standout stuff is the beginning at the embassy, which is a major problem since the movie starts off with the only scene that has any urgency to it, making the rest of the movie extra dull and logy by comparison.

Is Jack Kirby in Argo? I haven't seen it, but if so I have a feeling my opinion of the film would revolve completely around the quality of that performance.

Another major knock against the movie: No, he isn't in it at all. There's like one shot of a dude sketching stuff who might be him, but he gets no lines and isn't named.

Yeah, actually I like the beginning. So, best case scenario, it's bookended by some good scenes. None of the Hollywood stuff lands for me at all, it just comes off as by the numbers and half-assed, like Affleck didn't actually care about that part of it.

I'm probably alone on this one but it's insane to me how cringeworthy like every scene with Alan Arkin is update: apparently the guy sketching is supposed to be Jack Kirby, and he's played by Michael Parks, which is not terrible casting, but again, I don't think he gets any lines.

Coffee And Pie posted:It's a perfectly competent political thriller. I agree. It's a bit run-of-the-mill, and pretty forgettable, but it's enjoyable enough. Not a Best Picture, of course. I enjoyed The Artist a lot more; it has much more vibrancy and plain joy to it than Argo. (Crash is, of course, a dreadful film which I couldn't finish). I just loved La la Land. I think this New Yorker review is pretty good, and deals nicely with the fact that the singing and dancing are not of the standard of the golden years to which they hearken back. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/12/12/dancing-with-the-stars

There's a scene where Gosling and Stone argue about their careers and futures that feels exactly how arguments I've had in a relationship before, and exactly how I think most people do have arguments. Each of them hits troubles that, in their chosen professions, would be real obstacles and real challenges to anyone trying to do what they are trying to do.

See I read this exactly the opposite way, Gosling's character is a goober incapable of innovation or moving on, which mirrors / leads to the final scene of him working alone in a jazz bar -- exactly where the Stone's character found him in the first place, even if he owns it now -- dreaming about what could have been if he'd held on to her while she's there with her family, happy to see him, but ready to leave when the song's over.
