Is Primer an actual good movie, or is it just a bunch of pretentious nerd wankery?

Hot Dog Day #82 posted:Is Primer an actual good movie, or is it just a bunch of pretentious nerd wankery? There's actually very little nerd wankery in it. Or, it's probably more accurate to say that you can inject as much nerd wankery into it as you want, or just enjoy it for what it is. That said, it's very slow paced and obviously it's a micro-budget indie, so don't expect any expensive special effects.

Hot Dog Day #82 posted:Is Primer an actual good movie, or is it just a bunch of pretentious nerd wankery? It’s not pretentious. You can tell that Carruth was actually an engineer based on the vibe of the two main guys discussing their discovery. The acting isn’t great, but the movie was made for something like 10k, so it’s really just impressive how much of a mood he created. I wish the last third held up for me, it’s not the narrative complexity but the fact you can’t really track the emotional arc of the characters very well. They also put a lot of eggs into the basket of stressing a particular event they’re trying to change that felt tonally weird to me. Without giving too much away. But I love the very very end, and it’s like 85 minutes so have at it.

This thread got me to watch Brawl in Cell Block 99. I did not expect the titular Brawl to happen almost 2 hours in to a 2 hour and 15 minute movie. Nor it to take an hour to even get to a prison. This was not a good movie, and could have been 45 minutes shorter, but I enjoyed turning off my brain and watching it well enough.

I wish I had paused Primer in the middle to look up a guide to the plot because I was thoroughly confused until I read up on it later. Once I understood how the time travel was being used, I found it pretty interesting. Also it's a "mumblecore" film so just know that going in.

Primer is one of the few movies that I can come back to every year for a rewatch and enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. The wife loving hates it. Also, I'm dying for Carruth to write/direct another film, after I also thoroughly enjoyed Upstream Color, for far different reasons. I'm hoping that he's working towards a trilogy in which Primer is the left brain film, UC is the right brain film, and the threequel will be the corpus callosum or something.

Carruth seems like the type that did his two low-budget hits, so now the studio will tap him to direct some giant blockbuster piece of poo poo that will destroy his career. Hopefully he'll be smart enough to avoid that.

I'm like halfway through the first episode of Jean-Claude Van Johnson and this poo poo is incredible. I dunno if it hits as hard for someone who isn't a fan of old JCVD movies, but goddamn. It's good to see JC again, and his sense of humor about himself just elevates it.

Now, he's in the midst of raising money for The Modern Ocean with a bunch of name actors attached, but for the moment, that project seems to be in limbo as well. man this makes me sad because Upstream Color is easily one of the best films i've ever seen, it's legitimately up there with Kurosawa's Dreams

Devilman crybaby on Netflix rules. And is as exploitive and violent as an adaptation of Devilman should be. Also it's so loving stylish.

I liked Primer a lot but I couldn’t even finish Upstream Color... Anybody here seen Lars von Trier’s Riget? (Currently on Shudder) It’s not really grabbing me after two episodes and I’m not sure if it’s going to drastically change or not. I can see why people compare it to Twin Peaks but I don’t think it’s nearly as compelling; I don’t find it spooky in the same way and the humor is really not landing for me.

Man, everyone should watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie on Netflix, up through to the public hanging scene. They make a whole bunch of accidental groping jokes that a year ago probably seemed innocent, but now are super off-putting. It's really uncomfortable, like watching a modern day Song of the South.

I had a go at Origin Wars (it goes by some different/longer but much wankier titles too), decent "background" action sci-fi movie that you don't need to pay too much attention to.

I binged the whole season of The End of the loving World last night...and it was way better than I expected it to be. Everything about it seemed perfectly put together, and I appreciated the tight ~20 minute episodes. The two main actors were great, but the music choices and the cinematography were the stars for me.

I started off not really feeling Brawl in Cell Block 99 but by the end I was having fun and was glad I stuck with it. Lots of the dialog in the beginning was pretty clunky and un-natural and amateurish (e.g. when he finds his wife chopping vegetables and says "what are you doing, you could hurt yourself" are we supposed to believe five months into her pregnancy that this is the first time she's ever cooked anything? Or the cutesy dialog about the pool room.) stuff like that, where it feels like a couple more passes at the script could have smoothed a lot of that stuff out. The overly long setup to get him in jail could have been tightened up as well. It also bothered me that all the prison guards were carrying guns all over the place. It's certainly not a realistic movie otherwise but everyone knows prison guards don't carry guns around like that and it doesn't add anything to the story or the fight scenes. Or maybe they could have just saved them for Don Johnson and the crazy jail and not had them in the more realistic first jail. Overall I liked it but it has major script issues that really ham-string the movie and should have been fine tuned.

Dave whining about LGBT people on the basis of them not having suffered as much as black people is the most mindboggling misguided dumbshit stuff. "they deserve dignity...blahblahblah but LOL they gross yucky." then it's like, "Since when has america cared about how ANY of us feel" yeah, that's what we're trying to change. I tried bill nye and NDT's Cosmos and neither really stuck. Come back Carl Sagan  glad I discovered Neo Yokio, I haven't had this much fun with silly anime since high school
